50 People Who Learned To Think Twice Before Correcting Someone, As Shared By The ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People’ Facebook Page
Everyone likes to feel like they’re an expert in something. Whether that’s science, cooking, politics, parenting, or anything else, really. And though we might have some deeper insights in our chosen field and feel like we can see a broader context than most other people, it’s important to (try and) stay humble.
Because the moment we feel all sure of ourselves when we drop a ‘truth’ bomb on social media, we might come to realize that we’ve totally messed up. Oh God, we had it wrong all along! And now someone’s poking fun at us online for everyone to see.
Welcome to ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People,’ a popular Facebook group that shames internet users who spread wildly incorrect facts while trying to prove someone wrong. Scroll down for some major embarrassment, Pandas, and let us know which of these situations really made you feel bad about all of the secondhand awkwardness.

"Glad to be part of your learning journey today." I have to remember that lol
Lol, yea in most estern countries you can drink and buy alcohol after you're 18, in the US you cán buy a rifle at 18, but God forbid you have a beer before you're 21 lolololol
A whopping 663.9k people follow the ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People’ Facebook page. In the last month alone, another 1,890 users joined the group. Created just 2 years ago, the project has kept growing and growing.
After all, the internet’s chock full of totally wrong opinions, as well as entitled and arrogant people who think they’ve got it all figured out (while others are dum-dums). That probably won’t change any time in the future, so the PICOP group will have plenty of material to share with others for years to come.
All members of the group are expected to be kind to one another and avoid harassing or insulting anyone. Otherwise, they’ll be banned.
That means no bullying, no hate speech, and absolutely respecting everyone else’s privacy.
Please tell me she didn’t pee on the test, as well.

I didn’t know could Covid was like that.. Like “I’m sorry , but this Covid couldn’t possibly be mine and I’m not paying any Covid support”.
Ah! So THAT was the solution to avoid getting Covid: a vasectomy! Why did we not think about that before, instead of taking vaccines and wearing masks etc?? (P.S I know that the guy misunderstood the covid test to be a pregnancy test, before I get downvoted into getting banned!)
This is the very reason why I come to BP everyday. I laughed so hard until I knocked my head against my glass desk. Nevermind the pain. All my unhappiness from work has now been banished.
I don't know what I find more mind boggling - that he doesn't recognize this thing as a covid test or that he thinks she could have a positive pregnancy test the day after having intercourse...
The guy responding to having a vasectomy thinks the covid test is a pregnancy test.

Yes it is. Other person mistook it for pregnancy test.

Damnit man. I had to look at the picture and read the text more than I'd like to admit to realize it was a covid test and not a pregnancy test.
To all the commenters above, You are blind to good sarcasm. The guy was subtle in his sarcasm but none of you caught it.
Oookaayy. Well folks you can't fix stupid but I can say as a nurse you can sedate it if you need to
Why is everyone missing the fact that this guy thought a pregnancy test would even work that fast? I get that it's a covid test. Also clearly they weren't using protection.
his was a good choice. also for all of us, who avoid a copy of him around.
Answering your response. Firstly, Vasectomies can reverse themselves, Yes it does happen, Secondly, A pregnancy Test does not show up positive after 24 hours, it usually takes 6 - 8 weeks. And lastly, that is not a pregnancy test strip, THAT is a RAT test strip. And it' s positive. Meaning Covid 19.
Right? A pregnancy test wouldn't show positive for about 3-4 weeks. And I LOVE the "I had a vasectomy" comment. Someone's looking for a baby Daddy - ANY baby Daddy.
Covid: You... Are not my father...??? *Anger and points staff at the fellow* Infectus Diseasius!!! XP
🤦♀️🤦 it even says covid on the freaking test! Have they lived under a rock for years?? Since they clearly haven’t seen a covidtest?!
I date to say, there's a good bunch of people who knows what a covid test looks like, another bunch who knows what a pregnancy test looks like. At first glance, the confusion is understandable. Also, you can still get someone pregnant after a vasectomy.
I think she was letting him know he is at risk due to contact with her, not that he gave it to her.

A friend's husband had a more wholesome version of this reaction. He wants another.
Omg, LMAO!! If Covid were proven to come from spęrm, I think it’s safe to say that all life on earth would be doomed AF! 🤣
I wish for her sake that was a false positive COVID test. Lol And also, at least on our planet, a female cannot get pregnant and produce enough HCG hormone within 24hrs of having intercourse in order to produce a positive pregnancy test, if that was a pregnancy test (which it obviously isn't).

Before you go ahead and share something you think might fit the tone of the group, check out what some of the other members have already posted. You might have spotted the same thing that a dozen others have spotted online! And if you want to make it easier for the audience to get what’s going on in your screenshots, you can also add a bit of context.
The simple fact of the matter is that we all make mistakes. Like it or not, that’s just the truth about life: we’re never going to be 100% correct, 100% of the time. And most of us have probably been in situations where we turned out to be flat-out wrong. It’s embarrassing to make a fool of yourself.
That’s why dealing with these feelings in a healthy manner and learning to embrace your mistakes are good skills to have for any human being. Digging in your heels, closing your eyes, and plugging your ears so as not to hear that you’re actually incredibly wrong really isn’t the mature way to go about things.
A while back, Bored Panda had a very good conversation about dealing with any feelings of embarrassment that might arise—whether now or remembering mess-ups in the past—with environmental psychologist and well-being consultant Lee Chambers.
"While embarrassment can be a challenging feeling that is fleeting or overwhelming, being able to find a response that assists rather than a reaction that is unhealthy is a skill to build," he said that we can all develop ways to handle embarrassing situations better. Humor, for instance, is one powerful tool in your arsenal.
So much potential for the Thirteenth Doctor, but it got wasted on trying to make the show relevant and having to wait a full year between series. Hopefully now that RTD is back at the helm the show will become enjoyable again and can't wait to see what's in store for the Fourteenth Doctor.
"If it's something that isn't particularly serious, laughter can be a great response that instantly makes you feel better," he told Bored Panda.
"If the feelings are intense, try taking a few slow, deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth, calming your nervous system and physiological response,” he explained.
I wish, people would get maps and stop telling me 'Belgium" is a city in Germany.
“In a similar way to laughter, smiling can be effective in shifting your state to the positive. There are times when playing down or even ignoring the feelings can be helpful in the moment, taking the edge off, but it is important that you accept them and express them if it's something significant," the psychologist said.
“Because the feelings of embarrassment are generated from a past event, anything that brings you into the present moment can bring relief. Try to avoid saying sorry, as it will keep taking you back to the moment. You can even keep your biggest embarrassing moments top of mind, having reflected and realized that in hindsight, they weren't as big an issue as you felt at the time.”
Have you ever messed up big-time when expressing an opinion or sharing a ‘fact’ online, dear Pandas? How did you feel when you realize you made a huge mistake? Do you ever call out folks who are totally wrong on social media? Share your experiences and opinions with us, we’d love to hear what you think.
I'm sure Mercury the planet would also sink in water, so the statement still stands!
when 13 players out of 22 are from African heritage you can get the joke, but also the fact that 50 players in the World Cup were born in France, and because of the double nationality they chose to represent an other country
Christ on a bike! I've never played Halo but at least I know who Master Chief is. He makes a mean apple pie
Please correct me if i m wrong here... Oceania is the name of continent where Australia and New Zealand belongs to...

Two thirds of these supposedly stupid comments are jokes. Are we just meant to act like they are genuine comments to feel superior or something?
Ding Ding Ding! You discovered the purpose of most internet "discussions"!

The real idiot responses are the ones from people taking the most obvious troll bait I’ve seen in a while.
It's so sad. What the dumbing down of our educational system has produced.
Last time I commented on one of these making fun of igorance lists I got in trouble. At first you feel superior and roll your eyes but as you scroll down it get depressing and you, or perhaps just I, begin to feel rather mean and condescending and don't like myself. Next time I hope I'll just pass instead.
