If you were a regular internet user in the 2010s, you probably already know that there was a learning curve. Uploading the wrong pic, a status update instead of a search, there were ample opportunities for early netizens to get something completely wrong. The best (or worst) part is that it’s pretty hard to make it go away.
Someone asked “What is the worst thing you or someone you know posted by mistake on social media?” and people shared their wildest examples. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your own thoughts in the comments below.

My grandmother was sending nudes to some guy on her phone and apparently accidentally posted it on Facebook. Everyone in our family saw the old cave and I never wanted to be more blind in my life then in that moment.

My manager at my old job had to “unfriend” several people from our office on her Facebook because she’d see them all out partying on the weekend then they’d call out sick Monday morning…she couldn’t hold it against them because it didn’t occur on company time but it’s hard NOT to to get upset with people who call out because they’re hungover and you KNOW it!…they do not pay her enough in my opinion lol (adult babysitter)

I was managing an office a few years ago and said to my staff that if I know they have been out and they call in "sick", I would be pissed. Phone me, say I'm too hungover, take a duvet day. I respect that, especially as someone who has also been called out (rightly) on my sudden case of flu after a night out 😉

I was with friends walking on a beach one night when we discovered police divers searching for body parts in the water. One 'friend' took some photos and said he was going to publish them on FB. I work in a job with another of the group and we had to ask him, quite threateningly in the end, to delete the pictures as I felt they could be seen quite negatively by our employers. He thought it was amusing. We didn't.

We used to have a lady in our office who would frequently call off sick with an Oscar-worthy "sick voice' that would have you worrying about catching her disease over the phone. One day she called off with severe bronchitis. The next week, one of our other departments published a newsletter featuring the charity golf tournament they held the same day our employee had called off. There she was, front and center, the winner of the ladies division. She went on a disciplinary medical certification program the next day.

My marriage began as an affair. After my husband left his ex-wife his stepson, who my husband had helped raise since he was six years old, was fully supportive and said to him "I don't know how you lasted as long as you did." His best friend's wife pulled me aside when we were having dinner at their house and told me, with tears in her eyes, how thankful they were to see him so happy. His whole family accepted me immediately. He will always regret that he didn't leave his marriage before having an affair, but many of the people who love him are not sure that he ever would have left if he hadn't fallen in love with me. No one is saying that his ex-wife is a horrible person, she is just a horrible partner.

Maybe tamer than most on here, but I have a friend who only posts pictures of herself that are heavily photoshopped and/or have snapchat filters that make her look "better". (I say "better" because it clears up her skin and straightens her teeth, but it makes her look so fake she looks like she's a CGI puppet.) It's so embarrassing, there's all these photos of her family on vacation and everyone looks fine except it looks like her husband has his arm around his CGI waifu.
But every now and then, every once in a while, she accidentally uploads a genuine photo, and it's shocking to see her *look like a real person*. These photos typically get taken down soon after and replaced with a CGI version.

Not all members of the Wehrmacht were Nazis. Generalmajor Hans Oster and others planned on overthrowing hitler and the n**i party, Claus von Stauffenberg along with other officers attempted to assassinate hitler. Three soldiers, Anton Schmid, Friedrich Rath and Friedrich Winking, heroically attempted and successfully saved Jews and prisoners but were court marshaled an executed for it. Two days before Germany’s unconditional surrender, 36 people, a unit of Wehrmacht and United States 12th Armored Division and 142nd Infantry Regiment, Austrian Resistance members, and prisoners with four tanks, banded together to defend prisoners at the Battle for Castle Itter against 150-200 members of the Waffen SS 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division armed with three 88 Flak guns. The ragtag group succeeded and protected the prisoners. They also captured 100 Waffen SS.
Barong 8 months ago (edited)
Members of the Wehrmacht unfortunately were responsible for carrying out Hitler’s and the Nazl party’s military goals regardless of how individual soldier or officer’s own ideals were aligned with the party or not. Many of them though were Nazis, or at least believed in their BS having been indoctrinated and fed propaganda for 10+ years. Many too were simply complacent even if they didn’t subscribe to the Nazl ideals, just trying to keep their head down, following orders to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. This makes it hard to sympathize for, or associate members of Wehrmacht as anything other than a Nazl and the evil they represent regardless if the individual was.

Charity Angel 8 months ago
Fun fact about JFK - it's fairly well known by now that he was ill for most of his life. What not many know is that he had what's now called a "zebra" condition called Addison's Disease. This is an autoimmune disorder that affects the adrenal glands to the point they can no longer produce the natural and necessary steroid cortisol. Cortisol is used to regulate just about every system of the body in one way or another. Addison's used to be invariably fatal, but the artificial steroid treatment that is routine now was pretty revolutionary when JFK was diagnosed. It's still a serious condition, and unfortunately the medical community in general has next to no knowledge of it, so don't know how to handle it. JFK is our most famous brother, and his birthday - May 29th - is Addison's Disease awareness day.

On FB I belong to a close knit group of women I've known for 20 years...we have a private group. In a drunken rage at about midnight, I went to the group and posted a very long, detailed, post about how I was tired of my husband never wanting to have s*x and it had been YEARS and I was over it and over his drama and I'm sorry that his junk didn't work and I mean just LAID IT OUT THERE. It was not kind but I was hurting and had been drinking and needed to vent but because of the hour I didn't have anyone to call and these women knew of the issues to a lesser extent.
About 3 minutes after I posted a dear friend of mine, a few hours earlier in her evening due to time zones messaged and said, "Not sure if you intended that post to be public...but it is." I took it down immediately and thanked her and she played therapist for awhile because clearly I needed it.
But for about 5 minutes intimate details of my non-s*x life and my husband's ED were out there for the world to see...or at least all of our friends and family. As far as I know no one saw it because no one ever brought it up...or if they did they were kind enough to spare me embarrassment of it. I'm sure no one mentioned it to him because he'd have, rightfully, lost his s**t.
He's an ex now and I've also quit drinking. Neither directly related to this incident though he is an ex due, in part, to the s*x situation.

Not a post, a comment. Our former classmate’s baby was stillborn. She posted her trauma and another person we went to school commented “congratulations! How is the baby doing now?”
I messaged that person and told them, hey you misread that. Would you want to edit your comment? She replied she was a social media expert and knows what she’s doing. Comment remained.
Lady posts a tribute every year, with the photo, and yes, that horrible comment reappears.

It's not social media, but I worked in a call center, and birthday cards were always passed around for people to sign. I was busy and didn't read it, so I wrote "Have a great day." on it. Well, luckily someone caught it, thank god. It was for a lady who had a still born birth.

Not sure if it technically counts as “social media” but we got a new spindle sander at work (carpentry shop) last year. If you don’t know what that is, picture a dowel about an inch around and 6 inches tall with sandpaper around it rotating very quickly while also moving up and down.
I took a video of it running with the caption “best seat in the house!” and sent it to what I thought was a WhatsApp group chat with my friends. Shortly after posting I realized it was, in fact, the group chat with the board members of my region’s chapter of an international college honors society.
I have never been so thankful that WhatsApp gives you the ability to delete a message. I still don’t know to this day if anyone saw it.

A girl I went to school with posted a picture on Facebook of her new tattoo, “Belive”. It was up for about 15 minutes before someone posted about the spelling and she deleted it. How she or the “artist” didn’t notice is beyond me.
Amesb34r: Spelling is hard for some people but if it's something that you can't delete and write again, like a tattoo for instance, I think I'd triple check that.
ShiraCheshire: I've done some pixel art involving letters before. When you're hyper focused on the tiny details of each letter, it's easy to lose track of the word and miss/substitute letters. Which is why you need to do something to mark the letter positions and orders before starting.
It's not a big deal when you're a teenager on deviantart posting Pokemon pixel art that accidentally says "Champon" instead of "Champion", but it is a very big deal when you're a tattoo artist.

The clarification that it was “to a girl” has me wondering. Was this before or after losing it to a boy? What of the many gender possibilities does/did OP identify with at the time? Is this a lesbian love affair flex or some weird homophobic clarification? I mean, letting us know it was to a girl is kinda pointless. Especially since we’ve no idea how that relates to what gender OP is. It’s just funny: “to a girl”

I genuinely think that online safety was drilled into my generation so hard, because we were the first growing up with internet access (or at least teens with internet access), but we forgot that our kids, who are growing up organically with the tech we had to learn to use, don't also organically pick up the security things - that has to be taught. Then again, some of these folk will be my age, and there's just no excuse for some of this idiocy.

Daughter rode a quad bike and had an accident. Mom told her not to post online about it, prob because she didn't want to deal with the inevitable phone calls before she's had a chance to quietly freak out about it herself (away from daughter). Daughter posts anyway, grandma calls mom. Mom isn't in good headspace, is rude to grandma (her mom). Daughter is cyber-grounded. Grandma is apologised to by mom.
