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.

Elderly woman in pink cardigan, using a smartphone to browse social media on a cozy sofa. 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.

    Person with a neck brace sitting on a couch, possibly related to social media mishaps. A coworker of mine came to work with a neck brace. She said she wasn't going to be able to work for a while. A few days later she posted a video of herself dancing at a party. Someone who didn't like her told the company and she was fired.

    Man relaxing in a hot tub with eyes closed, showcasing a serene moment. I’m 67. Sitting in the hot tub naked, wearing a rain hat and drinking a beer. My wife comes to the door and snaps a pic..she is partially blind. I didn’t have the jets on. Within 5 minutes my 40 yr old son texts..” hey you can see Dads junk in that picture you just posted..” his wife had seen it lol. Facebook.

    A woman typing on a laptop near a window, possibly posting to social media, with a coffee and glasses nearby. Many years ago, a coworker of mine made a series of Livejournal posts that she thought were private, chronicling how she was cheating on her husband.

    Woman in hammock using a laptop outdoors, working or browsing social media on a sunny day. Maybe not that bad, but my friend's mom joined Facebook. She wanted to snoop on an old boyfriend of hers. She typed his name over and over in the search box...but it wasn't the search box. It was the status update box. We all saw his name repeated over and over on the feed. She then made another status update that was "how do I delete this s**t?".

    A person in a green dress lounging and scrolling through social media on their phone, outdoors. My ex thought she was posting in a private chat. She admitted to having a few affairs.

    What's really sad is all the support she got for it and, of course, everyone said it was my fault.

    Pretty much the only ones who criticized her and supported me over this were her two sisters.

    Elderly man in glasses typing on a laptop by a window, representing accidental social media posts. My father liked the local swingers group, not realizing that activity would be seen by EVERYONE. Cue multiple calls to me by every single mutual friend... . And he couldn't figure out how to undo it, so we made a one time deal that I would log into his account and do it for him and not look anywhere else. (Not that I wanted to, I'd already made that mistake when trying to locate a blank CD at our house. It was not blank...).

    Man in a white shirt holding a box of office supplies, looking down, with stairs in the background, symbolizing accidental social media post. I ranted about my job and my dislike of my supervisor on MySpace. I worked for a political campaign at the time. A blogger for the opposition party found it and put it on blast. I was emptying out my desk the next morning. I deserved it and leaving that field was for the better in my personal life, but it was one of the most embarrassing and humiliating moments of my life. The thing has spread around the office like a wildfire and seeing everyone watch me be escorted out remains burned into my brain.

    Hand drawing on digital tablet with stylus, coffee mug nearby on a desk. I had a friend that is a digital illustrator, she takes custom orders.
    She logged into the wrong insta and cross-posted some very detailed and quite frankly, very well done furry p**n to her fb wall.
    I sent her a message within 2 minutes of her posting.
    But that's how i found out furry p**n is expensive and you never know who does what to pay the bills.

    Woman taking a selfie with a ring light, capturing a moment for social media. 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.

    Canadian flag waving over cityscape at sunset, with buildings in the background. A girl I knew made an instagram post on Remembrance Day (Canadian version of Memorial Day). It said something like "Today I want to remember my amazing Grandfather and Opa. Both of them fought bravely in WW2, even though they were on different sides". The pictures were of her grandfathers in military dress, and the Opa was wearing a very.... distinctive uniform.

    I still wish I had screenshotted it, but it was gone when I returned.

    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.

    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.

    So? My grandfather fought on the N**i side. He was also a medic. On the retreat from the Russians he came across a train wagon full of wounded soldiers. He could have saved himself but he stayed to care for them. Got him a couple of years in Siberia - yes, actual Siberia. Is that the action of a bad person? Your hubris in pretending that all Germans were happy to go to war is sickening. So, does that mean that all Americans were happy to throw Agent Orange?

    Remembrance Day is to remember those that gave their lives for their country and to hope that it doesn't happen again. You should respect those from all countries, including what was the enemy of the time. It's not her fault that her families were on opposite sides.

    Man in a café, wearing casual clothes, looking at smartphone, possibly checking social media. About 7-8 years ago a married (to a woman) guy in Scotland tried to post a pic of his grandson on Facebook and accidentally uploaded two photos of himself topless with some guy's d**k in his mouth. He couldn't work out how to delete it for ages and ended up claiming it was a 'face swap'. I always wondered if he got away with it or not.

    Elderly man in glasses using a laptop at a desk with bookshelves, illustrating social media content creation. Gather 'round children and let me tell you of the horrors of early Facebook. Back in the late 00s Facebook had a feature where you could send "gifts" to people that were really just a digital picture and spam. 90% of them were so-and-so sent you a bouquet of roses and it'd be a little picture of some flowers and you could click to send another "gift" to someone else. Anyway, my dad didn't realize that those would show to everyone on your friends list, and as he was in the process of leaving wife #2 for wife #3 I logged on one day to a wall of "[Dad] has sent a spanking to [wife 3]", "[dad] has sent a slave bikini Leia to [wife 3]", "[dad] has sent a sensual kiss to [wife 3]."

    I was already mad at him over the obvious affair he had been having, so this triggered us not speaking for several years.

    Mouse-Direct: OMG back when you used to see everyone's c**p on FB. I don't miss that. Seeing all your friends' Dads following cam girls. Ew.

    Lmao!! My husband is not tech savvy and when texting became a thing he would often make long run on paragraphs with zero punctuation or continuity. Which equates to him sending me the message that read "your mom called she will be here at four can't wait to tap that a*s I love you". Took me a while to unpack all that.

    Person in red pajamas, sipping wine, feet up, at desk with computer, reflecting a casual social media moment. 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.

    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.

    A woodworking table with tools, representing a crafted social media blunder post. 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.

    Tattoo artist working on a woman's tattoo, focusing intently, exemplifying social media mishaps during personal moments. 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.

I distinctly remember audibly saying "Ha, nice... Oh noooo..."

    It was a funny conversation on monday morning.

    A crowd at a concert, with someone taking a photo using a smartphone. Idk if it's accidental. But i did regretted it.

    When i was 16 i was super into green day and blink 182. I saw a video of a live performance where they were butt a*s naked with only their guitar covering their c****h. I thought it was hilarious so i grabbed my own guitar,get naked and took a pic of me doing the same thing. I posted it on myspace. The next day in school my whole class was kinda freaking out about it.

    Somehow, Facebook recorded me and my girlfriend having an argument and posted it... I had my phone in my pocket and hadn't been on Facebook in at least an hour.
    I deleted it as fast as I noticed sound coming from my pocket.

    When I lost my virginity to a girl I texted my friend about it the next day but sent it to her on mistake 😔

    It's not social media but close.

    I've seen a lot of 'on accident' before, but that's the first 'on mistake'

    I accidentally posted a weight loss progress pic that happened to be naked in the group chat. No way to unsend it. I freaked out and tried to hide it under spam which made it more obvious. Embarrassed for days. At least everyone got a good laugh out of it.

    When I first met my gf a few years back… we were chillin one day at my house… and at some point she started playing with my d**k while recording… and my lil brother called me like 3 times back to back (FaceTimed me) and 2 of my best friends were blowing my phone up.

    She accidentally posted it on my Snapchat story as she was recording off my phone lmao.


    Not really a big deal my and my friends laugh about it to this day.

    "Not really a big deal" probably not the best choice of words. 😂

    A highschool friend posted hundreds of pictures from her p**n tryout on FB. Hundreds. She then proceeds to tag everyone so we won't be surprised if we see them. Pretty much guaranteed at this point. Her reasoning? Just so she wouldn't lose them.

    Person's neck with a mole, possibly resembling a scene accidentally shared on social media. Few years ago now I thought i had a new mole on my skin and being the huge health worried that I am I immediately panicked and went to do an e-consult online. I could only do it on my laptop so I uploaded the pictures I took of my skin on Facebook so I could save them on my computer, silly me forgot to change the privacy settings to ‘Only me’ who could view it and a few moments after uploading my best mate pops up asking me “Why have you posted your fat on Facebook?” Had he not done that who knows how long I would’ve left it there for!

    She ... posted the pics on FB so she could save them on her computer? Has she not heard about the existence of email? I realize not everyone has airdrop.

    A woman in my neighborhood accidentally posted a n**e of herself in her dirty bathtub. She realized it pretty quickly but not quickly enough. So many people still have the screenshot.

    I appreciate the implication that it's the dirty bathtub that is the source of embarrassment.

    BP keeps adding more words to their no fly list and soon we'll be reading "I was ******* ** *** ******* ** ****** **** * *******!" I totally understand censoring out cuss words and hate speech, but the rest is just stupid. Oh wait, s****d.

    A guy posted his Crypto account summary. No seed or anything, but somehow he posted his account summary. He's doing pretty well.

    That would be my daughter. Who posted on Insta RIGHT AFTER I TOLD HER NOT TO POST that she was in the ER. I was processing her ATV accident when my mom called. I was short and rude to her but called back an hour later to apologize and update. Daughter lost her IG privilege for a month. She knew she f****d up. Hasn't been that stupid on social media since. She was 14 at the time.

    Yes - mom hadn't told family yet daughter was in hospital as mom was trying to process the events before answering a bunch of questions from people. Daughter posted it and mom had to answer questions while still trying to process what drs were gonna do first. I would be livid myself. Not cool.
