Work, Awkward, Photography, Facebook and Social Media: Memorable

Memorable

By ForgottenSarahMarshall - 22/05/2014 05:51 - United States - Aubrey

Today, I was creeping on an old coworker's Facebook and noticed they'd tagged my face in an old group photo as another girl. According to the comments, the girl they'd tagged me as thought it was her too. I worked there for two years and nobody mentioned the mistake. FML

Today, I was accidentally tagged in a photo of a group of people by a 'friend' on Facebook. She later corrected it, apparently everyone had already seen the tag and decided that the comment box below was a great opportunity to discuss how none of them would ever be caught dead hanging out with me.

Doesn't add up

Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML

It's never fun

Today, I thought it would be fun to post a throwback photo of myself in high school on Facebook. I didn't realize I was still logged into my work account. Now all my colleagues and clients have seen my awkward teenage years, complete with braces, pimples, and an unfortunate haircut. FML

Today, I saw a few old co-workers at the bar. They recognized me and started calling me by the nickname they had for me that I was unaware of. It appears I was known as "butch megan" by the entire office for 2 years. FML

Today, I took a picture of myself and put it on Facebook. After I did so, I realized that in the background, you can see my crush's Facebook page up on my laptop. He tagged himself. FML

Today, I realized that I've been using the wrong name for a coworker for the past 6 months. I just found out their real name when I saw their name tag. FML

Stolen valor

Today, I was on Facebook when I saw a picture a popular girl I don't talk to had posted of her fake ID. She had used my full name and identical signature. FML

Today, Facebook notified me a "friend" had tagged me in one of his photos. It was a group photo of 20, but my face was the only one that was intentionally blocked out with an emoji because I "didn't belong in the group." FML

Today, on my Facebook newsfeed, I noticed a photo of a coworker. In the comment section of the photo he and his wife had written "I love you" to each other. As a joke I commented "get a room". Turns out the woman with the same surname as my coworker wasn't in fact his wife, but his daughter. FML

Today, I found an old friend of mine on Facebook. After adding her, I suggested friends for her. She ended up adding every single one I added, but not me. I later saw her ask one of those friends who the hell I was and how I knew all of them. We used to eat lunch together everyday. FML

If you really did put your name in your username, then you need to learn internet safety.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a tv show...the username is a play on it...

Ah, I see. Thank you for the correction. That's why I put "If you" in there.

Just tell them about their mistake OP :) I can't help but wonder how the other girl thinks that it is her, wouldn't she remember the photo being taken, or at least recognise her own face?

I was wondering if maybe OP is the one who made the mistake thinking its her, seeing as so many others (including the other girl) think it's the other girl? Either way I imagine its a very blurry small group photo which she's barely seen; so not a big deal. Of course I could be wrong.

I bet OP is very pretty and the girl wanted credit for it. Hidden compliment, OP. Take it.

I was wondering that as well, either way one of them is confused

So? Do you really think everyone checks all the tags in all the photos? You and the other girl are probably the only ones to ever notice.

Plot twist: the person in the picture is not actually you but indeed, the other girl dunndun dunnnnn

I believe that was EXACTLY what was said. No big plot twist there.

I was actually wondering the same thing seeing as more than one person (including the other girl) think the picture is of this other girl. If it's a small enough picture it could totally be possible.
