Intimacy, Awkward, Facebook and Social Media: Shunned

Shunned

By ReayHorse - 28/07/2016 16:02

Today, I ran into an old couple everyone has been avoiding in my small town. Four weeks ago, they accidentally posted a picture of their pierced junk on Facebook, and I was one of the unlucky people who saw the actual picture. I can't make eye contact with them anymore. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went to the store and ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years. We chatted a little, and just as I was leaving he grabbed his mobile phone. Later, I added him on Facebook. Turns out the last thing he posted was a picture of my back saying: "Look who got even fatter." FML

Memorable

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

Caught redhanded

By Anonymous - 04/05/2024 20:00 - United States - Birmingham

Today, I fucked up by clicking on my ex's new partner's stories while deep-diving into their Instagram. Now they know I'm still lurking in the shadows of their social media because they can see who viewed their stories, and I can feel the judgment radiating through the screen. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML

Get me out of this time loop!

Today, I ran into an old friend at the grocery store and told them, "Let’s catch up soon!" We then ran into each other in every single aisle. It got awkwarder and awkwarder, and by the fifth time I was pretty sure neither of us wanted to see the other ever again. FML

Outcast

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.

Today, my grandpa accidentally posted a nude photo of himself on Facebook. I will never be able to unsee that. FML

Today, I found an old photo album in my Facebook account, which had pictures of previous hangouts with people I called friends at the time. I deleted it because they progressively cut ties with me over time. FML

It's never fun

By Jeff Newsroom - 19/05/2024 22:00 - United States

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

Stop tagging people

By CatsOutBagsOut - 14/03/2023 20:00

Today, thanks to my asshole coworker and his obsession of posting pictures and tagging me in them on Facebook after I repeatedly told him not to, my wife found out about a party we had with colleagues only. I’m seen in several photos kissing my work bestie, who I hoped I’d keep under wraps until now. FML

Accidents happen. Also it's just human anatomy. I feel worse for them if they didn't want anyone seeing the image, let alone being treated differently for it.

The only way to restore universal balance is to photoshop a bunch of piercings onto YOUR junk and show them the picture.

How small is your town that everyone has this random old couple on Facebook?

It probably went around and was passed from person to person. In which case it would be cyberbullying. It is wrong to alienate and ostracise people - especially for an entire month - that is ridiculous. Think of how they must be feeling? And they are old, they have presumably lived through a lot, and a lot of old people get lonely but this whole community ignoring them thing is not going to help.

They're human beings and everyone's somewhat weird behind what's posted onto social media anyways. Here's a catch, do something out of the ordinary and get everyone's minds off of what they did to give them a break? ._.

That's silly. Such a public platform for an accidental upload sucks but to be weirded out by them? Pffft I'd be stoked to know an old couple into body mods. I hope I'm still having an involved sex life when I'm old
