People Who Made Us Facepalm
We’re not going to say we’ve never made a mistake in our lives. Typically, we do small things that people won’t remember. Of course, some people make mistakes or comments so bad they’re etched into our minds. It’s like some people never learned how to use their brains. Social media is amazing for lots of reasons, but you have to be okay with whatever you’re posting living on the internet forever. A lot of these blunders were made on social media by people who we really hope regret their actions. If they’re not defending their right to cheat on their spouse, they’re convincing everyone to go against modern medicine and science. Sit back, relax, and let’s dive into the world of epic facepalms. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this!
Work Your Brain
As much as we’re sure we all hate to admit it, we all have a favorite celebrity or artist. We’re a little too invested in their lives and always want to know what they’re up to. With that being said, we’ve never made excuses for them or defended their absurd amount of wealth. Taylor Swift is an amazing singer with a huge fan base and lots of money.
Working-class people work low-paying jobs that are often physically and mentally draining. Any sane person would know that Swift with her multiple mansions and expensive lifestyle is not working class. It amazes us that someone would think she’s a part of the working class.
That Didn’t Age Well
It’s sad to say but cheating seems to be more and more common these days. If you no longer are in love with your partner or don’t want to be with them, you need to let them know. Entering into an affair will not only hurt your partner, but it will lead to a messy divorce and trouble for your children.
Sometimes when we make a mistake we try to rationalize our decisions, but Ellie was trying a bit too hard. Cheating doesn’t make you a better mother, it makes your kid lose trust in you and afraid of getting into their own romantic relationships. Part of us hates Ellie for trying to make money off her cheating scandal. The other part is happy she admitted that cheating is always a bad idea.
Join The Club
No country is perfect, and we’re sure there are times in every country’s history they aren’t proud of. For most places, the things they aren’t proud of are a lot farther back in history. Sadly for Americans, the riot of January 6th, 2021 was very recent and very bad. If you’re unhappy with an election, that’s okay, but rioting and breaking into the Capitol isn’t the solution.
Thankfully, the people who participated were held accountable and a lot of them were jailed. We never thought some people would feel jealous over not being arrested, but nothing about the January 6th rioters should surprise us anymore. This mugshot is embarrassing, weird, and way over the top.
Don’t Drink And Shoot
When you first start drinking it can take time to learn your limits. During this time, you might do stupid things that you come to regret. If you’re going to do stupid things, your youth is the best time and it helps shape a smarter adult life for yourself. These Arkansas men missed that memo and then took their drunk shenanigans way too far.
Most people just eat too much greasy food or say things they don’t mean while drunk. Shooting each other while wearing bulletproof vests is so far beyond the realm of stupidity. At least they were bright enough to wear the vests, otherwise, this could have ended very differently.
Not The Argument You Think It Is
Corona was a difficult time for more reasons than one. People lost their jobs, had to quarantine and others lost their lives. We were so happy when the vaccine came out because it meant life could go back to normal. Sadly, there also became a pandemic of anti-vaxxers. All the time spent alone clearly got to people and they took it out on science.
People would make the weirdest excuses for not wanting to get vaccinated. These people took things one step too far by trying to convert other people to the dark side. This Twitter user had the not-so-bright idea to bring the black plague into it. If they wanted a third of the population to die, they should have just said that.
Out Of Touch Central
Have you ever said something without thinking? It happens to the best of us which is why it’s important to take your time before speaking. On the same note, you should also be thinking before posting on the internet. Homelessness is a huge problem in a lot of cities worldwide, and most people spend their time figuring out ways to solve it.
Some people seem to be more concerned with other issues like not enough men telling them they’re pretty. To this girl, the obvious solution is for there to be homeless people on the streets so she can be complemented daily. She makes everyone else’s stupid comments seem like nothing.
Better Luck Next Time
What’s your favorite thing about going on vacation? Some people love to relax and let loose, and some just like to get their tan on. There are also the people who strive to get amazing pictures for their social media to make everyone else jealous. We can’t say we’ve never done this before, but we can say we’re a lot smarter about it than this girl.
If she had caught a shark she would have been the talk of the town. Now she’ll be the talk of the town for not knowing the difference between a baby shark and a catfish. It’s not like this is even an easy mistake to make, at least then we’d have a little more compassion for her.
Vegetables Will Save You
We’re all human which means from time to time we’ll make mistakes. Sometimes you’ll have an accident that leaves you with broken bones, nerve damage, or even tetanus. The good thing is we live in a modern world where we have solutions for these problems. Tetanus, if left untreated can result in death, which is why it’s recommended to stay up to date on your tetanus shots.
Sadly, with the invention of modern medicine also came the invention of anti-vaxxers and people against medical care. If this wife wants to treat her husband’s life-threatening condition with onion-filled socks, so be it! She shouldn’t be surprised if it turns her into a widow sooner than expected.
Pick Your Poison
As the years have gone on a lot of information has been thrown at us about our health. Everywhere you turn someone is telling you you’re eating poison. It can start to feel overwhelming, and these people will stop at nothing to convince you everything is trying to kill you.
Fluoride is great for your teeth, which is why it’s in almost all brands of toothpaste and sometimes tap water. This driver must have something against good teeth, not only does she want to get rid of the fluoride water, but she also smokes cigarettes. Speaking of cigarettes, they are actual poison, so she shouldn’t get to police anyone else based on their lifestyle.
Why So Blue?
Having a child is an exciting time in a couple’s life. You get to bring a baby into this world that is half you and half the person you love. In the 9 months leading up to birth, a lot of people throw fun events, like a gender reveal party to celebrate their new addition. Gender reveal parties used to be fun and simple, like cutting into a cake that was either pink or blue.
Over time, these reveals have gotten a lot more elaborate, and sometimes dangerous or damaging. We’re not sure who came up with the idea to dye a water supply, but they should be sued. The whole town doesn’t need to suffer because you need 5 minutes of fun at your party.
Does This Count?
What’s your favorite place to pick up a morning cup of coffee? We all have our opinions and they tend to be so strong we’d never consider another shop. There are a few things that will get us to change our minds, and it’s all about how the shop treats its employees. Starbucks is a huge corporation with lots of money, but not a lot of respect for their baristas.
When their workers tried to unionize, they got fired and put many people out of jobs. Instead of owning up to their mistakes, they took to Twitter to try and distract people with some of the good they’ve done. Thankfully, this former employee was quick to call them out.
Do I Tell You How To Do Your Job?
Do you like what you do? Most people pick their jobs because they enjoy them, want to make a difference and find their position respectable. Teachers are the backbone of our society, and if you don’t think so, you’re not thinking right.
For some reason, parents these days think they get a say in what the curriculum is, or think they can prevent their child from learning about certain parts of history. Not only does this hurt their children, but it insinuates teachers don’t know how to do their jobs. If this dad doesn’t want his son to keep up with current events, or get a well-rounded education, he should keep his kid home and take up homeschooling.
Sigh, Math Is Hard
What do you do when you want to find a new recipe? You can ask friends or family, or if you’re anything like us you can turn to the Internet. Online you can find recipes from a variety of cultures and people and are bound to find something you’ll love.
Not only will you get a detailed recipe description and instructions, but you can also see comments from other people who have made the recipe. Sadly, not all the comments are going to be helpful, but they’re almost always entering. Fractions were hard for us to do, but by middle school, we understood that one-fourth was less than one-third. Do you think she’ll ever realize her mistake?
All Aboard The Crazy Train
What’s the most desperate thing you’ve done to win back or even get revenge on an ex? We’ve done a lot of things we’re not proud of, like prank calls, or even writing them love letters. No matter how far you think you’ve taken something, we guarantee it can’t be worse than this girl’s solution.
We’ve heard of people posing with a guy as a fake boyfriend, but this is a whole new level of crazy. We don’t even want to know how much money, effort, and planning went into planning this event. Hopefully, her getting completely ignored is the push she needs to forget him for good.
All Hope Is Lost
What field do you work in? Whatever it is, we’re sure you spent a lot of time studying it and have become an expert. Working in any scientific field is especially impressive, but not all of society views it that way. Some people have made it their life’s mission to discredit science or make a mockery of it.
You can usually find these people posting their absurd thoughts on Twitter. You’ll also find scientists trying to educate people and explain to them why they’re wrong. It’s obvious this person has no interest in knowing the truth, otherwise, they wouldn’t have kept up this anti-science charade past middle school.
Wait… What?!
As we grow, we develop certain beliefs and our moral compass changes. A lot of people stop eating meat, wearing leather, or using products tested on animals. To some, this seems extreme, but we’re proud of those people for taking a stand for what they believe in. Of course, some people take things too far, or sometimes just in a weird direction.
It’s good to date someone with a similar belief system to you. We want to understand where Emily is coming from, but she lost us when suggested she’d rather date animal rapists. If you see Emily or her partner in the streets while out walking your dog it may be best to steer clear.
Death By Meat
The best part of being human is that we have free will. You can choose who you want to be, what you want to believe in, and how to live your life. If you decide you don’t want to eat animals, that’s great for you! Being vegetarian doesn’t give you the right to preach to meat eaters and make them think death is knocking on their doors for their carnivorous choices.
There are lots of reasons people live longer, and it doesn’t always have to do with their diet. Comparing Lennon to McCartney was in extremely poor taste. If this person wanted to make a celebrity comparison, they should have done a little more research on the cause of death.
Aren’t You Supposed To Be Smart?
Have you ever gotten jealous of someone else before? These feelings are normal, but it’s important to not let your green-eyed monster get the best of you. This man, Lloyd, is a professor so he’s obviously very smart. If he was so smart, you’d think he wouldn’t need to go around bashing other people to make himself feel better.
He’d also know that all books come with the author’s name on it. Not everyone wants to keep things anonymous, and people deserve credit for their work! If anyone here has an ego issue it’s Lloyd, and he might just be bruised beyond repair. We hope none of his students see this.
A Cold Dead Heart
Life is full of ups and downs, but unfortunately, we can’t predict how any of it will go. Some people will live a life unscathed while others will face unimaginable tragedy. Children are a blessing, and there’s almost nothing a parent wouldn’t do for their kid. Losing a child is the most painful thing a parent can experience.
We can’t imagine how difficult it is for this dad to not just have lost his daughter but have zero support from his partner. Losing someone isn’t something you ever get over, but especially not in 2 short days. The person responding to this absurd comment said it best; they should go through multiple cacti.
You Got What You Deserve
Some say it’s natural for parents to favor one child over the other, however, you’re not supposed to let the children know. Sadly, in some cultures, certain genders are preferred, and it tends to be boys over girls. This means that some parents will do whatever it takes to give their sons the best lives while being indifferent toward their daughters.
It takes a special kind of cruelty to abandon your daughter and then expect her to buy real estate for her brother. It’s unclear why they think they’re able to sue for this, but whatever happens, we hope the daughter gets some funds back. What do you think the judge thought of this case?
This Isn’t A Group Date
What’s your opinion on modern-day dating? Most people aren’t huge fans of how romance looks in recent generations. Getting a date is hard enough, but having a successful date is even harder. Unless otherwise stated, when someone asks you on a date, they only want you to show up.
It’s normal to talk to your friends about the date after it’s happened, not invite them to experience it with you. We feel awful for this guy who was all excited about his date only to realize she brought others along. Good for him for not being a pushover and paying for all their food. It sounds like the internet flamed this girl for posting this, and rightfully so.
Cheaters Never Prosper
What’s the worst thing someone has done to you in a relationship? As sad as it is to say, cheating has become all too common. We don’t know how many times we have to say it: if you’re not happy with your partner, break up with them! A breakup hurts significantly less than finding out your partner has been seeing someone else behind your back.
Not everyone can allow a second chance after finding out their partner has cheated. If you ask us, the fact that this man left after finding out his girlfriend was cheating proves he’s a real man. Real men know when enough is enough, and when to stop fighting.
What Are The Odds?
People tend to have very strong feelings about the Kardashians. You either love them or despise them, but no matter what side you’re on, you can’t say they aren’t interesting. Kim is especially interesting, and a lot of the time it’s for the controversial or weird things she says. Family is obviously very important to her, but this post makes no sense.
This saying is meant for close friends, people in love, or any other type of person you didn’t share a womb with. Kim has said a lot of stupid things in her time as an internet sensation, but this makes the top ten. What’s your favorite Kardashian blunder?
Here Lies Your Car
When we first got our licenses at sixteen we were beyond thrilled. We learned just about everything you could when it came to driving and cars. There were a few things we made sure to take special note of, like not putting diesel in our cars. Some car issues can be fixed, but putting diesel in your gas tank is pretty much a death sentence.
We can’t believe we have to tell a grown woman this, but diesel and gas are not interchangeable. If the station you’re at is out of gas, you should go to a new station. We want to feel bad for her, but we’re sure someone gave her this information at one point and she simply neglected to listen.
Love At Eighth Turn Down
Dating is difficult, and if you don’t think so it means you’ve been out of the game for a while. It used to be that you could simply go up to someone and ask them out. Nowadays, a lot of people do this dance where they’ll turn down someone multiple times so they’ll put in extra effort.
We’ve never understood this, if you want to date someone, say yes when they ask you out the first time. A lot of men have become fed up with this and won’t bother after getting their first rejection. This girl needs to understand that dating isn’t meant to be a mind game. If she doesn’t shape up soon, all the good guys will be gone.
Are You Sure About That?
As much as we’d love to, there’s no way to predict how our lives are going to turn out. Unfortunately for the people of Maui, a devastating fire ripped through and destroyed their way of living. People lost their lives, their homes, loved ones, and just about anything that mattered to them.
We understand the need for faith in times like this, but still, this post by Graham Allen was in extremely poor taste. Thankfully, the people of Twitter will take any excuse to call someone out. This user makes a great point and we hope it makes Allen think before posting again. It’s also worth noting that the reason the church didn’t break down is all due to the material used.
Better Luck Next Trend
There have been a lot of good things to come out of social media, like how easy it is to connect with friends and family. There have also been a lot of unforeseen downsides, like trends that cause people to permanently damage their faces. The beauty standard is always changing, and it seems with each day there’s a new trend.
Freckles used to be frowned upon, but now they’re the next big craze. A lot of hacks have come out on social media to give the illusion that you were born with freckles. Unfortunately, this user took things too far and ended up with something permanent, but not in a good way.
Consider This Argument Canceled
Have you ever done something that’s not socially acceptable? We’ve all done things we’re not proud of. Depending on what you say or do, you might become a victim of cancel culture. Some of the time the reasons someone is “canceled” are stupid, like a celebrity not saying hi to a former costar in public.
Other reasons are completely valid, like if a celebrity says a slur or is rude to others. Recently, some people have said cancel culture is too intense, and are looking for ways to cancel cancel culture. It’s safe to say Nita’s attempt was a mess seeing as God is apparently the originator of cancel culture.
Comparing Apples To Buildings
We think it’s great that people are sharing their hobbies on TikTok. Recently, a lot of people have gotten into flipping furniture and sharing their finds with the world. Some people love seeing an old item being given a new touch, and others take serious offense for some reason.
If there’s one thing we know for certain about people on the internet it’s that they will always tell you what they think. This person didn’t need to voice their disdain, and they surely didn’t need to take it a million steps further by comparing furniture flipping to slavery. Whoever this is should have their commenting privileges revoked until further notice.
How Much More Confused Can You Get?
We feel for those who work in customer service jobs. If a customer isn’t being mean to your face, they’re testing your patience in other ways. Some people have trouble with hearing or are worried they’ll mispronounce someone’s name. No matter how awkward it might be to get it wrong the first few times, it’s better to make mistakes and then eventually get it right.
It can feel disheartening to hear someone butcher your name over and over. This lady’s mind must have been doing backflips for her to go from Jade to Dwayne. At least this former bank worker was able to confide in the internet about how the interaction made them feel.
Did You Pass Preschool?
Nobody is perfect, not even your partner whom you love to the ends of the earth. This means that sometimes you’ll get into little disagreements with them, even over stupid things. There are a few ways to solve these squabbles, and most couples prefer to hash things out on their own.
When you can’t agree together, you’ll need to bring in the big guns: asking friends or family to mediate. Normally the arguments brought up to others are about big life events or issues that are impeding on quality of life. We’re sure this family never thought they’d see the day when they had to settle an argument about names of colors.
Not a Lion in the Slightest
Not only is it a famous jewel from Hollywood history, but the Pink Panther is also a chill cat that never gets his tail in a twist. This wiley animated feline has been in shows and movies for decades. While his designation is in his name, not everyone is clear on who the Pink Panther actually is. In case anyone is still confused, he’s not a lion.
If he were a real animal, he’d be a…wait for it…panther. They’re not lions. In fact, panthers are in their own little group of felines! Science is amazing, huh? There’s no trick here either. We’re not kidding when we say the Pink Panther is a panther, not a lion.
Stay In School, Kids
Do you remember having to go to sex ed when you were in middle school? At the time we thought it was weird, and maybe even a bit gross. Today, we’re extremely thankful for the education we received because it made us more prepared for our adult lives.
A lot of places refuse to educate their children on how babies are made, and this leads to a lot of avoidable situations. There are two opposite sides of the spectrum: teens end up pregnant, or adults go into marriage not knowing how babies are made. We can’t imagine the shock and confusion this couple must have felt after learning the true purpose of sex.
Maybe He’s Ugly on the Inside
Here’s a golden rule: don’t resort to name-calling. It’s just not cool, and nobody enjoys being on the receiving end of that. Now, if you happen to be in a sibling squabble and you’re itching to score some points, a personal insult can be quite the weapon. But, be cautious about the ammunition you select. For instance, calling them “ugly” might seem like a clever jab in the heat of the moment. However, if you’re identical twins, doesn’t that mean you’re calling yourself ugly too? Ouch!
It does make you wonder if the brains were divvied up unevenly before birth, doesn’t it? If one has the looks and one doesn’t, but they’re twins, who wins? Perhaps the only true winner here is Mom, who can simply walk into another room and escape the whole sibling rivalry showdown.
Have You No Faith?
It’s hard to feel like you can’t trust your partner. However, if you have these feelings it’s important to bring them up to your partner. No matter how worried you are, going through someone’s personal belongings is never the answer. This boyfriend has every right to be mad that his partner did this.
What they should have done was discuss why this happened, and what can be done in the future so nobody’s trust is violated. Rewarding this type of behavior is only going to reinforce it. If you ask us, this is the beginning of the end unless this couple really wants to work out their problems and become stronger.
The Cleanest Mouth in the Eatery
It’s not great for the planet, but a lot of restaurants often provide wet wipes for people. This way, if you’re too nasty to wash your hands, you at least have a wet baby wipe. They’re mostly for peace of mind and most definitely not for eating. Nobody informed this person’s poor misinformed sister.
She was squeezing soap onto her food for years! Surprisingly, she’s seemingly fine, or at least, that’s what we hope. But still, that doesn’t make it alright. You’d think someone would’ve spotted her doing that if they were regulars at the Colonel’s favorite place to eat. We guess none of those eleven herbs and spices were enough to mask that soap taste!
Date Shaming Is Not Okay
So a guy asked you out and you’re on a wholesome burger date, what’s so wrong with that? This lady clearly thought it was ok to shame her date for ordering water for the table, instead of paying for fancier drinks. Not only did she claim her date was “broke” but she even dared to take a picture of the water on the table! The irony of it is, that she is very happy to let this man pay for the date and not even offer to split.
Another commenter got involved and brought up a very valid point. If this woman couldn’t afford to pay for her meal, she should just be thankful that someone else is happy to pay for it for her. If she wants a soda or alcoholic beverage next time, perhaps she should offer to pay!
Cheating Isn’t A Personality Trait
It’s hard to find that special someone. Some people get stressed that they’re running out of time, and end up settling. They’ll settle for someone even if there are major issues at hand. We hope this man knows that he doesn’t need to accept being cheated on because it’s a part of his wife’s identity.
If you can’t be in a monogamous relationship, that’s okay, but both parties need to agree to it. It sounds like this man is afraid of being alone, and we don’t blame him. Accepting that his wife cheats is one thing, but including her lover in the wedding photos is another. Was it too much to ask that he at least got wedding photos without his wife’s lover present?
May Only Have Eyes For You
There are a few actors in the movie industry that everyone can agree are undeniably beautiful. Two of those actors include Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, also known as Barbie and Ken. While you can’t deny his good looks, it seems a bit over the top to replace your couple’s picture with an image of Ryan Gosling. We have to admit we would be pretty upset, but this boyfriend took it like a champ.
However, when he made one comment about Margot Robbie, his girlfriend went nuts. We can all agree that our jaws dropped when we saw the Aussie actress playing Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street, in fact, it’s a very natural reaction! This girlfriend needs to take things down a notch, she’s the one who started it!
Putting The Little People Out Of Pocket
Local restaurants tend to have a much greater problem in staying cash flow positive without the financial backing of investors and other giants in the hospitality industry. Especially after COVID, there has been a push to support local restaurants, and UberEats spent millions on a campaign asking popular celebrities to tell their fans to order from their local spots. But it turns out that UberEats are also guilty of not helping these places!
When people order in from their local restaurant via UberEats, they take a whopping 30% of the final charge! Instead of spending money on a campaign to tell people to eat local, perhaps they should spend that extra money on lowering their fees?!
