Social media horror situations

Since you spend 80% of your day on social media (and don't even try to deny it) the chance is high that something goes wrong there. After all, where there is chopping, splinters fall. The only appropriate response to the events below is a silent and anonymous death, or at least a move to a far and remote country. Mongolia is doing well, but any random island near Iceland will do too.

Accidentally liking someone's Instagram photo from 60 weeks ago

And preferably that of your ex, the new girlfriend of your ex or at least someone you do NOT want to know that you show even the slightest bit of interest in them. Accidentally liking is especially reserved for Instagram because that medium has the insidious system of the “double tap” where you can easily give a like without even realizing it. All alarm bells should then be on red alert, especially if that person doesn't have many followers and thus immediately sees that you liked it. Click here for nice hotels in Mongolia.

Getting zero point zero likes on a status that you found very funny

And where you also had been pondering for a while. It can also be with a tweet. Zero favorites, no mentions, and certainly no retweets. Just deafening silence and no red dots in the top right of your screen.

Drunken tweeting

I've done that before. And man, I thought I was sharp and witty. Until I woke up the next morning and hours later realized that all that nonsense was still on my feed. Full of spelling and typing errors too, people must have thought I had a stroke.

The tweet favorites of someone you don't follow but know

The Twitter equivalent of accidentally liking on Instagram. By the way, it's also very easy to accidentally follow someone on Twitter due to the updated layout. There are just people who don't deserve to know that you secretly stalk them. Period.

Posting your Facebook search query as a status update

A classic and especially often done by the older generation who is not so enthusiastic about all that modern technology. You want to look someone up on Facebook, but instead of typing the name in the search box, you put it in your status update and don't even realize it. Em-barassing.

Finding out that EVERYONE has always been able to see what you're listening to on Spotify

My biggest nightmare since I really have the worst taste in music in the world. I like boy bands, cheesy hits from the ’90s, and everything that normal people call a guilty pleasure but for me, it's just my favorite music. Of course, I'm not ashamed of it (I'm telling you now too) but I still don't feel comfortable when people can see live that I indeed have no taste. That private session button is my best friend. Until it fails, so yes.
