7 Social Media Facepalms You Should Never Repeat

By Scion Social Social Media Marketing November 21, 2014

Social media is a great way to express yourself, but some people take it a little too far.

When scrolling through your feeds, you’ll probably find, shall we say, “inadvisable” posts here and there. These horrific social media fails can ultimately backfire by drawing unwanted attention from friends and strangers alike.

We rounded up seven epic social media facepalms you should never, ever repeat. And yes, they’re real.

1. Sharing a pic of your cool new credit card

This is a big mistake — unless you want the whole world to know your credit card number. (The same goes for your street address, phone number, etc.)
2. Posting about your boss
Come on, now. Shouldn’t this be common knowledge? Even if you aren’t Facebook friends with your boss, your comments can always get back to him.
3. Instagramming your new misspelled tattoo
Getting inked with a misspelled Nicholas Sparks quote is one thing. Posting it on Instagram and pretending you meant for it to be spelled wrong is another.
4. Sharing funeral selfies
Most selfies are harmless, but taking them at inappropriate times can cross the line.
5. Posting your drunk adventures
Chronicling your life while hammered doesn’t seem like a smart move.
6. Lying with hashtags
This young woman gives a whole different meaning to au naturale.
7. Posting false information
Janice should have checked her facts before posting.
