13 People Who Realized They Made a Mistake but Shared It Online Anyways

We’re so used to be able to use tools like spellcheck to make sure that our texts, emails, and other documents are clean before we hit send.

It might not matter all that much if your phone autocorrects something weird or you say something dumb and can’t get it back if you’re talking to a friend (although they can still tease you forever), but it can feel disastrous when it happens in a professional context.

And these 13 people probably wish there was a good way to recall these messages before they were read and recorded for all posterity… but who cares! It’s the internet. Let’s share that sh^t!

13. Maybe they didn’t have to tell the WHOLE truth.

I can’t believe people don’t believe this stuff is dangerous.

That is a very friendly text, tho!

11. Some kind of ride.

That’s a fun story!

7. When you realize what OP meant but you already posted.

Ohhhhhh. I get it.

I would probably die… but also because these didn’t happen to me, they’re also hilarious.
