We live in a very convenient world filled with state-of-the-art technology that is designed to make our lives a hell of a lot easier. But sometimes these tricky little devices can backfire on people, especially if they’re up to no good. And that’s exactly what happened to the boyfriend of NFL correspondent Jane Slater.
Slater took to Twitter to tell a scandalous story about her one-time boyfriend who got her a Fitbit for Christmas one year so they could get in shape together. Slater said, “I loved it. We synched up, motivated each other… didn’t hate it until he was unaccounted for at 4 am and his physical activity levels were spiking on the app, wish the story wasn’t real.”
An Ex Boyfriend once got me a Fitbit for Christmas. I loved it. We synched up, motivated each other… didn’t hate it until he was unaccounted for at 4am and his physical activity levels were spiking on the app 🥴wish the story wasn’t real. https://t.co/npRkLJYYz0

Slater added, “Spoiler alert: he was not enrolled in an OrangeTheory class at 4 am.”
And her tales of heartbreak didn’t end there. Slater said on Twitter, “I also had a guy get drunk and bring another girl home forgetting I was spending the night there. We were set to go to church the next morning and I stayed in to get sleep. I could write a book.”
Maybe she should write a book, huh?
My girlfriend once said “one day we will laugh about this” as I sobbed uncontrollably in the car. I have now many times bahahahah

Other folks online sympathized with Slater and had a sense of humor about her situation.

Because why not laugh?
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, let me present to you the timeline of events:
Fitbit, 4am: normal levels
Fitbit, 4:01am: increased heart rate, extreme wrist activity
Fitbit, 4:03am: normal levels
I rest my case.https://t.co/BJscWB4bEM

And, on top of that, other people had similar stories…
I knew someone who was talking to her boyfriend on her phone when her husband and daughter pulled to her job to pick her up and her phone connected to the car Bluetooth and they heard enough of the conversation to know what she was up to

Uh huh.
I know a guy who was driving through a shopping district and got caught at a light near a hotel. His wife had his phone checking movie times for a nearby theater. As his car came to stop at the red light, his phone automatically connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi.

For REALS!
Heard on a local radio show the other day, a woman was reading a restaraunt review, and the writer included a photo from inside. The reader saw her husband with another woman in the photo, and confessed when she confronted him later. Thought that was about as unique as it can get
