People Who Instantly Regretted Posting on Social Media

You’ve probably been there. You posted something on social media and regretted it right away. Even though you a second earlier you thought it was really cool. But at least you’re not alone.

Here are some even worse examples of other people who instantly regretted posting on social media…

Don’t Post Your Credit Card Online

This › anonymous tweeter made a very bad decision when they decided to take a photo of their new credit card for social media.

And then they posted a follow-up tweet that made things even worse…

Definitely Don’t Do This

When asked for the numbers on the back of the card, the naive poster also provided the internet with their security code, meaning that anyone could make a purchase using this card.

A Big Nintendon’t

A very similar thing happened when one Nintendo fan tweeted to complain about having to type a code into their games console in order to access their new credit. This backfired, because by the time they’d gotten around to filling in the code, someone else had already claimed the digital purchase.

Rita Ora Gets Hacked

When Rita Ora tweeted out that 100,000 retweets would get her fans a new song release, people laughed. The tweet in question didn’t manage to gain anywhere near that much attention.

Ora later deleted the tweet and claimed that she’d been hacked, which, if true (and that’s a big “if”), is also a big social media mistake. Use secure passwords, people.
