Photos That People Should’ve Looked At A Little Longer Before Posting

A good rule of thumb for posting anything online is to never post anything when you're mad, something you wouldn't say in front of your grandmother, and any photo that looks... questionable. But sometimes people don't give the photo the extra three seconds it needs for them to figure out if they should post it or not and we get these gems.

These people are out here stunting for social media and it's all kinds of cringe. So buckle in and make sure your hand is at the ready because you're going to be doing some major facepalming at these.

She outdid herself with the caption too, which reads, "Lol bae caught me slippin. Love him. Goodnight from us." Goodnight you two.
