This Online Group Showcases People Who Pretend They Didn’t Deliberately Do Something And Here’s 30 Of The Most Cringeworthy Examples
It can be pretty tempting to jump to lying after, for example, texting your crush goes horribly wrong. "Omg, my friend stole my phone and sent you that message as a joke, that totally wasn't me. I would never say that, lol."
But there's only so much bending a narrative can take. Overdo it, and you're exposed. Plus, people aren't as gullible as we might think.
And I have the perfect subreddit to back up these claims. It's called r/OopsDidntMeanTo and the pictures its members share expose all kinds of "accidents."
From bringing a Labrador to a meeting with a dog-phobic person to buying a Range Rover, here are some of the most ridiculous ones. If these situations won't prove to you that it's better to just accept your embarrassment than run away from it, nothing will.

Oops Putin Didn't Mean To
Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., a psychologist at the University of Virginia, said that lying is simply a condition of life. In her research she found that both men and women lie in approximately a fifth of their social exchanges lasting 10 or more minutes. And over the course of a week, we deceive about 30 percent of people we have one on one interactions with.
There are, however, some differences between the sexes. Women are more likely to tell altruistic lies to avoid hurting other people’s feelings, and men are more likely to lie about themselves. De Paulo discovered that men lie more often to impress. Consider this: a typical conversation between two guys contains about eight times as many self-oriented lies as it does lies about others.

What A Tragedy

Oh I hate when that happens *hair flip*. I tried to dye my hair darker because it was a bit straw-like, and it turned to gold. Poor me. Married to the king, feeling cute, might lose baby to an imp guy later, idk 💋 Kisses!
Of course, not all lies are harmful. In fact, sometimes lying is the best approach for protecting privacy and ourselves and others from malice. Some deception, such as boasting and lies in the name of tact and politeness, for example, can also be classified as less than serious.
But bald-faced lies (whether they involve leaving out the truth or putting in something false), are harmful, as they corrode trust and intimacy—the glue of society. No wonder these people got shamed for it!

Because the Dutch police desperately needed to prove that they're not completely useless with a record of 75% of unsolved crimes.

I don't know how old Sarah is, but she's not a child... to call herself Ibrahim from Afghanistan with her profile pic right there shows that she's not a genius, but I hope she got a huge fine or something that will make her use what brain she has in the future. I wonder why she thought it would be funny in the first place.

I used to work security at a stadium and people would joke from time to time about having explosives in their bags. They weren’t laughing much when they got hauled down to the police office in the basement.

Same at an international airport I worked at for a couple of years. Passengers who's bags were checked at security would joke upon finishing with the safety check: "haha, you missed the bomb!" Held up lots of departing flights for further investigation. No, they were not allowed on the flight anymore - but all of their already checked in and loaded luggage had to be removed from the plane. Stupid people!

When your phone really takes a picture by accident its not a perfectly posed flattering picture its usually a close up of your nose or ear or something 😂
V Martinez 3 years ago
And for the pics of the phone/camera "falling", wouldn't the pics, or some of them, come out blurry? Or do they take these amazing pics while they are moving? (Not the video or slow panoramic pics.) I'm not up to speed with the photo tech and what it can/can't do.

Man I do not understand people who think they have to lie to post pics. "I look nice" "Damn I have a fine ass" Be f*****g proud of it, you'll seem SIGNIFICANTLY less vain if you're just honest about it.

My son (then 7y) once accidently published photos of his pumpkins as introductory photos on a map for an office in the neighbourhood. Gave him my phone to take the pictures and when I got the phone back, I noticed what he managed to do. I hope the place managed to remove the pictures. I was really glad, that I never take any nudes. :-)
