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
Lauren Caswell 3 years ago (edited)
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!

What do guys think girls get out of sending nudes? Something back? Yeah we really want to see your naked mole rat, phone charger wrapped around your velvet purse and extra chins from a terrible angle. No thanks.

Classy, the first thing he asks is for her to send nudes. It's easy to see why girls have bad impressions of men.

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 😂

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. :-)

People seem to be incredibly narcissistic and attention seeking these days, it’s really off-putting. Still…if that makes them happy, more power to them but their constant need to lie is a little disturbing

I think the only time I accidentally took an unwanted photo on my phone is when some idiot decided to cross my line-of-sight while I was trying to photograph something I want.
