40+ TIMES PEOPLE POSTED INSANE THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

The internet is pretty much a never-ending stream of peoples’ deepest innermost thoughts. And we’re not here to judge, but sometimes we see something that’s so wild, it makes us do a double-take.

We often spend so much time online that we think nothing can truly phase us anymore, but here are some truly bonkers tweets showing us that maybe sometimes it’s best not to post our every thought on social media.

Read the Room

We have no words for this guy. We’re totally here for people sharing their inspirational stories of recovery and bravery online. It can be a beautiful chance for social media to really bring people together and lift each other up.

But in this guy’s case, some things are better left unsaid. His opinion was probably not wanted by these girls and it's totally inappropriate. Read the room, buddy!

Special Treatment

Pregnancy cravings can be intense on another level. Sometimes it can feel like the whole world’s going to end if you don’t get that snack you’re desperate for.

We hate to break it to you, but even pregnant people usually don’t get special treatment in coffee shops just because they’re pregnant. Throwing a drink at your baristas is probably not the way to go either—if you’re that thirsty, why not make a coffee at home?

Leave Joaquin Alone

They say you should never meet your heroes, though some people might not agree. It’s practically rule number one of “meeting celebrity etiquette” that you shouldn’t take sneaky pictures of celebs while they’re going about their day.

But we think one thing we can all agree on, is that meeting your favorite movie star and then watching them go to the bathroom is absolutely not cool. He looks totally uncomfortable in all of these pics!

Single Lady

People have been known to fall in love in the most unexpected of circumstances. And there’s usually a right place and right time to shoot your shot, but this is one situation that’s definitely not it.

Give her a chance to grieve, buddy! A memorial post for someone’s boyfriend after only a few days is probably not the best place to slide in the DM’s. We can certainly see why this guy is still single.

The Celeb Web

The drama that comes from celebrities’ love lives is almost never-ending. They say you’re never more than six connections away from Kevin Bacon, but this theory proves that pretty much all celebrities are intertwined somehow.

We could spend hours reading this chart analyzing the connections between celebs we never even knew dated each other and the person’s wife who made the chart is clearly the expert we didn't know we needed.

Call the Police

One of the reasons people love Twitter so much is that it allows us to interact with our favorite celebrities and internet personalities in a cool and personal way. And while that can be great, it can also lead to some super unwanted interactions.

Even the most public of celebrities wouldn’t want people taking stalkerish pictures of them and sending them their way. All jokes aside, this is one of the creepier posts we’ve seen on Twitter.

This Pet Sucks

On today’s episode of animals you simply should not have as pets, we have Princess the Leech. This takes “doing anything for your pet” way too far.

No matter how hard they try to make this leech seem like a completely normal pet, the fact still remains that leeches are literally parasites. Although we have to admit that the bow does make it look cuter than normal.

Treat Yourself

Sometimes it can be really encouraging to get support from people on the internet. This person tried really hard to be supportive, and they’ve got the spirit, but not much else.

While we’re always in favor of celebrating the little victories, there are much healthier and more appropriate ways to celebrate. This isn’t quite the same as allowing yourself to have a “cheat day” when you’re on a diet, folks.

Where There’s a Will...

Who remembers those days when people would send each other terrifying jump scare videos all across social media? We hated those with a passion.

It sounds like this person’s grandma wasn’t a horror fan at all, and it was all an elaborate scheme to hurry Nana to an early grave. We’re thinking they might not feature in the will at all if this phase keeps going.

Real Girlfriend

Tattoos can be a very personal thing. They often have emotional, sentimental, or beautifully intricate meanings. Other times, they’re just something people decide to get on a whim. Either way, they’re there for good.

Getting an internet gamer’s face tattooed on you permanently might not be the smartest idea, and his girlfriend can’t have been too happy, but maybe she’s just relieved that it’s not her face inked on his body forever.

Losing Our Rinds

We have no idea what a “mama ghost” is, but she seems like a very cool and non-judgmental lady, especially since this is one of the weirder requests we’ve ever heard.

Who in the world eats the white part of a watermelon, and actually prefers it over the red, juicy deliciousness inside? This deeply upsets us. At least less of the watermelon goes to waste when you eat with this guy.

Hit the Brakes

Learning how to drive can be tough. There are so many things to think about while you’re in control of a vehicle so there’s no doubt it can get confusing.

You’ve got a lot of choices to make as a driver, but choosing how many feet to use is certainly not one of them. Someone, please warn this girl that driving with your legs crossed can be seriously dangerous!

Chewy Boyfriend

To be honest, we can kind of see the appeal of a chew toy for humans. Chewing gum is normal, after all, and sometimes it’s just nice to chew on something. But usually, it’s food related, and not a literal human being.

This is an admission that not even the most intense interrogation could have gotten out of us. There must be so many other, less insane ways to relieve stress, surely?

E-Girl is E-Gone

Have you ever gotten a tattoo that you later came to regret? If you have, then you’re definitely not alone. This guy really had his crush’s username tattooed permanently on his arm, only to get ghosted by his internet love.

This is a whole new level of simping and now he has to carry a constant reminder of the time he was ghosted on the internet for all to see.

Doctor, Doctor

Some stories are so wild that it makes you wonder if they could possibly be real. While we’re not totally confident that this one actually happened, we’re mostly just hoping it’s not true.

What’s next—performing surgery on yourself because the surgeon went to the bathroom? We shouldn’t have to be the ones to tell you this, but giving yourself a vaccine is definitely not advised.

Sorry, Not Sorry

It seems like Demi Lovato really has something out there for everyone. Some people would say her music is a great stress reliever and others would say literally chewing on her photo is better than any song.

It’s honestly harmless, so why should we be the ones to tell them to stop? This might be an opportunity for them to learn some healthier coping methods to deal with going through a hard time.

Snap Stalker

Having a crush can make you act in crazy ways. Does anyone remember the days of being able to see who your Snapchat friends were messaging the most? We’re honestly glad they got rid of that feature because it definitely caused some drama.

What happened to just talking to people you liked? Stalking someone’s internet habits is probably not the most effective way of getting someone’s interest.

Oh Baby!

The number one rule of social media is not to believe everything you read. The reason you didn’t see this happening in any season of Grey’s Anatomy is because it totally doesn’t happen.

We know that hamsters sometimes eat their babies, but that’s a whole different phenomenon, and people are not hamsters. Whether this was supposed to be a joke or an insult to new moms, it’s just total nonsense.

Very Rare

We know that “raw” diets are all the rage right now, but this girl is taking eating raw to a whole new level. If you think this looks delicious, please don’t try this at home.

You can’t go wrong with some homemade salad and vegetables, but chicken is not like fish—you definitely shouldn’t be eating it raw. That’s a one-way ticket to salmonella.

Anime Expert

If there’s one thing people on the internet love to do, it’s gatekeep. Speaking more than one language is an impressive feat that not everyone can do, which is probably why some people are surprised to learn that English isn’t someone’s mother tongue.

Are they trying to say that saying “Yes ma’am” sounds American? Because you definitely can’t tell someone’s pronunciation from typed words and watching anime definitely doesn’t make you an expert in analyzing people online.

Rock Salt and Rice

We’re not sure about you, but we’ve never considered the kind of damage a shotgun full of salt could do. Thankfully, the internet has covered literally every kind of issue known to man, and people have more niche knowledge than you might think.

This answer makes us wonder what kind of chaos is going on behind the scenes at Disney World. But if anyone’s gonna have insider knowledge about how to deal with shotgun wounds, it’s their security officer, right?

Not A Good Match

What is it with these people chewing things and destroying other peoples’ property? We’ve all had an intrusive thought or two, but most of the time we keep them inside and don’t go around setting other peoples’ things alight out of boredom.

If this girl started a bonfire out of our poster collection, we probably wouldn’t want to see her again either.

Berry Weird

Boredom strikes us all in very different ways. The pandemic was a challenging time for everyone, mostly because people had a little too much time on their hands.

While everyone in the world seemed to be making TikToks and baking bread, this guy answered a burning question that we didn’t even know we had. Despite being kind of uncomfortable to look at, shaving a strawberry is just harmless fun.

Straight to Hospital

Once people get an idea in their head, it can be hard to stop them. And some people really have too much time and not enough brain cells to realize that drinking the contents of a snow globe is probably not a smart move.

We could’ve told this person that this was a bad idea. At least they tried it out so that no one else has to do this experiment now.

Swiftly Moving On

Women are so much more than just their fertility. And Taylor Swift, one of the most successful female artists of all time, is definitely focusing on other things right now, like the new 20 songs she just released.

We assume this person meant this comment as a compliment, but they really missed the mark. We promise you, Taylor is the only one who needs to be worried about when or if she’s having kids anytime soon. Thanks, sweetie.

Imaginary Broken Heart

There was an era on the internet where people loved to post their turbulent relationship updates, all in the hopes of getting reactions and attention. We all remember the days of the “It’s Complicated” status on Facebook.

This person shared that they were going through a breakup from an imaginary girlfriend, and hey—at least they owned up to it. Even fake heartbreak hurts too.

Jew-ish

Religion is a topic that can definitely divide people. It has for generations, and unless you’re an expert, there are often a lot of unanswered questions.

There’s also something funny about adding -ish to the end of words. You know, like sluggish, moreish, and we did always wonder why the religion was called “Jewish” in the first place. But we’re not sure Thaddeus King got this one quite right.

Body Positive

We’re all about people posting their achievements on social media because there’s nothing quite like the feeling of strangers hyping you up.

The original poster took to the internet to share her proud moment, reaching a fitness milestone she’d never achieved before. And it sounds like this woman is a little confused—what could be more body positive than achieving your goals and feeling healthy?

We Vote That You're Wrong

We all know what they say about assuming things. People can be so quick to make huge assumptions sometimes but just because you see one thing, that doesn’t always automatically mean it means something else.

For this Texan, it looks like they added one and one to make four because they automatically assumed that wifi in the booth means there’s voting fraud going on. Not everything is a conspiracy theory, folks!

Crust Frustration

There’s a whole movement out there of serious pizza crust haters. We get it—sometimes the crust is dry and not tasty compared to the rest of the pizza.

But the base isn’t the crust, silly! If you’re only going to eat the cheese and sauce, there’s not much point in having a pizza in the first place. You might as well put a spoonful of sauce on a handful of cheese and call it a day.

Alarming Behavior

We all know the relief of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing that there are still a couple of hours left until your alarm goes off. Going back to sleep afterward is one of the best feelings ever.

Setting multiple alarms in the middle of the night just to enjoy going back to sleep is a little strange if you’re living alone, but doing it with a partner—especially an insomniac—is a whole different story.

Really Phony

Everyone probably has one or two stories of times they did things they regretted in high school. Whether it’s who you dated, how you treated other people, or even your stealing habits.

Even all these years later, it’s great to get closure and own up to your wrongdoings—but a confession like this is something we probably wouldn’t admit for all the internet to see.

Oh Gnaw

This is an official PSA to please stop chewing on things that aren’t food. There is an endless supply of delicious and interesting snacks out there that surely we don’t have to resort to chewing on pieces of wood for nutrition.

Maybe this person has a point and they’re doing important research. Perhaps we should be more concerned that the materials houses are built from are so easy to gnaw through.

Save Our Sandwiches

Whether you prefer to cut your sandwiches diagonally, horizontally, or just eat them whole, there’s obviously no written rule book about the right way to go.

That being said, we do know with full confidence that this person must have known just how distressing it was to see a sandwich eaten this way. Why not cut it in half the regular way instead of gnawing on it side to side?

Relationship Trap

Relationship advice is always a little confusing. Some would say you should fight for the ones you love, while others say if you love someone, you should let them go.

This person seems to have forgotten that a relationship is a two-way street, and if someone is not interested, it's probably because things aren't working between the pair. Trapping someone by having a kid is not the healthiest relationship advice we’ve ever heard.

Fast Tracks

The vast amount of music out there means there’s a song or a playlist perfect for every occasion, so it would be almost impossible to get through them all. But it’s not a race!

One thing’s for sure—artists definitely don’t pour their hearts and souls into their music so you can skip through it in half the time. We’ve never even thought about listening to music at two or even three times the speed. What's the point?

Drink Up

Going to Disney World is never a cheap vacation. Some of those drinks and snacks can really add up, but that doesn’t mean you should turn to other more dangerous means to quench your thirst.

We’re glad they clarified that this practice happened before there was a global pandemic because it sounds like they’d never do this nowadays. We're thankful for that.

Strange People Among Us

The days of quarantine had us finding new and unexpected ways to connect with those around us. One trend that took the world by storm was Among Us, which had people finding “sus” references to the game everywhere they looked.

This person has a fantastic attitude to life—what a great lesson to always find something good in the bad. We’re not sure it was so necessary to post this one online.

Popcorn Vacuum

We’ve always wondered what happens with all the leftover popcorn that lands on the ground during cinema movies. And thankfully, it turns out this person has an answer.

Movie theater popcorn is so expensive these days that we’re surprised people leave any behind. We’re thinking this person probably doesn’t work in this theater anymore because they got caught being a human vacuum by snacking on strangers’ leftover dirty popcorn.

Hairy Situation

Collecting hair is a pretty niche hobby, but who are we to judge? The place you choose to store your hairballs is, after all, no one else's business.

This gives reusing and recycling a whole new meaning. We can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want to treasure this statue, so we’re glad they found a practical new use for it. It’s totally not creepy at all.

Copy + Tooth Paste

We almost have no words for this one. Modified keyboards are supposed to help you type faster, but even regular keyboards have the letters on each key for a reason—so that the slowest of typers can see exactly what they’re typing.

We really wish we could go back to a time before we had to see this. At least something is smiling while they’re typing because we certainly are not.

Sink Your Teeth In

It’s so wholesome when the internet brings like-minded people together over things they have in common. Things take a more sinister turn, however, when people bond over their weird habits. This trend of chewing objects really has to stop. When people say a book is so good you can sink your teeth into it, this is really really not what they meant.

Rat Revealed

We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t tried chewing on a little paper once or twice, just out of pure curiosity. It's not a regular habit, though, mostly because the nutritional content of paper is probably not particularly high.

Imagine being responsible for the downfall of your father’s film career all because a mysterious rodent couldn’t resist taking bites from his scripts. There are so many better nutritious snacks to choose from, folks!

Cursed Pancake

Now, we’re not really here to gatekeep anyone’s food habits, especially if they’re eating real foods—because that’s more than we can say for some of these posts.

Sometimes the middle of the pancake is where you get the most syrup, so we kind of get it. But why not just eat the whole thing in pieces like everyone else? It’s pretty wasteful to go from the middle outwards and leave the pancake “crusts”—it all tastes the same!

Relationship Breakdown

People love to post their cute and wholesome relationship content on social media. After all, it’s the perfect place to share your happiness with the world, but you can’t always guarantee you’ll get a good reaction from others.

Some people really let their jealousy shine—way to bring down the happy couple, bro! They certainly didn’t ask for such a backhanded and low-key sinister statistical breakdown of how likely their relationship was to end.

Now I’ve Told Zayn

When you’re going through a tough time in your relationship, it’s always reassuring to go to the ones you love for advice. Whether that’s your mom, your best friend, or in some cases—your favorite singing superstar.

The joys of social media mean you can send messages to pretty much whoever you want, though there’s no guarantee that they’ll reply or even see it. But who knows? Maybe Zayn came through with some life-changing advice.

Oh No Baby

Heteronormative relationships are anything but easy. Women’s bad experiences with men can often give them some pretty strong opinions about the male gender as a whole. Once you’ve been hurt by one guy, it’s easy to feel hurt by all men everywhere.

But there are hot takes, and then there’s this. This kind of procedure happens at such an early age so it’s not so painful and this girl clearly has a strong vengeance for all men—even the newborn ones.

Rotten Friends

We all have those friends that are always trying to prank us or make us do crazy things just because it’s funny. But you have to wonder whether this person wanted an innocent laugh or really wanted to mess their pal up.

They got super lucky on this occasion and we’re genuinely surprised they didn’t get sick from tucking into rotten raw meat. Gross! All we can say is please do not try this at home.

Facebook Oversharer

One of the most fun parts about social media is that people can interact with posts from whoever they feel like. If you like what you see, it’s perfectly reasonable to react or leave a comment.

Apparently, this guy really liked what he saw. And while maybe he doesn’t understand the concept of oversharing, this jealous boyfriend could also probably find something else to do with his time before calling out every guy who likes his girlfriend’s pictures.

Morning Rituals

Whether it’s good for us or not, the first thing we do in the morning is check our texts, emails, and social media pages. How else are we meant to know what we missed during the night?

This sounds way more enjoyable than immediately getting on our knees. But hey, to each their own—if you want to start your day by showing your deep respect and gratitude for a man, all the more power to you.

Upgrade Please

This might just be the worst way to introduce a new girlfriend ever. Does she know what her new man is posting about her online? If someone called us a downgrade, we’d quickly move on to someone that actually appreciated us.

It sounds like this guy’s problems with his last girlfriend are much more about him than her. If we were his new girl, we'd run!

Written in the Stars

Some people believe that your astrological placements, and the time you were born, really affect the way you are as a person. But how much can we really control about our babies before they're even born?

Debating whether you’ll like your child based on their star sign is really sad. A fire-sign mom and an earth-sign baby are obviously not going to have the best relationship, right? Thinking like this sounds exhausting.
