We're all out here in this big wide world blundering through and trying not to make complete and total fools of ourselves. But for some, that's easier said than done. Here are some people who have a long and awkward conversation in their future as they try to justify whatever nonsense is going on.
All of these definitely could've been avoided. I mean, it doesn't take much hindsight to know that staging a hiking trip in the backyard for an Instagram photo is very cringey. These people better clear their afternoons because we'd like to have a word.
She Took A Hike For An Instagram Photo... In The Backyard
Twitter user @carlysos3 exposed her Instagram influencer sister with this tweet that read, "my sister said she was going hiking.....this is our backyard."

The Free Year-Old Mattress That Must've Had One Awful Year

This year-old freebie must've seen some stuff.
This Person Crowdfunding A Divorce For A Friend
People will crowdfund everything today, but it's rare we get to see the idea in the works.
This vague asker just wants to know what it's like begging for money for a personal problem that's totally not for her. Why would you even assume that?
We Need To Talk About This Early Guillotine—Excuse Me, Early Seatbelt Design
So, the first designer of the seatbelt was a certified executioner, just saying.

This Thief Was A Bad Tipper Even With Stolen Money
Most people, no matter how immoral they are, know that the ultimate karmic snub is to leave a bad tip for a hardworking waitress.

... It's Also Good For Back Tattoos
So, this person definitely didn't get the memo that we've decided as a collective that we're done with living, laughing, and loving.

This Breakup That People Thought Was A Milestone Moment
A lesson we should all learn at some point in life is that there are places that you just don't break up with people in.

This Feuding Mom And Vet
This mom decided she was going to apply the body positive movement to her own dog, and we applaud her for her loving approach to pet-parenting.

This guy needs to chill out, though. She didn't want to selfie with you, guy.
This Guy Was Banned From A Bar, And When He Went Back 30 Years Later...
Don't even freaking think about it Dennis. When you're given a lifetime ban, that's it.
There are only elephants working at this North Dakota bar and pal, they'll never forget the time you snuck in and threw a pint glass through the men's washroom mirror.
Solid effort, but I'm not sure this dodge is gonna work.
That's why you need to be careful with social media. Your parents are probably following you, so if you're not comfortable showing them, don't post it, right?
Or just be crafty and make a quick recovery with your Sprite bottle, even if it isn't the same material.
This Girlfriend Who Graciously Let Her Boyfriend Wear His Jacket

Personally, I'd start packing the minute they used the winky face on me.
She Was Wearing A Diaper But This Guy Was The Real Stinker
It seems like Facebook was originally designed as a dating app, and apparently some people are sticking to the gospel and using it just like that.

This Mom Who Tried To Dodge Jail By Impersonating Her 21-Year-Old Daughter

Do not, I repeat, do not go taking every morsel of advice the internet gives you because there are certified card-carrying psychopaths on there giving you "pro tips" that will make you vomit.

Why Are People On Planes Like This?
Planes are basically lawless. However, that doesn't mean that you get to go on a plane and start acting like an animal.

Were People Trying To Eat These? We're Scared.
Signs are put up for a reason—we've all seen the "wash your hands" ones.
So when an earplug supplier puts up the sign "earplugs not candy" we're wondering who the poor sap was that ate them first. Just curious.
She Cheated Covertly—Too Bad She Posted It And It Went Viral
Pro tip: don't use mayonnaise as milk and don't cheat on a test then post about it on the internet.
This cheater wouldn't make it very far in the MI6 and definitely didn't make it too far in this class.
These Enormous Jeans Require No Justification
This isn't an awkward situation. In fact, it's a situation where the poster walked away with an absolute win.
Look at the pockets on those JNCOs, the grace he's wearing them with, and the wide-legged glory. No regrets here.
This Grandma Who Gave Some Covert Advice
The biggest mistake someone can ever make is underestimating the power of a grandma.

This Sign That Welcomes Everybody, Including Instagram Models
A "VSCO girl," for those of us blissfully out of the loop, is an Instagram influencer except she wears scrunchies. That's it.
But apparently, she wasn't welcome in gay-straight-alliance clubs in school before now. That's growth, Charlie.
This Person Who's Ready To Try The Diet Fad
You ever heard of the "egg diet"? I did it once and it involved eating roughly 6 eggs a day.
It's not sustainable, but it's a thing because we'll try most stuff. This guy though, he'll try anything.
He Just Was Taking A Nap
I definitely would have had a heart attack if I walked into a store and saw a little puppy all covered in red.
I'm so thankful the little guy was just a greedy jam lover.
Remy, What About You Restaurant?
My favorite thing about New Yorkers is their unwavering ability to just accept whatever chaos they see on the street.
A passed out rat with a bottle on the sidewalk is just part of a morning commute.
I Am Also Interested
Now that I've seen the continents outlined in the shape of a cat, I can't unsee it.
I don't care if this person is trying to start a cult: I'm in.
You Were Thinking Of "Hobo"
Oh, to be a child trying to figure out the world around me, engaging in yet another classic case of misunderstanding what someone is saying on the playground.
Honestly, this is one of the funniest things I've ever read.
This Is Only Kind Of Creepy
I'm honestly just trying to picture an acquaintance entering their home for a dinner party or something only to see a pair of detached legs on the couch and the hosts having to explain why they have them.
However, this cat deserves literally anything they want. So if it means getting a fake lap, you get a fake lap.

Confused as to what this cow is wearing and why? It turns out that adorable earmuffs are often made for calves to keep their ears from getting frostbite.
The strap in the middle helps keep the whole thing in place.

Okay, but imagine being this police officer and having to call into the station for help because you have crashed your patrol car while under attack by a predatory bird.
Dispatch was probably laughing the whole time.
Autocorrect Has Done It Again
Autocorrect doesn't want anyone to succeed in life; in fact, I'd posit that it often does more harm than good.
Jon was just trying to get to know a girl, and now she thinks he's a jerk.
