Facebook: Land of Teh Awkwardz

| »

Via the HuffPo, comes some of the funniest, most uncomfortable and definitely most interesting Facebook “whoopsie”s of all time. You’d think, judging by some of these, that some people almost didn’t know that A) what you write is free to be seen by virtually anyone, and B) everyone already is on Facebook, so … Some of the best, below (be sure to check out the rest, too).

A New Problem at Work
Woman ranting about her “pervy wanker” boss and her “shit” job; boss responds, affirming that he’s gay, and fires her

I actually think this first one is unfair; regardless of whatever resentment may be between them, the girl was obviously just venting on her personal wall. I think it’s a bit petty to fire her for sharing a piece of her mind on her wall, which is what it’s supposed to be for, anyway.

No Sympathy
Girl says she’ll “be gone” (presumably suicide); jerk responds by criticizing her spelling

Classy.

Parent’s Divorce
Woman changes her status to “single”; son, surprised, asks if she and his dad had gotten divorced; she confirms

I detect a slight failure in communications, here.

Called Out
Girl whines about missing the “drop/add” date for her courses; guy chastises her about not being in class; girl claims she was at her grandma’s funeral; guy busts her lie, finding a status on her other account saying she was to be partying with her boyfriend for the week, thus missing her classes

From him being a jerk to her being a douche. (And him, no longer a jerk, need I point out.)

Following in Mom’s Footsteps
Guy proudly claims he’s gotten a job “following in [his mother’s] footsteps”; idiot friend insinuates he’s gonna be a prostitute like his mother; father angrily asks if “dead beat friend” just called his wife/boy-with-a-job’s mother a prostitute

Trouble brewing …

The Dry Spell is Over
Mother likes that son had sex, breaking a “dry spell”; son is horrified, mother tries to “unlike”

Again, be careful for two things: A) what you say on Facebook, and B) noobs, who most likely include your parents.

Publicly Announced Sex
Woman boasts about a great night of sex; is horrified that the post was public and desperately tries to hide it

Good for both laughing and voyeurs who can get satisfied off of mental images.

Finally, I leave with one that nearly had me split a rib, via Lamebook:

Home Work It!
A kid’s drawing of what appears to be his mother pole-dancing; mother explains to his teacher she was selling the last shovel to needy customers at Home Depot

Granted, this is possibly fake, but still a bucket of laughs.
