Today, after getting a new haircut, I decided to take a few photos. I set up my iPhone in my room and began posing. It wasn't until numerous shots later that I realized my phone had posted every picture to Facebook, and they were all over everyone's newsfeed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I posted a selfie on Instagram showing off my new haircut. However, I hadn't noticed that I'd forgot to switch back from my company's official Instagram account to my private account. The caption? "Feeling cute, might delete later." It stayed up for over an hour, and my future as a social media manager is up for debate. FML
Today, I took a picture of myself and put it on Facebook. After I did so, I realized that in the background, you can see my crush's Facebook page up on my laptop. He tagged himself. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to post a throwback photo of myself in high school on Facebook. I didn't realize I was still logged into my work account. Now all my colleagues and clients have seen my awkward teenage years, complete with braces, pimples, and an unfortunate haircut. FML
Today, as I sat on the toilet, I mistakenly took a screenshot and then proceeded to fumble my phone. It wasn't until 5 hours later when I recharged it that I realized I had unintentionally posted the screenshot of me on the toilet to Instagram. FML
Today, I came home from work and turned on the computer. I logged onto Facebook and saw I had a bunch of notifications. Turns out, everyone on Facebook knew I was single before I did. FML
Today, I was using the bathroom and checking Facebook on my phone. As I'm checking my newsfeed, I noticed a new photo upload by my brother. I guess I forgot to properly shut the door to the bathroom, because it's me on the toilet. FML
Today, I took multiple pictures of my blanket and pillow pet, trying to get the "perfect pose" so I could post it on Facebook with a cheesy joke. I'm 30. FML
Today, I uploaded what I thought were beautiful selfies. One of my "friends" commented, "I've seen what your whole body looks like, so that's why you take only headshots. You're not fooling anybody, fatty." His comment got 18 likes. I took down the photos and spent the rest of my afternoon in tears. FML
Today, I tried to take a cute selfie in front of a café window. I didn’t realize there were people inside, specifically the café staff, who were watching see me posing, pouting, and flipping my hair for a full two minutes. When I finally realised they were there, they gave me the thumbs up while imitating my poses. FML
Today, I was on the toilet, when my Mom thought it would be a fun idea to barge in, take a picture of me, post it on Facebook, and tag me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hopefully you were half naked and duckfacing, that would make it so much better.

Facebook doesn't automatically post them, it waits for you to validate the photos. Unless you're using some third party app other than Facebook. Then you're just dumb.

thank god for the 'delete' option! when in doubt, blame alcohol or friends. but next time, double check your settings! regardless, we all do it; you just got caught.

You didn't specify in which area you had your haircut... Specification is, sometimes, important...

Sounds like facebook business as usual.

Well, it's a new (and probably nice looking) haircut, not nudes, not that bad. A bit embarrassing, but it could have been worse.

Oh god... this is awful. I, personally, am in the verge of deleting Facebook. I'm starting to get obsessed with privacy everytime I'm on the internet. Usually, I have the Facebook open just to make sure it doesn't automatically, somehow, conects and updates whatever I'm checking somewhere else. And yes OP, please check and change your settings so it won't happen again.

That's the problem with technology!! When I had Facebook I was always worried about something like that happening since everything syncs nowadays!!

Wasn't that the point anyways? Anyone who takes a pic of their new hair cut with their Iphone is eventually going to upload it to FB anyway.

I'm really curious how many pictures ended up posting before you caught on considering a lot of girls have to take a dozen pictures before they even like one of them.
