While social media provides us with wonderful experiences, it also has particular negatives. People can make misleading remarks on the internet since it is difficult to challenge them in the privacy of their own homes. The amusing persons online help reveal fraudulent people on social media, allowing us to construct a list of those who were discovered lying too early! Internet liars, beware: we are tracking you down!
Who Took The Photo?
Because of the #couplegoals hashtag, many couples appear to want to show off their great relationships on social media. Many social media connections are met with mistrust, while others are met with understanding. However, certain awkward photographs deserve public attention, as one exhausted couple discovered.
Someone pointed out that the posted photo of them both “asleep” had to be taken by a bug because it appeared implausible.
A Platonic Girlfriend
In this world, you might be one of two types: an old romantic who enjoys seeing love in the air, or someone who dislikes people flaunting their love lives all over the internet. So when this person tried to dazzle his followers with a little white lie, someone in the comments area was clearly not satisfied.
The guy pretended to take a photo of his girlfriend, but someone dug further and revealed in the comments that the photograph was clearly not of his girlfriend.
Selfie Time
This guy attempted to pull off one of the oldest tricks on the internet, but people have seen too many of them. As he lied down trying to find the perfect angle, he did his best to convince his followers.
But what he hadn’t noticed was that someone else was there, who caught him taking a selfie at a weird angle. They then went on to take a picture of him, and later found out that the guy was actually trying to make it seem like he was at the beach.
Posting By Mistake
We all probably know someone who has posted a picture of them or someone else “accidentally” on social media. If not, then we most probably know someone who posted a picture with the caption: “Feeling cute might delete later”. Still, the lie doesn’t fly as easily as it used to, so when this girl posted a picture of herself “by accident”, one of her social media friends was sure to make things very clear.
They claimed that there is literally a five-step process in order to post a photo on social media, so there’s no way that was a mistake.
The Reflection Says It All
First of all, it is completely beyond our understanding why anyone would lie about being stuck in traffic. Second, if you are going to lie about being stuck in traffic, then you ought to do it well. But this guy didn’t get the memo and ended up failing terribly in his lie.
He took the selfie at the worst possible angle since the reflection in his glasses exposed him to all of his friends online. Thanks to his shades, we are able to see that there isn’t one car or person in sight.
A Broken Record
It’s a harsh world, and with the constant “perfectness” on social media platforms, sometimes we just want to feel cool and valued. Unfortunately, though, some people forget to do their research before orchestrating big lies, all they want is to feel better about themselves.
After all, a lie here and there seems harmless until someone notices that something in the story doesn’t add up. This guy was proud to have completed a 5k run in just 10 minutes, but his friend Cal was quick to point out that the world record in a 5k run was 12 minutes.
Not Studying For Finals
This student made sure to tell everyone that he wasn’t up for studying for finals that year. And though finals can be a total pain, we all know that not studying for them can be a terrible mistake.
Still, one student shared on his social media page that he wasn’t even going to try that year, but instantly regretted it. One of his classmates who was coincidently sitting right next to him made sure to clarify things to the rest of his friends.
Couldn’t Get Out Of Bed
The “I woke up like this trend” might not be as impressive for many people on social media, as we all know that tons of people did not “wake up like that”. Take this girl for example. Though we are posed with dozens of selfies every day on our social media home pages, this one stood out.
She claimed that she couldn’t get out of bed that morning, which alluded to the fact that she woke up looking that fabulous. But Dan-El Superbeasto made sure to point out the fact that she was wearing perfect makeup.
The Intentions Were Good
These days, many people get away with made-up stories about celebrities. In fact, there is an entire industry that thrives from it, so this person thought, why not do it myself? When this guy decided to share a fake story about encountering Harry Styles at a tigers game and getting $100 from him, he was discredited by the celebrity himself.
The musician commented: “I wasn’t at the tiger game, cool story though”. And we have to admit, though being caught lying must have hurt, getting a comment from Harry styles was probably worth it.
Truth Always Wins
Facebook and Instagram are full of entertaining quizzes. Some of these tests include testing one’s knowledge, which can go both ways, they either prove we are very knowledgeable or totally make us feel dumb.
This girl found the perfect opportunity to play a quiz that tested her IQ and decided to share the result with her family and friends. Unfortunately, though, she should have checked before sharing to see if the test would rat her out, which it did.
Favorite Picture
Here’s the thing, people can be really savage on social media. So before posting a lie, you might want to think twice about the consequences of being caught. This guy, for example, decided to share a picture with his hands in his eyes. He obviously thought he looked cute, so he posted it.
But in order to justify the hands covering his eyes, he wrote that the sun was on his face. An observant friend quickly realized that he wasn’t exactly telling the truth. She asked him: “If the sun was in your eyes, then why is your shadow in front of you”, Busted!
