Facebook friends making you facepalm?

Take a screenshot and post it here!


NEW! We've changed the rules about posts! We will be removing Facebook wins, which should be posted to /r/facebookwins. We will also be removing posts about like whores and posts about misused memes.


Rules:

  • Completely black out all personal info. This includes but is not limited to profile pictures (including your own), first and last names, links to other profiles, location data, and anything else that could be personally identifiable.
  • Do not post links to profiles or any other personal info. This will get you banned immediately.
  • No facebook albums with images of the poster.
  • No posts about memes being used incorrectly or like whores.
  • No posts that qualify as /r/facebookwins material.
  • If you break a rule, your post or comment will be removed, and you will be PMed with a warning. After two warnings, your next offense will get you banned.
  • Self posting is turned on for meta discussion only.
  • Example of a perfect post: http://i.imgur.com/MlywX.png

It's generally a good idea to color code different people in the conversation to make the submission flow better!

If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it and consider sending a message to the mods (you can do that here) explaining which post you reported and why.

Abusive and/or malicious content will be removed. A user posting such content may be banned. A banned user may appeal to the moderators; a majority vote of moderators can overturn a ban. The vote is final.

I see no facepalms here.

[–]antoine_chekov 58 points59 points ago

Posting stuff like this here is like misusing memes

[–]thedarklordkyp 27 points28 points ago

So, the facepalm is that its on the wrong subreddit?

Meta-facepalm?

[–]LinkCreedZ 3 points4 points ago

I'll help the guy out because I'm at the man moment./r/facebookwins

[–]WhipIash 0 points1 point ago

Except for the comment. I'd've?

[–]AGiantMoth 7 points8 points ago

If one stupid words warrants a facepalm then that makes me sad

[–]WhipIash 1 point2 points ago

*Three

[–]tubes2 1 point2 points ago

And yet, stories about children talking about mature subjects is perfectly acceptable here.

[–]itsonlyme- 5 points6 points ago

[–]Puninteresting 1 point2 points ago

That's a double contraction and is correct.

[–]bearsaremean 38 points39 points ago

TIL I'd've is a word

[–]hisjdmgirl 10 points11 points ago

I was wondering if it worked that way

[–]Pups_the_Jew 15 points16 points ago

My favorite is wouldn't've.

[–]hisjdmgirl 4 points5 points ago

That ones awesome. Im going to use it now!

[–]zinklesmesh 5 points6 points ago

One's'aw's'm

FTFY

[–]hisjdmgirl -1 points0 points ago

Oh thanks

[–]littlebrwnrobot 1 point2 points ago

I like y'all're. as in you all are. only works in the south though =(

[–]Maxables 6 points7 points ago

In the south, it's I'da!

[–]hadorsuf 5 points6 points ago

If I'da was in Denmark, we would call her Ida (a common woman's name)

[–]Evi1M4chine 3 points4 points ago

I don’t get why people always act like “that’s a word” and “that’s not a word”. That’s grossly misunderstanding the concept of a“word”.

Words are only symbols, to communicate meaning.

If most of the involved understand what was meant, the word has done its job. Which by definition makes it a word. No matter if it’s in any dictionary, or not.

Language is alive, and adapts. People from 100 years ago would also think, that we speak like wenches and tramps, if you know what I mean.

I’ve changed my view on many words, when I asked which one is more efficient, while still transporting the intended meaning.

In that regard, I find “I’d’ve” to actually be quite a nice contraction. Maybe it will some day even transform to just “Idve”, and we have a new word.

In any case, that new view makes me much more relaxed about the whole “corruption of our natural fluids language” subject.

Been there, done that... Followed by a very manly exit from the road & dismount. Then its "omg. Omg! OMG! Get it off! GET it off! GET IT OFF!" Said in a rising tone at an increasing pace. I also find that waving both hands around in the air while doing your own little peepee dance really helps gain the respect of the other riders with you.

[–]Jennynot -2 points-1 points ago

:D

[–]RedeemerJC 22 points23 points ago

i'd say this is more of a /r/facebookwins then /r/facepalm

[–]TheBingage 10 points11 points ago

Than

FTFY

[–]RedeemerJC 2 points3 points ago

god damn it

[–]gazpachian -1 points0 points ago

Nah, it's sequential. First post this to where it belongs, then post about this being posted here, here, for some additional meta karma.

[–]Jgib5328 4 points5 points ago

I feel slightly inspired by this. No facepalm for me.

[–]NovelTAcct 2 points3 points ago

It's not very often you come across an I'd've.

[–]dr00min 2 points3 points ago

If only it was a wasp.

[–]l0l_cabbage 2 points3 points ago

This belongs to /r/facebookwins

[–]Say_what_you_see 1 point2 points ago

Amazing

[–]aspankdmonkey 0 points1 point ago

My friends dad was in a situation like this, except it was a bee... and he dumped his bike.

[–]J4degrees 0 points1 point ago

That was not even remotely a face palm

[–]goody_71 0 points1 point ago

Is this like a meta facepalm? Like the facepalm is actually this post itself?

[–]XSKYSOLDIER 0 points1 point ago

I learned that you can have a double contraction and it look legit.

[–]Swagofthecentury 1 point2 points ago

Want to upvote...But in wrong subreddit...My feels are ripped asunder.

[–]silveridea 0 points1 point ago

I'd've /genius.

[–]dirtypaws 0 points1 point ago

This is actually pretty cool.

[–]palmytree 0 points1 point ago

What bothers me about this is the implication that he thinks the heliocentric model of the solar system involves the rotation of the universe.

[–]Lordodirections 1 point2 points ago

Someone should x-post this to hownottogiveafuck. In fact, I might do just that!

[–]creativebaconmayhem 0 points1 point ago

Chris Cornell had a bee sting him in the eye on the highway while on his motorcycle. Kinda makes this dude seem like a pussy.

[–]scott_free26 0 points1 point ago

Yeah you know what you can learn from him? Don't drive 90mph on a motorcycle.

[–]little_stereo 0 points1 point ago

Is it THAT hard to figure out the purpose of this subreddit? This shit happens daily.

[–]Saber8472 0 points1 point ago

As a rider that is an extremely uncomfortable situation.

A friend of mine put on a old helmet and went on a ride, kept itching for some reason, he was able to pull the mouth guard up and down to "scratch", eventually he stopped and looked inside it to find a fire-ant colony X_x.

[–]15rthughes 0 points1 point ago

Use that report button people, it's there for a reason.

[–]wildly_curious_1 4 points5 points ago

Why would you use it here? Report is for harassment/trolling/the like. If you don't like the OP, downvote!

[–]15rthughes 0 points1 point ago

Because the users were getting sick of all these non-facepalms, so the mods said if you see a non-facepalm, report it.

So yes I would use it here.

[–]I_am_an_oak 1 point2 points ago

i would say this needs a repost to r/motorcycles
