• From getting caught out pretending to sleep to ¬¬¬¬¬¬the bizarre phenomenon
of toilet selfies, we count ten unbelievable Snapchat fails!
10 – Bae Caught Me Sleeping, • Mirrors: they’re always lying in wait,
secretly plotting to sabotage perfectly good selfies.
As you can see, this guy knows all about the wrath of mirrors.
• For some reason, he elaborately staged this picture of himself catching a few Zs.
The caption reads: ‘Bae caught me sleeping’.
So clearly the subtext is ‘uh oh!
I was totally taking this innocent nap when “bae” – which is idiot for “my partner”
– came along and snapped this photo.
Oh well.
Don’t I look cute?’
Meanwhile the mirror in the room said ‘not on my watch, guy’ as it exposed him as the
level-five narcissist he is.
• Look, I really want to continue making fun of this guy, but I can’t help but be
impressed that he was able to take such a good photo with his toes.
There may be hope for him yet.
9 – Traffic Selfie, • No one likes getting stuck in traffic
– it’s the worst!
But at least these days when we’re stuck bumper-to-bumper we can the pass the time
on our smartphones.
• This guy thought he’d document how frustrating it is to be caught in traffic.
But in a surprise twist the reflection in his sunglasses exposed him as a big fat liar!
• Apparently this is pretty common.
I really don’t get why anyone would want to trick others into thinking they were stuck
in traffic.
Just tell the truth: you were driving around looking for friends.
It’s okay.
8 – Toilet Selfies, • For the longest time parents have been
teaching their kids that it’s good to share.
The lesson has finally sunk in, but now, in the digital age, it seems they now need to
teach them about the dangers of oversharing.
• Enter toilet selfies – the, err, hottest new Snapchat trend.
The idea here is to take a photo of yourself dropping cable and share it with the world.
Sounds like fun, right?
According to the tagline of one of the biggest toilet pic communities, ‘Doing poos does
not get the coverage it deserves.
We all do them, so share your poo face with the world!’
• Sigh.
You’re on a very slippery slope, human race… 7 – Snap of Shame,
• Nothing’s more terrifying than waking up after a crazy night of debauchery to find
a naked stranger in your bed.
Well, maybe waking up to said naked stranger in an unfamiliar bed is worse, but they’re
both pretty bad.
Either way you’re hungover as fuck and have to face the dreaded walk of shame.
• Several Snapchat users have decided that their awkward moments needed to be immortalised
and shared with the world.
They’ve captured that horrifying moment when daylight turns last night’s nine into
a three.
• And so begins the eternal tug of war between ‘Can’t wait to do it again next weekend!’
and ‘I’m never drinking again!’
6 – Sprung Selfie, • We’ve all taken sneaky selfies in public
when we think no one’s watching.
The key is to be discreet!
• As these images remind us it’s worth taking a second glance at your surroundings.
Because to a casual observer you look kind of dumb taking that selfie.
I mean, what’s with the head tilt and exaggerated pout.
• Besides we all know the unwritten law of the internet: if someone looks dumb in
public it’s our god-given right to make fun of them for it.
5 – The Cyrus Effect, • She came in like a wreeeeecking ball!
– and the internet still won’t shut about it.
Yep, Miley Cyrus has secured her place in pop culture history thanks to talents like…
shaking her butt and, err… licking things?
• Now, thanks to the magic of Snapchat, the whole world gets to enjoy endless streams
of Wrecking Ball parodies.
Thanks a lot, Miley!
• Guys, I don’t think this is what your girlfriends meant when they asked you to send
a sexy picture…
4 – Public Displays of Idiocy, • If nothing else, Snapchat is a great tool
for documenting human stupidity.
Take this girl, who clearly napped her way through Geography class if she confused the
iconic Big Ben clock tower with the London Eye.
• Then there are the many people who use Snapchat to document their bouts of temporary
insanity.
They probably thought no one but their close friends would see these.
Well, now they know never to mix red cordial and Snapchat.
3 – Wrong Person, • Snapchatters, accident or not – don’t
send any more dick pics to Grandma.
Her poor old heart can’t take it.
I’m kidding of course, but that sort of thing is a lot more common than you’d think.
• Sexy time in the digital age is a total minefield.
Many couples sext each other racy photos throughout the day to keep the spark alive, but it’s
ridiculously easy to send those very private shots to the wrong person.
• Accidental nudes are a great way to permanently alter your relationships with colleagues or
family members.
If you thought you pervy uncle leered at you before…
2 – Got Stuck, • We get all get a little stuck from time
to time.
Sometimes figuratively and, err, sometimes literally, as these screen-captured Snapchat
images prove.
• At least if these poor souls never manage to get free there’ll be photographic evidence
of what happened to them.
• Sometimes I really worry about people… 1 – Car Crash Selfie,
• Plenty of accidents have been caused by drivers texting, but Snapchatting behind the
wheel takes things to a whole new level of stupid.
• In 2015 a Brazilian woman and her partner crashed their car because they were trying
to take selfies at 110mph.
Amazingly they both survived after their vehicle rolled several times.
But the worst part?
The woman continued taking Snapchat selfies as they laid bleeding to death amongst the
wreckage.
‘Must… capture… drama… in case I live…’
• Looks like you have your priorities in order, lady…
