We've probably ALL made a social media mishap of sorts: you share something you shouldn't; you get caught out stalking an ex; you post a totally ill-advised image.

But hey – it always could be worse.

Recently, BuzzFeed asked its readers to share with the US-based website their worst online errors: and here at SHEmazing! we just had to pick-out the nine best ones – if nothing else, let these be a lesson to us all.

Prepare to cringe…

 

1) I went on two dates with a girl I liked. I decided to stalk her family on social media in the middle of the night and I accidentally added her mother as a friend.

Her mother accepted.

2) You know how Ron Burgundy says, “Well that escalated quickly”? In the sixth grade I accidentally posted on my sister’s Instagram photo “Well that ejaculated quickly.” I’ve never been more embarrassed.

3) Once when I was talking to a guy in private messages I got my screens mixed up and announced to EVERYONE on Facebook how large my penis is and what I like to do sexually. My mother saw it. I stayed off Facebook for a month solid.

4) A girl I know was once trying to drunk Facebook-stalk her boyfriend’s ex. She woke up in the morning to find that instead of searching the girl’s name she’d just made it her status over and over again. They broke up.

5) Not my fail per se, but my mother “accidentally” Facebook friended the woman my ex-boyfriend married. She accepted. I’m mortified.

6) When I first made a Facebook, I saw where you can post a status, I thought this meant relationship status…. So my first Facebook post was the word “single”.

7) When I was in high school, a very popular teacher got arrested for having multiple affairs with some of my classmates, and the day she got arrested I went to search for her name but instead set it as my status.

I didn’t realise my mistake until I was called in to the principal’s office and was asked if I knew specific details about the ordeal.

8) I stalked my co-worker’s Instagram and went through every photo. Next week, she went private and I asked her about it at work. She gave me a weird look and said “I don’t remember telling you about my Instagram”.

9) About a year ago I was Snapchatting this super cute guy I had just started talking to. I had just sent something to the guy when I got a Snapchat from my best friend saying she was eating chocolate chip cookies.

So naturally, I made the most hideous, obnoxious face I could and the caption said “soft or hard?” because I prefer the soft kind and she prefers the crunchy kind. I clicked the name at the top of my friends list and hit send when I realized to my horror I had sent it to the cute guy.

Picture that, you open a Snapchat from a girl you’re talking to and its just the most obnoxious picture that’s captioned “soft or hard?” I wanted to explain but I realised I didn’t have his number…

While her big sister Kim Kardashian might be queen of Instagram – Kylie Jenner is definitely the reigning leader over all things Snapchat: she has the world's most viewed account.

And while she's been cautious about flaunting her relationship with boyfriend Tyga before she turned 18 earlier this month, the duo are definitely going all out with their PDAs in the aftermath.

So understandably – fans have been waiting in earnest for the couple's first Snapchat official embrace. Indeed, yesterday rumour was abound that they'd FINALLY taken the plunge.

However, sadly on further inspection, the video which sparked the discussion is not entirely as it seems.

Shared with her millions of fans yesterday, in the short clip the reality TV star can be seen locked in a tight hug – with her arms wrapped around the other party's neck; they holding on tight to her waist. 

The video appears to have been taken in a plush bathroom – likely one at Kylie's €2.2m mansion, which is located near the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner abodes in California's upmarket Calabasas area.

The red cap of the featured individual, as well as their slim physique and shorter height, suggested that it was indeed Tyga – but a closer look reveals it is actually a female friend.

For example, Ms Jenner's companion sports long, polished nails (NOT Tyga's usual style). The pair are also captured laughing and giggling together, and by the end Kylie murmurs: "My wig's gonna fall off!"

Comments online confirm the speculation, with many fans concluding that the friend in question is in fact Anastasia Karanikolaou – better known as Stassie. 

She is part of the Jenner sisters' inner squad, and recently accompanied them to Mexico to mark Kylie's 18th birthday.

During the holiday, she even borrowed momager Kris Jenner's famous retro pink swimsuit – which was given a new lease of life when Kylie was snapped wearing it on the beach.

The youngest Jenner and Tyga have supposedly been dating for more than a year – certainly they have been inseparable since she celebrated her 17th birthday back in August 2014.

This evening at his official residence in the Phoenix Park, President Michael D Higgins signed off the Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Bill 2015.

This means that the result of May's historic referendum has now been enshrined in law.

A number of legal challenges brought against the result meant tonight's signing was delayed somewhat, but all the disputes were struck down at earlier High Court hearings.

The Irish people had voted by a margin of 62-38 percent and marriage in this country may now take place between two persons "without distinction as to their sex".

The Bill will also be introduced to the Dáil next month.

Although it was originally hoped that the first marriages between same-sex partners could take place as early as next month or October, it seems more likely now that those ceremonies will be held towards the end of this year.

When Meath native Denise O'Reilly came upon a €20 note with a seriously romantic note scribbled on it, she had no idea who the owner was.

Denise posted a photo of the sweet love note on Facebook, hoping it would lead to some answers… and maybe a happy memory or two for the guy the message was meant for. Her post got over 16,000 shares and almost 3,000 likes, and eventually word reached the right ears,

Found this is my Purse this morning!!! Ah Christy She s you!!!!! Go get ur girl!!!!! Come on people and share!!!

Posted by Denise O'Reilly on Sunday, 23 August 2015

But in reality, the story's ending is not quite as happy as we'd hoped. 

Irish musician Christy Leech got in touch with the Anton Savage Show on Today FM to explain the backstory to the €20 note, which was meant for him but sadly never made it into his hands.

Here's what he had to say:

"Megan was the name I used to call my ex girlfriend. We went out for a year and a half. The name arose from when I misheard her name and thought she was Megan for our first week of dating. Then it stuck.

I'm a musician and while we were going out, I wrote her a song called 'It’s always been you.'

We broke up, she met someone new. After I saw the 20euro note on a FB post, I called her. She told me she had written it on a note she used to pay into one of my gigs about 6 months ago. I didn't know she was there. She told me she thought I'd get the cash directly but I obviously didn't. She took it that I didn't want to talk.

 So, now we're in touch again but the situation is quite different."

This sounds like a real life version of Noah and Allie in The Notebook… we seriously hope these two give things another go!

Rugby legend Paul O'Connell said goodbye to the Aviva Stadium for the last time today, as he played his final game on Irish soil.

It may have been a disappointing 10-16 defeat to a strong Welsh side for Ireland, but spirits were still high as Paul was given a hero's farewell by the crowds of fans. The Irish number 5 even led his young son Paddy onto the pitch, holding him up to wave to the thousands crowding the stands.

Fans have been taking to social media in their droves to pay tribute to the Irish captain, and we're getting a little teary eyed saying our goodbyes…

Of course Paul's rugby career isn't quote over yet, as he has the Rugby World Cup ahead, with Ireland's first game against Canada taking place on September 19th.

"The fans have been incredible for us and throughout my career. I've had an amazing time. Hopefully they can add to it at the World Cup. There will be a lot of Irish people at the Irish games. Hopefully we can give them a better performance than that," Paul said today after conceding defeat to Wales.

Thanks for the memories, Paul!

In what has to be the most short-lived 'rumoured relationship' of all time, Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger have reportedly called off their burgeoning romance.

The pair apparently went on a series of dates over the last couple of months, growing close after Nicole confessed that Ed's music had helped her get over her seven-year relationship with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.

Unfortunately it seems the 13-year age gap between Ed and Nicole apparently got in the way of a serious relationship, with a friend saying the fling is now "old news."

Whispers of a flirty romance began back in July when the Ed invited the Pussycat Dolls singer to watch his Wembley Stadium show from side stage. The pair even posed together for an Instagram snap that night, which Nicole posted with the caption, "Okay okay you win @edsheeran, you’re taller."

Two weeks later Nicole made her own subtle advance while performing at a gig in Hollywood, openly dedicating a song in her set to the singer. And of course who can forget their Suffolk pub date in Ed's local watering hole, The Station Hotel?

Speaking to The Sun earlier this month, a friend of Ed's said the pair were pretty much an item despite keeping their romance under wraps. "As far as he’s concerned they're in the early stages of dating and he’s been open about it with close friends and colleagues. It may not develop beyond those dates but they’re definitely tight."

Despite their ill-fated romance, the pair reportedly remain on "good terms." Phew!

Once payday comes around, the Brown Thomas cosmetics counter becomes a place of irresistible temptation. Rewind ten years and it was the same story, except we were blowing our pocket money in Boots and the local pound shop.

After all, how could you have faced the local GAA disco without a thick layer of baby blue eyeshadow and green glitter gel eyeliner? 

Here are just a few of the items no self-respecting Noughties teen was ever seen without…

1. Scented body glitter
Roll-on, of course. Mainly used on the cheeks, plus the collarbone if you wanted to feel *sexy*

 

2. Coloured hair mascara
The actual purpose of this still eludes us, but by God if we weren't going to collect every shade.

 

3. Two-tone purple eyeshadow palettes
They had the lilac AND the violet, y'see. Looking back, we probably looked like we had two black eyes, but at the time we felt FLY.

 

4. Perfumed body spray
You could always rely on Santa to give you a Charlie Red or So! gift set.

 

5. Sun-In
Back before we'd ever heard the words 'professional colourist.'

 

6. Tommy Girl perfume
For occasions that required something more sophisticated than body spray, Tommy Girl was our go-to scent.

 

7. A GIANT eyeshadow set
'Cos surely that was what real make-up artists used?

 

8. Juicy Tubes lipgloss
Sophie's Choice: go for an everyday baby pink or risk spending everything on the bright red one?

 

9. Urban Decay glitter gel eyeliner
To go with your lilac eyeshadow, obvz.

The next season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians could be down one sister, if things go to plan for Kourtney.

The mum-of-three is reportedly looking for a way out the eleventh season of her family's long-running reality show, and she's even hired lawyers to help her look for a loophole in her watertight four-year contract with the E! network.

The entire family signed on for at least three more seasons back in February, but after splitting from Scott Disick two months ago, Kourtney is keen to regain control of her private life.

Even if she ends up staying on board, the eldest Kardashian sister has apparently said she'll refuse to film if Scott remains working on the show. Producers had understandably planned for the former couple's split to be a major Season 11 storyline, but if Kourtney gets her way their break-up will be cut from the new series altogether.

"They basically have to choose between keeping Scott on and having her continue on. She does not want to talk about the breakup on the show … she is not willing to compromise on this," a source tells The Hollywood Gossip.

Kourtney might be keen to take herself out of the TV spotlight, but she's been sharing more personal insights on social media of late, including a rare snap of her youngest son, eight-month-old Reign, last night:

 

Serious.

While Kourtney herself has yet to address the rumours she might be quitting, a KUWTK insider has since claimed that the reports are "false."

We certainly hope so, because the show would be nothing without Kourt's hilarious IDGAF attitude:

After calling off their engagement earlier this summer, actress Emma Roberts and her fiancé Evan Peters are giving things another go.

The on-off couple were spotted putting the past behind them and getting dinner together at sushi spot Katsuya in West Hollywood earlier this week, sources tell Us Weekly.

Emma and Evan first met on the set of American Horror Story back in 2012, and they are both set to appear in the upcoming AHS: Hotel too.

Being back on set together has obviously brought back some of that lost spark, as an insider confirms the two are indeed "seeing each other."

The couple got engaged together in December 2013, but their relationship was not without its problems. In July 2013, Emma was taken into police custody after getting into a physical fight with Evan at a hotel in Montreal.

Officers were called to investigate reports of a disturbance in the couple's hotel room, and arrested Emma when they found Evan with obvious injuries including a bloody nose. However the actress was released from custody hours later after her boyfriend refused to press charges.

At the time a source claimed that the Scream Queens actress often got "wound up" during arguments.

"When they are good, they are crazy in love," the insider said, with a second source adding: "Their romance is pretty extreme. They just behave in a way that's very passionate."

Whether Emma and Evan's engagement is back on remains to be seen, but we hope they are taking things slow for now.

Kylie Jenner shocked no-one last year when she finally came clean about getting artificial lip fillers to plump up her pout, and it seems she's gone back for more.

Two separate Instagram posts over the last week have shown Kylie's lips looking bigger than ever, leading fans to wonder if the notoriously glamourous reality star has finally gone to far in her quest for the perfect pout.

 

A video posted by King Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

The 18-year-old posted a video today of herself dancing while wearing a bright blue bobbed wig, accessorising her vibrant hairstyle with a heavily painted dark nude pout. Her bottom lip in particular appears plumper than usual, which fans were quick to note in the comments.

"Your lips are ridiculous," wrote one follower, with another adding, "Your lips are starting to look weird."

Another photo posted earlier in the week shows a pouting Kylie alongside her sister Kim, boyfriend Tyga and brother-in-law Kanye West. Again her noticeably bigger bottom lip is visible:

Speaking earlier in the year about the decision to have her pout enhanced, Kylie had no time for those who said she had made the wrong choice. "I have temporary lip fillers, it's just an insecurity of mine and it's what I wanted to do," she told the cameras on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Of course, Kylie's not the only one whose lips made headlines this week. Her big sister Kim took to Instagram while on holidays in St Barts to show off her "pregnancy lips". Who knew THAT was a thing?

We'll probably never be as content with life as baby Ethan is in this video.

Mum Gina Gardner first posted this video back in 2004, but it's gone viral again this week and we HAD to share it with you. Gina came upon her three-year-old daughter Emily and 18-month-old son Ethan calmly painting themselves in peanut butter, and luckily for us she had her camera on hand to capture the moment.

While Ethan looks hilarious enough as it is, it's his reaction to being caught out that really had us laughing:

You can watch the full video here… prepare to fall in love with Ethan the Peanut Butter Monster.

The writers at AskMen must be feeling a bit guilty today… at least we hope so.

An article posted by the site came under fire yesterday for claiming that "curves are out" and "thin is in." The piece in question referenced an international academic study which stated that "both men and women consistently rate women with lower body fat and BMI as more attractive."

And the skinnier, the better, it seems. "Realistically there is a point at which people deem someone too skinny, but it’s well south of the average American’s BMI."

To conclude, no more curves because "a little extra cushion for the pushin’ may have been ideal a few thousand years ago, but now we recognise that child-bearing hips aren’t worth much if she’s going to keel over from a heart attack a year from now."

Ouch.

As is to be expected, the article caused a storm on Twitter, with women (and men) everywhere calling out AskMen for sexism and plain rudeness:

Whether they're "in" or not, we still LOVE our curves.
