17 stories about how ill-considered posts on the Internet can spoil life

Many people who publish another post in a social network do not think that other people can perceive it in their own way, and this will lead to unpleasant consequences. This can be seen by reading the real stories of people who have encountered such a situation.

Social networks can be considered an open diary, where, in fact, a person can write anything, but it should be understood that others read it, and written text can offend and offend. As an example, there are several situations where fasting in social networks had a negative impact on a person's reputation and even ruined his career. Yes, and this also happens.

1. Violation of the working subordination

Actor Charlie Sheen is known for his scandalous behavior, which he shows on his social networking page. In 2011, he wrote a post in which he insulted the producer of the series "Two and a Half Men", in which he was at that time involved in one of the main roles. Shin called him a clown, and this did not go unnoticed, as the actor was quickly fired from the project. I wonder if Charlie was sorry if one word lost the filming that made him at that time the highest-paid actor of the series.

2. At work - no social networks

Suffer from their posts in social networks, not only public, but also ordinary people. An example is the story of a 19-year-old teacher from Arizona. While working in the kindergarten, she took a photo on the background of the children's dressing room, showing her middle finger. She signed the picture like this: "I swear, I love children." Friends cheered such a post, but the police did not appreciate the humor. As a result, a teacher was brought up to understand whether she had published photos of her pupils in the network without the permission of her parents. The kindergarten management also reacted to the post and dismissed the teacher, arguing that during working hours it is necessary to pay attention to the children, not the telephone.

3. Unsuccessful football humor

On the official page of the Moscow football club "Spartak" on Twitter was published a video in which the defender of the team shoots colleagues from Brazil, performing exercises in training. The video sequence is accompanied by the phrase "See how the chocolates melt in the sun." After a short time, the post was removed, and the club's management brought an official apology for the unsuccessful statement. Negative consequences of the club still caught up - many major publications and the air force television channel published on their websites devastating articles in which they accused Spartak of racism.

4. Forbidden word - "n-word"

In America, given the negative attitude towards racism, a euphemism was invented - "n-word", which is used in situations when one of the public people offends against African Americans. Such situations in most cases do not remain without public attention. So, in 2013, American presenter and chef Paul Dean, due to frequent use of Twitter of that same n-word, was deprived of its own culinary show, despite numerous apologies.

5. The joke that cost the work

In 2009, after a successful interview with Cisco, American Connor Riley on the page in the social network wanted to share with all this news. As a result, she posted the post: "Cisco offered me a job! Now we will have to assess whether the fat wages of the long road in San Jose and the hated work cost. " Apparently, the girl did not think that her other employees could read her post, until she saw a comment under him: "It is necessary to convey your words to the person who conducted the interview, he will obviously be glad to know that you already hate the work you have received." As a result, Connor never became a Cisco employee. Here I want to say: if you do not know how to joke, it's better not to try to do it.

6. Failed political thoughts

Often because of their posts in social networks, politicians suffer as well. For example, two German politicians Beatriz von Storch and Alice Weidel, who repeatedly used Islamophobic statements in their posts: they called the Muslim population "gangster" and "barbarian". As a result, special authorities opened an investigation into this matter, and even women face serious fine and administrative punishment.

7. Racist scandal in the fashion world

Ulyana Sergeenko sent invitations to her show at the Fashion Week in Paris, one of which went to her friend Miroslava Dume. The girl in her "story" showed this invitation, which was signed by the phrase from the song Kanye West and Jay Zee: "To My Niggas in Paris". Many users insulted this inscription, and they accused women of racism. The Duma immediately removed the post, and posted an apology on its page. The same did the designer Ulyana Sergeenko, explaining that this is just a quote from her favorite song, without any subtext. This did not help to avoid the consequences: Miroslava Duma was excluded from the board of directors of her created edition for moms The Tot, and the new collection of Ulyana Sergeenko was not covered in many fashionable foreign publications.

8. Humor, which is really out of place

Comedy actor Gilbert Gottfried on his page published a series of tweets in which he played a joke on the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The jokes did not last long, since an hour after his publication he was fired from the public transnational organization Aflac Duck.

In addition, Aflac Duck donated $ 1.2 million to eliminate the effects of the earthquake.

9. Destructive echoes of the past

The British model of Pakistani origin Amen Khan had an incredible opportunity - to become the first model in the hijab, which would be the face of the company L'Oreal.

10. Fatal accident

All this time he was married and at the same time corresponded with other women, sending them his erotic photos.

This ended his political career Wiener, and ahead of him were waiting for legal proceedings, as it turned out, for correspondence with schoolgirls.

11. Accusations of plagiarism with consequences

In 2016, on her Twitter page, American hip-hop performer Asilia Banks wrote a post in which she accused a Pakistani-born singer Zane Malik in plagiarism, but she could not resist and went about his race. All this had negative consequences for the singer: for some time her account was blocked, Banks was expelled from the program of the music festival Born And Bred in London, and the number of those wishing to attend her performances also decreased, which affected the singer's earnings.

12. Danger of spoilers

13. The situation when your humor is not appreciated

The famous supermodel Gigi Hadid in February 2017, while visiting a Chinese restaurant, shot a video that seemed completely harmless to her. On it, she brought the cookies in the shape of the Buddha's head to her face and copied it, screwing up her eyes. The video liked her younger sister Bella, who also put it on Twitter. As a result, a wave of discontent arose, and people accused her of racism. Gigi apologized for a long time, but the joke still had its consequences: the models did not give a Chinese visa, so she could not take part in the next Victoria's Secret show, which was held in Shanghai.

14. Anonymity does not help to escape

Jofi Joseph worked in the National Security Council of America and, apparently, he got bored.

The authorities took two years to identify the perpetrator, who was fired with a huge scandal.

15. Personal photos - not for general review

Many are convinced that the profile in the social network is a personal photo album, so they fill it with different photos from everyday life. Special attention deserves pictures of social workers. So, a few years ago the public outraged photos of a teacher from Colorado, where she smokes marijuana. It is clear that the very next day she signed an application for dismissal. There are examples when expelled from work and for more innocent pictures, for example, a similar situation occurred with Ashley Payne, who posted a photo on the Internet where she had a glass of wine in one hand and a glass of beer in the other.

16. With the president, jokes are bad

Screenwriter of the show Saturday Night Live, which is very popular in America, Cathy Rich, on her tweet wrote a post about the president's son, where she mentioned that he would have to become the "first home school shooter". By this she meant that Barron Trump would not be able to normally exist in society and go to school. The post caused negative public opinion, even for Trump's opponents. Cathy removed the tweet and apologized, but it did not help, and she was fired from NBC.

Very quickly the video responded to representatives of Apple, who asked to remove the video, and the man had to write an explanatory letter and apologize for the act of his daughter. Unfortunately, this did not help, and as a result, he was fired for violating corporate rules of the company.
