FATAL mistakes you've made on the internet.

Can also jump!
Well, i'm not sure how "Fatal" this would be, but curiosity got the best of me and I went and looked up "Insanity Wolf" in a Google Search. While some items that showed up amused me somewhat, a good number of them were just in bad taste.

Also involving Google Search, looking up "[Enter Franchise here] in Real Life" may or may not make you wish you hadn't...

I once viewed a thread on here that was asking a question about pokemon or something, and when I clicked the thread, nothing but gross porn images came up -.-

Ditto.

On other forums too.....

Errrr I don't know what some of you guys are talking about. Fatal? Tarutaru? Maybe I shouldn't know. Biggest mistake for me was letting those scammers from India claiming to be from Microsoft tech support access to my computer. They actually got as far as being able to move my mouse and start looking through my files before I cut it off. Luckily my computer was safe and all my files were intact. I don't keep any banking information on my computer so that's all safe. And I have a new computer now so its all good.

did that once, never will again. i did call the store i got my pc halfway thru their process, shut my PC off immediately when i found it was a scam. they called me as they lost connection and wanted me to reconnect them, i told them i was onto them and to bug off. whats worse they time it at deadzones ie weekend evenings when most support tech is closed. i had to reformat, cancel the credit card/paypal and abandon the email account.

they tried the same scam a few weeks later but i they got nowhere from that.


the title of the thread is very misleading.

Moreover my adamant nature has gotten me into a lot of things.

I say my biggest regret is looking into the Flight Rising "Abomination Threads."

I cannot unsee such things.

Leaving sppf was my fatal mistake because I can't be with all you cool peeps anymore (mostly Ellie tho).

'Sup!
A fatal mistake? Mines was assuming that common sense was thing on the internet.
 
Internet arguments mostly lol
Though I haven't had one in years.
 
Well, if i made a truly fatal mistake on the internet, I wouldn't be here typing this, would I?

Anyway, the dumbest thing I've ever done on the internet?
Reading Youtube comments lol.
 
When I was younger I spent over 120 euros on coins for a game so I could dress my avatar. T-T

Also, I used to post embarrasing selfies with the most random objects on instagram. (Things like fruit or even wrapping paper) I thought that was "swag". My friends still randomly bring it up in conversations like:"Hey remember when you used to post pics like that?" It was just a really weird period in my life, I don't know why I did that, I was like 12 xD.

Not fatal, just stupid mistakes.

Back in my minecraft days, I got into this massive month long fight with the mods of this server. Let's just say they were abusive and I called them out on it...

I gave up on online minecraft after that.

getting kicked off another forum for not following rules i didn't understand at the time. i learned that reading rules for any fourm is a good thing to do. another mistake i made was microwaving something with metal it in. didn't realize that metal isn't microwave compatible.

Word.
Leaving Serebii. What a crucial error.

Also looking up things on urban dictionary while my parents were in the room.

Also posting things to facebook in a state of alcohol-induced inhibition. But that one certainly isn't exclusive to me....

Eh, ragazzo!
I'm not going into details, but another website forum had a thread made by someone that seemingly accused me of "felonious behavior"[/let's just say].

It was due to a suggested submission I made for the main site. It was harmless in and of itself, but it was taken to a gratuitous extreme.

I notified a person in charge that sided with me and locked the thread and placed it elsewhere. Out of my request, I had my submission taken away to prevent further controversy.
