  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Or how about that guy watching a hockey game alone without his friends and was trying to fit in and feel good with other people by cheering with everyone. He jumped up to raise his hands like everyone and instead smacked the back of the head of the person in front of him and ten rows of people who all knew each other looked at him like some kind of idiot. After that whenever a cheer started, a dozen people looked over at him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.

That's another cringey person I can think of.

Both examples are the exceptions that prove the general rule. Nobody remember the time someone had their fly open and only one person noticed, or when they said the wrong thing snd everyone moved on.

We only rememeber the over the top fuckups or people making a huge scene.

I dunno, there was that one person in the last shot of Teen Wolf who had their fly open and then it spawns decades worth of articles. I don't think anyone noticed at the time, but now lots of people have remembered it
