13 People Who Had No Idea Who They Were Talking To

It was possible to embarrass oneself back in the good old days. In person, you know – you might bump into a “someone” on the street and have an awkward interaction, in which you proved you had zero clue who you’d run into, but that was it. Over.

The only people to witness your embarrassment and any ensuing burns were the folks that happened to be in the near vicinity.

Now, with the internet? Your shame could be witnessed by hundreds. Thousands…more, depending on who you had no idea you were interacting with at any given moment.

Like these 13 poor people, who might never be the same.

3. That’s a weird thing to make an assumption about in this day and age.

And a really weird thing to get aggressive about, too.
