15 Awkward Posts That Keep The Term 'Facepalm' Relevant Today

When was the last time someone said the word "facepalm"? Odds are, you haven't heard it in what feels like a long decade. It's been a very difficult couple of years, and we can't remember the simpler times when people used to use the term facepalm freely. But once upon a time, before the world began to consist of mostly cringe we've come to accept on a daily basis, we used to say it quite a lot. It would express our disappointment and disapproval of the things we see around us, whether that be bad behavior or bad social media posts.
From secondhand embarrassment to just idiotic ideas we don't know how else to react to, facepalming is still a reasonable reaction, believe it or not. Whether it's a tweet that's painful to read or a basic misunderstanding gone too far, things can get uncomfortable quickly, and it's clear that even today the term still has relevance. Here are some interactions so awkward or unintelligent they'll make you want to facepalm.
