20 Awkward Moments Of People Not Realizing Who They're Talking To

The internet is a big place. There is seldom a person out there who doesn't have some sort of social media account. Maybe not everyone is super active online, but they are at least lurking around. You can never predict who is going to see your posts online, and what gets put online stays online forever. With sites like Twitter allowing people to respond to what is put out, the door is opened for many potentially awkward encounters.

You have to be careful when posting something you claim is true. Fact-checking is important because there's always the possibility that the person you are talking about could see your post. The person you're targeting might just have a little more info than you do, or they may actually be the person you're talking about. It's embarrassing and somewhat humbling when it happens, but it's especially funny when someone doesn't recognize a popular celebrity or another big name, humiliating themselves for all to see. Reddit's /r/dontyouknowwhoiam is full of these awkward moments. Here are 20 images of people not realizing who they're talking about or to.

Minimum Wage

Robert Reich @RBReich. 5h Why did we all bust our as*es getting Democrats elected to the presidency and in control of both houses of Congress if they can't do a simple thing like raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour? 1,464 15,922 29.5K Lorissa Ceroni @loris_ceroni. 5h Maybe you should run for office and make it happen instead of Twitter raging. Just a thought. 12 224 Robert Reich @RBReich 149 ... Bill Clinton put me in charge of getting the minimum wage increased in 1996, and despite the fact that the Senate and House were both under Republican control, we did it. Maybe you should join me in Twitter raging right now.

Explaining Addiction to a Psychologist

rippcurlz. 3 days ago addiction/dependency 403 is a little more complicated than that. Reply Share ... Alleline 3 days ago 1441 OP. 3 days ago Actually it is not. Masturbate for the first time in your life. Your dopamine levels will spike the sky. Now do it 2 more times and your dopamine will get higher and higher. Next day do the same thing and the day after for a week or two. Your mind will get addicted to the action and you'll start getting cravings. Boom, you're officially addicted after 2-3 months of masturbation 3-4 times a day. -110 Reply Share rippcurlz. 3 days ago I've been a doctor of psychology almost 20 years, including many years doing substance abuse counseling. at university, i specialized in SUD and did original research into SUD and comorbid PTSD in combat veterans. i spent the first 8 years of my professional career solely working in both high-intensity outpatient and inpatient roles at Resurgence rehab in LA. i also have about 17 different certificates in various substance abuse counseling subspecialties.
