It’s become pretty common for people to sell the items they don’t need anymore through social media. In fact, there are even plenty of tools such as Facebook Marketplace to help you out. However, that doesn’t mean that everything about selling your stuff online is straightforward. It seems like this grandparent lost a battle with autocorrect and failed to find the backspace to correct his error. No worries – we understand the message he was aiming for!

When you jump online, there are plenty of conspiracy theories and scary-sounding headlines littering your social media feed. This grandparent decided to jump on the bandwagon. They did this with a rather ominous Facebook post that gave the world a pretty vague timeline. When someone commented asking her what we had six to eight weeks left until it happened, she said she didn’t know. Somehow, this made this the post all the eerier, though. What are we waiting for, Joan?

Social media groups are a great way to find people with common interests that you might not otherwise meet. You don’t need to be friends with them to join the group usually either. There are downsides to joining something like a Facebook group too. For instance, you might be like this grandparent and receive a high number of notifications related to the group. Like this person, we have to agree that our phones going off all the time at night does work to ruin your sleep schedule.

This post can only be described with two words: pure chaos. Well, at least they were trying to help each other, even if both the original poster and commenter ended up confused. Facebook has a way of sucking you in, even if you don’t necessarily want to be there. This grandparent just wanted to leave when they realized they had no idea how to log out of the social media platform. Don’t worry, someone was quick to help with a simple and unrelated comment.

When it comes to choosing the right birthday message, card, or image, it can be hard to know what to choose. So, why not go with everything and let them decide what they like best? That’s what happened here, even though it was likely unintentional. We imagine that the real goal was to copy and paste a specific image from that search in. Instead, they just posted the whole page of results! It’s the thought that counts, right?

There are certain nuances of social media culture that may baffle you if you’re not used to it. For instance, indirectly calling someone out for something they did while leaving out their direct name. This grandmother seemed afraid that her grandchild was referring to her in particular when she commented on this post, making sure to include all caps to emphasize the point. While the original post wasn’t directed towards her, it made for a wholesome exchange.

As we’ve learned, wishing someone a happy birthday isn’t as straightforward as you might hope it would be. There are still facets of using social media that grandparents are working out. In this example, we learned it could take some time for our grandparents to get the hang of tagging people in posts. While this grandparent achieved tagging someone in her post, it wasn’t their grandson. Instead, they tagged celebrity Zac Efron and claimed him as their own.

It’s always sad when a celebrity is facing a health issue. It’s even sadder when a beloved celebrity dies, and it usually brings a whole host of well-wishers. When famed physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018, plenty of people flocked to news articles to comment about how sad they were. This particularly sweet person added their own sentiment, but we’re afraid it might be a little too late to hope everything works out well for him.

We’ve all made mistakes in our posts before, and oftentimes the results are hilarious, if not a little embarrassing. That’s something that this grandparent learned all too well. When their grandson was born, they were eager to share his face with the world – they just happened to hit a few snags along the way. Perhaps the funniest part of this post is that when they realized, they didn’t repost but just told people to ask other family members to see the photo.

One of the best things about grandparents is that they always strive to see the achievements of their grandchildren. Few things make them happier than these successes. When this grandpa’s granddaughter had a dance video online, he was eager to see it. Sadly he couldn’t figure out how YouTube works, leading to this hilarious Facebook post. With any luck, his Facebook friends have given him some instructions on how to work youtube since then.

We all have complicated relationships with fast food and eating out. After all, it’s so tasty but it often comes at the price of a rather unhealthy or costly meal. This person had a slightly more emotional reason for their relationship with Applebee’s being complicated. It’s unfortunate, but it’s always better to find a person – or restaurant, in this case – that accepts you for who you are. It was sweet of Applebee’s to take the time to reassure him!

Getting our grandparents to use smartphones had been an uphill battle. Some are more willing to make the change, even if there is a learning curve. When this grandparent wanted to use Facebook on their phone, they didn’t know they could use the same account they already have set up on their computer. While their friend seems a bit confused to have received a new friend request, this proves grandparents are sometimes the best problem solvers.

If the internet has a currency, it’s pictures of cats. As such, it’s no surprise that when this person received a new bowtie for their cat, they didn’t hesitate to share it with the world. That doesn’t mean that everyone was impressed. While they surely received plenty of appreciation for their dapper pet, their grandfather had a concern that his granddaughter was turning into a cat lady. His following advice to “get a life” seems a little harsh over a bowtie!

We’ve all made quite a few mistakes on social media – especially when you’re first starting out. Sometimes you get different platforms confused or even make a typo here or there. This grandparent made a few faux pas when they made this post. For one, he made a few misspellings when he was looking for free downloads of John Lennon’s discography. In addition, he seems to have gotten confused and sent a post to Facebook rather than searching for his needs in their search engine.

The loss of a pet is always hard to handle. They go from a cute pet to quickly become a part of the family that you’re close to. When this person took to social media to share some sad news, they inexplicably aimed their message directly at Kmart. It was kind for Kmart to respond to the sad news without asking why Charles may have confided in them. Yet, they may not have anticipated opening themselves up to similar messages.

A lot of elderly people don’t like writing posts on a phone keyboard because it takes them longer than it does for younger people. Many get around this by using speech-to-text features for greater speed. Lindsay’s birthday wish from Chuck probably caused more than just sentimental feelings. It probably also came with a few laughs given Chuck’s speech-to-text mishap. This humorous birthday wish will probably be remembered for years to come. It may even become an inside joke between Chuck and Lindsay.

While some people find they have the most energy in the morning, some of us find that getting up is often the hardest part of the day. When this person posted their personal disdain for leaving the comfort of their bed, their grandmother wasn’t going to leave them without a word of advice – even if she did turn to a bit of a dark joke to get her point across. We’re sure this is a comment no one will forget anytime soon.

In the modern era, we’re used to most people having a smartphone. So, when we’re browsing social media or trying to waste time on public transit, usually it comes with the image of a phone in hand. If you only use social media from a computer, though, you might have a slightly different experience. That’s what we’re assuming happened here when this woman shocked fellow riders with her ingenuity. To keep up with her friends’ comments, she simply printed them out to read later.

Viewing a sonogram of their baby is a very exciting event for parents. It’s the first time you get to see them, which is a memorable event for any soon-to-be parent. When this excited parent posted the sonogram of the baby on Facebook, they were probably eager to see what their friends and family would say. They were probably caught off guard with this comment but likely came to laugh at it after some time processing it.

Recipes are plentiful on the internet. This is perfect for grandparents that love to cook, even though it can be difficult for them to maneuver the internet by themselves. Rather than searching for creamed corn recipes in a search engine, this woman searched on Facebook. Not only is this funny in its own right, but the post was also paired with an awkward selfie. This is exactly the kind of post we expect from our grandparents, and exactly the reason we love them!

Our grandparents are the type of people that have been around the block a time or two, leaving them with little patience for situations where people are taken advantage of. When Judith saw that there was a website dedicated to making fun of people in Walmart, she was quick to contact the company. Even though the company assured her that the website was a parody, Judith didn’t seem convinced. This goes to show that our grandparents always have our backs.

Most social media platforms allow users to post a short biography on their profile. A lot of people get creative and share something that they want everyone to know about them. It seems like this grandfather got a little confused about his bio, though. Maybe he thought that he was typing out a message for the marketplace and got a little lost on where he was posting. Plus, to make the most of his post, he made sure to highlight that Sears wasn’t welcome.

Being proud of your grandchildren is just part of the job when it comes to being a grandparent. This pride tends to extend to other people’s families as well. When Bill saw this post on Facebook, he probably blossomed with pride for what he assumed to be his friend’s son. Even after being corrected, Bill was sure to congratulate his friend on his “son’s” achievements. Some grandparents just can’t contain themselves, as this grandfather shows in his Facebook comments.

Emojis, as we’ve learned, can be as tricky as they are useful. While they add a nice touch when you’re trying to accentuate a point, they can also set a tone of sarcasm. However, using emojis incorrectly can end up with disastrous results if you weren’t to use the right option. Take this grandparent’s mistake for instance. It seems that the tears this emoji cried were misinterpreted for sadness rather than laughter. As a result, she’d been using it horribly incorrectly.

It’s not uncommon to use social media to reveal big news. This is especially true for older people that don’t want to have to make a statement more than once. This post was probably meant to fill everyone in on the devastating news of Shane’s passing. The awful nature of the post is contradicted by the laughing emojis, proving that this person may not be the most Facebook savvy. While tragic, the emoji does bring a little levity to the situation.

Our grandparents work to instill us with good values and codes of conduct. They always try to make sure that we’re being the best people we can be. This desire keeps our grandparents pushing us to be better even when we become adults. That’s why this Facebook exchange is so relatable. The best part about this is that it’s about a celebrity, even though grandma doesn’t know that. Maybe if she finds out, she’ll cut Tara some slack.

One amazing aspect of social media is that it allows us to access photos from our loved ones quickly and easily. This helps grandparents find pictures of their grandchildren anytime. When this grandparent found a lovely picture of the grandchildren, they were obviously overjoyed. They clearly wanted to have a physical copy to frame but didn’t know they could save just the photo itself, instead of printing the whole Facebook post. This innocence with using technology is one of the reasons why grandparents are the sweetest.

This set of grandparents was ready to share their love for their granddaughter in one way that social media sites like Facebook often encourage them to – through a birthday message! Unfortunately, not everything went as planned. Instead of mentioning this person’s grandmother in the post, they tagged rapper Grandmaster Flash in the birthday message. We’re sure this caused a few confused replies but ultimately made this birthday wish all the funnier and definitely memorable.

Getting the hang of standard social media is hard enough, but wrapping your head around corporate accounts is another challenge altogether. This grandmother just wanted to know how her grandson’s job interview at Wal-Mart was going when she messaged the mammoth corporation directly. They were quick to answer back but the conclusion to the saga showed her disappointment in her grandson’s actions. We hope he made up for it!

As we’ve seen so far, sometimes the mistakes made on social media aren’t only hilarious, but sometimes they’re tragically ironic. The latter was unfortunately true when this grandparent took to Facebook to wish a friend a happy birthday. We wonder if he knew at all before someone else posted to give him the bad news. However, it does add a twist of cruel irony to his phrasing on the birthday wish for Bill.

In the early stages of learning how to navigate social media, it’s often difficult to navigate all the features and what they can do alongside the terms for each one. That’s why this particular exchange occurred. When this grandmother tried to order Facebook to post the pictures from Christmas for her, she was truly at a loss as to what to do. Although we have to admit, it sounds like her husband may have been playing a bit of a prank on her too.

Putting together a thoughtful post can pose a challenge. After all, finding the right words to say is hard and most people want to get their message just right. This grandparent is here to show us that sometimes, the best way to convey a message on social media is just to say it. Especially when that message is simple, even if it doesn’t have a deeper meaning. In this case, that goes even if the only thing you have to say is “bananas.”

There are a lot of small nuances to social media and technology in general that many of us don’t think about anymore. However, to new users, these can seem like modern marvels! Take this example, for instance. Many of us use emojis in our daily life, but mostly with text or to emphasize a point. All this grandparent wanted was a little wave back with an emoji they found. Thankfully, Brad catered to their whims and gave them the satisfaction they were looking for.

If there’s one thing that social media is full of, it’s jokes and prompts. These serve as great conversation pieces that get the comments section going. When this person posted a fairly innocent one asking everyone how old they’d be in the year 2060, they got a response they probably didn’t expect. While we’re sure most people responded with actual numbers, this grandparent decided to be brutally honest. In her words, she’ll be dead by this far-off year.

One of the best things about social media is that it allows us to reach a large audience in one fell swoop. So, if you want to get everyone’s attention, this is the way to go. When this person reached out to everyone they knew looking for a night with pals, their grandma was more than happy to oblige. Sadly, their offer was turned down point-blank. Still, we hope they both found something fun to do with their evening!

If you were born in the age of social media, it’s easy to forget the learning curve it can pose. Many of our grandparents remember the rotary phone – you have to give them some time. This poor grandparent probably thought they finally had it down when they shared an interesting article. Rather than showing us a delicious meal, though, they informed us about video games. Unfortunately, they were left confused both as to how they did it and what they posted meant.

People use social media for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, they want to share images of their life or a joke. Other times, it’s just something interesting they learned. Yet, sometimes the most interesting thing to see is what other people find engaging. We’ve all been on a Wikipedia dive, but few of us would share a random article with all our online friends. However, his grandparent found this article to be too good to languish in relative obscurity.

Oftentimes, we hear honesty is the best policy. Yet, this isn’t always the case, particularly when you’re talking about posts on public forums. This grandparent took to Facebook to let her granddaughter know she was beautiful, and then some. Unfortunately, that included publicly admitting on social media that her friend had a less than stellar appearance the duo’s latest picture together. Next time, they might want to make sure that their grandma understands that sometimes it’s better to not post.

The rise of online shopping has given us a lot of conveniences. After all, you can get whatever you need without more than the few clicks of a button, and there isn’t much wait. Not everyone took to online commerce with the same zeal, though. The older generation especially took a little longer to jump on the bandwagon. As this grandmother showed us, the tech trend can entice anyone at any time – even if they don’t know why.

Animals can be nosey — just like us! But what can be an annoying trait in humans is actually adorable in our furry friends. Pets just love to see what’s going on in the world and gather a little gossip. We’ve gathered a collection of photos of delightful dogs, cats, and other animals butting in and spying on their neighbors in the cutest way possible.

You’re the one being nosey if you think this pretty kitty is looking for you. She’s waiting for her date tonight, and she’s put on her best frock to celebrate.

This is something she’s been looking forward to all week. Now that it’s the weekend, it’s time to go out and have fun. We’re not annoyed whatsoever.

This prim little pup is so excited to stick her nose in everyone else’s business that her human has kindly set up a chair in front of the window so she can keep tabs on the outside world. The cushion in the chair gives her all the comfort she needs to be as nosey as possible.

With such an exciting world out there, we can’t blame her! We also can’t wait to give her all the love she needs and deserves after such a busy day.

Parrots can certainly be nosey creatures. They can get up in all your business when you least expect it. But we just can’t say no to this pretty bird, especially when it’s birds she’s most interested in.

She loves to tweet at her flock of followers and say hi and other words. We don’t mind how nosey she is because she’s just too cute!

There’s nothing quite like passing a gate when you’re out and about on business and seeing this handsome fellow monitoring the foot traffic outside. Don’t be scared if his gaze falls on you.

He just loves saying hello to all the friendly neighbors in the area. He’s a polite boy with excellent posture and an interest in everything. You can tell because his ears are just about as tall as he is!

This is a cat full of questions, and it’s up to us to give her the answers. She wants to know where you’re going and why. She’s not going to sit down until she knows everything. Lucky for her, she has perfect balance.

She doesn’t have to sit back down for ages, which enables her to remain vigilant and catch every single movement outside her window. A new bird in the neighborhood? She’s got it. Nothing escapes her attention.

Hamsters are the perfect nosey neighbors. Since they’re so tiny, they can fit in the most discreet of places, like an empty tissue paper roll. And since they’re so adorable, you won’t mind at all when they get all up in your business.

They’re the perfect little spies, and would be just at home in the palm of your hand, eating seeds, as they would be curled up in your shirt pocket, snagging a nap. It’s tiring being so nosey!

We get it. Sometimes you need a fence to keep everything in and everything else out. But this little kitten doesn’t get it. In fact, he wishes that you would open up and let him roam so he could explore everything going on in this wide, wonderful world.

For now, he’ll settle on perching on the curb and placing his tiny paws on the ledge of the wall to see out through the gate. If you notice his little ears, be sure to give them a rub.

This curly pup loves being nosey, but you can’t fault her for it. She’s just so cute that we’d bend over backwards to give her something to wag her precious little tail about.

We don’t mind at all that she has her nose in everyone’s business, especially when she’s so excited and polite about it. We’re sure that everyone passing by who gets the chance to see her waves at her.

We would gladly submit to the questioning of this nosey rabbit. We can feel its velvet softness through the curtain and would love to feed it treats through the window.

No question is too sensitive or personal when coming from this nosey bunny, and we have all the time in the world to sit and chat. Annoyance? No such thing if this fluffy little thing is interrogating us.

You know what they say about gossip, don’t you? It’s even more delicious when shared with someone else! These two cats are pure trouble — and pure delight — when they spy on the neighbors.

They’ve perfected their nosiest stances and have their own personal spaces to take in everything that’s happening outside. The best part about this partnership is that they can discuss all the news they witnessed between themselves later.

Have you ever had the feeling that someone was watching you? You pause in your daily errands, looking around, but there’s no one. Did you ever look up, though? If so, you’d have seen this good boy watching out for you from above.

Some people get guardian angels. This guardian pup is intent on figuring out what’s going on below — and wishing that you have a wonderful day. What good luck!

When you’re so interested in someone else’s life, it can be easy and fun to forget about your own problems! At least, that’s what we’re thinking motivates this fur ball of a feline when she parts the blinds to get her fix of gossip.

We’re definitely not mad about it, though — we love seeing her living her best life as she watches and waits for something to happen. It kind of makes us feel all warm inside to know she’s so interested!

This good girl could’ve been made just a little bit bigger so she could see out the window better, but she’s not letting that stop her. She’s up and prancing on her tippy toes, ready to watch what might happen to fly by the window from her vantage point.

It’s looking awfully green out there, but she’ll let you know if something pops up through the bushes with a little dance.

This kitty thinks what’s outside the window is even better than what they play on TV. So sue him! He lives to spy on you and the rest of the neighbors, one paw pressed delicately down on a window blind slat.

Nothing escapes his careful attention. He lives to watch the birds, passers-by, joggers, cars, and other features of his domain. He’s stuck on watching the real world go by.

Who’s the best friend in the entire neighborhood? Chances are it’s this good boy, who keeps an eye on everything that’s happening. Nobody’s angry at this nosey pup, especially when he’s so friendly about it.

He’s just keeping an eye on things — just like a cuddly neighborhood watch. His bark is full of joy and he’s just as happy to see you as he is to sit in the sun.

There’s no place this kitten won’t go when there’s something interesting going on outside. Sandwiching herself between the backdoor and the screen door simply isn’t a problem. Cats are so good at displaying superhero-like strength, grace, and balance in places where you least expect it.

How could you be upset at such a display of athleticism? Show her how much you appreciate her dedication to being nosey with some cuddles!

There are good boys, and then there are really good boys, and we think this pup falls into the latter category. He stands quietly on guard at the window, paws propped up.

It’s moments like these that remind us to keep calm and carry on. That watchful gaze is taking in everything in sight, and we certainly can’t fault him for being interested in his surroundings. It’s dogs like this good boy who watch over us.

Who needs a neighborhood watch when you have someone as dapper and alert as this feline detective? Whether it’s a squirrel scampering through the yard or a bird winging by, this kitty will be sure to make a note of it — and let his owners know.

There are no movements that go undetected when this cat is on the job. He accepts payments for his services exclusively in head rubs and tuna fish.

Who’s a good dog? This good boy right here. He’s parted the curtains to make sure he knows everything that’s going on in the neighborhood. Has the mailman been there? Yes! And the school bus? Twice!

There’s not going to be a single detail that will escape him when it’s bright outside and he has a watchful eye out. He deserves all the love and treats for keeping such good tabs on everyone.

We’re impressed with the ingenuity of all these furry busybodies, but this cat takes the cake. She doesn’t let a little inconvenience like closed window blinds deter her in her devotion to get all the gossip.

In fact, she simply weaves her body in and out, standing on her hind legs to get the perfect view out of the window. If we all showed a little of the same dedication to the things we’re passionate about, our lives might be different!

Free hugs! Get your free hugs here! This pup is eager to share her love with everyone, and she’s keeping a close eye out the window to see who she can find.

You can’t fault a pup as nosey as her, especially when she’s only looking to dole out hugs and love and kisses and everything else. She doesn’t even need any treats in return — though you can always donate to the cause. Hugging can be hungry business!

Something in the way of a morning lurk? Not for this innovative cat. With an easy sweep, she edges around the corner of the window blinds and gazes out into the big world beyond.

Think of all the wonderful and juicy gossip she collects throughout her day of watching and waiting, twitching her furry tail back and forth. The tales she could tell — if she chose to talk! Instead, she collects her information like treats, savoring each one.

We don’t make the rules, but this little guy is happy to help you figure it out. The first rule is if he spots you from between the blinds, he gets a pat on the head. The second rule is that you let him outside to frolic in the sun.

The third rule is that you give him a feast no matter what time of day it is. It’s simple! Be sure to wave hello when you see his sweet little face looking at you from inside. If you don’t, it’s a lifetime supply of belly rubs.

Excuse me! Yes, I’m talking to you! I’ve climbed all this way to say my piece, and you can’t go until I’m finished. This cat is on the climb and wants to have a word with you. She’s not going to take no for an answer.

She’s defied gravity and physics, after all — you really can’t be in that much of a hurry. This orange mountaineer is on the lookout for new friends and anyone who wants to hear her chatter about whatever has grabbed her attention that day.

This dog’s humans will never know that he slipped back into his old habit of being a nosey neighbor. All he’s doing is pulling the blinds apart for a super fast look at the outside world.

He needs updates, after all. Afterward, he’s sure the blinds will go back to their original shape and form. You can’t fault that cute little face for wanting to make sure that the world keeps turning outside even when he’s inside!

When something really juicy is happening outside, this cat just can’t help himself. He has to lean out of the open window as far as he can to check it out.

Maybe two dogs who can’t decide who gets to sniff whom first. Or maybe there’s a dispute at the bird feeder. This cat is in the mix at every turn. We hope he doesn’t get surprised — or off-balanced. But we know he’ll land on his feet regardless!

Who needs four legs when this friendly pup does just fine on his own two feet? He’s ready to gather some hot gossip from around the neighborhood since he has the best view — and the best balance — in town. Don’t be intimidated by his stern stance.

He only wants to join in the fun and conversations happening just outside. Throw him a bone and tell him all the latest news from your life!

This sweet girl doesn’t let a silly thing like closed window blinds deter her from being a nosey neighbor. She simply goes straight to the source, parting those annoying things with a prim paw and going about her day.

If you didn’t want her to mess with the blinds, you shouldn’t have kept them closed. How else is she going to keep an eye on the wildlife out in the front yard each afternoon?

What a wonderful sight to open your eyes to in the morning as you’re getting out of bed: your dog keeping a watchful eye on the world outside. He’s taking careful notes on what all the neighbors are doing just beyond the window, and he’ll report back to you as soon as you ask him.

Those short legs don’t bother him a bit. They’re the perfect length to help him see out the window.

When this bunny’s on the case, there will be no stone left unturned, and no door left unopened. She can easily sneak a peek right around the corner of any door left ajar to spy on whoever might be inside.

It’s impossible to be annoyed at such diligence, initiative, and fluff! Whoever she’s eavesdropping on better give her a treat and some scratches. She’s definitely some bunny to love on!

This furry feline is pulling off a balancing act trying to get your attention just outside the window. Do you have a second to stop and chat? He’s not going to let a thin little screen get in the way of his observations — or your chat.

What are you doing? Where have you been? Where are you going? Where are his treats? He has so many questions for you — don’t keep him hanging!

This kitty’s got a fever. The only thing that will cure it is more gossip! She’s hanging on and peeking out, intent on understanding the day-to-day business of everyone just outside the window.

Give her a little credit — she is very dedicated to her craft, after all. And she has an upper body strength of a powerlifter from hanging on that window sill day in and day out.

Winter’s no fair at all. This season seems like the longest part of the year by far, and this dog needs more stimulation to get his nosey fix. A window and a good view of the snowy street below will have to do when the temperature gets too low to take a nice, long walk outside.

Surely you’ll forgive such a good boy for being a busybody when there just isn’t anything else to do!

With this feline’s sleek physique, it’s simple for him to slip between the curtains to monitor the world outside. Your neighbors might not even notice they’re being spied on until it’s already happened.

When this alert boy is done taking notes and being nosey, he can retire to his tent and snuggle into his furry pillow. It’s there that he’ll think about all he’s seen during the day and pass silent judgments.

Sometimes, we can’t get through our day without a little help from our friends. This is the case with this ball of fur who needs a little help from her human to see out the window.

For now, he’ll settle on perching on the curb and placing his tiny paws on the ledge of the wall to see out through the gate. If you notice his little ears, be sure to give them a rub.
