There’s a great second-hand embarrassment/thrill that comes from watching someone speak very confidently with no idea how hard they’re about to be shut down because they don’t know who they’re talking to. The internet is full of these, though largely in screenshot form, since the embarrassing messages are usually deleted. But a few live on.
Enjoy these 10 examples of people who really should have just stopped talking.
