How to Devastate and Destroy Your Nemeses: Post Ugly Pictures of Them on Facebook, Obvs

Whoa, if you’ve been innocently posting photos on Facebook as a means of conveying what a fun time you and your friends had at the beach, you’re doin’ it all wrong. According to a somewhat crazy sounding survey, many women are posting unflattering photos of their friends online as a means of getting back at them. Gee, friendship is so wonderful.

The survey, which was done by Mymemory.com, asked 1,500 women over the age of 18 about their photo posting habits on social networking sites. It turns out that one in four women deliberately posts unflattering pictures of friends wearing bikinis. They do? I can honestly say that I don’t think I even have any pictures of my friends in bikinis to post, even if I wanted to. And it’s not just bikinis: two-fifths of women said they’d purposefully put pics of friends wearing no makeup online. And why would you want to post less than flattering photos of your BFFs for all to see? For revenge, of course! The majority of women posting the photos said they did so after falling out with their friends, while nearly a third said they were taking revenge on people who had done the same to them. An half-closed eye for a half-closed eye, as the old saying goes.
