FACEBOOK’S ‘on this day’ feature exists solely to remind you that you used to be an embarrassing arse, it has been confirmed.
Although appearing to be a charming reminder of years gone by, the feature actually leaves users mortified about awful fashion choices and posts full of toe-curling emotional ‘oversharing’.
Facebook user Emma Bradford said: “I’ve had Facebook since my teens, so most of my ‘memories’ are snaps of me with weird highlights and an embarrassing loose tie.
“I’m not only dressed like a wanker but in most of the pictures I seem to be all over horrible, pimply, dickhead boys. Still, at least it distracts attention from my fucking awful poetry.”
Fellow user Tom Booker agreed: “I’ll always wonder how many of my now-adult friends have seen I spent a full month posting 15 times a day about Rage Against the Machine becoming Christmas number one.
“That and trying to look hard while smoking a badly-rolled spliff. I feel a bit sick just thinking about it.”
