This horrified bloke gave his sister his old phone but forgot to delete his ‘homework’ folder

Now this isn’t necessarily a lesson we all need to learn – not you, I’m sure not, absolutely out of the question – but it’s a salutary lesson for, shall we say, some people.

Just not us.

It’s a devastating tale shared on the TIFU – ‘Today I Fucked Up’ – subReddit by JustaYeetingMat that goes like this.

Ouch.

‘Always, always, always do a factory reset on electronics you sell or give away. Protects your information and saves you from embarrassing situations.’ tony7914

‘The best part is that you’ll be reliving this story for the entirety of your adult life at family get-togethers.’ handlessuck

Someone also took the time to offer some reassurance too, which was nice.

‘That sucks and is terribly humiliating but just realize you’ll either have to deal with the taunting for a bit until it dies down, which it should pretty quickly, or just continue avoiding which is going to make things more awkward. Honestly, if you go into it kinda like yeah that happened, that’s what I like, so what? Just be indifferent to it all. You can definitely be apologetic for not deleting it correctly. That also may be why some are mad about it because a young girl saw everything. It will all blow over.’stefannystrange
