This Tiktoker has suddenly realized that there are real-world consequences to the things we post online! 

Many of us grew up being told over and over to be cautious what we share online. Others throw caution to the wind and post whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like. The internet remembers everything! Once you post something online, even if you delete is immediately, there's still a chance your post will live on forever if even one person or website saves your content. Posting strong opinions, risky pictures, insensitive rants, or other things like that can come back to bite you. 

It seems like this Tiktoker had that horrible realization in real time! She runs an account where she takes videos of the clothing of random strangers and judges them on it. While this could be funny, it does sound rather mean-spirited---not to mention it's a major invasion of the privacy of these poor people who are just out in the world living their lives. Just think about how many times you're out and about wearing clothing that's 

Check out the full story below! Then, read about the wellness store employee who kept telling this dude not to park in a specific place, adding, "If you walk away, I can have your car towed."

    Am I wrong for ending an interview after I recognised the candidate as someone who recorded me for a TikTok?

    Hi all. I'm looking for some non biased opinions based on what happened to me at work today. For some context about a month ago, I came across a TikTok which had quite a few likes (over 40k) and it was a women who had taken pictures of random strangers in public and "rated" their outfits. I already believe taking pictures of random people is extremely weird behaviour and posting it is also pretty odd. Each slide was a different person however my slide was of me

    wearing a not so great outfit as I was on the way back from dropping my daughter off at a friends house and popped to my local shop to grab milk. The woman who had taken the picture captioned my slide "2/10, it's giving just woke up and couldn't be bothered, not flattering for the body type either" it really shocked me to see, one, myself on the internet when I didn't ask to be photographed, and 2, to be

    judged on an outfit that really wasn't supposed to be an "outfit" I looked at the account and got a look at their face and their name. It dampened my mood for the day but it was fine. Fast forward to today and I was intervening a candidate for a position at my place of work. Once I had looked at the name on the sheet I recognised it but couldn't remember why. As soon as this woman sat down it clicked and I knew exactly who she was.

    Once she sat down I let her know that I recognised her and that I would not be continuing the interview based on the fact I was aware of who she was and then searched her name on the TikTok app and showed her the video she made. I let her know that I was in fact one of the people featured and that I did not agree with taking strangers pictures nor did I agree with shaming them online. She apologised and told me she did not think of the implications at the time. I

    dismissed the interview and told my friends about the incident. Some of them did not agree and told me i should have set aside my own feelings and kept it. professional. Other friends agreed with me and said I was within reason. I'm trying to get a better understanding of if I overreacted here and maybe should have at least continued the interview even if I did not employ her.

    Epoxos Not wrong. Actions have consequences. People need to know doing these kinds of things isn't ok.

    Aberrantkitten Absolutely the right thing to do. I would not want that person in my office at all. She's an HR nightmare.

    scholarlyowl03 Not wrong! It's why people need to be careful of what they put out there. You literally never know who will see it!

    Over-Marionberr... lol nope you're not wrong. This falls under the category of f around and find out. The fact that she "didn't think of the implications at the time" disqualifies her from any jobs with responsibility in my opinion. What possible reason would I hire someone who doesn't think about repercussions?

    Poppypie77 Not wrong. She's now seeing the consequences of her actions. It's not right to photograph and post people for public judgement. She didn't know the circumstances of why you were dressed the way you were. You could have spent all night up the hospital with a relative and just come home to get showered and changed for work. You could

    have been up all night with a sick child and just dashed to the shop for some medicine. We all have ourlou ge around casual comfortable clothes compared to our nice dressed or work clothes etc. It doesnt tell you anything about that person or what theyre going through at that time. Yet she felt worthy enough to judge people on their clothing.

    If she feels it's acceptable to publicly post strangers and judge them, I wouldn't feel she's a good person to have in the company as she could do other derogatory things. or post innapropriate stuff that would reflect badly on the company.

    Many employees search applicants on social media. for similar reasons to see the type of things they post and if they post controversial or racist things for eg. And they choose who to hire based on what they see of the person.

    She's now learning that actionshave consequences, and funny how the person she judged poorly simply from a casual outfit dashing get milk is the person who is high up enough in a company to be doing the intake interviews. Teaches her a big lesson not to judge.

    But yeah, definitely not wrong. Just make sure to take screen shots of her post before she deletes it incase she wants to complain about it etc.
