Forget spiders, snakes, and tall buildings. These are the things that really keep us up at night.
Digital Disasters
Forgetting your OnePassword
Losing your phone
Find My Friends giving away your location
Social Shame
Sending a DM – but it’s not a DM, it’s public
Accidentally liking old Facebook posts you’re stalking
Instagram making public the photos you’ve most viewed
WhatsApping the person you’re talking about rather than the group that they’re not part of
Meeting Mistakes
Forgetting you’re on camera on Zoom
Confracall not being on mute when you think it is
Phone not hanging up properly as you keep talking
Laptop camera spying on you
Musical Mishaps
Bluetooth headphones not connecting and playing something terrible to everyone
Farting whilst headphones are in
Phone sound playing on a different bluetooth speaker
Spotify playlists revealing true music loves at a house party
Photo Failures
Flash and sound playing when trying to take a sneaky photo
Someone taking a photo of you whilst asleep
Tourist checking the photo you’ve just taken for them
Taking a photo of yourself on the toilet
Customer Challenges
Getting a bad customer rating on Uber
Finding worrying things in your AirBnB apartment
Email Errors
Copy and pasting the wrong (inappropriate) thing
Autocorrecting to rude or inappropriate words
Copying in the person you’re emailing about
Trusting autocomplete in the recipient field and composing and sending something confidential
Pop-up problems
Someone else looking through your phone or laptop
Targeted ads showing your dodgy browsing history
Auto complete showing a dodgy website
Private notifications appearing on your screen

Commuting Concerns
Someone walking into you holding a coffee when you’re on the way to work
Contactless not working and having to walk back through the crowd of people
Hit in the face with a fast-moving selfie stick
