Chicago Bears Official Account Accidentally Posts Random Selfie, Admits They Don't Know How To Delete It
Text content
Oops didn’t mean to tweet that. Not sure how to delete.
Overview
This image is a screenshot of two consecutive public tweets from the verified official X (formerly Twitter) account of NFL team the Chicago Bears. The earlier tweet, posted 7 minutes before the screenshot was captured, is a low-angle selfie of an unknown older man with glasses and a mustache, showing a drop ceiling office background with no accompanying text. The follow-up tweet, posted 1 minute after the selfie, reads 'Oops didn’t mean to tweet that. Not sure how to delete.' The humor comes from the relatable, absurd mistake of posting unrelated personal content to a large official public social media account, and the honest admission that the poster lacks the knowledge to remove the accidental post.
Origin notes
The original tweets were posted to the official Chicago Bears X account, likely by an employee who mistakenly accessed the official account instead of their personal one, or had no experience operating the account's features. Screenshots of the two tweets went viral as a meme on X and other social media platforms, shared widely for its relatable humor about common social media blunders.
