14 Important Life Lessons You Only Learn By Accident

5. Leaving Your Facebook Account Signed In When Leaving The Room

We trust our friends and family members. We expect a certain amount of decency from them, to the point where leaving the room to do something as innocent as discretely removing waste without feeling like we're going to be exploited. Of course, most of us have succumbed to the temptation of teaching our friends and family that no, they can't trust us to look at their Facebook or Twitter without taking action. Nevermind if they're actually foolish enough to let us look at their phone. It's almost like we're doing them a favor.

To be clear, the lesson is to trust no one, especially when online bulletin boards are involved.
