How would you feel if an old – and often bad – picture of you suddenly went viral on the Internet?
We often forget that some of our favorite memes are actual pictures of actual people. Even worse, they themselves sometimes didn’t even realize their pictures had been shared before they had already become memes. Some take it with humor, some love it, and others still can’t get over it.
Buzzfeed compiled a list of 13 of the world’s favorite memes, and how they really look like today.
