The Biebs took to Instagram on Monday (8 August) to tell his 253 million followers that he’d commented ‘sad existence’ on a fellow Instagrammer’s page, and said the move has been ‘eating him up all day’.

The hit-maker didn’t specify whose account he’d commented on, but did reveal that he’d found their page ‘dumb’.

Bieber explained in an Instagram statement: “For some reason, I commented on some guy’s page, ‘sad existence’ because he was doing something I thought was dumb.”

He added: “Not quite sure why I felt the need to write that. If he was doing what makes him happy, who am I to say anything.

“Hope it didn’t hurt his feelings, it’s been eating me up all day. To the dude, I wrote it to the man I am sorry.” [sic]

Biebs recently got back on the road after he was forced to press pause on his tour following a Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) diagnosis. RHS is a rare illness that causes facial paralysis and hearing loss.

In June, the star took to Instagram to reveal that he was unable to move the right side of his face and would be taking time away from the spotlight to recuperate.

He explained: “I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.”

Bieber then demonstrated that he was unable to move one side of his face before continuing: “As you can see, this eye is not blinking.

“I can’t smile on this side of my face, this nostril will not move. There’s full paralysis of this side of my face.”

He went on: “So for those who are frustrated by cancellations of my next shows, I’m just physically not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see.

“I wish this wasn’t the case, but obviously my body is telling me I gotta slow down and I hope you guys understand. I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100 percent so I can do what I was born to do.”

The singer concluded: “It will go back to normal, it’s just time and we don’t know how much time it’s going to be, but it’s going to be OK. I have hope and I trust God and I trust this is all going to be OK.”

E-mails are arguably one of the biggest banes of the modern world. Whether they’re ‘finding you well’ or quite the opposite, we’ve all made a tech-related error at some point in our careers.

Sometimes it’s pressing send too soon or forgetting to attach that all-important file you’d sworn you’d sent over.

But one woman recently made a mortifying discovery about her email signature.

For years, she’d been using it to declare her love for Canadian megastar Justin Bieber without even realising.

Worse still, it was her boss who pointed out the blunder.

Jessica Stahle took to TikTok to share the embarrassing story on her account @jessicastahle32. In a viral clip which has been viewed 2.1m times, she asked: “How many aura points did I lose when I found out today that every email I’ve sent since I was 10 from my primary email has the auto signature “~i’m in love with Justin Bieber’s new haircut!!!!!!~” (The only reason I found out is because my manager brought it up)” (sic).

In a follow-up video Stahle, from Los Angeles, explained she thought the signature was ‘optional.’

She said: “I did know that I had this signature on my email, but I thought it was optional because when I used my laptop, it showed it at the bottom and I just deleted it every time on my iPhone, which is where I send most of my emails from now.”

While she recognised she should’ve scrapped the cringe-inducing sentiment years ago, Stahle wanted to keep it as a reminder of her fangirl days.

Fortunately, Stahle said her job ‘doesn’t really involve a lot of e-mailing,’ adding: “It’s just more like confirming, ok, I’ll be there at this time. Back and forth.”

Viewers were left in stitches by Stahle’s admission as one said: “This is SO FUNNY”, with a second confessing: “I’m on the floor [laughing].”

Others were quick to share their own painful blunders. One wrote: “my name is Cora, and mine signed “Cora Cora Cora the explora” until I was 25. I’m a lawyer.”

A second shared: “The name of my iPhone was “horses are strong” and I went through so many zooms in school, work, etc before my therapist finally told me that’s the name that shows up on the zoom screen”.

Stahle warned others: “Take this as a cautionary tale to just double-check your Gmail settings and make sure that your auto signature is what you would like it to be.”

You’ve been warned!
