10 Things You Should Never Tweet

Twitter can be fun, informative and a little addictive. But there are some things that you shouldn't mention or discuss, even in 140 characters or less. Twitter is wonderful tool for social networking; it's a fun way to show off your wit and it's also entertaining to keep tabs on your favorite celebrities. But then there is the darker side of Twitter, which nearly everyone got a glimpse into a few weeks back thanks to Anthony Weiner. So in the spirit of all things inappropriate and digital, we've come up with a nifty list of things that never need to be tweeted:

That you're having sex.right.this.moment.
That you're concerned your period is late.
That you're disappointed in his, err, size. Really anything about his size.
Speaking of sizes, there's no need to tweet pictures of your goodies. Ever.
Childbirth. Not long ago a woman live-tweeted her labor. The internet was not impressed. Or kind.
Weddings. A simple "congrats to @Mr and @Mrs on tying the knot!" after the lovebirds say "I do" can be sweet. But tweeting during actual the ceremony? Not so much.
Your phone number or email address. Speaking from experience here; my spam folder is out of control!
Announcing that you're angry with (and therefore trash-talking) your boyfriend, best friend, mom, boss or dog.
That you're stuck in traffic. Put the phone down and concentrate on the (slow) moving road ahead!
Anything you'd hesitate saying in person. If you're unsure about saying it to someone's face or to a group of people, it's probably not the best idea to broadcast it in 140 characters.
