Do you see what's wrong with this picture?

Look closely. There's a typo in the General Election hashtag. What is supposed to read "#GE2015" is reading "#GE0215". And the misspelled version is trending higher than the correct one.

A lot of people have been caught out by this awkward mistake, including Dazed magazine:

And a HuffPost UK writer:

Walked straight past the polling station. Good start. #GE0215

The Times too, but they deleted it. Spoilsports.

Armando Ianucci was victim of the slip-up:

But don't worry, we think we've tracked down the culprit.

Keiran, it's all your fault. You made people look like they were tweeting about an election from 1,800 years ago.

Naughty Keiran.
