As the saying goes, fail to prepare, prepare to have your failures photographed and uploaded to the internet for complete stranger to laugh at you forever — at least, that’s how I think it goes?
Regardless, preparation is the key to success, but that doesn’t stop people from bumbling into situations without having thought about the situation first. Thankfully, the results are often hilarious! So, here are 14+ people who really should’ve been better prepared!
