40 People Who Got Ahead Of Themselves

Life moves fast and none of us can argue with that. But sometimes all we need is just one moment of clarity to think things through before we make a ridiculous decision or end up humiliating ourselves. If we're being honest with ourselves, we've all been these people at one point or another.

1. This dude, who thought taking a bath with his cat was a good idea.

But like, what did he actually expect? I guess in theory this is a cute idea.

2. The person who thought they could make it down the hill.

Reddit | bkmgtpe

No thank you. I hope this was on prom night and all the seniors were like, "WHY? HELP!" Truly ridiculous.

3. This lady, who used three axes to try to get into her car.

Reddit | Mikiino

I mean, wouldn't a phone call to AAA be more effective than using three axes? I'm low-key scared of her.

4. This mom who tried her best to send her friend some heartfelt condolences

Twitter | ItsCaradee

Wow, this tweet literally killed me! Oh, wait...I mean...sorry, I guess that was kind of insensitive given the circumstances...

5. This girl who attempted to build an Ikea chair.

Reddit | dionysage

And then probably needed to consult the instructions after that. This makes me laugh so hard because honestly, it's totally me.

6. This groomer who shaved the right shape, but the wrong part

Instagram | @tank.sinatra

Always bring a picture of the hairstyle you want

7. This girl, who immediately was like, "not worth it!"

Reddit |  GallowBoob

This would be me. Look at the way the monkey is readying himself to pounce on her. Her expression is priceless.

8. This father of the bride who forgot one key accessory — his belt 

Reddit | ufjeff

Call it a wardrobe malfunction if you must, but his outfit is so spiffy that he can almost pull off the no-pants look.

9. This dog that soon realized it just wasn't worth it.

Reddit | Thehectornador

Poor little fella! Don't worry, the owner made sure to point out in the comments that the dog was fine, probably just embarrassed!

10. This flight attendant, who forgot to double check themselves.

Reddit | JudeAdrian

But hey, they were probably just in a rush to handle something in the cabin. Maybe this means they're actually the best flight attendant ever.

11. This little dog that definitely didn't think things through.

Reddit | kuz_929

He's stuck and it's so cute I can barely take it! You can see the desperation in his eyes. "Help me, help me!"

12. This girl who didn't ask about the dress code 

9Gag | 9Gag

Who wouldn't think "Spider-Man" the moment they hear "dress-up party"? Love how she rolled with it.

13. The person who thought a soap dispenser worked like this.

Reddit | vfhuuuuu

This is the epitome of "not my job." I know I say this a lot, but there are no words.

14. This person, who clearly regrets buying a Kia.

Reddit | ThisTextIsNotGreen

Talk about buyer's remorse! This is maybe the most intense version of it. A walking advertisement if you will. Or should I say driving?

15. This person, who clearly thought they were being clever but might need to call poison control.

I'm honestly very worried for his health. This 100% merits a trip to the hospital.

16. Don't buy your kid real arrows

17. These kids, who are giving me a panic attack.

Imgur | thund3rbolt

Why would they ever do this with a rubber band? I hope a teacher came out a moment later and yelled at them.

18. This wife, who surely didn't expect her husband to send these pics.

Reddit | Whitlow14

What a little sassy dude this guy is. She was probably rolling her eyes so hard when she got these.

19. This guy who thought he'd feed ONE of the stray cats

Instagram | @ayynacho

Never carry open tuna in a rough neighborhood

20. This person who decided to go on a heath kick

Imgur | indietorch

Salmonella...it's not a fun lesson to learn

21. This guy who was so excited to get in the harbor he forgot to reverse 

Imgur | Captainkeegan

22. This kid who was so hungry he forgot the water

23. This kid who just wanted to say he did it

Reddit | cannonflake

24. I heard he recently found out he was gluten intolerant

25. Sports can be frustrating but unfortunately, there's no do-over in the game of life, my man

Imgur | Imgur

26. Sure, it's definitely Lego-esque. But was it worth it?

Instagram | @will_ent

27. When I asked for extra cheese, I didn't think it would end up like this

Rocket News 24 | Rocket News 24

That thing looks like you'd need a pick axe to climb.

28. This nature lover who was hungry for a taste of the outdoors 

Reddit | ClassyTurkey

This is why we need more outdoor education in our curriculum.

29. This little girl, who will soon realize she can't really move out.

Reddit | Carguy74

But I've got to give her props for sticking to her cause! She's packing and throwing major shade at her mom. Living for it.

30. The person who was so excited to order this for their cat.

Reddit | thebayallday

And then realized it was actually probably made for ants. The look on the cat's face, though! Clearly not amused.

31. This person, who couldn't wait to get her new mouse.

Reddit | mrfoyl

And then completely severed the wires of it. I am cringing so hard looking at this. It physically hurts. I feel for her.

32. This dad who miscalculated 

Imgur | Imgur

Well, Dad, it looks as though we can definitely say you're no Tarzan. But no worries, those foam pits are hella deep and padded. Builds character.

33. This guy who's clearly ahead of himself but behind the times...

Tumblr | tastefullyoffensive

That makes sense right?

34. This dad, who was desperate to get into this DVD.

Reddit | pretzelsaltz

So he ripped off all of the packaging except the actual piece holding it shut. Such a typical dad thing to do!

35. This person who let boredom get the best of them

Twitter | @BlackLaughs

Once the boredom wears off, it'll sink in

36. This guy and his "accidental" purchase 

Instagram | @kalesalad

My guess is that mom decided four years of college tuition was worth more than a sweet whip.

37. This unfortunate soul who spoke too soon

Twitter | gabbyhasnosoul

This sort of thing is far too graphic for the internet, but I just can't look away...

38. The person who tried to cook their spaghetti like this.

Reddit | [deleted]

I guess when you're craving that pasta and need to eat it ASAP, desperate times call for desperate measures. Not against it.

39. This guy who taught his mom how to use emojis.

Reddit | pistonsdude1

He definitely got ahead of himself. He probably thought he was being such a great son, helping her out. What a fool!

40. This guy, who woke up in the middle of the night to set a reminder with Siri.

Twitter | @webster

What could he have possibly meant? The joys of groggily making notes on your phone.
