You can’t be the hero of every situation.
When your help isn’t needed, you may make things even worse than they were at the start.
RELATED STORIES
These people meant well, but their help ended up being distinctly unhelpful.
Picasso? PicassNO
A woman attempted to restore a beloved relic, only to make it unrecognizable. ‘A’ for effort?
Grate Job
When mom asks you to grate cheese and the grater is in the wash, the only logical thing to do is attempt to grate cheese with a potato masher, right?
Too Little Too Late
At this point, they’re just rubbing it in. Thanks for nothing Taco Bell.
Siriously?
Note to self: never make Siri the designated driver.
I Got Nothing
Sometimes even technology doesn’t have all the answers. Maybe he needed a day off?
Playing Coy
Another instance in which Siri was not the personal assistant we pay her to be. What is she hiding?
Monet? No Way
Let’s leave the restoration of family heirlooms to the professionals. Or maybe just buy a new glass bird online.
The Road Less Traveled By
I love a good guessing game. Time to flip a coin!
Blown Cover
Not all press is good press. Here’s hoping that this lady’s time at the job fair was fruitful.
Plan B
There are multiple steps you could take in the instance of a zombie apocalypse (obviously depending on the type of zombies you’re dealing with) so this is just plain unhelpful.
Morning Rush
This transit worker thought that painting a new subway line at 9:30 AM on a Wednesday would be a good plan.
If his goal was to decorate the entire station in yellow footprints, he certainly succeeded.
Your Choice!
Aren’t gyms supposed to motivate you to live your best, healthiest life?
Is there an option where you get to have both?
Fear The Unknown
By close, they mean the close of our time on this earth. The close of mankind. They are always open. Always awake. Always watching.
Thanks Ted
This guy thought he would turn on English subtitles so he could understand a TED Talk he was watching. Needless to say, it didn’t help much.
They Tried
But…but how do you read the book if you can’t…you know what, I feel like this is a fight that I just won’t win.
Too Real
A mother bought this spider toy to teach her kids about bugs, but accidentally ended up scaring them senseless. This will likely come up in therapy later.
Not Today Jenna
Ah, Jenna. You tried to help, but made things so, so much worse. You’re only human Jenna.
Banana Water
This woman’s co-worker created this concoction after being asked to make ‘fruit infused water’ for customers.
I’ll pass, thanks.
Finish Line
He’s technically correct, as the finish line is probably within sight. However, if I saw that sign, I’d sprint in the other direction.
Lending A Hand
This guy’s friend accidentally handed him peppermint essential oil drops instead of eye drops, which is likely the absolute worst way to progress that situation. It’s the thought that counts?
They just wanted to provide some good family fun at their kid’s birthday party.
Instead, they received what appears to be a very sad excuse for a Spongebob Squarepants character costume.
They definitely could have DIYed that.
Using fresh chickpeas is always better than using canned ones. But in this case, they should probably just stick to canned chickpeas.
This is why you soak them in a bowl, not in a container.
Another lesson learned.
This girl wanted to look like her favorite My Little Pony character for Hallowe’en.
This face paint is a lot better than I could have ever done, tbh.
A valiant effort, but unfortunately, a big miss.
This woman spent $60 to look like the photo on the left for Hallowe’en.
Maybe the issue is that the woman in the reference photo is turned to the side?
I know, I’m just trying to find the silver lining.
Most of us know what a half up half down hairstyle is, but we really take that knowledge for granted.
I mean, it is half up half down. Can you really blame the mother?
You would think with such a simple design you could go to any tattoo artist and come out with a very similar tattoo.
I guess that’s not the case for this tattoo artist.
It’s like I see it, but just no.
Oftentimes our friends and family tell us to embellish our resumes a bit, but I don’t think this is what they mean.
“Mastered” can mean anything, really. I guess it’s time for his friend to practice “Hot Cross Buns” a few times.
One of the best parts of attending a wedding is waiting for the photos of us to come back so we can cherish the good memories forever.
It’s clear who the photographer was really looking at in this photo, and it wasn’t the guy on the right who is trapped in a vase.
This hair stylist really wanted to use this reference photo as an opportunity to bring chunky highlights back.
Yes, 2000s style is making a comeback, but this hairstyle is one we want to leave in the past forever.
