In fairness, kindergarten is the place to be making these kinds of adorable mistakes! When you do it as an adult, it just gets embarrassing!
“Social ‘Distancing’!”
This reminds me very much of the Dr. Seuss story of the North-Going Zax and the South-Going Zax.
“Put up the billboard boss, got the words on it like you asked!”
Never underestimate the power of words, and in this instance that is meant slightly more literally.
“Maybe they should [have] put the couple’s story on the next page, just a thought!”
Jesus Christ, that is definitely not a newspaper that you would want your family and friends to see at a glance if you were this couple!
“My neighbor has just covered his car with actual blue jeans.”
And I thought that buying a Smart car in the first place was a bad enough decision, but this person has outdone every expectation!

If there was no one on hand to shout, “Duck!” as it went under the bridge then everyone involved ought to be ashamed of themselves…well, more so.

I mean, it looks pretty clear that the coastguard, police, fire, and ambulance departments are looking for easy days at work!

Yeah, don’t be thinking of nicking anything from this shop as it will really change your life’s direction.
I Think They Meant The Date…
It looks like a very nice ceiling, I guess, so maybe they just wanted to draw attention to it a bit?
“That’s not how it works.”
I’d certainly be hiding from whoever it is that put this family tree together. They have some… strange ideas.
“Just closed on my first property. Bought the land, built the house ourselves.”
This is what I imagine people would be driving if they set Mad Max in the British countryside.
“Looks permanent to me.”
Duct tape can be pretty damn permanent…well, if you take my unique approach to DIY it can be anyway.

Get that flattened with a stack of books, stat! This person went on to add that “it totally could have fit in the mailbox unfolded,” which just adds insult to injury.
“My daughter’s little shapes book. Pentagon?”
I wouldn’t be correcting the kid though, let them just grow up to one day be baffled by the concept of a starfish.

That is one hell of a non-stick pan. I love that the moment of realization has yet to have dawned on him here!

So, are people just supposed to scream the building down until someone upstairs hears them or what?

There is no reason for these kids to look this terrifying. None at all.

This is genuinely infuriating. How are the owners not scrambling to get it widened that extra few inches?

This is funny, yes, but why was this drawn on your bathroom mirror to begin with?

That tiny sliver of countertop would have fit a coffee machine perfectly if it weren’t for that pesky stove.
