30 Things That Worked Out Surprisingly Well

Sometimes it feels like absolutely nothing is working out. I get that. But if everything in life worked out perfectly, would there be any satisfaction in having things work out? I think not.

If you're feeling like a square peg in a round hole, these pics should help.

Perfect.

Whoever arranged these apples, in alternating sections of red and green, did a bang-up job. If I was in this grocery store, I'd almost be afraid of picking one out and disrupting the balance.

Full spectrum.

The person who posted this says they spend a long time organizing these Orbeez. I don't know what Orbeez are.

A quick search reveals that they're "wet and wild". I don't know about that; I'm just here for the rainbow.

Not even a gap.

There's something immensely satisfying about having all of your electronics line up perfectly. This curved TV perfectly fills the space in this corner, with not even a millimetre of room to spare.

Almost a shame to eat it.

Who doesn't love those half-and-half soft serve cones? Usually they're imperfect with a tilted top threatening to collapse the whole thing, but this cone is basically the prototype for what all cones should be.

Prescription snorkeling.

If you're a glasses or contacts wearer who likes to swim, you know what it's like to open your eyes underwater and just see blurs.

In this case, a pair of prescription lenses fits snugly into these goggles.

Easy to pick up.

It's kind of gross to drop something into a dirty old puddle and have to fish it out. This coin eliminates that problem by being so light that it doesn't even break the water's surface tension.

As all things should be.

These floorboards fit nicely into Ikea bags. The bags, all fifteen of them, fit into this trailer with nary an inch to spare. I think Ikea's presence in the equation helped things work out.

Snack tray.

Lots of trucks have big trays in their center console. I've never been quite sure what those trays are actually supposed to be used for but now I have my answer.

No problem.

Regular vacuum cleaners — and even Roombas — have a lot of trouble in tight spaces like this. It turns out the solution is having a vacuum head that follows the exact same dimensions as your floor.

Collector problems.

This guy bought a sarcophagus online, as one does. He didn't measure the space but somehow he just knew that the nook in his wall was perfectly sarcophagus-sized.

Made for each other.

I find this pic so satisfying. It's like this guy has been playing standup bass for so long that the instrument has become the yin to his gut's yang.

Follow the rainbow.

Reddit | Purp_Skurp_349

When you buy a garment with a rainbow motif, you're probably doing it because you like the way it looks. There's no way you could ever plan to make it part of a literal rainbow.

Crash-through door.

Reddit | main_rabbbit

This space doesn't have a proper door but it actually has something that might be better: one of those big crash mats from gym class. It even fits perfectly.

The floor is made of money.

Reddit | rk0r

This is one of those awesome DIY projects that I'd be sure to mess up. There must be a few dollars' worth of pennies on that floor but it would still cost less than tiles.

Completed.

It's a shame that the on-screen graphic cut off the top of poor Dustin Johnson's head.

Lucky for Dustin Johnson, the commentator completed the illusion with the cuff of his jacket.

How it's meant to be.

This pizzeria understands that families might argue over who gets the best slice. They've mitigated this by slicing their pies perfectly so each slice gets two pieces of pepperoni — no more, no less.

This hummingbird had a rough start to its day but it seems to be doing much better now.

As the uploader explained, it crashed into a window and then let this woman hold it until it was well enough to fly away again.

Honestly, it's lucky it survived that at all.

When this person got ordered two tacos, they somehow ended up with 19 packets of sauce to go with them.

That kind of reminds me of this one weird time some Wendy's employee forgot to give me a kid's meal and just filled my bag with like five toys instead.

The best part is that once that was corrected, I got to keep them all. And I'm guessing the lucky uploader will get as much use out of these.

When this person's insurance switched their medication, they found themselves in a position where they're supposed to take both a red and a blue pill.

I always wondered what Morpheus would think if Neo tried to take them both at once.

Those who find these anti-pigeon spikes cruel may be pleased to see what this one bird did to them.

Yup, it seems that it couldn't care less that somebody obviously didn't want it here and laughs in the face of these spikes.

And judging by the evidence under it, it's not the only pigeon the spikes failed to repel.

I guess this would have worked out even better if this person actually won but I suppose this is the next best thing.

I'm not sure I could even be mad if I lost so bad that my scratch-and-win ticket told me "ouch."

I appreciate the sympathy, if nothing else.

This wasn't the work of some twee street artist. Nature did this all on its own.

After some leaves and branches fell from the trees, the rain made these sand impressions of them.

So when the wind picked them up and carried them elsewhere, only the satisfying-looking impressions remained.

A discarded refrigerator is rarely a pretty sight but this is probably as endearing as one can be.

I know it doesn't have any feelings but I still find it hard not to feel a little sorry for this fridge. I won't pretend I can't relate.

Here we can see this man proudly showing off his first published book.

And as the uploader explained, their husband was somehow able to write this while juggling 60-hour work weeks.

It's hard to even fathom that level of commitment.

A sign in disrepair isn't usually all that noteworthy but it should be pretty easy to see why this one is so special.

It could very well be a totally flat sign that happened to disintegrate in a weird way but the results definitely make it look like the letters pop out.

Shadows work a little differently when they're passing through something translucent but the results aren't always this satisfying.

It's like this water bottle is being visited by the ghost of one of its ancestors or something. A particularly sparkly one, I guess.

Shoot your shot.

This sink is so perfectly proportioned that I wouldn't even want to use it. Like, if you didn't interrupt the flow of water, the sink itself wouldn't even get wet.

Like a window.

Reddit | LittlePeeper4Life

This rock would look nice enough on its own merits but it has to be displayed in context to really show what a great job the artist did.

The opposite of me.

Have you ever rented a U-Haul to move your stuff to a new place? If you're anything like me, the end result looked about five hundred times as chaotic as this.

Hedge pledge.

Reddit | Harveybirdman123

Look, it's a hedge on a ledge in the shape of a wedge. The only thing that would make this more perfect would be the presence of a fledge (it's a young bird). Now I'm all out of hedge rhymes.
