People put a lot of stock in the idea that if you work hard things will go well for you. However, everyone who isn’t a delusional simpleton knows that this is complete balderdash and your hard work will never pay off!
And, with this idea in mind, here are 15+ times we went, “If at first you don’t succeed, give up!”
RELATED STORIES
“This Flintstones statue…”
Yabadabadon’t bother next time is the message that I am getting from this monstrosity!
“Happened to a friend, she was almost finished.”
One absolute genius suggested that they should still put it on a pedestal and place a piece of glass right up against it. I mean, it’d still look stupid, but it would be funny!
Pivot!
Due to how embarrassing this situation is, I’m glad that they took the time to protect their dog’s identity!
When The Gym Routine Goes By The Wayside…
I love going to the gym. My favorite exercise is the one where you lift the Chicken McNuggets up to your mouth in reps of 20!
“I guess this means we’re done swinging for the day…”
I know for a fact that if my dad had done this when I was a kid, that he would have carefully balanced it back together then told me to have a go on it and watched as I fell right through it.
Just Give Up!
Now this is the kind of message that I can get on board with! It is suitably nihilistic and I can resonate with that!
They Gave Up At The First Stop!
I have no idea what the point of this is, and I’m sure people will have some amazing insight, but it surely can’t be that useful for anything?!
“Looks like someone put too much soap in the washing machine.”
“So, when I told you to wash our clothes and mow the lawn…”
“Look, all I’m gonna say is, you don’t want to see the state of our clothes.”
They Tried Their Best…
I can’t see a bright career in the culinary arts ahead for this person! Maybe with practice, but that takes a lot of work and who can be bothered?!
“Saw these girls at IKEA. What were they thinking?”
It’s also not cheap getting delivery! They’d better find a way to turn this car into a Tardis or else they’re gonna have to fork out a lot of cash!
“Here’s a shirt my sister bought from an Asian store… It just gets worse as it goes.”
Part of the trick to writing things like these is making sore thet a start si coract, than u cna doo watuver ahg seeo pa.
“Nothing like the smell of coffee and a good eye-stab in the morning.”
Your morning cup of coffee is meant to get you ready for the day ahead, not blind you!
“Never give up on your dreams…”
You know what? This is the one dream that I really think no one should ever give up. This is how I want to go out of this world: carried off into the sunset by owls, never to be seen again.
“One of my professors thought the screen was a whiteboard…”
That is the face of a man who knows that he has made a huge mistake, and that he is going to be having a fair few angry phone calls from the head of his department!
“They tried their best to drive across the frozen lake.”
I suppose it’s quite good that you can see the footprints leading away from the hole! This must have been an incredibly terrifying experience!
“Leather Shop Opens After 53 Days Of Quarantine Only To Find All Of Their Products Had Molded.”
There were a few people who suggested that they may be able to salvage these items… However, the idea of that makes me feel sick.
“DIY fail!”
I hope this person bought their cat a pair of moon shoes in order to be able to jump through that little hole!
“How am I supposed to wash my hands?”
You can see the germ of a good idea in this (get it, germ…)! However, they have just managed to make this dispenser completely unusable.
“I guess that air pressure limit on your tire actually has a point.”
There would be no way that I would be going near that thing. It looks so close to blowing! I don’t need a load of rubber in my eye…which I think is a perfectly reasonable thing to say!
This Truly Unfortunate Series Of Events…
This person explained, “I once signed a ‘funny’ signature, then the computer froze and I had to explain to the three employees that no, my name isn’t Poop Mouth and no, I don’t know why I wrote that, and please just take my money so I can go home and die.”
“My [friend’s] mother thought that the croissants would just roll themselves up while cooking…”
Apparently this is a more common occurrence than you may think, as a lot of people shared their own experiences of roommates and family members doing this!
“My husband tried cutting his hair by himself.”
I guess that you could say he did succeed as he did actually cut the hair. However, he did it — and I cannot stress this enough — catastrophically badly.
“Security tried to get this cat out of my local supermarket. They failed.”
And that is how this cat became the manager of this local store. Just look at its smug face. It knows it has all of the power here!
“Confusing cafe in Korea.”
I mean, it’s a better attempt than the translation job on that t-shirt earlier in the list, but it’s still far from accurate!
“120 mile solo hike. Asked an elderly passerby to take a photo for me. He struggled enough with the touch screen that I didn’t ask him to take another.”
In fairness, this is a much funnier picture than you would have gotten had he taken it properly!
“I guess their feelings weren’t mutual”
Somewhere, in a bar near this scene, there is a very crestfallen person chugging tequila and wine.
“Trying to have a plate of ramen.”
It is actually impressive that they managed to break this plate so neatly! They must have some strong thumbs to have pulled it off like that!
That’s Unfortunate…
Well, that’s the rest of your evening ruined! Way to drain the fun out of a night out…
*Drunk cricket sounds
“My new sim card got delivered. At least now i know what this is called.”
I always preferred to call it “thing I will most definitely lose and attempt to replace with a paperclip or the lead of a mechanical pencil.”
That’s One Way To Advertise!
And I can’t deny it would work either. It’s kind of related too. Surely if he does lawn care, he’ll tackle your weeds!
Barely Davidson.
This is a “dress for the job you want, not the job you have” type of situation.
“Wife left the gloves to dry, I almost had a heart attack.”
It seems all those lost socks finally joined together to create something truly terrifying.
“Hello, stupidest thing I’ve ever done.”
What was the original goal here? If you wanted to mix peanut butter, surely a spoon would do just fine?
“My mom found one of my old tests from almost 20 years ago.”
This is a really restrictive question to start with. A grandfather being, say, 80 isn’t “about” 50, and it’s even less about 500!
“My money!”
Ooft, yeah, that’s a rough discovery. The day that someone first meets the taxman is the day that person becomes an adult!
“That’s it…I’m done..I am done buying things for my cat.”
If you buy something with the thought of “my cat would look cute in this” or “I think they’d like it,” it’s almost guaranteed they’ll never use it.
Haha, Whoops.
“No need to worry, officers, we’re just screaming over ice cream! Like real, normal people do!”
A Tough Choice.
If the only thing that gets you to drive in the correct lane is the threat of being smashed by a semi, maybe you shouldn’t be driving.
“The most dad thing my dad has ever done.”
Some parents treat the thermostat more preciously and with more care than their own children.
“Almost. Not quite.”
Maybe I’m biased, but Hawaiian pizza deserves the disrespect of being misspelled. It’s the devil’s work.
“My mom is absolutely done with people stealing food in her office.”
As she should be! What kind of wacko do you have to be to fully steal someone else’s food from a work fridge? Shame on you.
“My almost 3 year old son, nailing hide and seek.”
At a certain age, every child must learn the important message of “if I can’t see them, maybe they can still see me.”
“Finally finished almost a [years’] worth of serious work on my undergraduate thesis in geology, I needed to do something fun with it.”
I was going to say surely you could have found a better rock pun than that, but you just finished your thesis, so I’ll cut you some slack.
“Almost empty diary found at rummage sale.”
This is the one thing this kid felt was pressing enough to write in their diary before never touching it again. Xaive must have been really weird.
“Didn’t know the shop had a barber on tap.”
Christ, this is making my eyes water just thinking about it. You can still see the regret in his eyes. I wonder how long it was before he went back on that saw.
