If there’s one thing that’s a universal truth, it’s the fact that every single one of us will occasionally make a boneheaded decision.
While it may be embarrassing in the moment, we can at least take solace that we’re hardly the only ones who ever needed to get a clue.
RELATED STORIES
“Found this old picture at my grandfather’s place and I am amazed.”
It’s an old picture, so there’s a decent chance this has been rectified in the years since. I wonder how many crashes this caused.
“Yee-haw, a violin!”
I know there’s some debate over whether it’s called a violin or a fiddle, but that’s an argument for another time. All we can be certain of is that it isn’t a guitar.
“Something doesn’t seem right here.”
This pictogram appears to show a swimmer, but it might just show someone jumping into a haze of cigarette smoke.
“I’m currently in hiding for having a sandwich in my room. Help.”
This is the kind of sign that can lead to an existential crisis. If I’m not to eat inside or outside the store, where in the universe can I eat?
“Crosswalk in Romania.”
If you’ve ever wanted to cross directly into a concrete wall underneath a steep embankment, with no shoulder, this is the crosswalk for you.
“Our toolbox sheets come pre-filled out. Everyone is fit for duty, all the time, no matter what.”
This really seems like the kind of thing that’ll get somebody in trouble eventually — whether it’s with the safety authorities, or with landing someone in the hospital.
“Contractor in our company.”
It’s immensely frustrating when the ladder you’re using isn’t quite tall enough, but when this happens, it’s probably better to find a longer ladder than it is to improvise.
“Watched a guy standing on the hole he was drilling out during an open air remodel.”
Clearly this guy has never watched Saturday morning cartoons, because this is exactly the kind of thing that makes Wile E. Coyote a laughingstock.
“I wonder why.”
If you’re an online content creator, you occasionally need to utilize clipart. That’s fine! Just make sure the image actually makes sense.
“Counted four times to be sure, found at a local drug store.”
Maybe the seventh piece of this knife set is the packaging it comes in. Either way, this doesn’t seem like a particularly high-end brand.
“Walked past this today.”
Here we go with the ladder mishaps again. I wonder if someone’s at the top of the ladder, or if they’ve already fallen and been taken to the hospital.
“Ah yes, he is thirst.”
Lots of kids’ competitions and sports leagues are moving away from declaring winners and losers. Perhaps this hybrid award is an example of that.
“A box of tomatoes labeled as blueberries.”
It would be one thing if tomatoes and blueberries looked similar, but it’s hard to think of two pieces of produce that look more dissimilar.
“Tricky Amazon product.”
You’ve gotta love the lazy approach here. The middle sections of cord are just concentric circles that attach to nothing but themselves.
“Not sure who this is meant to keep out.”
It’s all well and good to have a gate, but you kind of need a fence attached to it for the gate to have any meaning.
“It’s hurting my eyes.”
I can hardly hold this against the retail employee who put up the display. I’ve worked those jobs, and sometimes you’re just not paid enough to care.
“This isn’t even close to correct.”
This isn’t a matter of the labels and colors just being mixed up, because there’s no color dot that matches ‘golden’ or, uh, ‘rose glod.’
“Don’t think that’s how you install a curved shower bar…”
If you want the kind of shower curtain that constantly droops in the middle, this actually would be the correct way to install the rod.
“Family photos.”
This is parenting in a nutshell: your kids will have stupid beef, you won’t understand why, and realize it’s best to just ignore it for the time being.
“If you do it outside you don’t need respirators, right?”
I love how willing the guy on the right is to get covered with spray paint. A piece of cardboard would have made this so much easier.
