There are a lot of people out there who try their hardest to make a positive difference in the world, but just end up making things a little worse by accident.
So, from dentists who wanted to try and calm children down but scared them more than ever, to horrifically insensitive charity drives, here are 14+ times people meant well, but caused more harm than good!
These things are supposed to make kids feel calmer at the dentist, but these nightmarish creatures would give me nightmares as a kid! In fact, they might still as an adult.
This is likely to scare more people away than anything. And, the kind of people that this sign does attract won't be looking for a church service!
Christ, it looks like this photo might have been the thing to push this poor guy to the edge of a mental breakdown!
The person who green-lit this message to go on the electronic board really needs a lesson in punctuation.
And now she will never trust anything that you say again! Still, probably worth it for this hilarious picture.
I know that a lot of people are very excited at the prospect of a gravy hot tub, but you need to be careful. Each year, countless people die from drowning in gravy hot tubs, it's a terrible way to go.
You can't give people false hope like this! Urinals lack the ability to grant such gifts!
Yeah, I'd just go right ahead and avoid going near this park altogether if I were you. Unless you're a cannibal, in which case this is probably right up your street.
Thankfully, the person who posted this did go on to say that it made them laugh, so they saw the funny side of it at least!
"Did you adopt?"
"No, we baked ours at home."
"Wait...what?"
It would be even better if you did this on the bananas in the supermarket so that the message showed up when a stranger got them home.
"Well, at least you didn't make the plaque, eh doc?"
"Actually I did, plaque making is my real passion. Open heart surgery is just a hobby really. Anyway, nighty night!"
"Wait..."
It doesn't sound like they're really that sorry, it sounds more like they're still angry at the other kid having thought they were three!
I reckon that they still get a ridiculous amount of people turning the dial to high and then wondering why it's not keeping anything cold.
The thing that I find most distressing about this is that she is wearing Nike trainers in the ocean! Why?
This does now look a little more like something out of The Shining, which probably isn't what they wanted really.
"Dave, I can see that you're very pleased with yourself. However, we're worried that the flyer might be a little too..."
"Ingenious?!"
"No, insensitive."
In fairness, this is exactly the kind of mistake that I would expect of someone who would think it was a good idea to paint their car like this in the first place.
Ah yes, grass, that famously wonderful surface to skateboard on! I wonder how much use this "skate park" actually gets.
This poor little child was just trying to bake the dog into a bigger "bread" of dog so that he could go to the "large bread dog park."
