16+ People Who Messed Up So We Didn’t Have To

Nothing can help you grow more as a person quite like learning from your own mistakes and the mistakes of others. And, sometimes, these mistakes can be incredibly weird and specific.

So, from people who ate weird things in the desert to individuals who used beans for the oddest of ends, here are 17+ times people made mistakes so we didn't have to!

"It was a different time..."

Ah library paste, that old thing...that I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

"Finished the graphics boss!"

"So, you really don't see the issue here?"

"Nope, I think I did a bang up job!"

"Dave, open the door please."

"Okay, I don't see what that will... Oh, crap."

"A buddy of mine seemed to think stick sun screen was a good idea."

Well, stick sunscreen is a good idea...just so long as you don't use it like an absolute bonehead!

"Our municipality made bike lanes for us finally! Maybe it's for some sweet jumps?"

The fact that they even painted it the same color as the rest of the pathway is just adding insult to injury. Incredible work.

The Thought Was There...

I genuinely cannot focus on the cock-up here as this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cakes I have ever seen in my life. Damn it Bev, share the wealth!

"Well, it is that time of year."

This sounds like something that someone who just ate cicadas and wants someone else to make the same mistake would say!

"Fixed the tire boss."

Did they just happen to have a plane wheel lying around? If not, I can imagine that there is a somewhat startled pilot somewhere.

"The important thing is that it does not collapse!"

Someone didn't feel the need to use a ruler. I can imagine that living opposite this building would be unbearable.

"Why would the back pain relief be on the bottom shelf?"

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Other people just want to watch people with sore backs burn.

"All these new lockdown rules are going a bit too far."

Oh so I can't even take my chainsaw to the beach for an ice cream any more? Christ, this world is going to the dogs!

"C'mon, Andrea...HE HAS BEANS!"

Do they really love you Andrea, or do they just want someone to eat beans with? Don't fall for this Andrea, it's the oldest trick in the book!

"Learn from my mistakes..."

The same terrible thing can happen if you mess around playing with an anti-venom kit in a pub...not that this has ever happened to me.

"Doors on the second floor are supposed to be inside the house."

Now I hate people knocking on my door, so this seems like a perfect place to put a front door!

"She learned the hard way not to hire a cheap barber from craigslist."

I mean, she got layers that's for sure. The fact that they're truly ghastly layers is beside the point!

"Too much bright side."

I actually much prefer this mat to what it was intended to be! Where can I get one of these nihilistic rugs?!

"I wanna meet the kid that learned the hard way with this one..."

If the kid who went down this slide didn't have claustrophobia before they went in, then they will have developed it by the time they got out!

"Nothing but net..."

"I put in a basketball hoop for the local kids today."

"But, you hate kids?"

"You haven't seen the hoop!"

"Worst. Chill spot. Ever."

This cat clearly likes to live on the edge...or under it. I feel like it is saying, "Go on, try it, I dare you!"

"Seems legit."

Now, I've gone into some stupid places under the pretence of them being portals to magical worlds in my time, but even I can see that this is a trick!

"First day of work after 2 weeks staycation. My car seemingly is a bird favorite."

Jesus wept. Were all of the birds in this person's business just holding in their defecations all fortnight for this guy to come back to work?
