There are a lot of people who just seem incapable of catching a break in life , as well as those who just seem to miss the obvious course of action when it is right in front of their eyes.
Bearing this in mind, have a healthy dose of schadenfreude by giggling and gasping at these 30 times people missed the boat along with every other mode of transport.
“A student of mine handed this in today.”
The fact that this is the “one time” they have tried with doing homework is a bit of a weird thing to admit as well. I wonder if the teacher did still text to make sure that this wasn’t a really bold ploy on Parker’s behalf.
“This parking lot at my grandparents’ house.”
It does kind of seem as though they just got people to park wherever they wanted and then they drew the lines in around the cars. What were they thinking with number 3 as well?!
“Went out on a boat without sunscreen today and now I have what I am calling ‘the bib of pain.'”
Okay, so they didn’t exactly “miss” the boat as such, but the act of making it onto the boat was where their misfortune lay! Well…that and the fact of forgetting the sunscreen.
“When you forget it’s paving day.”
I’d have assumed that the people paving the car park would have just had this car towed away? I am amazed that it is still there! This person has their own special spot now at least.
“Now I no longer have a complete knife set.”
What kind of donut uses a knife as a pry bar though? What did they really expect to happen when they attempted this? An incomplete knife set all because they wanted to get the top off a pumpkin.
“Seen on a Jukebox in Dallas…”
Pfft, there is no way that you can stop the ear-bleeding onslaught of Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You! No one has the power to put an end to that horrifying tune, not even God himself.
So Close, Yet So Far.
“I live on a low income and have been looking for used skates. I found an incredible deal while at a thrift store in a city about 3hrs from me. Once I got them home I realized why they were so cheap… Apparently the owner had one leg that is 1-1/4″ shorter,” wrote the person who posted this.
“Dunkin’ Donuts Has No Donuts!?”
Maybe this is why they are really pushing to just be called “Dunkin’,” they knew that the donut purge was coming and adapted in accordance. They could have at least let the rest of us know that the big donut drought was on the horizon though!
“Looks as though it might be toast for breakfast today!”
Yep, that is a snake that has made itself home in this person’s packet of Rice Crispies. This person also went on to say that it is not a pet snake that got loose, it’s just a random snake.
Just, Please, Make Him Stop!
This is just making my skin crawl. Although, this is definitely the sort of mistake that you only make once in your life. I mean, if you make it twice then you are beyond help!
“In high school my friend got two pictures in the yearbook by pretending to be his own twin brother.”
I admire what he did here, but I think that he really should have gone for triplets. Sure, it would have been a lot riskier, but it would have been spectacular.
RELATED STORIES
“I am lost for words right now…”
Why do some teachers seem to relish the chance to make some kids hate being in the education system? Also the student’s handwriting is far more legible than the teachers when you look at it!
“Tried to save a few trees and bought a silicone ‘cotton swab.’ Guess who’s in urgent care because the other end is stuck in his ear?”
I can assume that the doctor’s first words of advice were, “You really shouldn’t be putting things like this in your ear in the first place!”
“Anyone lose their boat on I 90?”
The person who owns this boat quite literally missed their boat falling off the back of their truck. I bet that this was an expensive thing to leave behind, not something that is easily stolen though.
“I guess that I’m not taking out the trash tonight.”
It is always a damn shame when you see that someone has thrown away a perfectly sound racoon. Some people really need to start having more respect for their possessions!
Hmmm, It Didn’t Turn Out Exactly As Planned!
Is the tiny bat-signal for tiny little crimes being perpetuated by tiny little villains, hence why they need to call tiny little Batman? I really hope so, I always thought that the worst thing about the Batman movies was the scale.
“Doing an install at a customers house found and these on the drop ceiling in the basement. Anybody wanna guess what’s on them?”
This is probably an entire series of 90s children’s cartoons that the previous tenant was keeping as safe as possible. I hope you didn’t think that it was anything else!
“Husband tried to apologize for some stuff by making me a candlelit bath. The glass container was a little too spicy for the plastic bathtub.”
I have never seen anyone melt a bathtub before by accident. Although, I have seen a lot of people melting the plastic casing of their TVs!
“I managed to melt my son’s toothbrush after taking a dump.”
Well, thanks goodness it was the candle that caused this toothbrush to melt. I didn’t see the candle at first and was very worried about the state of this man’s insides!
“I think I just lost my AirPod…”
Looks like someone will be needing to order a bit of string and a magnet! There is nothing quite like the exhilarating experience of magnet fishing! It’s the most extreme sport there is!
“What’s left of the chopping board I melted after preheating the oven. I’m tipsy so this is funny for now…”
I am assuming that the fact they are tipsy is also how this managed to happen. There is something about this that looks like a modern art piece though, so congratulations!
This Person’s Neighbours Must Have Been Incredibly Close To Calling The Police!
Although, this does seem like the sort of thing that a murderer would put on their door in order to avert suspicion from the noises in their apartment, just saying.
“School’s basement hallway.”
They should at least have tried to paint some fish into it to make it look even more like a swimming pool. Also, the person who polished this floor is doing an incredible job, they need a pay rise!
“A urinal in Germany with a full length mirror for inspecting other dude’s junk.”
I have seen a lot of bad urinal designs in my time, but this has got to be amongst the absolute worst! The designer really dropped the ball here.
“Now I’m not an expert on anatomy but I’m pretty sure this isn’t a collar bone.”
I love how annoyed the model looks in the picture. They look as though they know exactly how stupid the packaging mistake is and are saying, “Seriously?”
“An unfortunate logo for a fitness center.”
Was that really the best place for them to put the logo of the little running fella? This just comes across more like a really unnecessary diss now, which is not what I need from a gym okay?!
Iron Man Isn’t Looking Too Hot…
The Iron Man fan who tried to make this wrote:
“Spent two weeks 3D printing and painting this motorized iron man helmet for Halloween. Accidentally left it in my car during the day and it deformed beyond repair.”
“These address numbers seem a bit confusing.”
“It’s definitely 6869 because the head of the 8 is always smaller,” wrote one person. However, if you were driving passed this you would not exactly want to be studying it that closely!
They Really Missed The Point…
The person who posted this wrote:
“A blind person stopped me and asked for help crossing the road, the curb ramps in our city made no sense to her. After crossing with me she understood & explained: the ramps and tactile paving lead unsighted pedestrians directly into the intersection instead of into crosswalks.”
“I was trying to microwave milk…”
Look, they still managed to microwave it. However, getting it off that dish and into a better receptacle might prove to be a bit of a challenge. Unless they just drink it straight from the plate?
