Everyone makes mistakes . Most of the time, if you fall down, you can shake yourself off and start over. But sometimes, you might need a bit of extra help .
All I can say about the people in this list is, you should see them as examples of what not to do in life. We all learn from our mistakes, and the mistakes of others too!
RELATED STORIES
“Accidentally rolled over it with my desk chair…”
You know when you drop something valuable and you think, “I’ll pick it up later”? Don’t do it later. Do it as soon as possible so you won’t end up crushing it.
“Repairman at a Subway.”
Just looking at this is making my neck hurt. Hopefully this guy ended up coming back down by choice, and not because gravity decided to call him back.
Still, don’t do this. Taller stools (and ladders!) exist.
“I guess I pulled too hard… right before I have to go in to work too.”
I guess the moral of the story here is… don’t tie your shoes too hard?
At least you can probably still wear a shoe with broken laces.
This guy’s driving has really gone down the toilet…
I feel like this should go without saying but, if you’re thinking of transporting a port-a-potty like this… maybe don’t.
According to the comment section, this is the city of Edmonton being oh so classy.
“I burnt my food this morning, the smoke alarms went off at 5:30AM, my family was not happy.”
Yeah… if you’re going to cook yourself breakfast at 5:30 in the morning, you should probably take care not to burn anything. Tall order that early in the day, though.
“Thought I was done washing dishes and went to pull the plug…turns out I missed a mason jar lid.”
It can be kind of tricky to see if your sink full of soapy water is empty. I guess make sure you wash the mason jar lids first — and one at a time, because they’re the perfect size to be a huge pain pulling out of the drain.
“Yeah, that’s not the safest I’ve seen.”
Just when you thought you’d seen the most dangerous thing ever… this guy goes and one ups everyone else on the list. I’m gonna go ahead and assume he made it down fine, because I don’t even want to think of the alternative.
“Last time I trust the handles on a paper bag.”
I don’t want to be that person but… I really don’t think those paper grocery bags were meant to hold 5 pound bags of flour. In fact, no bag is.
“Went to grind some salt on my breakfast and this happened.”
As bad as that is, I don’t think that food is completely ruined. Like, you could probably scrape most of that salt off. It might be a little saltier than usual, though.
“Tried to straighten a bill to get a Doctor Pepper from a vending machine.”
It just goes to show you that no matter what country you’re from, you will always risk ripping money if you pull on it too hard.
“Mistakes were made.”
Something tells me that truck driver was having a pretty bad day. But luckily, it looks like the truck is just stuck, and no one got hurt. The cars on the back look fine, too.
“Didn’t get his caffeine fix yet.”
Oh man, it definitely looks like somebody went for a morning drive without any coffee in their system. The weirdest mistakes are always made before people have their morning coffees, ironically.
“Big flames under a canopy at Traeger Demo Day.”
Big barbecue flames and canopy tents definitely don’t mix. I honestly can’t see how this doesn’t end with them having to shut the place down because the tent caught on fire.
“Ran out of fuel 10km out of town. Thought I could make it lol.”
This just goes to show you that the low fuel warning in your car is no joke. You better fuel up if you don’t want to end up stranded in the middle of nowhere.
“Ball got punctured by the only spike in a tree.”
What’s the lesson here? Don’t play sports. Just kidding… I think it would actually be more along the lines of watch where you throw something. Or just practice your aim more.
“Heard a loud bang while heating up my lunch. Turns out my food exploded in the microwave.”
You have to be pretty careful when it comes to microwaves. Leave something in for a second too long, and you’re gonna have to clean it off the walls.
“Yes, that’s a chainsaw. No, they didn’t have anyone on the sidewalk below warning of falling debris.”
This is about a thousand accidents waiting to happen. Like, everything about this is so unsafe, it’s stressing me out from behind my screen.
“After several days without my glasses, an eye exam, and overnight shipping on new glasses; I found them tangled in a cable under my desk…”
I want to say that you should make sure you’ve checked everywhere before you go out and order new glasses. But like, who would’ve thought they’d be there ?
“I really should’ve tied my hair together. Still have much left but damn that hurt.”
I can almost feel this picture. But honestly, this is actually why you’re supposed to tie your hair back when you use drills and other power tools.
“When you’re the new guy and there’s not enough room in the truck:”
Something about this just… doesn’t seem safe. Like, I’m not in construction or anything, but I still feel like there are rules against this kind of stuff.
