We all know you’re supposed to laugh with people, never at people.
That said, sometimes you’ve just gotta laugh. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to be empathetic. It just means that sometimes something so hilarious happens that it demands laughter.

“I guess plumbing isn’t for everyone.”
I could almost excuse this if the drawing was unclear, but look at that drawing and tell me it doesn’t make things super obvious. I guess this shower will be great at draining water that’s over a certain depth.
“Man gets a tattoo he found on his pup, not knowing it means he’s neutered.”

I legit feel bad for this dude. Getting a tattoo in solidarity with his dog is a very sweet thing to do. He just should have done his research.
“My submission for dumbest way to injure yourself: I burnt my hand taking tomato soup out of the microwave. The toast I was making popped up and it scared me.”
This is, indeed, a dumb way to injure yourself. But if you can say that you’ve never experienced a dumb kitchen injury, you’re probably lying.
“I think I left a window open last night, not sure.”
When you leave you windows open during rainy or snowy weather, you’re playing a dangerous game. Or maybe if you’re into the whole winter wonderland aesthetic, this indoor snow is just what you wanted.
“Never stick your head in a hole on a tree to ‘just see what’s in it.'”
Is this a person or a dog? I mean, it looks like a person, but sticking your head in a tree only to get blasted with porcupine needles is a total dog move.
“My wife said measure the door, I told her all doors are the same size…”
I made this mistake once. My bedroom door at a place I was renting made weird noises, so I threw it out and bought a new door. Turns out the new door wasn’t the right size.
“Today I was extremely sad and I thought ‘I can’t wait to go home and see my cat, he will make me happy.’ Okay well I found out he was more depressed than me.”
Maybe this cat is just feeling depressed because his owner is so bummed out.
“Lost my wallet three days ago, finally ordered new cards and then…”
When you lose something, there are so many potential nooks and crannies in the typical home that finding it feels like an impossibility. Sometimes, you have to give up on ever finding it in order to randomly find it.
“Meanwhile in Philly…”
What kind of monster puts a boot on a school bus? Even if the bus was illegally parked or whatever, it seems like its mission of taking kids to school is more important than any parking ticket.
“I now remember that yesterday I wanted a cool soda.”
Don’t act like you’ve never done this, because you totally have. It’s for this reason that I won’t put any drinks in my freezer without setting a timer on my phone first.
“My wife made me an alligator pancake.”
I kind of see what she was going for here. You can see the long snout and the eyeballs, even if it might look a little more like something else. In any event, pancakes are pancakes.
“Their flight left two hours ago.”
I don’t know about you, but I guard my passport more carefully than life itself when I’m travelling. I guess some people just casually leave it in the airport washroom. It’s a tough break for sure.
“Good help is hard to find.”
Signs are in place for wayfinding or instructional purposes. They’re here to make our lives easier. In some cases, though, signs are bound to leave you with more questions than you started with.
“Came home late from work, drop my open sandwhich in the parking lot. Go to make pasta, the first pot slips and I pour it all on the ground.”
“Make a second pot and the handle straight up breaks and my pasta goes everywhere. Didn’t eat; had a lil cry.”
Sometimes, the universe just doesn’t want to give you a break. Pour one out for OP.
“Irish Garda tries to reason with a swan.”
Speaking as someone who was chased and attacked by a swan as a toddler, I want to tell this officer that there’s no reasoning with swans. They’re evil, bloodthirsty beasts and the rules simply do not apply to them.
“In-laws invited us over for dinner; it was a trap.”
I don’t mind putting together furniture that’s intended for my place, but I have a strict rule against helping others. I now also have a rule against getting tricked into it.
“The plan was simple. (1) Set the camera timer. (2) Join my wife in the hammock.”
Plans may be simple, but even the most straightforward, best laid plans can go off the rails surprisingly quickly. This is especially true when said plans involve hammocks.
“Got my toddler new shoes over the weekend. He just threw one of them into the fireplace.”
If you value something, don’t hand it to a toddler. Their instinct to just throw stuff that winds up in their hands is a strong one.
“Been waiting six weeks for a rather expensive toilet so we can fit it at a client’s house, it has finally arrived.”
To be fair, they received the toilet. They received every part of it. The unfortunate thing is that, like Humpty Dumpty, it will never be put back together again.
“I’m a solar roofer, and we are required to wear gloves while we work…..it’s only May.”
Roofing is hot work and sunburns are inevitable. I suppose solar roofing is no different in that regard, with the caveat that the gloves requirement is bound to lead to some weird tan lines.
