There's no shortage of ways to mess up in life. In fact, it's probably easier to mess up than it is to succeed. But if there's any consolation, it's that somewhere out there, someone is currently messing up far worse than you ever will.
I'm not saying we should laugh at other people who mess up. I am saying that we should at least be thankful it isn't us.
When you're looking at something you spent lots of money on, seeing it engulfed in flames is generally not ideal. That said, it's hard to feel too badly for anyone who has enough money to afford one of these yachts.
I remember learning these acrostic things in, like, kindergarten. By first grade, we all stopped doing them because they're so simple, all of the first graders had mastered them. I guess they're tough for some folks.
I like how the caption of this asks whether the driver forgot to strap it down. I mean, of course the driver forgot to strap it down. The evidence of their forgetfulness is spread all over the road.
Look, I get that the image of the water is adorned with a little four-leaf clover, but that doesn't automatically mean that the nutritional content of the water is Irish.
I'd never thought about how they put these crosswalk designs on the pavement. Having just one bar as a stencil and repeating the design makes sense, but only if the person doing the painting is on their game.
This could be considered something short of a total failure, if only because the light is still (dimly) visible. Still, it's an odd aesthetic choice. Maybe just put the lights on the ceiling, rather than under the ceiling next time.
Here's a little life tip I've learned: if you've pre-heated an oven and are about to put a frozen pizza in there, don't let any of the frozen cheese or other toppings fall on the hot oven door.
Why? No reason.
We expect to see janky electrical connections on old or no-name electronics, but this is a freakin' PS5. We should be able to plug in our next-gen controllers without being afraid the house will burn down.
Seen one way, this logo looks like two things coming together and then shooting skyward — a perfect logo for a company called Ascend.
Seen the more obvious way, though, it's obviously an arrow pointing down.
If you're designing bucket seats that are going to be placed outside in the elements, it isn't too complicated. Just put some holes in the seat so they can drain properly. Perhaps this image can serve as a cautionary tale.
With spotlights and colorful tiles, swimming pools can be made to look purple, or red, or orange. Yellow is a nice color and all, but it just doesn't work in this context.
Centigrade and Fahrenheit do get closer and closer the colder it gets. But that doesn't explain what's going on with this thermometer. Maybe it's developed a new hybrid temperature system, and we're all too dumb to realize it.
To be fair, this guy just walked into a washroom with an obvious pictogram of a woman, thinking it was the men's room. Then again, if he was only looking at the text, it kind of makes sense.
This intersection is an absolute disaster of urban planning. Do the city planners of Fontana, California know about roundabouts? They're not just for the British anymore! A roundabout would probably fix this problem.
The world is tough enough for people with vision impairments. One thing they can count on, usually, is for elevator buttons to have Braille text. I guess this elevator just wanted to go halfway in its accessibility efforts.
I'm a big fan of fast food breakfast sandwiches. I haven't tried the offerings from Wendy's yet, but now I think I might pass. Chicken doesn't belong in breakfast anyway.
I'm not a graphic designer, so I shouldn't judge. But it seems like graphic designers sometimes get too deep into a project before they realize that there's a major error. 'Black Wagon, Red Background Pizza Company' just doesn't have the same ring to it.
It looks just like a normal watch face at first glance, and maybe at second glance as well. I'm not sure how it can keep accurate time between 3 and 5 o'clock with this unusual alignment.
The driver shouldn't feel too bad. This is a mess-up, and they did mess up a proposal...but c'mon, who proposes over McDonald's anyway?
I'm not saying that this is a metaphor for Elon Musk and his whole deal right now, but on the other hand, I can't think of any other way to finish this sentence.
