45 People Who Could’ve Let Us Down Easier

Sometimes the harsh reality of life comes down on you like the hammer of Thor ⏤ whether it be the crushing realization that your parents think that you are a plastic-eating simpleton, or whether it be the disappointing feeling when you realize that your spouse loves playing pranks more so than he loves you!

However, when they're happening to other people, these moments can be incredibly hilarious... and yes I realize that makes me sound like a psychopath. However, that aside, here are 14+ people who could've let us down easier!

Creepy Yet Caring Neighbour

Also, I do have to ask, who doesn't cover their shower window anyway? I thought that was just a given?

"My school has no faith in the honors students."

Reddit | Gurustyle

Can you imagine if you took a couple out of the jar and a school official just stopped you and said, "Maybe put a few of them back, eh?" Your self-confidence would never recover.

"My Husband wanted a sweet treat. I made orange rolls. To keep it interesting, one of these has nacho cheese on it."

Reddit | asparagustus_gloop

If I had to guess which one it was, I'd guess bottom right or top right. Which one do you think has the cheesy surprise on it?

"The flavor of disappointment...."

Reddit | Mychopath

I'm going to sound like a proper sad sack now, but I love cucumber and would happily eat these up!

"Chonker classification chart in my doctors office."

Reddit | Diamond_Silver

Ah, come on now! There's got to be a more sensitive way for you to say that my cat may be a little overweight than calling her a Megachonker!

The Sad Truth

Reddit | MashedPotatoh

But what else am I meant to do? Just sit there watching Netflix without snacks? Come on! Give me something at least!

"I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed."

Reddit | 8A8

I mean, the product description does say that it is a "funny" mug, so I guess you could say it was pretty accurate!

"Yearbook: 'Not Enough that I Should Succeed...'."

Reddit | StartedGivingBlood

I like this guy's style! It really isn't enough just to best your peers, you have to crush them into the dirt!

"My girlfriend is going to be gone for a week. She either has no faith in me or is setting me up for failure."

Reddit | puckpuckpuck

Just do what I do when I'm on my own for an extended period of time, live on beans on toast, fish-finger sandwiches, and takeaways. Can't go wrong,

"Well thats a let down..."

Reddit | mainmaster11

I always knew it was true! My years of general cynicism and despondency at the world have finally been vindicated!

"Wife left a note saying she left some french toast in the pan for me. Was disappointed."

Reddit | priceky

Never joke around when it comes to breakfast food! This is just setting someone up for a day of disappointment and misery.

"In the special request section I put 'write a joke on the inside of the box' Pizza Hut didn't let me down."

Reddit | Homebound_Cobra

Truly it is the greatest joke of all! Although ordering pizza from Pizza Hut might actually be a bigger joke now I think about it.

"The disappointment in my face after getting the same shirt I'm wearing for Christmas when I was 11."

Reddit | NoMeGustav

Ooft, now that is a Christmas that this kid will not be forgetting in a hurry! Do you have a particularly disappointing memory of a childhood Christmas to share?

Stay Safe!

Reddit | chaosphile

That's what you get for having sex on an intersection. Either that or you need to stop having affairs with bus driver's wives.

"My son asked the elf to bring him a Nintendo switch. He found this in his stocking this morning."

Reddit | Picklesk

Apparently, this person went on to say, "He's now drawing a picture for the elf to help him know what he really wanted."

Ah, I remember the days of drawing Santa diagrams, those were simpler times.

Wait... Say That Again?

Reddit | PascaleMarie

Apparently, this is located at the University of Alberta, and no it obviously doesn't mean what it suggests. I can imagine that every year there must be a lot of disappointed students.

"The kids were let down, but the wife and I laughed all the way back to our hotel room."

Reddit | konahopper

If you want my advice, stay away from the jacuzzi! Also, look at the opening hours of that pool! Who is going to the pool at 6 AM when they're on holiday? Madness!

"I work at Target and worked Christmas Eve. Was told that there would be a nacho bar in the break room."

Reddit | Im_A_Chef

This is so far from being a nacho bar that I am genuinely agog. Also, what is Christmassy about a nacho bar?

The Day Their Childhood Died

Ah, Monsters Inc. It really is the best Pixar film of all time in my opinion. As an adult, I resonate a lot with Mike Wazowski's chaotic, constantly exacerbated demeanor too much.

"Teaching kids the harsh reality of life."

Reddit | MyBoener

When there seems to be no solutions in life, you have to get creative! And, when getting creative fails, just gorge yourself on mozzarella stick and mac & cheese.

I can kind of appreciate the attempt here, but this would just make me even more angry if anything.

"My sister was suppose to come over this weekend and drink hot cocoa with me, but she decided to spend it with her friends instead. I sent her this."

Nothing hurts quite like being let down by a close family member or friend. Not even an extra hot cocoa will help warm your chilly heart.

Reddit | Trishmael

"Steve, what did I tell you about writing the messages on the board outside?"

"Make them more existential?"

"Steve, you know that's not what I said."

Nothing But The Truth!

Good to know! Although, now that I know that, I am even more curious than ever to touch it!

Even in death, there is the potential for disappointment! So, make sure you eat what you want, drink what you want, and have a bloody blast.

Jeez, Chill Out Danceroom!

Well, that's me out. I can only dance like a "street hoe", or not dance at all, they're the only options. And you know what, I'm not ashamed of that fact!

"Well, that's a little harsh...?"

Reddit | Honeycupcakenoodle

I know it's not the bit I'm meant to be focussing on, but I can't believe it says, "Eat slowly and avoid big meals"! Eating huge meals very fast is one of my favourite things todo! probably explains why I have heartburn all of the time.

"My mom got tired of me making fun of her 'Live Laugh Love' sign and modified it."

Reddit | MayorsMaxims

After so much teasing, you start to get a change in disposition.

You're telling me you're one of the lucky people who have a pet pig and you're not doing everything in your power to hold her all the time? Shame on you.

"It snowed in April and my Mom’s seat cushions are disappointed."

Reddit | Turbo_Tasker

Coincidentally, that's exactly how I looked when it started snowing here as well.

Looking Out For You In The Snarkiest Possible Way.

Reddit | elyk2009

I appreciate the caution, and this probably does help people, but there's no need to shame those getting up in the afternoon! Some work nights, some are just lazy like me, but we all deserve respect.

Taking Direct Measures.

Reddit | Maxmid1122

Something tells me if it's gotten so bad you need to publically shame her into coming to work, she won't be sticking around for much longer anyway.

Well. They Weren't Wrong.

Reddit | itsthat_chick

Yeah this is funny but I wanted to know what me vague, definitely untrue fortune was gonna be.

"Two minutes old and my nephew is deeply disappointed in us."

Reddit | asieceofme

He looks so sad to have been born into that family. It's a long road ahead, kid, better buckle up now.

"Just bought a standing desk. I'm 6'4". GF is...not."

Look at the way she's t-rexing her arms to use the keyboard, you couldn't even lower it for her?

Perhaps The Saddest Fruit I've Ever Seen.

Reddit | PokemonRuneScape

This is why I'm too scared to try growing my own food. Weeks and months of prep and work just for this? No thanks.

He Just Looks Sad. And Confused.

Reddit | ariellemonsters

To be fair I also have no idea what's happening here or why they would want a picture like this, so I level with the dad.

There's Mad, And Then There's Furious

Reddit | Warhead2220

I kid you not, my jaw dropped when I read this. I'm impressed and very, very afraid of this person's wrath.

Someone Found This Art They Did As A Kid.

Reddit | Knopfler_PI

This still hasn't been disproven. They've got a long ways to go, these dried leaves could skyrocket in value in the next six decades.

A Cruel Trick With A Good Payoff.

Reddit | Xope_Poquar

This prank is still gentle as the reward is still there. The real villain move would have been to actually have sewing supplies in there.

All This Work Put Into A Costume Party, And For What?

Reddit | trby93

I really do think if I went to a birthday party as a kid only to be greeted with a plate of fruit over a cake, I'd walk out.

Names Can Be Deceiving, Obviously.

Reddit | vetruvian

Apparently this place is not what the name suggests, but if it isn't, then...what is it? What service could they be providing, and why choose this name for it?

"My wife wanted jewelry for Christmas....don't think she'll be too happy."

Reddit | surfkaboom

Ah, nothing says, "I love you" like a truly hideous piece of jewelry that ultimately turns out to be a prank anyway!

"How dumb do my parents think I️ am?"

Reddit | Nwinter228

What if they want to eat it with the plastic on? It's their life and their choice!

(Please, don't really eat plastic, I could end up in a lot of trouble... and, y'know, it's very dangerous and all!)
