Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Usually, they’re pretty small and easy to brush off. Sometimes, they’re a little bigger and hard to bounce back from.
But some are… well, kind of ridiculous . Like yeah, it sucks to be the people who made those kinds of mistakes (like the ones in this list), but at least we can count on them for entertainment.
RELATED STORIES
“The photo speaks for itself, I think.”
Oh man. How could anyone mess up this badly? To be honest, though, the sign is so utterly stupid, that it’s ironically amazing. I kind of want one to hang up at home…
“[06 Ford GT Heritage Edition] at my family’s shop.”
Somebody out there made a very colorful, very expensive mistake. Hopefully they walked away from it just fine but… yeesh. I would absolutely not want to be the owner.
“Got a little more than I expected from the Home Depot.”
Those guns are surprisingly easy to lose. But they also don’t work unless they’re within range, so there’s no reason to keep one. Unless you’re too embarrassed to bring it back…
“I just wanted to replace this light switch…”
Yeah… mistakes were made. I think the worst part is the fact that the person who’s gonna have to fix that is definitely not the person who did it in the first place.
“My mother reversed her car into the garage door.”
Yep, another weird, expensive mistake. Hopefully the car looks better than the garage door does. And I guess OP’s mom can’t leave the garbage out there for the next little while.
“Accidentally rolled over it with my desk chair…”
Oof, that doesn’t look good at all. Hopefully the screen can be replaced without it being too much of a hassle.
I guess this is a good reminder to keep valuable things off the floor.
“Not hitching your boat properly.”
Now that’s one expensive wakeup call. But I guess it’s better the hitch comes undone here than, say, in the middle of a freeway. Still, I can’t imagine that boat got to walk away damage-free.
“Someone at work wrote the date on this month’s resident engineer notebook like this and apologized (I wrote the response).”
I almost feel bad for that person, since they’re probably going to be teased about that for at least the next month.
“Today I learned that a coffee pot can explode.”
Mistakes were made, coffee was wasted, and now the walls in this kitchen look super old. Seriously, it reminds me of when I wanted to make pages look old for school projects and I used to dunk them in cold coffee.
Sometimes you try and it just doesn’t work out.
I’d say the person/people who put that sign up must feel pretty foolish, but they probably don’t care. At the very least, it won’t even keep them up at night.
“Someone had a difficult choice and in the end he just said: “…we gonna do both!”
Is this a mistake, or a careless oversight? Like, in any case, it’s pretty dumb and kind of annoying to look at, so it probably doesn’t matter.
“I feel like trying the new icy McSp burger today!”
Again, this is definitely a mistake, but I feel like the person who did it doesn’t actually care that much. Guaranteed they weren’t paid nearly enough to care in the first place.
“I accidentally took two different shoes to a restaurant.”
Worst case scenario, somebody notices and makes fun of you. Best case scenario, no one notices or care.
Alternatively, you could just pass it off as some kind of modern fashion trend.
“The rain drainage is directly over the exit so getting soaked is unavoidable.”
Somebody did that. Like, somebody installed the gutters/drains like that. I bet the person who did this is feeling might foolish right about now.
“When you have to move and you decide that this would be a great idea to announce it.”
I’m gonna go ahead and say it. This whole display is just one huge mistake. I guess the person who made it at least gets points for trying?
“My already absent desire for hot dogs is worse now.”
I guess technically this is the fault of the factory machine that would’ve cut this bun. If we have to go and start shaming robots, we need to start with this one.
“I have no words.”
So much is going on here, and none of it is good. This just reeks of somebody’s very questionable life choices, including the fact that all these containers are now piled up on a sidewalk.
“Co worker forgot to add water before microwaving instant noodles.”
I can practically smell this picture, and it’s making me kind of upset. But at least I’m not actually there, dealing with that mess. It can’t hurt me. It can’t hurt me…
“My lovely wife bought a new screen and a cat door to go in it. Took a few hours and she was so so proud of herself.”
So close, and yet so far. After a few more hours, it’ll hopefully look normal.
“I guess the tide came in faster than they thought.”
On the plus side, it doesn’t look like anyone’s stuck in those machines. But, uh, I don’t envy whoever has to go and get the supervisor now.
