Sometimes it’s baffling that people have managed to get the jobs that they have. I mean, look no further than most of the world’s politicians for solid examples of this!
And, with that idea in mind, please enjoy these 17+ moments that made us go, “How did you get this job?!”
RELATED STORIES
“So I asked my daughter to replace the toilet paper roll… Job well done!”
The idea of forcing that through the paper is making me feel a little sick. My obsessive tendencies wouldn’t allow me to leave this even as a joke.
“I think they forgot something.”
I think that the point is that you have to guess the number and, if they’re destined to represent you, then you will get it right first go!
“Put the price tags on, boss.”
Will making things say “Butt” ever not be funny? No matter how old you get, this kind of childish joke always causes people to crack a smile.
“Pothole repair in a small town.”
In fairness, they have made more of an effort to fix this pothole than my town’s council has made to fix our countless potholes!
“Congratulations Tucker!”
You would surely think that someone who makes banners for a living would recognize what is meant to be a design instruction and what is meant to go on the banner!
“And the ‘not my job’ award goes to…”
“Dave, when I said that I was concerned about the dead pigeon in the lobby, what I wasn’t concerned about was people slipping on it!”
“Of course I measured where to drill the hole!”
That must have been one hell of a weirdly shaped drill that they used to drill that hole then!
“When you order a pizza during finals week in a college town.”
I mean, I’ve seen people who really don’t care about their jobs before, but whoever cut this pizza is taking it to new levels.
“What did you say your job was?”
My cat would never be able to get a job like this. She’s absolutely terrified of mice which would somewhat hamper her.
“Local Job Posting Looking for Server.”
Looks like they also need to hire an editor, or at least someone who knows how to spell “flexible.” Got ’em.
“A soccer field I spotted while flying my drone around.”
I know that it would be hard to tell when you were on the ground, but this is so wrong that surely some of players must have realized?!
“Oh, dear God no!”
I don’t think that I’d be able to live in a house that had this monstrosity in it. I’d have to rip that off immediately.
“Title goes here fsdjik ndfij jkfns.”
I can’t believe that they haven’t even spelled header right! I think that this newspaper may be looking for a new editor after this blunder.
“I can almost guarantee it said ‘Libary’ before someone caught it and they added the R in the middle.”
This is why you should always plan ahead and constantly double-check what you are doing!
“I wonder what he wrote in his job application…”
The part that I am most curious about is the bit about the “everlasting chocolate bar.” I’d love to see that diagram they drew!
“That should do…”
I mean, people know what bananas are. They only really need to know the price, so this isn’t too bad of a job!
“Painting the parking lot.”
“Dave, we haven’t finished. There’s this spot here…”
“Allan, if we start moving leaves around this time, then people will expect us to do it again in the future!”
“But…isn’t it our job?”
“…shut up.”
“The local laundromat bathroom.”
I think that I’d have had to put another little note in the hole saying, “I’m offended that you didn’t trust me!”
They Filled The Soap Dispenser A Little Too Literally
Next, they just need to fill it up with water and then people will be able to at least wash their hands with lightly soapy water.
Delivery Person Of The Year!
Do you think that you can trick a delivery person with such an obvious ploy?! Oh, you naive fool. No one can convince a UPS worker to knock on your door when they could just leave a note!
“Just a little slipper isolating two 250 Amps main power lines.”
That slipper is the only thing stopping them from experiencing a very terrifying fireworks display!
“Maybe he should hire a someone for that…”
I’m not gonna poke this one too much as I don’t want to get too political and end up annoying people with my hot takes on the piss-filled-bucket of a man who lives in the White House.
“I put the manhole cover back, boss.”
This is just anxiety in a picture. What kind of psychopath would just leave it like that and think that it was acceptable?!
I Don’t Think That’s How That’s Meant To Go!
This is like when you’re doing really well at Tetris and then absolutely ruin it by spinning a piece the wrong way at the last second by accident.
“Did that international pricing!”
“Dave, did you do the international pricing?”
“Well, you know, what with the economy and all, I did it as best as I could…”
“What have you done, Dave?”
That’s Some Damn Fine Pressure Washing!
The sad thing about this one is that someone has clearly spent a long time doing this, but it still looks god awful!
“Yep the sign is up!”
I hope that everyone who works here had the happliest of all hoys. It’s the happliest time of year, after all!
“Yes boss, I installed The new bathroom doors.”
I like to think that they put the first one on upside down, then just decided to do the second one upside down as well as opposed to redoing the first.
“Fix your scratches easily by placing a bottle in front of them!”
If you can’t see the scratch, is it even there? Forget what you know about object permanence with this easy trick.
“I recently got ordained and officiated my first wedding, chose to adjust my glasses at a poor time.”
Wrong time, wrong way. Start using your index finger from now on, okay?
“To repair the engine, you must first become the engine.”
Everyone in the comments was saying that older trucks often have enough empty space in the front to sit in them like this, which is baffling to me. Aren’t the car’s organs supposed to go in there?
“They said put up a new one, not take the old one down.”
Now all drivers have to stop twice. Once normally, then again very, very fast. Pump that break!
“I guess they don’t want their doors to close.”
“It gets hot in the summer, and this keeps the air flowing. In the winter? Well…employees can wear gloves.”
“These covers on the bike line are the perfect length for bike wheels to get stuck in.”
And they have two, giving you two chances to hit them and ensuring you can’t get around them easily!
“The city wouldn’t fix a large pothole in my town so a local woman took matters into her own hands.”
Either the city finally fixes it, or they let it grow roots and destroy the pavement even further, making it everyone’s problem.
“Got a flat. AAA said they could get out to help in two or three hours.”
I’ve always known that AAA was employed solely by sloths and turtles, but this just confirms it.
“Installed the router!”
As long as you don’t mind it hanging like a sad, misshapen disco ball, this is just fine.
“Been waiting all day for a package, only for the delivery guy to pull up and fall immediately asleep.”
I think that I’d be tempted to just walk out and knock on the window to collect my package instead of waiting for him to wake up.
“Does it still work like this?”
Sort of. Instead of requesting a stop, you’ll be requesting a ԀO⊥S, which is where you stop but in the mirror dimension.
But How Hot Is The Water?
Which of these ridiculous moments was your favourite? Be sure to let me know in the comments below! I think that mine has to be the awfully installed air conditioning unit!
