Have you ever said or done something daft or stupid and thought, “Christ, what I would give to go back and not do that!” Experiencing these moments in life is part of what makes us human, and it’s nothing to be ashamed about…well, sometimes it isn’t!
So, without further ado, here are 15+ moments’ worth of a facepalm!
RELATED STORIES
“My daughter got a camera for a birthday. The first thing she did with it was to barge in the bathroom and take a pic of me taking a dump.”
Normally parents regret buying their kids loud presents, like drum kits. However, this dad will never regret buying his daughter anything more so than this camera.
“You had one job…”
They have either spectacularly ruined a surprise here, or the person who ordered this package was actually ordering something very embarrassing and just wrote this as a cover!
“When my wife’s school said they had BBQ for Teacher Appreciation week, she was excited to hear [there] was a vegetarian option! It was a potato with BBQ sauce.”
Mmmm, what a delicious vegetarian option! I would love to know how they arrived at the idea that this is the sort of thing that vegetarians like to eat.
Call AAA!
You just know that one of them is saying, “Look, we need to fix this situation quick before she takes a picture and we end up looking like idiots on the internet!”
“This fake hundred dollar bill my coworker accepted. (Real bill for comparison.)”
The damn eyebrow raise that Benjamin Franklin is throwing on that fake bill is absolutely hilarious. How on earth would someone not see that?!
“I put a zombie face in front of our baby monitor. My wife was not happy when she checked in the middle of the night.”
“Very funny, putting that zombie picture on the baby monitor, John!”
“I didn’t do anything to the baby monitor…”
“What?”
“Kim Kardashian playing poker with mirrored sunglasses…”
I mean, she probably has just enough money to be able to throw away a couple of grand on a poker game, doesn’t she? I love that she also has a little cheat sheet there with all of the hands on it.
“A quick note to Chewy…”
Could they have picked a more forlorn-looking dog to put in that box? It looks like it’s just had its family murdered.
“No YOUR stupid, and there cheeseburgers are grate!”
Aside from the fact that they have used the completely wrong “your,” I don’t get what McDonald’s has to do with anything in this context?
“My 3 year old ran to go to the bathroom, but apparently took a detour for a fistful of brownies. There’s literally a handprint.”
Look, sometimes you just need a fistful of brownies to take with you into the bathroom. Don’t tell me you’ve never done this!
“If you thought the Battleship movie was a stupid idea, here’s Battleship on top of a pen.”
I mean, I know that this is completely daft. However, nothing will ever top the idea of the Battleship movie for stupidity in my mind. What were they thinking?
“I too can lift a box with such elegance.”
Ah yes, you see, the trick is that lifting is all in the tips of your fingers. If you work out the ends of your fingers you can lift anything.
Translation Error…
The person who posted this explained:
“The English is clear enough to lorry drivers – but the Welsh reads ‘I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated’.”
“If only someone had thought of that.”
How would someone not be aware of the radio? Or, is it just that he doesn’t know what the radio actually does?
“How lazy can people be?”
Dear Lord, that’s not only lazy but horrifically dangerous! I wonder if they even bothered to clean the windshield off or if they are just driving blind?
Mathematics 101
Does anyone want to explain to them what is going on here? I don’t think that I have the patience to deal with this right now.
“This letter I received in the mail at work today.”
“Sir, I’ve been pressing your link for over an hour and all I’ve got is a paper cut!”
Congratulations!
This must have been a really big shock on the hole! I’d make sure you disinfect that ring a few times before wearing it though.
“This man trying to smuggle a kilo of cocaine under a wig at the Barcelona airport.”
“You reckon you’ll get through? How are you going to manage that?”
“They’ll never suspect a thing, I’m going to hide it under my wig!”
“…Do you have a backup plan?”
“My car thinks the drive thru attendant is a cone.”
“The traffic cone…it’s moving!”
“Calm down, car, it’s not a cone, it’s a…”
“IT’S ALIVE!”
“I trusted you all!”
Well, there’s your first mistake! You should never trust anyone, let alone strangers on the internet!
“That’s not how this works…”
Life would be a lot more fun if cartoon rules did apply. However, this is sadly not the case!
“Tried to hang a curtain over my front door, but didn’t realize what I did until I stepped back.”
I cannot believe how long it took me to realize what was wrong with this bit of DIY. In case you didn’t guess, I am definitely not good at DIY!
“Yeah, whatever, kids are stupid anyway!”
I get that they may have wanted to make the hole a little smaller because kids have tiny heads, but this just looks creepy and weird!
“My Mother-in-law keep complaining that her kindle wouldn’t charge…”
This is absolutely something that I could see my grandmother doing. We only just managed to get her to stop watching VHS tapes…seriously.
“Teachers who love teach children teaching to love learning.”
It is good to be clear and concise when teaching. You don’t want to be needlessly confusing the children or anything like that!
Stay Inside The Lines
Of course, it is a Mercedes! That guy who is complaining also needs to stop buying his outfits at Land Of Bland.
“People in my city claiming the dangerous algae bloom to be a fisheries ‘conspiracy.’ Enjoy the paralysis I guess…”
Natural selection can be a beautiful thing sometimes can’t it?
Life Hacks.
Once you get the balance right, this trick could keep your muscles from hurting too bad while running! You’ll also gain speed and distance, it’s a win-win-win!
“Happy Easter.”
Man, that dog does not look stoked to be a part of this. He knows it’s a high-pressure role and is freaked about messing up. No worries dog, you’re doing great.
“Check out this sculpture I built. it’s called ‘the stupid dishwasher broke and we kept putting off doing the dishes all day’.”
Y’know, I never really understood modern art, but this one resonates loud and clear. Can we get a gallery submission? Is this museum quality?
“New cat toy finally came!”
This owner has finally resigned to the fact that their cat will find no toy better than a standard cardboard box. Keep those expectations and costs low.
Someone At Oreo Is Losing It.
I’m begging these are fake. Like on my knees begging that these aren’t real. Oreo has crossed lines before but there needs to be an end to this madness.
“We would both like to speak to the manager.”
That cat not only wants to speak to the manager, he wants to cuss out every employee it takes to get there too.
“My 4 year old nephew about killed me last night at 2 am. He moved his child sized storm trooper into the hall next to the bathroom.”
Dang, they start storm troopers young these days, I didn’t know they made armor that small!
“Close call packing my lunch for work this morning.”
Are you sure it was a close call, or was it a wistful longing before giving yourself to the fact that you’d have to drink another Diet Coke?
“I found out I have 50 free hours of AOL online.”
I was going to make a joke about how no one uses AOL anymore but apparently they still have millions of paying customers. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing.
“My gf leaves me this fun game to play after she leaves for work in the morning.”
Seeing this made my anxiety ramp up. Leaving something on top of a metal or plastic button (both bad), on top of tank, and near a large can that shouldn’t take heat. Now this needs an intervention.
“My girlfriend just told me ‘Come here! The toilets smoking!!’.”
She isn’t wrong though. Maybe she’s worried for its health, smoking is a bad habit that can be hard to kick, but you can all come together and help them through this.
“Gotta have goals.”
A girl can be whatever she wants to be and work any job she’d like, but I think that’s a little young to start considering those kinds of options.
“Just kidding.”
I didn’t realize some kids were this close with their parents, but I’m glad they can bond with moments like this.
“Strawberry picking. You will notice that one of my kids follows the rules, the other, is just like his father.”
I can hear the screaming sound that the kid in the background is undoubtedly making just by looking at this picture.
“My snake ready for our fancy dinner tonight.”
He looks so dashing! I bet he’s just a lovely dinner date to have, what a catch.
“Was asked by our 10 yo why the car had an undo button.”
Which of these momentous blunders was your favorite? Be sure to let me know in the comments. I think that my personal favorite has to be the girl falling through the lilypad!
“He wouldn’t let go of this eraser.”
He seems to like that gun a little too much. It seems you may have accidentally lead him to a life of crime, but there’s still time to intervene before he gets in too deep.
