30 People Who Dropped The Ball And Just Watched It Roll Away

Life throws up a lot of challenges for all of us. However, sometimes people can drop the ball when it comes to even the most straightforward of problems !

So, from people who made using the toilet harder than a challenge from the Crystal Maze to individuals who messed up simply getting off the bus, here are 20 people who dropped the ball and just watched it roll away!

“A healthy vending that only sells ultra-processed food.”

Image credit: Reddit | lucynyu13
Reddit | lucynyu13

I bet that the people who use this vending machine were made up to discover this loophole which allowed them to class M&M’s, Kit Kats, and Cheetos as “healthy” snacks. I’ve always considered peanut M&M’s to be healthy anyway.

Someone Is Getting Fired Over This!

Reddit | bazziness

I really do not know how no one noticed what was going wrong here before this point. This is such a truly spectacular mess up that it must have left everyone involved scratching their heads.

“Google review of the Eiffel tower…”

Image credit: Reddit | oeoeoeoeoeoee
Reddit | oeoeoeoeoeoee

I mean, the fact that the staff at the Eiffel Tower were not able to control the direction and/or intensity of the wind is a downright travesty. They really need to buck their ideas up!

“How am I mean to climb up the stairs?”

Image credit: Reddit | PerpetualPuzzle
Reddit | PerpetualPuzzle

“Excuse me, but could we possibly see what the second floor is like before we make an offer?”

“I mean, it’s definitely there, so I don’t know why you need to see it.”

“We’d still like to see it…”

‘I Didn’t Do Anything Wrong’ Says Woman Who Jumped Into Monkey Enclosure

“Urgh, fine then, take a deep breath in!”

“Do die? Don’t drive safely?”

Image credit: Reddit | ilovesushialot
Reddit | ilovesushialot

I don’t know about you, but I initially read this as “Don’t die safely!” I quite like the nihilism of that message, but I don’t think that a campaign about driving safely should be advocating it!

“The people who have to deal with this need a raise.”

Image credit: Reddit | Shaneblaster
Reddit | Shaneblaster

Coming into work and seeing this must be one of the most crushing feelings on the planet. I dread to think of what the smell would be like coming from that thing as well.

“This door in the south of France was made for parkour experts I guess?”

Image credit: Reddit | MineRabbit33
Reddit | MineRabbit33

I suppose that this is a pretty decent security system, just having your front door completely inaccessible. I hope that the person who lives here is bloody good at jumping though.

“The bones aren’t spread…”

Image credit: Reddit | 97th69
Reddit | 97th69

This looks like it was designed by an alien who thinks that humans can shed their skin suits like Hermit Crabs changing shells. Being able to jump out of your skin would probably be quite useful…for something?

“Who needs a door if you can use the windows.”

Image credit: Reddit
Reddit

This must be the balcony from the house with the impossible doorway. Maybe they mixed up the door and the window placement? Or maybe the person who lives here just likes being difficult?!

“Proof reading. Do it!”

Image credit: Reddit | Ghostlyshado
Reddit | Ghostlyshado

Jesus Christ on a cross trainer, this has got to be one of the worst editorial mistakes that I have ever seen. Someone needs to get down to this branch of Whole Foods at once and look into the staff!

“Everyone knows that famous saying.”

Image credit: Reddit | UncleIroh24
Reddit | UncleIroh24

Are you telling me that not one person in the entirety of a company as big as Radox read this back, paused, and thought, “Hold on a hot second, that doesn’t make any damn sense!”

“My neighbors just throw trash out of their window.”

Image credit: Reddit | PabloDelicious
Reddit | PabloDelicious

If this is what it looks like on the outside of their house, it doesn’t bear thinking about what the interior looks like. I bet it is a little…ripe, to say the least.

“When you order a 4 piece mcnugget from McDonald’s and someone is having a bad day…you get mayo container.”

Image credit: Reddit | jheino26
Reddit | jheino26

There is something really unsettling about seeing a box of mayonnaise that has settled into a square shape. Malleable mayonnaise would be a great punk band name though!

“Crappy bathroom signs!”

Image credit: Reddit | GRAVYYYYYYYYYY
Reddit | GRAVYYYYYYYYYY

Wait, so which one do you go into? Do you follow where the fingers are pointing or do you go into the one that says “men” or “women” on it? Why do they have to make this very simple thing so complicated?!

“This toilet paper placement.”

Image credit: Reddit | Cuccacaali
Reddit | Cuccacaali

I really cannot think of a more inconvenient place for them to have put the toilet paper. Not only is it really difficult to reach, but how would you even know it was there? Who would look behind the toilet for the paper?!

“Rebranded labels but not bottles.”

Image credit: Reddit | broccoflowers
Reddit | broccoflowers

I am assuming that they just keep the circle that says “Aunt Jemima’s” as a blank circle on the new bottles? It would be a massive waste to get rid of all of the bottles they have already made in fairness.

“The aftermath of a gender reveal party at a public park.”

Image credit: Reddit
Reddit

I cannot wait for this trend to die off. Does anywhere outside of America engage with this bizarre new ritual? If you’re going to do this, for whatever reason, then at least clean up after yourselves!

“The way my sister opens CapriSun pouches.”

Image credit: Reddit | programmer2514
Reddit | programmer2514

But…they have a spot specifically designed for you to piece the straw through!? That being said, trying to get that straw into one of these can be a nightmare anyway. The straws have the structural integrity of a Twiglet.

“I’m genuinely confused as to what this means.”

Image credit: Reddit | TheBigE31
Reddit | TheBigE31

You might think it means that the Olympics is introducing a new extreme wheelchair event that people need to train for, but I’m pretty sure it really means that someone put that accessibility sign in the most wrong place possible.

“Meat Coffee… Yum?”

Image credit: Reddit | carlsligh
Reddit | carlsligh

I swear there are few things that will drive the lesson about using proper spaces between words quite like the phrase “meat coffee.” I don’t even know what that would be, other than a gag-inducing nightmare of a beverage.

“Why not write normally don’t quit?”

Image credit: Reddit | Salami_Honk
Reddit | Salami_Honk

Obviously the designer behind this shirt really wanted to nail that “Do It” message with some cleverness — but it’s not working for them. So, ironically, in this case, yes, quit, don’t do it.

“Do you feel the pain? I do.”

Image credit: Reddit | soviff
Reddit | soviff

I can hear the screams of whoever managed this through this picture. I also would not be too keen to press that button with some stranger’s hair hanging down all over it. I’m old fashioned like that.

“My sister lost her AirPods at work and couldn’t find them for almost a month. This is where she found them.”

Image credit: Reddit | 3leggedpelican
Reddit | 3leggedpelican

It is amazing that they managed to stay on there for that long without falling off. This person’s sister must not dramatically spin around in their chair as often as I do.

They Didn’t Think That One Through!

Image credit: Reddit | _MostlyHarmless
Reddit | _MostlyHarmless

Always make sure you get a couple of opinions on your new sign before committing to it completely. Or, maybe this specific church just has a bit of a different agenda that they’re pushing…

“Tried to run this maze on the back of Annie’s birthday cake flavored graham crackers. Can you solve it?”

Image credit: Reddit | BookwyrmsRN
Reddit | BookwyrmsRN

Judging from the state of this maze, that bunny is going to be waiting for a long time before anyone helps him blowout those candles. I hope that they don’t set fire to this cake either, as Bunny has no hope of escape if so.

Say What To Which Now?

Image credit: Reddit | YoutubeFernotta
Reddit | YoutubeFernotta

I always knew that those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were up to no good! It sounds like they were high when they put this sign together, so how are they ever going to cope with fighting crime effectively!?

“Foll is just around the corner!”

Image credit: Reddit | dawgfan64
Reddit | dawgfan64

They could probably try and flog these in the south of England, as that is how certain parts of the UK would pronounce “Fall.” Although, they call it Autumn anyway so these may just be useless!

“The worst beer pour in history.”

Image credit: Reddit | Scaulbylausis
Reddit | Scaulbylausis

I have poured some truly terrible pints in my time, and this has just made me feel infinitely better about my bartending skills…or lack of skills rather. I think this person may just be entitled to another pint.

“How my roommate chooses to eat his bananas.”

Image credit: Reddit | AlmostDoneWithIt
Reddit | AlmostDoneWithIt

But…if he is going to eat the equivalent of one banana’s worth of food, then why not just eat one whole banana? Why did they feel the need to cut two separate bananas in half?!

It Looks Like Someone Might Have Gotten Into The Dog’s Food…

Image credit: Reddit | 8slipknot8
Reddit | 8slipknot8

I can hear the sigh that must have escaped this kid’s parent’s mouth when they came in and saw this. This mess is making me feel exhausted just by looking at it!
