There’s something to be said for trusting your instincts… sometimes . If you’re in a situation where nothing makes sense, learning quickly and thinking on your feet might be the only way out.
But if you’re about to tackle something major, it usually helps to think about how you’re gonna do that first. I apologize if this seems a little patronizing. Like I’m suggesting that you would approach every situation by swinging wildly until everyone else has a black eye.
RELATED STORIES
And yes, I’m sure you’re not the one I need to say this to. But if the pictures you’re about to see are any indication, a lot more people need to hear it than you might think.
1. It’s a sad fact that the more we drink, the more we miss details like why the alarm clock has a division symbol on it.
I’m not saying I’m not open to the idea, though. I’d definitely rather multiply my sleeping time than hit the snooze.
2. I’ve seen it a lot by now, but I’ll never understand why someone has to mess with perfectly good bathroom door design.
And whether it’s making the door clear or whatever is happening here, they all seem designed to make people stare uncomfortably at us.
3. Gah! Nope, nope, I don’t even want to see the other entrants in the world’s worst idea contest. This wins by a landslide.
And yes, I am basically ending the contest early so nobody has to see what happens next. You’re welcome.
4. Well, I can see that an attempt was made, but I can’t think of any way we can really call it successful.
I know they say that a poor carpenter blames their tools, but a butter knife probably wasn’t the best choice for cutting this pizza.
5. I guess I can understand how a chef would get a little lost in the flavors they’re throwing together.
Honestly, the real mistake was putting the toothpicks in this container. Even when they’re not being mixed up with seasoning, it seems annoying to get them out.
6. Aw man, I’ve had some heartbreaking food losses too, but nothing that made me tear off my glasses in despair.
Because unless that plate was really valuable, the pizza landed topping-side-up, dude! You’re OK! The toppings slide over a bit, but it’s still good.
7. OK, burning the shoes is one thing, but if this guy absolutely must do that, maybe try taking them off first?
Trust me, sir. I’m sure you’re perfectly capable of expressing how mad you are without giving yourself third-degree burns.
8. Oh no, now two people are going to end up supremely disappointed here.
This will mean there won’t be any fighting over the one that survived, but I don’t think this is the price we’re willing to pay for that kind of peace.
9. It actually got to the point where this guy could only leave himself a little island of regret.
Painting is boring work, but I wouldn’t think it should take until the literal last minute before he realizes he doesn’t have an exit strategy.
10. Yup, that shopping cart definitely has a razor blade stuck to the handle.
Now before anyone starts tripping like they do about Halloween candy, it seems like this was just an employee’s cart that got shuffled into the others.
We don’t have to fear the price slasher.
11. You know, after some of the horrific stuff we’ve seen, I’m actually kind of inclined to give this a pass.
This may not be the recommended way to transport a horse, but I can’t really think of a better way to use the tools they’ve got.
12. You know, it’s surprisingly hard to see this as an honest mistake and not the work of a human-catching fisherman.
And I could only assume that would be some kind of humanoid sea monster out for revenge after we ate his friends.
13. Ah, yes. There’s nothing like going to the bathroom in a nice, breezy place with a lovely view.
I mean, we can throw all that out the window if this person is planning to have anyone visit ever, but yeah!
Those plants better be really aromatic.
14. Well, I guess this lady can consider herself at least kind of lucky. Her tattoo could definitely say something a lot worse.
If anything, I feel worse for the restaurant staff somewhere who have to explain what “inner peace” is supposed to taste like.
15. Whoa. Unless somebody lost control of the world’s most powerful bowling ball, I have no idea what could have made all these holes.
But even though it’s a massive blooper, I can’t help but be weirdly mesmerized by the results. The world’s most oddly satisfying mistake.
16. I wouldn’t get too discouraged if I were this guy. I’m sure Indiana Jones went through this many times before he finally got the hang of it.
I might recommend practicing with a face mask or something, but I think he’s figured that out by now.
17. People in this city have been claiming the dangerous algae bloom to be a fisheries “conspiracy”.
Wow, this is just natural selection in action. For those not aware, eating food that has been fished from a lake with algae bloom can kill you, or at least cause — amongst other things — nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
18. Make sure that you R.S.Fe.Ces to the invite!
It really is a crying shame that the shape of an engagement ring doesn’t already look like a letter in the word “popped”, then it would have been perfect.
19. This one-year-old’s picture shoot didn’t go quite as planned…
This one-year-old looks like it’s been slamming the tequilas a little too early! Also, can this family please make this a tradition where they get a picture of their daughter looking like she has just fallen off a chair for each birthday!
20. This man was caught trying to smuggle a kilo of cocaine under a wig at the Barcelona airport.
I wonder how he got caught? Maybe if he was someone who suited an Amy Winehouse-Esque beehive hairstyle he may have been even a little more conspicuous?
21. It’s an easy mistake that anyone could make… I guess?
I do love that the person from Eva auto insurance takes the time to compliment Susan before telling her how she has spectacularly messed up.
22. When your password is “Password”.
How many email scams has this person fallen for do you reckon? Here you can hear them thinking to themself, “But, it works with other mats? I’ve seen it on the TV!”
23. Safety 101: ensuring your get a face full of cacti when your airbag deploys!
As a general rule of thumb, never add cacti to a safety precaution. I genuinely can’t think of a single situation where a cactus makes anything safer, can you?
24. This kindergarten in Taiwan should probably have reconsidered using student’s photos to mark their plants.
Nothing says, “Leave your kids with us!” like seeing what looks like a child graveyard in the kindergarten’s back yard.
25. So close, yet so far!
Now call me crazy, but I suspect that alcohol may have played a part in this man’s downfall.
26. This fake hundred dollar bill one Redditor’s coworker accepted.
Franklin’s face on the fake bill looks like he’s judging the person who accepted this fake money without questions.
