20+ Times people didn’t use their noggins

As we get older, it becomes painfully obvious that common sense isn’t all that common. A surprising number of people could use a little help when it comes to basic reasoning.

Just take a look at these individuals—let’s just say they’re not winning any awards for brilliant choices.

Ma’am, A Snorkel Is Not A Solution

Wanting a barrier to protect your health in public is completely understandable.

But while there are masks designed to filter the air you breathe, a snorkel isn’t exactly built for that purpose—and definitely won’t do the trick.

“So How Was Your Day At Work Honey?”

At this point, he’s probably hoping they’d just let go of the rope and put him out of his misery.

There’s no bouncing back from the kind of embarrassment captured in this moment.

I Would Like To Go To This Garage Sale

Go ahead and make fun of that terrible spelling all you want, but I’ve honestly never been more intrigued by a garage sale.

It’s either packed with the most amazing stuff—or the absolute worst. Either way, I’d definitely check it out.

“Why Is My Laptop Still Dead?”

Charging most electronic devices usually involves two simple steps: connecting the charging cable to the device and plugging it into a power source.

Sometimes, there’s an unexpected third step—realizing you’ve plugged the power strip into itself instead of the wall.

Some DIY Projects Actually Shouldn’t Be Done Yourself

When working solo on a project, it’s essential to carefully review your work, particularly if it’s not your specialty.

Speaking of which, here’s hoping that cat can make the leap!

It’s one of those lessons you just have to learn the hard way.

For the sake of their own sanity, I hope this person never gets stuck in a house of mirrors trying to find their way out.

I’m pretty sure they’d lose it.

Taking The Hard Way Out

Alright, we understand that mixing up the coffee grounds led to the tea ending up in the wrong container—but why make it a permanent mistake?

Clearly, no careful thought went into this.

Ask Permission Instead Of Forgiveness

Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

Actually, it was the chicken’s permission that mattered—giving you the green light to bread it, bake it, and smother it in marinara sauce.

He Has At Least One Regret In Life

It’s hard to guess what he regrets more: buying such a small car, or thinking that he was going to be able to fit this extra long wooden beam inside that car.

This isn’t going to happen.

I Hope This Is A Joke

Have you ever witnessed something so unbelievably foolish that you couldn’t help but hope, deep down, that the person was just joking and wasn’t truly that clueless?

When someone tells you to put your computer in rice after you spill a cup of tea, they’re not suggesting you cover it with a package of microwavable minute-rice that you brought as part of your lunch.

Someone should tell them it’s not going to work.

That’s Enough Of A Deterrent

A fence is really more of a mental deterrent than a physical one anyway, right?

Anyone who was looking to come into your backyard will see the one large piece and find a new fence to jump.

This Could Have Been Prevented

If you’re old enough to own a car, you should be old enough to know that putting a dashboard decoration made of jelly on the inside of your car in the summer is not going to end well.

Trust me.

Never Walk Alone

If you’re going to do something ridiculous in public, you might as well do it with another person so you have some moral support.
