20+ Unfortunate mishaps that happened to unlucky people
Some of the biggest mistakes only become obvious once you’re already too far gone. Ideally, you’d spot them immediately—but that’s rarely the case. These folks didn’t realize their blunder until it was too late to undo it. Needless to say, their day went downhill fast.
Keep scrolling to see these fails—and be sure to share which one made you cringe the most!
Someone Tries To Clean Corona Off Their Money With The Microwave
You can bet this person had no idea they’d messed up until the microwave beeped. Most of it seems totally wrecked, though maybe one of those 20-second spots turned out okay.
Longer Than Normal
If you’re behind the wheel of a super-stretch limo, avoiding hills might be a smart move. What did they expect to happen here? And are there people trapped inside?
Let It Snow
Leaving your car window open overnight during a snowfall leads to this outcome. We’re fairly certain this person will be calling in late to work today.
810 Lbs Is Less Than 1,000
Not everyone excels at math, and that’s perfectly fine. However, if you’re selling a table that claims to support 1,000 lbs, you’d better make sure it can at least handle 810 lbs first.
Took Out Litter Box And Lunch Bag, But Ended Up Throwing Away Lunch
On your way to work, a strange smell catches your attention, but since you’re almost there, you ignore it. Once you arrive, you suddenly realize you accidentally threw away the wrong item.
“Long Story Short, I Saw A Cockroach”
Spotting a cockroach can be downright terrifying. They’re notoriously hard to kill unless you crush them on the spot, so the fear is understandable. That said, this person definitely realized they had made a poor decision.
Shopping Mistakes
Not everyone shops neatly. The person responsible for this likely didn’t realize what happened until they were already heading to the next aisle. At least they had the decency to leave a note saying sorry!
“Had No Hot Dog Buns And Now My BF And I Realize We Are Two Very Different People…”
When you’re out of hot dog buns, you have to get creative. Substituting with other types of rolls can work—just make sure you slice them the right way. Now, which one do you think the boyfriend made?
Wow, Nice Job
It was one of the largest battles in history, with countless lives lost. It wouldn’t hurt to double-check and make sure you put in two instead of eleven.
This Probably Won’t End Too Well
Did the owner of this truck take this photo to brag about how poorly the ATV is secured? If that’s the case, I hope someone in the comments pointed out the obvious mistakes.
Well, That’s Not Good
This was probably the most honest mistake on this list. Not everyone remembers the power of the sun when you combine it with reflections. That poor laptop won’t ever be the same.
The Arm Of Steel
How sharp was the knife this person used? That is a pretty clean cut, and not many people would be able to accomplish that, so this person probably had the strength of Superman.
There Goes Your Shoe
At this point, would you risk it and throw another object up there? By the looks of things, this ceiling is probably extremely high in the air, so those items might still be up there today.
“Mom Thought She Bought A Map Of The World”
Don’t look now, Mom, but you didn’t get the right map. Many mothers tend to pull a stunt like this, so you can’t be too upset with them for it.
Cut A Little Too Deep…
Manufacturers really have to consider using another form of packaging. This plastic casing is always the hardest thing to take apart, and look at what it causes sometimes. They need to go!
He Drove To Work Thinking His Mask Was In His Pocket
Forgetting your mask is one of the worst feelings. Especially when you’re on your way somewhere that requires you to wear one or you can’t get inside. What a bummer for him.
So Embarrassing
It’s bad enough to get locked out of your Dodge Neon or even your apartment, but when you drive an armored truck and can’t manage to keep track of your keys, you might be in the wrong industry.
Not Going To End Well
We know you’re excited to get out and ride that new bike, but it could have saved a world of pain to just check that the wheels were on tight first.
“Friend Sent My Mom A Cake, She Even Typed The Instructions With Quotations And Everything!”
The bakery people need to get their act together sometimes. Whoever did this one probably realized there was a mistake afterward but acted like there wasn’t anything wrong with this.
Early St. Pat’s Day
This genius decided to let their white dog out into the yard right after they mowed the lawn. Now they have a leprechaun instead of a dog. Hey, at least they’re ready for St. Patrick’s Day.
Those Signs Are There For A Reason
You see that sign that says “Clearance” on it? Well, that tells drivers how tall their car can be and still fit under the tunnel. Pretty useful information, which the driver of the U-Haul is probably wishing they paid attention to now.
This Hardly Makes Sense
Where did this family think they were going? Does Mercedes make SUVs that can swim in the ocean? I have a lot of questions here, but the most important one is: who was the driver?
