In the mood for some dark humor? You're in the perfect place. Even when we sympathize with people, it’s hard not to laugh at those awkward, frustrating, or downright messy situations—like someone completely covered in printer toner (seriously, you’ve got to see it). While it’s definitely rough for them, from an outsider’s perspective, it’s comedy gold. Dive in to see these unlucky moments captured in all their hilarious glory.
Bet you won’t be able to keep a straight face looking at these!
Setting Himself Up For Failure
Poor Kyle really messed up this time.
No doubt his girlfriend will be even more curious now and won't let the night go by without demanding to hear "all the details."
Always! Read! Labels!
Many kitchen containers and sauces look strikingly alike, so it's important to double-check before pouring.
If you don’t, you could end up with a pot of ruined rice.
It's Not Meant For Adults
This guy somehow managed to break a whole swing set. I'd ask how it happened, but… well, he’s an adult using a swing designed for kids.
The photo pretty much tells the whole story.
A Skeleton Surprise
This person had to tear open a wall to renovate their bathroom...
So they took the chance to hide a skeleton inside, ensuring the next person who opens it will get quite the shock.
Well, That's Ominous
Fortune cookies are meant to deliver uplifting messages—not to highlight the darker side of human nature.
Now I'm left wondering if this fortune cookie factory is hiding some dark secrets.
Singed Whiskers
Let's stick with the cat vibes a little longer.
Who can resist a lovable cat? This little guy got a tad too near the fireplace and now looks like he might be wobbling around for a bit…
Parents, Take Note
Every amusement park around the globe should have a sign like this.
I still recall being pushed onto rides that were way too speedy for my liking when I was a kid.
Revenge At Its Finest
"I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. I fell asleep while he was packing, and he ended up stealing my toilet."
But seriously, how does someone even carry a toilet out? And what's the plan—take it somewhere that already has one?
The Ink Cartridge Exploded
While a woman was changing the ink cartridge, it unexpectedly burst.
The splatter marks clearly reveal where she was standing when it happened.
Good Luck Reaching That!
I'm convinced the person stocking shelves at this store has a twisted sense of humor.
Seriously, if your back already hurts, would you even attempt to bend down for this?
A Very True Statement
You definitely can't accuse this of false advertising.
I’m pretty sure the neighbors across the street won’t be causing any noise anytime soon—unless a zombie apocalypse happens.
Don't Skip The Sunscreen
Even if you're tempted to skip sunscreen—whether to get a tan or because you think your clothes will protect you—think twice.
Remember this girl who got sunburned through her jeans with holes, and maybe rethink your choice.
The Best Photographer
He snapped a photo of his wife and burst out laughing. She didn't get why until she looked at the picture.
A tiny version of her face was reflected in her glasses.
The Bees Own The Backpack Now
While doing an event outdoors, one person decided to hang their backpack up off the ground.
When they were finishing up a couple of hours later, they came to find that bees had swarmed the bag for no clear reason.
Nice Try
This cat seems to believe he can blend in as a bird feeder and lure all the birds to him.
It's an interesting theory, but I’m not sure it’s going to work out.
That Car Must Be Really Smelly
Why would anyone need so many air fresheners in their car?
It seems a bit excessive, but then again, maybe their car just has a serious odor problem.
Poor Grandpa
I have a lot of questions about this multiple choice situation. Who has a grandpa that's 500 years old?
None of these numbers seem like they could actually be the age of a grandfather.
No Flyers Please
There is a sign on this bulletin board that makes it clear that they don't want and flyers posted here.
They didn't say anything about fliers, though. That fly has definitely seen better days.
A Terrible, Rotten, No Good, Very Bad Day
Reddit user rats_backwards01 posted this photo online along with the caption, "Fell asleep writing an essay and my laptop fell off the bed.
Now my computer can't charge, my essay is late, and I have to shell out $15 bucks to buy a new cord."
That's Not Dairy
The next time you say that you're just popping over to the store to get some milk, you might be totally justified in picking up a bottle of wine too.
It is listed under "dairy" after all.
What Legroom?
This guy was thrilled to snag a seat by the emergency exit for some extra legroom.
But it turned out the person in front of him had the exact same plan.
Boneless Chicken
Well, the sign isn't entirely wrong.
Technically, an egg is just a baby boneless chicken. Thirty-five cents for boneless chicken isn't half bad, and what's not to like about eggs?
Caught In The Door
This car parked in the wrong spot, evidently.
Either that or someone was practicing archery in the wrong spot. Although, is there really a right spot to practice archery? It seems dangerous wherever you do it.
What Being Self-Employed Looks Like
Where are all of my self-employed people at? Does this message sound familiar to you?
I'm sure people who are self-employed have meetings with human beings other than themselves most of the time.
Poor Chocolate Penguin
This guy taught his coworker how to make chocolate penguins, but then his coworker decided that he'd rather make chocolate penguins getting ripped in half instead.
Well, that escalated quickly.
A Sad-Looking Chocolate Bar
Chocolate is supposed to make you happy. This chocolate bar doesn't look very happy at all. Maybe that's because it's about to get eaten.
I wouldn't look very happy if I were about to get eaten.
In The Aftermath
This cat got shooed off of his owner's lap (because, you know, she had things to do and places to be).
He doesn't look very happy about it. This is his way of moping.
The Wrong Bottle To Steal
Well, this is what happens when you take food that doesn't belong to you. You don't know what's in that food or where it came from.
This person just poured breastmilk in their coffee.
Don't Wear A Brown Dress In The Water
This woman was trying to take an artistic photo of herself in a dress sitting in the water.
She didn't anticipate that the brown fabric of her dress would look like liquid you-know-what.
He Took The Wrong Cookie
This guy walked by a table at a Chinese restaurant and took a fortune cookie off of it.
After he read the fortune, he realized that he had made a huge mistake.
Poor Puppy
This woman was cleaning up her son's room and vacuum sealing some of his stuffed animals in plastic bags.
This dog looks like he's seen better days. It is kind of funny, though.
There's Misery In His Future
The correct answer to this question is just, "no."
Why did this kid have to assume that there would be misery in this guy's future? This kid must be pretty pessimistic.
Don't Park In Front Of Fire Hydrants
This is what could happen to your car if you park in front of a fire hydrant. Just don't do it.
It's against the rules and you could end up with a huge repair bill.
Rest In Peace To The Pizza
This poor man will wake up to a haunting realization and understand the true meaning of disappointment.
Kudos to him, however, for resisting the smell of pizza and falling asleep through it.
Talk About Bad Luck
"A bird flew in my window, pooped on my laptop, and decided to die right in front of me."
Many cultures actually use birds as omens, and I'm sure they would all agree this isn't a good sign.
A Friendly Reminder
In Gary's defense, Facebook seems to be dying in comparison to how popular it used to be.
Maybe Gary just has real-life friends that actually call him and see him on his birthday. Let's hope.
Destroying Confidence, One Passport At A Time
You know that feeling where you think you look great in the mirror and then you try to take a picture and you look like a potato?
That's what The State Department was also going for here.
Did You Know?
Did you know that MRIs are basically giant magnets?
It's okay if you didn't, but you'd think or at least hope that the people who work around it would know better.
That's One Long Update
"It's been going for a week. I don't think it'll stop anytime soon."
The mathematics of this update don't even make sense. Maybe Windows is trying to go above and beyond, but going over 100% by this much just seems extra.
His Face Says It All
No one likes empty promises.
The look on this kid's face should be the definition of the feeling when you act like everything is okay but you're about to break down from disappointment.
Taking Dry To A New Level
Well, it looks like the dryer's cycle is done...
Who knew that a dryer could get so hot that it could actually turn your clothes to ashes? It seems like overkill.
You Can't Count On Anyone
This was supposedly a French SWAT team. You know how they say when you want something done well, do it yourself.
Clearly, that also applies to saving your own life rather than depending on a SWAT team.
A Slight Security Breach
"Target sent me my order with a security alarm on it...and it's blinking."
What does the blinking mean? Are the Amazon police about to break through her door to arrest her?
Really Got Himself Into A Mess
This squirrel tried to fly too close to the sun and steal as much birdseed as possible, only to end up in a pretty disastrous situation.
You can see the panic in his eyes.
So Not Quite Right...
As a treat for his son, this dad decided to go to the drive-thru and pick up a chicken nugget meal for him.
When he got home, he saw that they'd given him this instead.
No One Is Sleeping Here Tonight
This person came home after a long day only to realize too late that they had left a window open during a snowstorm.
I'm honestly just kind of impressed by how much snow got inside.
This Is So Tragic
I genuinely hate myself for laughing at this because I know that this must have been such a horrible experience for her.
But, like, what are the odds that this would happen?
"Hey, Has Anyone Seen The Remote?"
One of the things in a house that has an uncanny knack for disappearing is the television remote.
I've found mine in a couple of odd places, but none so bizarre as inside of the washing machine.
The Person Who Designed This Is Evil
The whole point of this design is that it's environmentally friendly by sending the leftover sink water to be used in the toilet.
However, the slope of the design makes for a pretty perfect slide.
Kevin From The Office Feels Your Pain
This person was just trying to enjoy a hearty lunch of chili when they made the mistake of dropping it.
Now they're hungry and have to clean up their entire workspace.
