15 Times things definitely didn’t go according to plan

As we all know, life is simply unpredictable, and sometimes, our plans just don't turn out the way we want them to.

Sure, these people could come up with a plan B and alternative solution to their woes, but honestly, it's more fun for them to share their misfortunes on the internet for the rest of us to enjoy.

The Starbucks Drive-Thru

If you're a vegan who drinks plant-based milk, you're eager for a hot drink to beat the winter cold, or you're a fan of piling on high the whipped cream and you enter this Starbucks drive-thru, then you, my friend, are out of luck.

Missing all of these Starbucks staples, you know it's bad when even the barista thinks they should be closed. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to Dunkin' I go.

This person woke up one morning and discovered that their plan to get to the office wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

We hope they have winter tires on their car, but considering how dangerous the road looks, perhaps a pair of ice skates is more appropriate.

You could say this bride is having a very bad day. An hour before her wedding ceremony, she accidentally ripped out her eyelashes while using this medieval torture device, also known by women as an eyelash curler.

ADVERTISEMENT

And methinks it's probably too late to run to a beauty store and buy false lashes. Maybe the groom won't notice?

Speaking of weddings, this bride and groom ordered letters to handwrite personal messages to give to their loved ones on their wedding day, but they got a little more than they bargained for in the mail.

ADVERTISEMENT

With only four days before the wedding, there probably isn't enough time to order new cards. Perhaps a nice, impersonal text message can make up for it.

Imagine you're a contractor and you've just finished pouring a slab of new concrete.

Everything has gone according to plan when all of a sudden, you watch helplessly as a dopey little pigeon walks through the still-liquid concrete, making tiny little footprints along the perimeter.

We're not sure whether it was the manager who crafted this sign or Alex himself when he quit. Perhaps this RaceTrac store should have come up with another solution before things got to this point.

After all, it's got to hurt the ego to realize that your convenience store operations can be brought to a complete halt by a kid named Alex.

For Christmas, this person was gifted a bath bomb and planned to take a hot bath on a cold winter night.

While a thoughtful gesture, what's less thoughtful is the particular pee-colored bath bomb the gift-giver chose.

Honestly, what would we do without our moms? This mom had good intentions when she tidied up her daughter's bedroom, but what she didn't plan on was accidentally erasing half of the Pacific Ocean while cleaning the globe.

There's nothing important in that part of the world, right?

This person had a very simple plan. Call American Airlines and get refunded for two tickets that they'd purchased.

But unbeknownst to them, it is the mission statement of every airline to dick around passengers and make them wish their destinations were drivable. I sure hope those tickets weren't that expensive.

This would-be skier was planning to hit the slopes, but instead, all they got hit with was water from a burst pipe after their ski-lift stalled in an unfortunate area.

Assuming this person eventually gets off the ski left, maybe next time they should stick to a less risky hobby, like sledding, or playing Scrabble.

This person came across a Dodge Ram truck that had an unfortunate and icy encounter with a tree, leaving the hood of the truck crumpled.

Not only did the driver not plan to drive into a tree that day, but they definitely didn't plan on becoming a new Dodge meme.

So he's not getting a homemade Christmas dinner anymore, but do you know what he is getting? Takeout.

This supermarket refrigerator full of "Easy Meal Solutions" might not contain your usual dinner options, and this person might have to look elsewhere for meal ideas. Why is that? The refrigerator is stocked full of cake and bottles of wine.

But if you've met me, then this sort of meal is definitely on my usual meal plan list.

Wait, isn't this how Pixar's film Ratatouille begins?

Sometimes elevators close before we can enter them, and other times we actually get stuck in between the doors as they close. But then there's this guy.

All he wanted to do was get some cleaning done, but this is what happens when you opt for corded vacuums. You, my friend, need a Roomba.
