Have you ever done something you know you shouldn't have done? It happens more than we'd like to admit, and sometimes we end up regretting it.
You're about to see everyone who instantly regretted their actions. It's like they had a devil and an angel on their shoulders, but they all decided to listen to the devil.
Who You Gonna Call?
The point of an emergency defibrillator is, understandably, to provide defibrillation in the event of an emergency.
It seems this one's mostly for show though, as access is zip-tied off, and people are advised to simply call an emergency number instead.
Did He Write His Will?
I hope this man wrote his will before attempting this. The average person wouldn't consider doing something this reckless, but here he is.
What lesson he learns here largely depends on if this backfires or not.
Getting Stuck
Everyone's had the new job jitters before, and many of us even have an embarrassing story to share of our first day on a new job.
This guy will be able to tell the story of getting stuck in a proofer on his first day. That's assuming, of course, he ever gets out at all.
Hold On To What We've Got
With enough tension and enough time, this is what will happen to any material, even something as tough as steel.
We have no idea how crucial this link may or may not be, nor do we know how soon it might fail.
Parking In The Wrong Spot
Everyone with a vehicle knows better than to park in the way of a garbage truck.
Things could get ugly, but luckily, this person got out of this without any real damage.
Works Great Until It Doesn't
Despite all odds, it seems like this endeavor to balance a scissor lift on a floating platform to change a lightbulb is actually working.
Of course, it's entirely possible that disaster struck about two minutes after this photo was taken, because things look pretty precarious.
Hold On For Dear Life
Everyone's found themselves in the position of needing to transport something that won't fit into their vehicle.
While it's a relatable problem, sometimes it's best to just admit defeat and rent a truck.
That's One Way To Trim A Tree
Usually arborists have various tools at their disposal when it comes to scaling and cutting down wayward branches.
This crew has decided to improvise, and even the person in the foreground seems to know that it isn't very safe.
There Go Your Keys
When you go skydiving, you shouldn't jump out of an airplane with any of your personal items on your person.
This is what happens when you do that, my friends.
Safety Etiquette Not Found
This guy is trying to make a point about, uh, using children's play tools while he holds a very real power tool.
Whatever his point may be, it's probably not advisable to balance that 2x4 on your foot if you're about to cut it.
They're About To Make A Big Bang
A gigantic tank of propane right next to a shack that advertises "FIREWORKS FIREWORKS FIREWORKS" sounds like something out of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon.
To be fair, people aren't usually setting fireworks off right next to the place they bought them, so maybe this place is safe.
Just In Case Of An Emergency
Emergency exits, by their very nature, really only exist to be used in case of an emergency — and emergencies, hopefully, are rare.
That might help explain why this shop has prioritized stacking up boxes of Coke over keeping their emergency exit accessible.
Getting It Done
Is it the safest thing in the world to balance this way while cleaning? No. Should this be done in socks but no shoes? Also no.
Apparently this employee took her shoes off because she thought it would be "unhygienic" to wear them.
Trusting The Horse
You can't always trust animals this much.
You never know what might happen if it were to fail. This man's trust in this horse is astronomical but also a bit foolish.
It Clearly Says "Do Not Bend"
The person who delivered this diploma should be ashamed of themselves.
The package clearly says "do not bend," and they even left the words facing up! This isn't very cool.
"Use A Knife"
If you aren't an expert at opening wine, then you should leave it to those who know what they're doing.
For future reference, once the cork goes in, you stop pushing on the knife.
Caught Up
Well, two people are in the wrong here. Mom shouldn't keep secrets from Dad, and Dad shouldn't yell at Mom for going to a restaurant.
They need to work on a compromise.
The Instructions Are Right There
Well, this is unfortunate. Even with the instructions right there, this person decided to install this roll of toilet paper the worst way possible.
How do you even do this?
What Was He Thinking?
He only had one thing on his mind: fun. It's unfortunate that his size got in the way of what he wanted that day.
I don't know how he ended up getting out of that. Maybe he's still there.
Looking At This Hurts
There may be three mattresses there, but this is still going to hurt.
It's going to hurt even more since he doesn't have a shirt on to absorb the contact on his belly.
Here's What A Broken Neck Looks Like
This man is asking for a broken neck.
There's no reason he should be doing this, and someone in that gym should've stopped him. That might be a light weight for some, but this is still dangerous.
When You Open Paint In The Car
It would be best if you never opened paint in a moving vehicle. There could always be a bump approaching, or you might need to make an abrupt stop.
This person learned the hard way.
When The Mover Overestimates His Abilities
Do you see what happens when you get fancy with stuff?
I can't tell if those are Skittles on the ground, but if they are, that's a lot of wasted candy.
Life On The Edge
Some people live life on the straight and narrow, and others live on the edge.
If you're like this guy, you probably don't fear heights or know what being mortal means.
"My Accidental Sacrifice In The Name Of Art. Goodbye, Eyelashes"
She knows now that she shouldn't have attempted this. When it comes to art, you have to sacrifice, but some sacrifices weigh heavier than others.
Now, the majority of her eyelashes are gone.
Seems Legit
It seems like this could work. Perhaps the ladder will keep the tree from falling over once he's done cutting it.
Maybe he's done this before, but the laws of gravity don't play around.
Pray For Him
I hope he doesn't work like this all the time.
All it takes is one accident and this man will get crushed! He's a pro, but that still doesn't look safe.
He Tried It
He knew better than to try this, but he still did it.
It looks like that was a milkshake and the dog wants to have a taste. Nice move, dude.
Must Have Taken A Few Accidents
It's unclear what circumstances would make it logical to walk through a door that clearly looks into jars of milk...
But clearly, it happened enough times to require a sign.
The Real Origin Of Catmilk
What came first, the cat or the cat milk?
Either way, it would seem a little messed up to want to feed a cat its own milk if it's not a kitten.
Nevermind The "Clip" Part
A manager taped a piece of paper to a clipboard when, with half the effort, they could've used it the way it was meant and just clipped it.
Perhaps the stress of preparing for this meeting got the best of them.
Wrong Turn, Lady
This could be anyone's fault, depending on the situation.
There aren't any cones in front of the wet concrete, which is a problem. Unless they're out of the picture or under the car, the workers shouldn't have left this space without cones.
It's The Thought That Counts
Reddit user moby323 posted this with the caption, "I wanted to cook my wife a fancy meal for her birthday, so I started with a slow-cooked homemade chicken stock. After simmering for hours, the recipe said to pour it through a strainer."
If you ever wondered why some recipes give very simple, very explicit directions ("strain stock into a bowl" for instance), this is why.
Patience Is Key
This poor woman was waiting in line for five whole minutes behind these standing mannequins before she realized that they weren't going to move any time soon.
You could tell from her stance that she was even getting impatient.
Simply Following Instructions
You can't blame whoever filled in these instructions because, technically, if you were to read it literally, he filled in what was asked.
That doesn't justify why he deemed the obvious location to be more valuable information than the date, though.
Lost In Translation
Reddit user mirandaasantos posted this with the caption, "The car insurance lady asked my mom for the front, rear, & side views but she didn't get the memo.."
Did the woman not wonder why a car insurance lady would need this kind of image taken at a police station first?
We All Need A Little Pick-Me-Up
The last thing that anyone needs are some smug paper towels telling us that everything is going to be OK while we clean up a very avoidable mess we created.
Everything is clearly not okay.
6:30 A.M. Seems Really Early Anyway
This was basically their subconscious taking over letting them know that they don't need to get up at 6:30 a.m. for anything or anyone...
and they don't need a calculator either, for that matter.
Time To Get A New One
This is why it's important not to mess around with your toys or electronics in an experimental way—it's just going to end up broken or stuck in a way you can't fix.
This can't be fixed.
Kids Are The Worst
Kids aren't ones for thinking about the feelings of other people until they're in their late 20s and they realize that they should have been nicer to adults all along.
Always be nice to adults.
Oil Is Oil, Right?
There are just some lessons in life that you're going to have to learn the hard way...
Like canola oil is not the same as the oil you need to make your car run smoothly.
It Probably Just Tasted Starchy
I appreciate the commitment to wanting to live a life of zero waste, but pouring pasta water into my pour-over is where I would draw the line.
The line goes to the sink, where that water belongs.
