Sometimes, the person causing your issues is the person staring back at you in the mirror. We've all been the cause of our own problems at least once, and it isn't fun.

When you first slide the ring on your finger, you know if it's going to fit or not. This man was too determined.

He ended up at the hospital because he didn't know when to stop. That's his fault and his only.

Someone was too drunk to recognize the difference between a phone and a Snickers. That's too bad.

While she was making her face glow, the mirror made the laptop catch fire. It left a pretty big mark, but it's not too bad.

First, you lose your meal, and the money you spent on the vase is now down the drain. Do you buy a new one or not?

This is why you don't play with glue that isn't Elmer's original white glue. Anything else, and you're going to stick something together like your fingers.

It doesn't look too bad, but it didn't have to happen. That should heal up in a matter of days or maybe a week.

Boy, this tells a wild story. I just can't determine if they fall on their backside or front, but my money is on the back.

It looks like whoever this was started walking and slipped like someone dropped a banana peel in front of them.

Scatterbrained would be the word for this mishap. Although, I do see the laundry room next to the kitchen, so that adds another layer to the mistake.

This person probably had the pod in their hand but decided to clean the dishes before putting in their clothes.

He's Asking For It

Be honest, do you think this man finished the job without falling off that ladder? If he did, he's only playing with death if he does it again.

His friend shouldn't have let him even try this because it looks highly dangerous. That's a long way up.

Hey, at least he got one of the eggs to make it! The one on the counter looks pretty lonely over there.

Why can't everyone be as nice as this stranger that helped this drunk guy? He treated him like he was his friend.

Too bad this guy can't depend on everyone being this friendly. He could've gotten robbed and left on the streets.

When you forget to blow out a candle, you never know what it might do. This one decided to burn a TV with no remorse.

At least it didn't completely ruin the TV. It's just a hard lesson to learn about candles and how to handle them better.

And there goes dinner! Nothing is worse than starving as you wait for dinner, only to have it pushed back even more.
