It's unfortunate that common sense isn't as common as we'd like—if it were, life would be a lot easier. But reality paints a different picture. The people you're about to see made decisions they'd probably prefer to erase. Brace yourself for a collection of hilariously absurd moments that were just begging to go viral.
"Our Teacher Attempting To Cover The Answers"
How did this person become a teacher if their idea for hiding answers was this? Clearly, a simple piece of paper isn't going to block anything on a projector screen.
Man Laughed When Told The First Snow Fall Was Coming
If you drive a car like this, it's smart to pay attention to snow warnings.
Now, the damage inside is all his responsibility.
They Couldn't Make It More Obvious They Don't Care
As Reddit user Intelleblue explained, this is a sadly common occurrence at their workplace. It's almost impressive that the delivery people were able to get it there while everything was so precariously balanced, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with when it arrives.
Apparently, the delivery company is under the impression that the people at this business want to play an expensive game of Jenga every time they get a shipment.
There's No Way The Employees Did This By Accident
As Reddit user CJ-eagle explained, they picked up a coffee at Starbucks for their partner, Charmaine. Unless they have an unusual accent, it's very hard to tell how that name turned into this.
Not only is it baffling to consider that someone would assume someone's parents named them this, butit would also make a lot of folks very worried about the contents of this cup.
Clearly, This Worked Better In His Soon-To-Be Injured Head
It is amazing what some photographers can capture moments before disaster and this adventurous young man has starred in a perfect example of that phenomenon.
It's unclear how many flips he completed before this happened, but this should definitely be his last attempt for the day.
Well, There Are Certainly Worse Lessons To Learn The Hard Way
This man's Snapchats tell the story of his regret all on his own but that mark is probably going to be asked about a lot by people who don't follow him there.
It may be a little embarrassing to have to keep retelling over and over, but at least the mark will go away after a while and the story has him coming off as a fun dad. It could be a lot worse.
"Mistakes Were Made This Morning"
This is definitely a case where a picture is worth 1,000 words, even if some of those words are needed to explain the context of what's going on here.
But once we have those, it's clear that someone meant to drink some vanilla almond milk and got a mouthful of chicken stock instead. That's one way to wake yourself up in the morning, but I don't see it catching on.
Interesting Plan
Look, it's definitely inconvenient if you're not quite able to reach your target and need to improvise, but this improvisation has perhaps gone a bit too far.
After the branch — the only thing supporting the ladder — is cut, what happens to the ladder?
Asleep On The Job
If this worker wants to nap on the job, surely there's a less conspicuous and less deadly place to do so.
Personally, I'd rather nap in a comfy truck cab than in something that might shred me into oblivion, but that's just me.
Sometimes, Honesty Isn't Quite The Best Policy
Unless the chef is perfectly competent and just suffering from low self-esteem, it's usually a good idea to scrap a soup and serve the customers a new one if it can be described as "crap."
In all seriousness, they probably meant to say that the soup had crab in it but wow, is that an unfortunate typo.
This Is Pretty Funny Mistake For Everyone But This Chair's Owner
Apparently, this person bought the wrong gas lift for their gaming chair. Whether it's intended for vehicles or some other kind of heavy-duty equipment, it's clearly a little too powerful for the task at hand.
On the one hand, it's sort of lucky that it didn't make the chair blast off from its stand. On the other hand, there's no way is this person is reaching the foot pedals on that drum set now. A seven-foot-tall drummer might appreciate it, at least.
Sure, They Seem Totally Legit
Any mavens of the fashion out world out there who have never heard of "L'Honne" or "Joop!" need not worry that they're out of step or falling behind.
As it turns out, the uploader's mother bought these fragrances out of the back of somebody's van and apparently didn't question any of it. I'm afraid that exclamation mark isn't going to stop us from being suspicious of the ingredients in this stuff.
If It Makes Him Feel Any Better, Others Didn't Know He Could Do That
As eReadingAuthor explained, her husband sat on his car key fob, which put the windows on their car down just before it started snowing.
The timing is unfortunate and that's sure to be an annoying mess to clean up but if it's any consolation, it taught a lot of other people a valuable lesson. They didn't know the fob even had that function.
One Simple Mistake Destroyed Weeks Of Work
For those unclear on what's happening here, Reddit user Stepped-leader is conducting what is likely wildlife research and collecting data using trail cameras like this one.
However, they somehow set it up in a way that covered the lens, either with the strap shown here or by leaving the lens cap on. Since it took them three weeks to notice this, Bigfoot and his cryptid friends could have thrown a whole breakdancing jamboree in that time, and they'd have no idea.
That Doesn't Seem Smart
Unless they live just steps away from the gas station, making it home without spilling any fuel was likely a challenge.
One sudden stop, and everything could spill in an instant.
"Woman At Station Using Gasoline To Clean Bumper"
Honestly, I've never seen anyone do this before either.
It might get the job done, but it's definitely the worst thing you'd want to use to clean your car.
There's A Story Here
We're not sure what exactly happened to this forklift, but whatever it was, it packed enough punch to completely bend one fork.
We can only assume that the person responsible for this didn't come back to work after realizing their error.
Toddlers And Cars...
Here's the end result of a toddler spilling two gallons (!) of paint inside a car. Their parents took the car to the shop for cleaning.
While it may technically be possible to return this car to a pristine state, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
Read Before You Buy
If this person had paid attention to the product details, they might have avoided returning it.
The description clearly states it stops working after 30 minutes, so perhaps an employee should have informed them beforehand.
"She Was Waiting In Line For 5 Minutes"
How did she not realize the mannequins were completely still? You'd think after five minutes of zero movement, she might wonder, "Wait a second, these people haven't budged!"
Honestly, that's pretty wild.
Feel The Rain On Your Skin
To summarize, a driver brought their car in to the shop because they could hear wind coming from the back of their vehicle.
A helpful mechanic assessed the issue and was able to solve it by...closing the rear window.
A Helpful Reminder
When you need to remind yourself of something important, it can be helpful to leave a note or even a reference guide to refer to later.
Of course, most of us already know our lefts and rights, but apparently this trips some of us up.
"My Manager Taped A Piece Of Paper To A Clipboard"
Isn't the whole point of a clipboard to hold the papers for you, so you don't have to? Why this "manager" felt the need to prop them up like that is beyond us.
You'd think someone would've mentioned it during that all-hands meeting.
No One Warned Him?
Why didn't anyone warn him what would happen if he licked that giant piece of ice?
His tongue is probably still stuck there today, but that's a lesson he had to learn.
Fun Day At Chernobyl
This seemingly innocuous pic gets somewhat concerning when you consider the fact that a) these girls are at the Chernobyl exclusion zone, and b) they're sitting on what is apparently the most radioactive thing in the area.
Whatever the long-term effects may be, at least they got a fun photo out of their adventure.
Hey, Ships Don't Go There
Whatever your worst-ever mistake at work may have been, odds are good that it wasn't so massive that it could be measured in raw tonnage.
Whoever lives in this idyllic seaside cottage must have received the surprise of a lifetime.
Isn't That Tire Missing Something?
I'm not the biggest car expert, but where's the rest of the tire?
There's no rubber on it, so what's the point of having it on the back of your SUV?
It Might Fit
If you believe hard enough, then it might fit. If not, then you're going to have to figure something else out for that giant box.
Maybe you should've asked a friend with a bigger car to help.
Change Your Water Bottles
Whether you go with a Yeti, a Stanley, or something cheaper, it's a good idea to have a reusable water bottle that you frequently clean.
After all, if you just reuse the same disposable water bottle for years on end, this is what you get.
Job's Almost Done
Have you ever looked at a seemingly inaccesible lightbulb and wondered how it got changed?
In some cases, it's done safely and professionally. Of course, results may vary.
Good Luck With That
Maybe this person wanted to lose their life. How do you expect to see with that much snow on your windshield?
Also, how did they even see the road and make it to the highway?
"I Saw Someone Washing Their SUV Today"
If you're going to clean your car, wouldn't it be best if you shut your doors first?
She probably got in the car and asked where all this water came from.
I Bet They Failed The Course
The saddest part about this interaction is that they will never understand that they are the second type of person who is silently alluded to on the shirt in the first place.
You know that he was happy his shirt worked.
All By Herself
Some people have a knack for doing things they shouldn't. How do you crash in an empty parking lot?
Was she going to try doing some donuts or was this her first time driving?
She's In Too Deep
The crazy part about this is that this woman took a couple of steps before realizing she messed up.
I wonder how long it took for her to get out of that?
A Thief's Dream
A thief in need of a bike would love to see something this easy.
How are you going to lock up your bike this poorly and expect to see it when you come back?
