Sometimes good intentions kick off an idea that quickly goes off the rails. Other times, the concept is flawed from the start—but still manages to get the green light.
These photos prove that not every plan works out. In fact, some end up being total disasters.
These Cheeseless McCheese Bites
McCheese bites might sound tempting on paper, but some customers—like this one—are left disappointed when they take a bite and find no cheese inside.
It seems the cheese melts away during frying and never quite makes it through to the drive-thru with the rest of the order.
This Man Who Played Himself
In this all-too-common battle between a shopper and stubborn packaging, an initial mistake by the person ended up handing the win to the packaging.
Consequently, the computer mouse inside was seriously damaged and became completely unusable.
Those Weren't Yours To Give
This office fridge has something that should delight everyone: A package of delicious Tim Tams cookies with a note inviting workers to help themselves.
The problem, though, is that this was a clear shot across the bow, because the person who actually bought these did not intend for them to be shared. Instead, a mysterious coworker took it upon themselves to put this sign on the package.
Just End The Call
"My friend facetimed her boyfriend so he could watch a movie with us," wrote this infuriated Redditor, who backed it up with a picture of the awkward movie night in question.
Look, it doesn't matter how smitten you are — it never makes sense to watch an entire movie through your partner's Facetime camera. Just watch the same movie independently and compare notes later.
Mom Is Always Living Life On The Edge
The caption reads: "This is how my wife leaves a dish after pulling it from the oven and just WALKS AWAY. We have kids and a dog..."
She's playing with fire here—and doesn’t seem the least bit worried. Let’s hope luck is on her side.
This Inconvenient Door
The person who installed this door somehow put it on completely backward, with the handle and hinges on the same side.
Though the door still works, you have to turn the handle and push on the opposite side at the same time to open it.
A Carpeted Bathroom To Haunt Your Dreams
If bathroom carpeting is already a questionable choice, this one takes it to a whole new level.
The pink retro carpet extends up the bathtub wall and even wraps around the base of the toilet—and honestly, just looking at the photo makes you imagine the smell.
That's Not How Fly Swatters Are Used
Fly swatters work well for smashing flies but aren't so effective as thrown weapons when the target is out of reach.
One person threw their swatter at a fly resting on the ceiling—only to have it get stuck in their skylight. Definitely a case of questionable decision-making.
Advertising Is Taking Over The Ocean
Picture planning a stunning beach getaway, only to find a massive floating billboard blocking your ocean view.
Advertisers have discovered a new way to take advantage of what used to be open, uninterrupted sea vistas.
This Hula-Hoop That's Now A Permanent Fixture On The House
Cable installers have a reputation for turning simple tasks into unusual situations.
In this case, the cable technician didn't bother moving a lone children’s hula hoop sitting in the yard — instead, they drilled a hole in the wall and routed the cable right through the hoop.
Amazon Stikes Again With Over-Packaging
Amazon's excessive packaging is nothing new, but this case takes it to another level.
A customer ordered 27 books and, instead of receiving them in a single shipment, got 27 individual packages—one for each book.
Taking An Informed Guess That Jeff Is The Worst
There's always that one person who treats the world like it’s theirs to ruin—and today, that person was Jeff.
Instead of tagging a bathroom stall or notebook like a typical teenager, Jeff decided to scrawl his name across an ancient rock face in a stunning forest, leaving his mark in the worst possible way.
The Only Wrong Way To Eat A Burrito
Burritos come rolled and wrapped for a reason but this woman seems to have thrown the rules out the window.
She always deconstructs her burritos and pulls them apart to eat like a big messy tortilla plate. It's almost like there should be a tortilla bowl option for people like this... Oh, wait.
This Packaging For OCD Medication
Someone shared a picture of the medication that they are prescribed to treat their OCD.
The mildly infuriating packaging design would likely bother most people who don't have obsessive-compulsive tendencies and triggers.
Knitting Ramen
Being able to do something doesn't always mean you should—and knitting a scarf out of wet ramen noodles is definitely one of those cases.
There’s something oddly unsettling about it, though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why.
Solo Potatoes For Sale
These individual potatoes for sale are wrapped in plastic.
If only potatoes came in their own natural skin of some kind so that plastic packaging wouldn't be necessary. So much for saving the planet.
A Locker To Keep None Of Your Things In
At this high school, students are given lockers that are barely longer than a typical pencil.
Storing anything more than a few sheets of paper and some small books in these doll-sized lockers proves to be quite a challenge.
A Toilet Paper Roll In The Wrong Spot
Having a heat and air vent in the bathroom is excellent for maintaining a comfortable temperature, but placing the toilet paper holder directly above a floor vent is a poor design decision.
When conditions align just right, the airflow from the vent can cause the toilet paper to unravel uncontrollably.
