Most men like to act like they can fix anything. We pretend to have all the DIY knowledge out there and we never, ever, get lost while driving. The truth is, however, that we donโt have all of the answers. Some of us may be more skilled than others when it comes to handyman jobs, but at the end of the day, no single guy can know how to do everythingโbut that sure wonโt stop us from trying. Check out this list of 45 men who faced-off against the laws of nature and failed and be sure to share it with a friend!
#1 Friends
Do you know whatโs worse than making a bad decision on your own? Having someone there to make that same bad decision with you.
#2 Spatial awareness
Itโs important to have a clear workspace and plenty of room. This is why.
#3 Going for a ride
Two on a motorbike isnโt that uncommon. However, this isnโt normally the way itโs done.
#4 Weight limit
We wonder what the weight limit of an air conditioning unit is. We somehow doubt itโs intended to support a person.
#5 Not the proudest driver
To be fair, car accidents happen. Egos donโt even need to be involved.
#6 Thatโll do
What do you do if you need to work under a large boulder without getting crushed? Shove two sticks under it. That should work.
#7 More heights
There are methods for accessing the outside of buildings safely. This is not one of those methods.
#8 Itโs not just construction
There are other hazards in life beyond high heights. There are also relationship pitfalls to avoid.
#9 Flammable
Smoking on the job is bad enough usually. He takes it to a whole new level of danger.
#10 Life or death
Summer can suck when the air conditioner is broken. However, itโs probably not worth risking your life over it.
#11 Good thing heโs wearing a helmet
The first thing you would notice here is how did this guy got up there, and the next question would be, how can he stay up there and not fall? Itโs either heโs really good with his balance, or itโs just luck. Good thing heโs wearing his helmet, right?
#12 Cringe worthy
There are so many things that can go wrong in this one picture. How did he ever think this was a good idea?
#13 Fiery
Well, if it doesnโt set his jeans on fire, it might only heat up the tubing that the fuel is going through. Thereโs no way that could end badlyโฆ
#14 Weeeee
Weโre not really sure what heโs up to, maybe heโs trying to repair something, or perhaps heโs just goofing around. Though one thingโs for sure; it sure looks like fun! Look at that made-up swing!
#15 What could go wrong?
It seemed like a good idea when they saw it on YouTube. Note: Not everything on YouTube should be tried.
#16 What?
Okay. We donโt actually know what is going on here. Whatever it is, this doesnโt seem like the best way to do it.
#17 Impending disaster
This is just plain dangerous. Even looking at it is enough to make most people too nervous to try it. Unfortunately, it didnโt seem to faze this guy.
#18 Bad idea
We understand that sometimes it takes some innovation to reach difficult areas. This is not innovation. This is insanity.
#19 โHold my legs!โ
Arenโt there safety harnesses and ladders for these types of situations? What are they thinking?
#20 Just cleaning the windows
He just needed to step outside for a moment to get the bird poo off the outside of the window. No worries. Itโs not as if the window is more than twenty stories up.
Oh, wait. Itโs exactly like that.
#21 Not a good idea
We do not know how they came up with this idea. Weโre not even sure we want to know. As for how it turned out, we can only assume that it went badly.
#22 Another brave soul
Here we have another man with a little too much bravery. At least he doesnโt have as far to fall.
#23 How?
Well, it seems to be almost tall enough for whatever he is doing. So, thereโs that.
#24 Safety bucket
This guy at least acknowledges the need for safety. How he applies that knowledge is another matter.
#25 Nope
That is not even remotely stable. He is aware that doors swing, right? Thereโs living on the edge, and then thereโs this.
#26 Above it all
This is why women live longer than men. There may be no other reason.
#27 Witchy
He clearly wanted the perfect photo, and he managed to get it. However, we have to wonder if it was really worth the risk.
#28 Walk the plank
Itโs a nice job when everyone gets to stand around all day acting as a ballast. Well, itโs nice for everyone who isnโt the guy on the other end of the board.
#29 Fail
Getting the car in the garage with only the press of a button seemed like the best idea ever. However, all it took was someone pressing the button at the wrong time just once to result in this.
#30 Just no
They wanted to have lunch in the shade, so they made themselves some shade. This was not approved by and safety organization ever.
#31 Precarious
How they have elaborately stacked everything together is impressive. However, risking your neck on it might be going too far.
#32 Not the best idea
There is pushing your limits, and then there is just plain pushing limits. Something is going to go wrong.
#33 Getting under the truck
Sometimes, you need to lift a vehicle up to do some repairs. Usually, one would use a lift or a car jack.
#34 The medical bills
Yes, carrying the sofa down the stairs will probably take longer. However, those extra three minutes could help you avoid a trip to the hospital.
#35 Um
Is that a ladder? How did they climb it?
#36 Red spray paint
He needed to spray paint something. It should have been a simple job. Unfortunately, the nozzle was pointing in the wrong direction. And, yes, thatโs red paint.
#37 Death defying
There is something about working on windows that makes men everywhere forget the fear of death. We donโt know what it is, but itโs hard to deny.
#38 Teamwork
What is better than one man who is sure he can get anything done without a ladder? Two men with no ladder. Yikes.
#39 Trust
When youโre working all day with the same people and equipment, you may begin to trust them. However, there are still some cases when you shouldnโt put all of your trust in them.
#40 Just why?
Was that really the best way to reach the skylight? We have to wonder.
#41 โHold my beer!โ
Itโs always nice to have a friend who will help you move. Next time, find a friend who will help you rent a moving truck.
#42 Not recommended
Somehow, we do not think this was listed anywhere in the job safety manual. In fact, it might have been listed in the โnever do thisโ section.
#43 The sweater
At least he will survive this. Probably. We have to admit itโs a pretty bad sweater.
#44 Holding on
Itโs not the level of relaxation of guy at the top you should be looking at. Itโs the amount of effort the guy at the bottom is putting in that should be concerning. Thatโs not going to hold much longer.
#45 Safety first
Does he even work for the electric company? Weโre starting to wonder.
#46 Use as instructed
The reason a jackhammer is held with the hands is so they can be used to grip it. This is not going to end well.
#47 No ladder needed
Hereโs a question. What painter shows up to a job without a ladder?
#48 Precarious
The most concerning thing about this picture is a woman and child are about to walk in front of that. Donโt do it!
#49 โHold this for meโ
Usually, when youโre asking for something to be held up, itโs a screwdriver or a lightbulb. Itโs not usually the ladder youโre standing on.
#50 Bad idea
They wanted to lift the car up to get a look beneath. This is how they chose to do it.
#51 Innovative
This *might* be slightly safer than the other. Maybe. Possibly. Actually, probably not, but we have to admit itโs a creative way to get the hedges done.
#52 Updating the will
Clean windows are important. So are basic safety measures. Only one of those is happening here.
