We all make mistakes. Sometimes, we all look a little dumb. After all, we canโt know everything there is to know. However, some fails are worse than others.
Thanks to the internet, those moments are saved forever. Here are 50 people who left us facepalming. Weโre actually embarrassed for them.
#1 Good throw
We donโt know how this happened. However, there is photo evidence to back it up.

#2 Why did you go there?
National Parks are full of nature. Since when does nature need wifi and Starbucks?

#3 Just no
When someone says something like this, how do you even respond? Do you start by explaining how elevators work?

#4 Why is that a search option?
We all know how search engines work. Some of the most likely things to be searched pop to the top. So, exactly how many people are asking if cannibalism is vegan?

#5 Donโt forget anything
Getting through airport security can be distracting and stressful. Remember to check for your phone, your shoes, and your baby.

#6 Oops
When discussing errors in writing, do not make your own. You will be called out immediately.

#7 Doing it wrong
Email scams have increased since the coronavirus epidemic began. Some, however, are easier to spot than others.

#8 Theyโre going to kill us all
Safety is important. So is not derailing a train. Thatโs not how those devices work.

#9 Wellโฆ
Following instructions just became a whole lot more difficult. What are our options?

#10 Ears, eyesโฆalmost the same thing
Thatโs not how going deaf works. Thatโs not how anything works (except blindness).

#11 When you wait three years to be right
Everyone on the internet is sure they are right. Sometimes, it just takes commenting three years later to make sure.

#12 Mask fail
Itโs cute, but remind us again. How does a mask work?

#13 Thatโs not a dog
They thought they had found a stray dog. They brought the coyote inside their home so they could find its owner. At least they make up for their lack of brains with some really big hearts.

#14 Point = missed
Yes, we know COVID is on everyoneโs minds. However, there are other reasons to give cyclist space. They are the same reasons we have always tried to avoid running over cyclists.

#15 Math is hard
We donโt know what their math teacher spends all day doing. We just know that it isnโt teaching math.

#16 Excuses
Some excuses are really bad. The question is, what does it say about the people who believe them?

#17 When you live in a horror movie
Screaming, โDonโt go into the woods!โ while watching horror movies used to make sense. Until you realize that people would be in the woods having barbeques in droves even if there was a known ax murderer roaming free.

#18 Take your chances
We guess they never realized there might be more than one Monday in a month. Would you risk it?

#22 Pay attention in class
Yes, itโs a cool looking little symbol. However, we do not think they are using it how they think they are using it.

#23 Foul
Some things are just a game and should not be taken seriously. A game of basketball might be one of those things.

#24 Thatโs metal
One would think that Spotify would know music. Nope. This is what they think metal is.

#25 Just stop asking questions
Should we tell them why there are zeroes? Maybe we can leave it as a surprise.

#26 She has a point
A major pandemic chose the wrong year to enter America. Never enter America during an election year. It is a magical year in which absolutely everything, even a surgical mask, gets sprinkled with election fairy dust and becomes deeply political for both sides.
Before 2020, it was just a mask that surgeons wore.

#27 Choices
So, is it an option? Can you pick death or a $200 fine? Maybe they just like adding insult to injury (or, in this case, to death).

#28 Math is hard
Letโs just be happy she didnโt have to calculate the tip as well. If that happened, it could have ended in a nuclear war.

#29 Questions, answers, questions
Do you ever feel like youโre going in circles? Maybe youโre orbiting the star that is your sun.

#30 School is important
Exactly what direction would one be facing if they turned around 360 degrees? This poster clearly didnโt pay attention in geometry.

#31 Where am I?
You remember that time the UK got a divorce from the European Union and then just floated away to join Iceland or America? Yeah, we donโt remember that either.

#32 Just no
There is already a Motherโs Day in addition to Fatherโs Day. Parentsโ Day is when mom and dad have to argue over which one is going to school to listen to the teacher discuss your grades.

Itโs the thought that counts. Still, if she marries him, she might not want to leave him in charge of anything too important.

#34 Itโs not Chinese
They were having trouble drawing people in with Chinese food. This change to the name should fix everything.

#35 Find the area
We would hope that the people who create tests are somewhat intelligent. However, even they have their bad days.

#36 Finding SpongeBob
When most people get drunk, they laugh too much, fall over, or say things they shouldnโt. It takes a special kind to go hunting for SpongeBob.

#37 What time is it?
Time zones can be tricky. However, most people โ such as those in the UK โ only live in one time zone.

Thatโs a very accurate description of an upside-down pizza. We wonder how long it took them to realize what was going on.

#42 Somethingโs missing
Temperature checks have been required for entry to some places since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. However, this is not normally how it is done.

#44 Geography lesson
This protest is in India. Itโs against Chinese products. Yet, that shape looks suspiciously like a map of the United States.

#45 You had one job
Not everyone is having a good day at work. Still, when you put things on sale, the price should usually be lower than the original one.

People check their spelling all the time using Google. Apparently, they also check this.
