We all have bad ideas from time to time, and that’s normal. Sometimes, we miscalculate our ideas, we don’t understand the dangers of the situation, and sometimes, these crazy ideas seem to work in our mind but turns out to be disastrous when executed.
Though, it’s a fact that men mostly have the best moments when it comes to bad decisions. From risky window cleaning to trying a very dangerous stunt – these men should be in the hall of fame for bad decisions!
We have collected 75 of these hilarious yet dangerously scary photos and situations of men who thought that their ideas would actually work.
You’d sure to laugh, gasp in disbelief, and even have many face palm moments but it’ll be all worth it!
1) A very dangerous cleaning strategy
Doing your job well is commendable but putting your own personal safety isn’t. Just like this one here.
It’s already dangerous to climb up that very thin ledge but this guy managed to mop it as well. Just looking how far he needs to go would make anyone dizzy!
2) The upside down ladder
We’re not sure what’s going on here, maybe he was thinking that since the feet of the ladder is wide, he won’t be able to balance it.
That’s the reason why he did this one, but we’re pretty sure it’s not at all safe. Definitely one bad decision!
3) The daredevil
Looks like this is something to impress the ladies, don’t you think?
While there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be “cool” sometimes, you might get in trouble along the way.
We must say, he’s very lit! We just hope it won’t be too explosive!
4) A trusting friend
When you need to get the job done and you need a helping hand, why not ask a friend?
This case is special though, it shows trust – a lot of it!
We just hope that he’s friend who’s holding the ladder won’t feel tired easily.
5) He’s definitely asking for it
There is so much going on in this photo! Sadly, everything here is definitley wrong.
We’re pretty sure this guy wanted to be inventive and clever and yeah, he was able to get up but for how long?
6) A guy who knows his lines
Here’s a guy who definitely knows his lines. Maybe a little too much.
What a clever way to prevent yourself from falling! Those line should be put to good use, right?
7) Sturdy ladder extension
When there is just a small portion to finish, you just want to get the job done – even if it means getting yourself in a very dangerous situation.
A little miscalculation, a little wiggle or a wobble might cause this guy a nasty injury.
8) Together, we’re stronger
When you need to get something done, you don’t need to call in the professionals!
Just do what these guys are doing, surely you’ll see how helping each can get the work done. Look at how clever they all are. No need to worry about safety, right?
After all, it’s just a light bulb – no biggie.
9) I got you, buddy!
When you just need to tighten some loose screws, why get all the trouble to get a ladder?
Just ask a your trusted friend to hold your feet like this one and you’ll finish the work in a jiffy.
10) The fastest Internet
This Internet provider tech may want to compete for the best employee of the year.
In order to fix the Internet connection, he’ll set aside his own safety and just cross the fingers that his idea would work.
11) No ladder? Improvise
As they say, sometimes you have to use what’s available.
This is the reason why this guy chose to build his own jenga oh, we mean a very creative way to reach what he’s repairing.
We’re hoping the best for you buddy!
12) Seen this in the movies
13) The many uses of a bucket
This bucket has many uses. As you can see, it can also be used as a stool but instead of putting it upside down, he chose to balance and to stay still while working.
Maybe he likes challenges?
14) What’s going on here?
Are they trying to break a record here? Is this a dare? An experiment?
We just hope no one gets burned or hit hard by a bicycle.
15) Light as a feather
This man is really stubborn. We understand that he wants to get the farthest bottle available but he could have just ask for help, right?
Instead, he relied on his decision making and decided to step on those poor bottles of wine. Lucky for him they didn’t break!
16) What is that around his neck?
We’re bothered by that guy who’s just sitting there doing nothing but we’re more concerned about the guy in the ladder.
Aside from all the safety hazard of this situation, we want to know what’s that around his neck!
17) No ladder? No biggie!
It’s funny how this guy chose this to be his improvised ladder.
As it says, “think safety, work safely”. We’re guessing he didn’t have time to “think” about it. Oh, and that drill makes us worried too.
18) Nope. Just nope!
A big slab of concrete only being held by a machine with no one inside it.
Does he have some kind of a death wish? Because it certainly looks like it.
19) Sparkly eyes
Do you see the sparkle in his eyes? Of course we do!
We’re not sure why he didn’t realize that he is in a very dangerous situation.
Maybe he thinks it’ll add a spark to his personality?
20) Forklift lifting a forklift
Sometimes, ideas tend to be a little crazy and might just work but not all.
That’s why you need to ask someone about it. This men surely made a bad decision here. Though, they look convinced that it’s a great idea.
21) Define safety
22) The strength of a zip tie
23) An example of something you shouldn’t do
24) Show off!
Sure, it’s nice to have fun and even dare each other to see who’s the toughest but this one?
Well, it’s more than just a silly game, it’s a very dangerous one too. He’s risking so much in this position.
25) A skill to learn
This is actually very common to people in this type of work. Believe it or not, they get so used to this that it’s a skill for them.
Though, if you’re not a pro, then that’s a very bad decision to try and do it.
26) The yoga master
Kudos to this guy who seem to know how to put his yoga practice into work.
Just standing in that ladder and holding the weight of a full grown man?
Wow! We just hope he can maintain that posture.
27) Hang on tight!
28) The ladder solution
What’s up with men and ladders? This guy seem to need an extension to his ladder.
His solution?
Add his tool box and balance his way into finishing his work. We’re not sure if we’re proud or scared or both!
29) I don’t need a ladder
30) Not only in the movies
31) You’re doing it all wrong
32) Please see warning sign
Clearly, the warning sign says no eating or drinking because there’s poison there.
We’re not sure why they don’t seem to care at all?
It even looks like there is a party going on here. Eat well guys!
33) Just hang in there
34) The confident employee
Even though you are, it’s still not right to do dangerous jobs without protection. This guy calmly cleans the windows without any harness or protection on.
35) Scary scaffolding
36) Not safe but cool
Sometimes, you have to choose. To maintain proper safety or to stay cool.
This guy choose the latter. A definitely bad decision but hey, at least his hair is still cool, huh?
37) Is it a clever idea?
When you don’t have the proper equipment to finish the job but you’re really dedicated – then what?
Well, this guy decided that maybe putting 2 ladders together would work. Maybe it would, maybe it won’t. Would you even risk it?
38) Not the smartest guy
We all make bad decisions, but doing more than 3 at the same time?
That’s world record.
From thinking that his idea will work to those sandals and that inside out shorts, this guy is asking for it!
39) Fingers crossed
So many questions! Why are they doing this? Look at their reactions, especially the one in the middle.
They look like they know what might happen and yet they’re messing with this dangerous warhead!
What do you think happened here?
40) The sturdy shopping cart
Based on his uniform, this guy looks like he’s a professional. So, we’re wondering why he didn’t have the right tools with him and why of all the things he could use, would he use a shopping cart?
Looks like it didn’t even have stoppers on the wheels as well. We can clearly imagine him getting in an unfortunate situation here.
41) The only reasonable explanation
42) I can fly!
Sometimes, ideas are supposed to stay as ideas. Just like this man’s decision to try a very dangerous and silly trick.
He has quite a lot of time to think about this, just look at the preparation he did. We’re guessing it didn’t end well.
43) I got your bum, man!
A twist to the old saying that “I got your back.” These guy is seen supporting his friend from his bum.
Sure, with that amount of work, the rusty ladder, and that thin piece of wood, and the bum support will prevent him from falling down.
44) Seems sturdy enough
45) Falling many ways
Can you climb this? We’d be a little nervous doing so, imagine falling sideways or backwards.
We’re hoping that everything is well-tied up and he’d be safe here.
46) Not a ladder job
Good thing we’re not seeing ladders here! Though, we don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing since these guys chose to use a truck to do the job.
We’re pretty sure that this isn’t a job for a truck.
47) Care to try?
These two friends were brave enough to go cycling on the Cliffs of Moher. They seem so confident but we’re not!
Even looking at this photo is already making us sweat in fear!
48) The human ladder
Out of budget? A challenge at work? We’re not sure but creating a human ladder isn’t something that you’d see every day.
They look so nervous with their own stunt but we’re wondering how they were able to pull this off?
49) Don’t worry, we got you! Pinky promise!
We’re not sure how these guys were able to convince their co-worker to do this.
Maybe they did a “pinky promise” that they got him and will not let go?
50) Oh, boys!
When you have boys then you know how they like to do silly things sometimes. Take this photo as a very good example.
That ramp is clearly not enough and that poor boy must have cried a lot after this shot. You know why.
51) Just one wrong move
Taking time to study this photo makes us more nervous.
From the pile up that only has less than an inch allowance to the thin piece of wood where he’s climbing.
Clearly one bad decision!
52) Think outside the box
No protective gear? No problem!
This guy is clearly thinking outside the box by using a box to protect him. Now, he’s surely protected!
How clever is that?
53) The power of the caution tape
When you see a croc who broke out the enclosure, what else can you do?
Put a caution tape, of course!
That will surely save everyone from the possible danger!
54) Improvised scaffold holder
This is clearly our top favorite now! Scaffoldings are meant to be supported by a “proper” machine and not some improvised “hope it works” invention like this one.
They’re clearly asking for it!
55) A good protection
Is he kidding? Propably not. Of all the materials, why would he choose to use plastic?
It’s putting him in more danger than safety.
56) He prefers the bucket
This guy prefers to wear a bucket over his head instead of his helmet. See, there’s his helmet in his handle bars.
What’s up with that?
57) Horsey Horsey
What better way to prepare for a fall in the pool than to wear your boxers?
He knows what will and can happen, right? Look at that horsey toy there. Unless he wants to have a thrill while working, then it’s the right decision.
58) I don’t need shipping
Who needs shipping when you can bring home your own TV?
Just a couple of patience, a good grip, and a clearly bad decision. Just a few minutes and you’re home!
59) A little bit more and we’re done
Look at this man’s bad decision and strong faith to this door. We’re hoping he can reach that small piece left to paint.
60) Spiderman
Safety gear? Harness? Nah, we just need this spiderman guy and the job gets done quickly.
He doesn’t even looked bothered by the height!
61) At least he has the safety rope
This guy has his safety rope and gear and that’s a good thing, right?
Though we’re not sure why it’s not connected to anything. Can we still call it a safety rope in this case?
62) Those rubber boots
Water + electrical wires?
Shocking isn’t?
Maybe this guy doesn’t know that? Or he just likes making bad decisions?
We’re hoping those rubber boots can save him.
63) How to transport a ladder
64) The icicle game
Looks like this guy is playing chances with his own icicle game.
The chances of losing here is greater and that makes it more exciting, right?
65) All for one, one for all
These guys are so dedicated with their work that they’re holding on to this dear ladder to help their friend.
We’re hoping their arms won’t get tired.
66) Weeeeee
67) Heights don’t bother me
This guy loves to have clean windows. Who wouldn’t? He’s also very hands on when it comes to cleaning his home.
Heights? Nah, not a thing for him. He loves doing this and thinks it’s a stress reliever.
68) He doesn’t have shaky legs
Great house design but changing the light bulbs can be quite life threatening.
We understand he used a ladder to get there but how in the world would he get down?
69) What was he thinking?
Sure, this guy just made a bad decision – twice.
To choose to stand on the gas tank while he is using his saw as a screwdriver – dangerously clever!
70) You fall, I fall
Cutting a tree, we’ve seen that before but cutting the tree that supports your ladder?
One of a kind!
71) Precious hair
Looks like it took him years to care for such beautiful hair that’s why he would rather protect it than his head.
We hope he made the right decision though.
72) Definitely, not the smartest
73) Jump to your death
Looking for a game that has excitement? Well, try this one!
You can jump and jump and who know’s, that jump might just be your last.
74) Think safety first
We love this poster! Though, this guy who decided to take a very risky way of putting the poster sure didn’t read it first.
Look at how he was doing it! Maybe he can’t wait for the ladder or just likes to break the rules.
75) Target practice
This boy sure loves his bow and arrow. Looks like dad gave it to him too.
He could have gotten him a target board as well. At least he won’t be one of them! Ouch!
