Things don’t always go as smoothly as you want. We’ve all tried DIY and failed embarrassingly. The good news is that it happens to everyone, so there’s no shame in making a mistake here or there. But when it happens to someone else, we can feel a little better we aren’t the only ones and be able to get a few laughs from it. Let’s begin!
A Really Flat Screen
For instance, look how badly this person’s flat-screen TV installation went. I don’t think they’re getting a refund for that.
You were the chosen one!
There is some tasty irony in being damaged by the very thing that was supposed to protect you. Either the rubber and wires in those wires were too weak, or the people manufacturing these plastic cases need to calm down a bit.
Next time, just eat it.
Photographing your food is nice and all, but it can get a bit obnoxious when you take it too far. Well, I hope this person didn’t like soup.
That’s a different kind of love, mate.
See, this is why graphic design is important. Someone should be proofreading these before they’re mass-produced.
How does this even happen?
This pole must have been magnetic, because I just can’t see any other way she could hit it in a parking lot this wide. Look at all those vacant spots!
Who’s gonna tell her?
Like most of our parents, this person’s mom isn’t really tech savvy. She thinks her phone’s been charging this whole time. I hope this person was a good son/daughter and let her know.
“Wood” you please protect your windows before transporting these?
Whatever they were gonna use these wooden timbers for, I hope it was worth the cost of repairing a car windshield. See, just tie them down with something next time instead.
This is how you know you made a mistake.
What was he expecting to happen when he decided to bathe naked with a cat? Did he think the cat would just sit there calmly and let him scrub it? Come on, man.
I’ll give ’em points for creativity.
This might be what you’d call a “Redneck” solution to a problem. No transport truck available for this? No prob. Let’s use a van.
I mean, at least it’s secure.
Props to whoever designed this. Now I can withdraw money securely and work out my hamstrings and glutes too. No, but seriously, this is a terrible idea.
Not gonna lie, I’m impressed.
On one hand, I’d be upset that they made my package so hard to get. On the other hand,
Ironic. He could free others from wood, but not himself.
Well, he’s never getting that saw back. This is why you keep a good old handsaw with you at all times.
Safety (isn’t always) First
We all know hair nets are thing, but this guy could have used a “beard net”
The coffee or the prices? Or both?
Sliding door vans are not a great idea if you don’t want random people pointing out the kind of words you can spell. But hey, that’s the price you pay.
I assume the next lyric is “I ain’t not gonna live forever”?
I feel like getting misspelled lyrics tattooed on yourself is just as bad as having an ex’s name inked on there. Just me?
We the people, I guess.
These shoppers just kept parking the shopping carts here without realizing that it’d eventually block someone’s car. I guess humans really aren’t too different from a lot of animals when it comes to following the group.
Yeah, no thanks.
I wouldn’t really call this a “fail” because it’s not like you can ask these hedges to grow someplace else. Still, it’s funny so we’re including it!
I give them points for the teamwork.
I wanted to mention how silly this is and how easily one of those boards could go flying. But the bromance at play here is telling me “Just let them try.”
This vending machine really doesn’t like you, huh?
This guy’s sandwich got stuck on the way out of the vending machine. So he bought a drink hoping it’d push the sandwich out on the way down. And then the machine basically went “No lmao.”
Well, lesson learned.
Yeah, well, keyboard keys are plastic. What’d you think was gonna happen? Time to buy a new keyboard. Thankfully, they’re cheap.
This was bound to happen.
Hey, you guys know that woman on TikTok who had a meltdown over putting the wrong shapes in the wrong holes? What do you think she’d say about this?
Task failed successfully.
Come on, lady. Getting out to clean the snow yourself isn’t that hard. Now you’ve gotten yourself into a bigger mess.
I’m sorry, how?
So this girl got frustrated that she wasn’t getting any prizes. So she climbed in there herself to get one, but I can’t see any place she could climb in from. I’m confused but a little impressed too.
Ouch.
“My friend was curling her eyelashes while walking and tripped. This happened.” Well, lesson learned. You hear that folks? If you’re gonna curl your eyelashes, just sit still somewhere.
Yeah that cement’s not dry yet, miss.
I bet this really cemented the day as one of the worst days she’s had. It’s truly a concrete example of bad luck. I hope no one was graveling with her about it at the end of the day. Okay, I’ll stop.
I’m guessing this was an older person who didn’t know how screenshots work.
Hey, every person has to fail before they learn. I bet this person was real happy to learn how to take actual screenshots after this.
I’m surprised she could even see what was on her screen.
This person’s mom used the screen protector’s throwaway clingwrap as the screen protector. It’s adorably technologically-naive and the kind of stuff we love our parents for.
You kids and your drones.
This tiny drone has gotten stuck in his hair, and I’d imagine they had to snip some of it to remove it. Can you blame him for looking so upset?
Who needs wheels?
I’m gonna guess she doesn’t know it has wheels, or she just doesn’t care. Also, hanging it from your shoulder like that does not seem comfortable at all.
No, he’s got a point.
Yeah, I can’t blame Kenny here. Those things are pretty misleadingly named.
I hope this list gave you way more confidence with whatever it is you’re doing. If you ever feel incompetent, at least you’re not this incompetent.
