Go Ahead and Laugh at These Hilarious Life Fails

We’re all known for making a bad decision or two in our lives. In the age of social media, however, these bad choices often get documented for the world to see. We’ve compiled the best of the best when it comes to people really messing up big time. Browse through and feel a sense of relief knowing, well, you’re not alone…

Sinking Quick

Driving anything on the beach is questionable, you don't want to end up like these people.

Welp, hate to say it, but it seems like this is a lost cause. It’s an SUV, not a boat, friends.

Heads Up!

One sure way to make your significant other angry is to open up the sunroof in a snow storm.

That would be the sunroof button, or in this case, the snow roof.

Next Gordon

Well this is how you get yourself called an idiot sandwich.

Let’s be real… who hasn’t done this at one point or another? It’s the worst when you’re starving and waiting for a half hour for something to boil only to realize that you never turned on the right burner…

Frustration Free

The rage of opening up this kind of packaging can not be put into words.

Everyone hates that impossible plastic packaging. This situation takes the cake, though.

Not The Brightest

To be fair, it does sound a lot like that. But now he knows and so do you.

Well, John, let this be a lesson in reading instructions a bit more carefully next time.

Read Instructions

Some humans are just oblivious to very simple things. Just read the instructions.

Customer service jobs are fun, aren’t they? It's unbelievable how dumb people can be.

All Crust Pizza

They took this back because the pizza had no toppings... or cheese... or sauce.

…That’s not what these are. This is why directions are printed on things, people.

I'M DOING IT!

This lady must be from New Jersey because she definitely doesn't know how to pump her own gas.

This really isn’t something you want to mess up, though. If you don’t know what you’re doing at the pump, just ask for some help… for everyone’s sake.

Is This Real Life?

Ever have a bad day? The answer to that is probably yes, but have you ever had a piano fall and crush your car?

This looks like something straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. It’s raining pianos out there, folks… look out!

Grip Strength 100

Yeah so snakes aren't for everyone and if you can't handle them I wouldn't get one, silly.

Snake ownership is not for the faint of heart or weak of arm.

Mailman’s Got Jokes

You've got mail. Good luck getting it out, sucker! This person is having a bad day.

The real question is… how bad do you really want that package?

Steal Me!

Some people just aren't the smartest, what were they thinking locking this up.

Whoever owns this bike, well, they don’t own it anymore. Better luck next time.

Fake It 'Til You Make It

To be fair they thought they were getting a job waiting tables.

When making bread, lesson number 1: dough rises. Clearly, this employee didn’t have the experience they claimed they did.

Missed a Spot

Yo brother can you get my back for me? Thanks, appreciate it!

Stick sunblock… use with caution. You really need friends in life for situations like this, sunburn is no joke!

Road Block

Driving your car through wet pavement is never a good idea. This idiot messed around and found out.

This here’s a lesson in reading road signs and not being a prick.

Nobody’s Perfect

Maybe they didn't get their coffee yet? Have to wonder how this actually played out.

We’ll give this Trooper the benefit of the doubt and say he was just in a rush to chase a perp… into the McDonald’s drive-thru.

Incorrect, Ma’am

Don't get me wrong, going to the grocery story can get anyone frazzled, but come on lady.

You’re doing it wrong. Classic mix-up… right? I've never actually thought about doing this, maybe she's on to something.

Ignorant Parker

Nice park job buddy. Some people really do think the world revolves around them don't they?

This vehicle is literally the polar opposite of a “Small car.” Reading is hard, huh?

Hold Your Wood

Okay not like that! But seriously what was this person thinking? Just dumb.

Look, accidents happen, but let’s try to prevent ones like this, okay?

Technology Genius

Some people just can't wrap their head around technology, it's actually scary.

This is never a good combination. Headphones, chargers… same thing, right?

Dumb Pilot

Yeah so these kids definitely got grounded after flying mini helis into their Dad's hair.

Mini helicopters don’t exactly mix well with human hair. Take this annoyed Dad as exhibit A.

Playing with Fire

Stupid is, as stupid does. Or something like that. This kid went on to be a fire fighter.

Apparently, no one taught this kid that playing with fire was actually extremely dangerous.

Criminal Masterminds

Just two guys trying to take over the world one light pole at a time.

It’s tough to figure out how these guys thought they were going to get away with stealing a light pole… but, they sure did try.

A Loud Nod

Not everyone was meant to be a genius, but you can at least try your best.

Court reporters have a tough job and it’s even more difficult when people can’t follow directions.

Huge Wine Drinker

Wine bottles come with twist off tops? Who knew! Well definitely not this person.

A wine opener is a household necessity, except when the bottle is twist off.

Transport A Car

Something tells me that this isn't exactly legal. Or safe, or anything really.

If it fits, it ships. Dumb people are everywhere around us and you never know what the van driving next to you has in it.

Cable Management

Okay who was supposed to look out for the cable. Solid deck though.

The deck looks great and all but apparently the saw is also staying…

Raining Christmas Trees

When in doubt with what to do with your Christmas tree, just chuck it out of the window. Duh.

Yeah, living in a high rise makes errands all the more difficult, but sometimes, the extra steps are necessary.

Lonely Island

Hunny! Look how great the floor looks now! I told you I could do it!

It’s gonna be a while until she can walk on that wet floor. Hope she’s got something to entertain herself.

Sick Beard!

Well I guess that's one way to trim up your beard! Just another example of a bad day!

Hair nets are important and, in this case, so are beard nets… Which are really a thing!

Not For Bathroom Use

You start scrubbing in the wrong place with these wipes and you are going to have a bad time.

This is one of those times that reading the wrapper is absolutely VITAL.

Melt Down

Another Gordan Ramsay on our hands here. Please stop being idiot sandwiches.

It’s not icing… it’s melted plastic, and it’s also now one messy situation.

You Gotta Pump It Up

How dumb can one person be you might ask, well feast your eyes on this guy.

Not only is this incredibly stupid and messy, but also extremely dangerous. One driver tosses a cigarette and BOOM, this guy is done.

Screen Protector

This lady is trying to protect her phone, but well at least she is trying.

She thought the screen protector was the plastic film that protected the screen protector in its packaging. Here’s a hint: if you can’t even seen your screen, you’re doing it wrong.

Micro-Problem

Why are we putting our shirts in the microwave? What the heck is going on.

Waiting for your shirt to dry can be annoying, but zapping it in the microwave is not the way to go at it. Luckily this wasn’t a very nice shirt!

Copy Protected

No one is going to know. Seriously no one is ever going to know!

Proof that this guy’s plan didn’t exactly work out. Next time, just print the screen bud.

Swingers

These doors aren't swinging the right way if you ask me.

Contractor says there’s nothing wrong with these closet doors… what do you think?

Make It Black

She wanted the car to be black, so the car was black. The end.

Either she thinks this looks good or she’s trying to disguise herself after committing a crime… either way, not the best effort.

You Text, You Lose

This lady was texting walking into the store and walked her self right into wet cement.

Hope she didn’t like those shoes she had on… I wonder how long she ended up staying there.

Bald Lashes

The ladies love adding length to their lashes, so this is a nightmare situation.

Focus on the task at hand when curling your lashes or suffer the consequences.

Oh, The Irony

Once again, not the brightest human alive, but hey at least they are observant.

But, then, how did you take this picture, pal? Nice observation though buddy.

Free Toys

Go play in the arcade I'll be back in 20 minutes. And this is the result.

This little girl just said “no thanks” to the claw game and decided to climb right in and take her pick of prizes.

On A Heater

Monday mornings, am I right? I mean who hasn't this happened to?

That hair is going to look amazing, eventually. You’re doing amazing, sweetie.

Dumb, Just Dumb

Why not just take a minute and clean off your windshield? How dumb can one person be!

We’re all just wondering how this happened. The entire car is cleaned off BUT the windshield. Why, people, why?

Safety First

Another brilliant human filling up buckets and trashcans full of gas.

Something tells us this isn’t exactly receiving the safety seal of approval.

Look, Guys!

When the picture is at the cost of all your food. She'll probably complain to the waiter.

She’s about to be seriously disappointed with her meal. What a lack of intelligence on this one.

Sudden Storm

I'll go out and put the roof up in a minute babe, I'm watching the game.

Apparently, this sudden snowstorm was quite unexpected. But, he was warned so, who is at fault here?

Locked In

The delivery drivers have an outrageous amount of work, but come on guy, lets get it together.

Not quite sure what the delivery person thought would happen here. Maybe he or she thought the folks weren’t home, but you know what happens when you assume…

Thin Ice

This guy thought he was Gordon Bombay driving onto the lake in a limo.

This is just not a good sign. We’re just going to hope that everyone got out of there safely.

Strapped Down

This baby isn't going anywhere! And it would appear either are we!

A few things could happen here and none of them are good.

Instant Karma

Another day, another dummy. This guy got exactly what he deserved in this situation.

Oh, cones with a closed off lane? Well, that lane must be for me! WRONG.

Creative Parking

Nah, this ice is safe it isn't going anywhere. I've been doing this for 50 years!

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but then the sun came out.

Innovative Air Fill

Okay, this might be the best one yet. Innovative in every sense of the word, this one.

So… who’s going to tell her that is not what it's used for. Tires getting low.

You Bone What?

We all love dogs, well most of us do, but this is taking love to the next level.

You bone what buddy? That's gross! There should be a disclaimer saying “don’t take this literally.” 

Detergent Overload

I can do my own laundry I swear just watch me. Independent and efficient, I'll wash the whole house too.

Just going to go ahead and hope this was done on purpose.

Ikea Fail

This person was terrible at that game where you put the block in the square holes.

Did they really think this was going to fit in that car? Just so dumb.

The Physics of It All

Just a couple of brilliant fellas with a plan. I wonder who is going to stop it?

When this bounces… everyone, look out! It might go for miles and miles.

Never Losing Them

Never opening them either. Some people are just too smart for their own good.

Well, they’ll never lose them, but they’ll also never unlock this either.

Wrong Order

Huge fans of the show and books put this map up on the wall. Huge.

When your mom doesn’t know Game of Thrones, but tries her best to help out.

Looks Delish…

Hopefully the patients in the hospital had a sense of humor.

But they were passed out at to patients at a hospital. No, thank you.

Genius Strikes Again

Another one who failed the square in the square hole game when they were kids.

Think this guy has ever heard of U-Haul? No, no me neither.

Rice Cooker Fail

What are you? That's right, an idiot sandwich. What was this person thinking.

Someone’s poor mother didn’t realize that the rice cooker itself is what cooks the rice, no outside heat necessary.

One Last Ride

Okay so for this persons last ride, they didn't want to wear a seat belt?

Nothing like a dead body popping out on the freeway, right?

Too Literal

When your friend is so dumb you have to question why you are friends with them.

Well, we understand the thought process, Kenny, but, yeah, that’s not quite how it works.

Do You See It?

Just hidden in plain sight, and to any intelligent person they would of known.

Ladies, ladies… it’s right on the darn army knife. Some people will never learn.

Two Feet Closer

She just wanted to get a little bit taller and closer to the sky.

Not quite sure what that step stool is doing, but whatever floats your boat.

Contractor Woes

It's hard to figure out which way the door knob goes isn't it? No? Okay.

It’s a wonder how some of these contractors even get hired.

Soda and Mentos

Well good luck to this person, they are about to have a wild flight adventure.

Anyone else know what this combination does? Okay. Enough said.

Cap Wasn't Off

Okay so this girl forgot the cap on her pen wasn't on. Yikes.

And unfortunately, it wasn’t. She’s going to have to rock this look for the rest of the day. Own it, girl.

Painted Yourself into A Hole

This brilliant guy started painting and forgot he needed a way out.

Welp, just try to relax a bit, you’ve got a while to wait this one out.

Following a Trend

Actually not the dumbest thing we've seen today. Not bad guy, not bad.

Someone duct taped a crack on their garbage can, and their neighbor thought they were labeling it with their apartment numbers. Not a bad idea, honestly.

Came Out of No Where!

Crashing in an empty parking lot is next level dumb.

We all saw it jump out at her… right? No? Okay well she's learning!

Bank of Peppa Pig

Who are we to question the bank of Peppa Pig? Who would ever?

She must have been a big fan… or a mom. Either way this is cute.

Just Squeezin’ Through

This genius didn't pay attention to the tunnel measurements. Not everyone is smart.

Was this the UHaul that was helping the Ikea woman and couch guy? I wonder which of them is driving?

Clean Keys

Key caps can be cleaned, but avoid hot boiling water that can melt plastic.

Cleaning your keyboard is important, but uh… avoid using boiling water.

Whoops.

Yeah babe, this will hold the tv up no problem, I know what I'm doing.

Lesson 1: TVs are heavy. Lesson 2: make sure it’s secured…

Cat Scratch Fever

Cats don't like water, this is known, so taking a bath with your cat should never be done.

Everyone knows cats and water don’t mix, so why on earth did this guy attempt this naked? C’mon guy.
