If you pay attention to your surroundings, you are likely to discover a series of design choices that make absolutely no sense. You know, the kind of aesthetic decisions that make you wonder who in their right mind signed off on this? You might stumble upon these design and structural flaws on the street, in a public restroom, or even in your friend's house. Sometimes, these flaws are too hard to ignore. I distinctly remember touring the so-called “perfect apartment” and informing my roommate t…

Apparently, Gen Z is saying “Everclear” is the drink of the summer… So who's gonna tell them?

They're taking 'worst haircut of your life' to the next level

Life is full of surprises, changes, and unintentionally hilarious signs. People often say if you look carefully enough, there is beauty and levity everywhere. That may be true depending on your perspective and mentality, but one could also amend that statement to say that if you look carefully enough, you will find joy in humanity. Today when we say humanity, we specifically are referring to man's capacity for human error. Nowhere is that more obvious than man-made signs. These signs could be f…

Life is full of many strange (and potentially misspelled) signs if you're looking carefully enough. It's remarkable how much work a marketing team may put into a billboard without doing a simple spell check or using some common sense with regard to the image they've chosen and how it might be interpreted. You would think that among a group of professionals, someone would have said something with some of these signs. But alas, not everyone is as smart as the readers of FAIL Blog. These funny sig…

Who doesn't leave a social situation in a panic at least once a week? If that's not you, congratulations on your relative stability. As for the rest of us, we'll be sitting over here overthinking and overanalyzing what we said or didn't say to our coworker, our date, and even the receptionist at the doctor's office when we had to pick up the phone to schedule an appointment. Many of us need to take a breather and a nap after any kind of extended social interaction like one of the above scenario…

Reading the fine print of any document is tedious. You're squinting to make out the tiny letters, the verbiage is convoluted, and you can't help but feel like you're about to sign your life away at any given clause.

Vice presidents are hard pills to swallow. They assume that the sun rises and sets at their demand. However, sometimes you find a rose in a thornbush... such as this legend of a manager who wouldn't let his team be bossed around by the VP's silly demands. I feel obligated to share this inspirational story of an IT manager who bravely resisted the awful vice president's effort to pilfer the Fourth of July. The VP is determined that her time is more important than the IT team's combined total. Bu…

I think that people only choose to become pettish when they are pushed to the brink. But if you ask me, the tale below makes a somewhat abrupt shift from magnificence to pettiness, leaving me astounded by the management team's lack of professionalism and arrogance. But instead of taking my word for it, let me give you a quick rundown of the events so you can be the judge. The story goes like this: OP says he has been looking for work for a while, therefore he is thrilled to be hired. However, a…

Common sense is not as common as you'd think.

The movies are a place for silently watching films, and these folks did the exact opposite. Luckily for them, they were 1) funny and 2) brief with their jokes . There are few moviegoing experiences worse than being stuck with a jokester. That's a person who thinks they're funny at a movie , but they are certainly not. Usually, they'll yell out a joke, and it will get a big laugh. So their ego is stoked, and they keep going, yelling out more and more jokes and witticisms as the movie rolls on. A…

Every so often, you come across something on the Internet that reminds you how shockingly wild humans can be.

The unintentional hilarity of humanity is endlessly entertaining.

They say comedy is all about timing. You never really know if that's true until you experience a poorly timed joke. For example, depending on the audience's vibe, it's always time for a joke at a comedy stand up show. However, if you're at a funeral and you're asked to say a few words—again, depending on the crowd—that's usually a bad time to crack a joke. Those are pretty obvious examples of comedic timing. A new example has come from a Reddit story . The OP truly made very very poor comedic t…

Ouch

So many of us simply do not have the toolbox to handle stress well. So what do we do instead? We come across memes on the Internet and send them to our besties with a one-word message that reads "me."
