We've all been woo'd by a good commercial at some point in our lives. Especially when you're a kid, Nerf really makes it look like having a sweet blaster will make you the coolest kid on the street. We've all gone crazy at some point for those ads for laser tag games and frozen drink makers, and many of us never learn and keep making stupid purchases far into our adult years. That said, this isn't always our fault, sometimes products are straight up misleading and manipulative.

This guy experienced quite the wakeup call when he realized that he'd been washing his hair incorrectly for over 10 years. What he previously assumed was an unavoidable case of white flakes peppering the barber shop's floor every time he went in for a visit, was actually a symptom of very poor hygiene. Or at least that's how it sounds. Sounds like he proceeded to make sure things were squeaky clean up top, for going forwards. Lesson learned. Better late than never!
Life is a series of attempts. Sometimes you're trying to finish a construction project or eat a mozzarella stick. Sometimes you're just trying to do the right thing, or look cool on the internet. For whatever reason, these people's attempts didn't come through for them and veered into a heap of failure.
This entitled mom refused to accept the fact that people actually expect fair compensation for their services, and on top of that, didn't understand that people can be qualified to speak more than one language. Amidst the choosing beggar meltdown, the mom threatens to tell on the tutor for her being "unfriendly." Now that is a load of BS.
There are some really not good signs out there. Whether they read as complete gibberish or and up horribly filthy, there's some folks who might need to rethink their one job. Worse than that, sometimes people design products and signs to be horribly misleading and those too are wildly frustrating.
Someone on AskReddit asked for hiring managers to share the CVs and resumes they've come across that either got the applicant an immediate foot in the door, or rejection. A little humor can definitely go a long way for getting in the good graces of a hiring manager who's bored by an endless procession of identically lifeless resumes.
If you're in the business of writing copy, designing signs, or making products, it's best to get a fresh set of eyes to look over that bad boy before calling it good. Seriously, there are too many people who mess up their one job. Apart from that stupidity, sometimes products and things are designed by jerks to manipulate you, and that's even worse.
It sucks to be unprepared for a job interview, but what sucks more is when you walk in and realize immediately that you've worn the wrong thing and they realize you're unprepared from the get-go. In some cases, this didn't stop people form getting the job. In other cases, employers could tell right away that it wasn't gonna work out.. In the same vein, here are interview responses that made employers immediately say "nope."
If you thought a regular day was hard, lets reel that back with a few images of people and stuff in weirdly bad and not normal circumstances. Some days life is just aching togive people a bad time. All we can do in those unfortunate moments is understand that they don't happen all the time.
You know, bone apple tea, when the food's amazing and it's french or something. We love nothing more than when people's well-intentioned attempts to advertise and spell something correctly comes up short. It's the effort that counts, and these are nothing short of beautiful efforts.
This guy just wanted to help out some "family friends" who very well might've been gangsters. He ended up volunteering his services for taking one of the guy's daughters along to a frat party. The complication in that plan was that she was notorious for being "boy crazy" and he didn't end up keeping a close eye on her. Fortunately, his moment of panic when his life likely flashed before his eyes, gave way to a simple joke. Phew.
