This relatable Tumblr thread brings folks together to bond over those times they were out in public and accidentally muttered an automated response to a situation that definitely didn't call for it. It's amazing just how deep the prior conditioning from our old jobs can run. These funny accounts will make you feel better about your most potent brain farts.
For some more gold from Tumblr check out the insane, potential reason behind why people believe in witches.
This guy accidentally sent an email intended for a certain set of eyes, to the whole company. One can only imagine what kind of panic and embarrassment he must've experienced upon the realization that he'd sent the email to a whole lot more people than intended. Oh well. It must've been a good laugh for the rest of the people that got to see it.
Imagine...you're hanging out, enjoying a game on your phone, you drop your phone behind the couch, and next thing you know your arm is stuck and your watch is phoning the emergency hotline. What a mess. I guess technology gets confused sometimes too. This dude must've been flooded with panic upon realizing what was happening.
This guy experienced just the kind of cringeworthy fail that awakens the secondhand embarrassment. Apparently, the poor dude accidentally got in his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend's car, thinking it was his friend, and then proceeds to accidentally hit his girlfriend with the car door when he tried to peace out. Yikes.
This is no doubt one of the best TIFUs we've ever come across. We can see why it was crowned a TIFU of the Year. It's just a pure fail. Apparently a movie shoot was mistakenly crashed, and awkward laughter amongst the movie crasher and Gerard Butler was ultimately exchanged, after the fail played itself out. At least people managed to laugh after the fact.
We're not exactly in the shirt business, but some of these clothing decisions seem like they could have been prevented. For similar stuff, here are some classic translation fails that made their way onto shirts and other things. And here are some more design failures that need some help.
Being in a car accident is stressful enough. Throw on some fraudulent accident reports and you've got yourself a legal nightmare that this mom handled like a beast. For another tale of satisfying revenge, here is an entitled neighbor who chopped down a tree that ended up costing 700 K.
A valuable lesson in slowing down, rereading information, and especially rereading information when it concerns whether or not you might be pregnant. It sounds like this woman's racing mind leapt ahead to an imagined future where she was pregnant, and the misinformation flowed from there. If she'd slowed it all down, maybe double-checked what the test was saying, or taken another one, then maybe the panic could have been subdued.
This random dude wearing a blue shirt had a run-in with a manager who was eager to fire someone she didn't even recognize. This one's kind of the opposite of this chef who was hired by a law firm just to foil the security guard. Employees of huge retail chains have to put up with some strange problems at work, like this guy who got hired and through a series of mistakes, never did anything but still stayed employed for months.
Someone on AskReddit kickstarted a thread about people's most costly mistakes. Some mistakes have a knack for wiping out the wallet, depleting all the funds, and ultimately teaching folks very expensive lessons. But sometimes, there's no lesson to be learned. It was just an honest accident.
This woman found herself in quite the series of fails, after trying to have some groceries delivered. It sounds like just about everything that could've gone awry, did. She accidentally flashed the driver, wiped out after her back went out, and pissed off her cat. Hopefully she tipped the delivery driver extra for offering to help her up. Not a typical day on the job for that driver, at all.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to describe the most expensive mistakes they've ever made. Sometimes you just mess up, and the costs that result from that fail can skyrocket. We all make mistakes. Hopefully the next mistake doesn't take too much out of the wallet.
These people are describing their experiences with learning that they've been doing something wrong, years after the fact. We're talking about a series of very humbling realizations. Sometimes the funniest part is how they were able to make the "wrong way" work for them in the first place.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest plot holes they've ever seen. For many of us this thread will hit close to home. We've all had that one movie or moment out of our lives, where the various factors just didn't add up. Something was noticeably amiss. These plot holes demand more of an explanation. We need answers!
Don't get too comfortable when things are going well, because life just might hit you hard with unfortunate failures and moments of chaos. Someone could fall through your roof, your car could get hit with a rogue coconut, and a dog could eat your shoes. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to unfortunate moments and chaos.
