If no one checks anyone's work, you might find yourself in an impressively unprofessional "not my job" moment. It just happens sometimes, and when no one owns up to the mistake, it complicates things even more. A lot can go wrong when you don't verify your links, like this person who followed a link blindly and regretted it.

There's never going to be a time when things are perfectly alright, but it would be nice to have a few moments of peace. Sadly, this being life and all, that's kind of impossible. Misfortune is abundant and chaos has many names. It could be something as small as a dropped plate of spaghetti or as big as a tornado whipping a house away. A lot can go wrong.

Old people are trying their best on social media, but some are still trying to get the hang of it. Whether it's messaging the Walmart Facebook page some extremely personal information or being real rude about close family members, it's always a party when grandma gets her computer driving gloves on.

We can't stop every bad thing from happening in our lives. We can do our best to mitigate errors of our own fault, but sometimes, for no good reason, there's a snake in your toilet and your tires explode. Sometimes we have to face that the world is unpredictable. And in that world, boy oh boy are there many flavors of chaos.

Humans aren't perfect, so naturally we're bound to make mistakes at work. It's when we're using expensive tools, or facing ten angry customers that a really big screw-up can have some extreme consequences. In the right field of work, one misplaced screw or faulty measurement can turn into literally millions of dollars of losses. We try not to think about those.

Human beings can do some absolutely incredible things when it comes to observation, innovation and expressing nuance. At the same time, there will always be those of us who aren't exactly running on all cylinders.  And then sometimes we're just having an off day. These are the producers of facepalm moments of mystifying dumbness.

Life has a lot of good things going for it, but it wouldn't be life if there weren't also the potential for huge and stupid mistakes. We try to do our best, but mistakes, failures, errors and blunders are bound to get in the way at some point. It could be a frisbee through the windshield or the dropping of a perfect lasagna. There are just too many flavors of chaos to know what to expect.

Thinking he was making the more affordable choice, this guy accidentally ate himself a few hundred dollar's worth of high-end beef. Without the knowledge that this is how restaurants price this stuff, we would probably have made the same mistake. For some other things to not buy, here are absurdly overpriced things people have seen.

As we barrel our way through life, we're bound to run into unfortunate moments of failure and chaos. It's usually best to try to take these things in stride, and when we can, quietly blame someone else. Sometimes our failures are a little bit our fault, like these impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments.

Sure, we'd like every sign, product and advertisement to be functional and efficient, but this is the real world, and things don't work out the way we'd like them to. Sprinklers spray right into garbage cans, shirts say the wrong thing, and people make ironic mistakes. People's laziness can result in some impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments.

People are asked to make a lot of things, but sometimes we're not up to the challenge. This leads to some prime fails of people not doing their jobs correctly. Words get left off of shirts, signs stop making sense, and people start building pathways to nowhere. We're not mad, we're actually pretty stoked about it.

If you think you're stupid, don't worry, there's someone out their saying or doing something that would make you look like a great big brain lord. People are producing classic facepalm moments of incompetence at a rate that surprises everyone around them. Humanity is just boiling over with incompetent facepalm moments.

Life has it's conventional and sometimes expected lows, like getting fired or missing the bus, but sometimes it has refreshingly unconventional mishaps. Sometimes you're having a decently fine breakfast and a bat flies into your food. Sometimes you're tire is flattened not by a screw but by a throwing star. It's a reminder that oftentimes, uneventful days aren't bad days.

We've all witnessed some majestically unprofessional "not my job" moments. Maybe someone at work was running out of time, money or patience and just went with what they had. Those moments can result in stairways to nowhere, cans of peaches that magically contain peas, and countless other mistakes resulting in people and things failing at their one job.
