funny fails

Fails successfully keep us entertained. Most of the time. It depends on the severity of the fail. There are lines that can be crossed. In this case, these seem pretty absurd, and hopefully nobody suffered any great inconvenience as a result of the fail occurring.  

Man, nothing is worse than realizing you've ended up sharing a roof with a completely terrible roommate. In this case, we've got a horribly smug roommate who simply refused to pay their rent. Well, they clearly didn't anticipate the fallout that'd eventually ensue back in court. Hopefully they learned their lesson, and won't go and try to pull this ridiculous stunt again. 

Check out some more juicy roommate drama with this guy who outwitted his roommate by using the Pavlovian method.

Um, the fact that this guy's wife told his coworker to basically back off, and said coworker continued to bring meals after that, makes this a very unsettling situation, indeed. Not even unsettling as much as it's just plain old inappropriate. If anything, it seems like something far more extramarital could be afoot in this unfortunate "love triangle."

A whole lot of us have looked at some fixture in our home and thought "man, it wouldn't be too difficult to gussie that thing up a bit. I could borrow Doug's saw and crack that baby open. Maybe throw some extra pipes in there. Yeah, I could have a super toilet." Most of us who have that thought realize very soon after that it's not as easy we might think it is. The rest of us go for it and end up with some low budget DIY engineering solutions.

We're all prone to moments of failure that came out of nothing but the purest of intentions. It'd sure be nice if our lofty expectations always lined up with reality, but alas, we're not so lucky. The universe just loves to humble us right when our egos are getting nice and inflated. 

Everyone's so into this whole self care thing now, it makes you think that maybe they're onto something. Maybe it is time to spend some money on underwear that has functioning elastic. Maybe it's okay to buy a nice office chair that doesn't make your back look like a candy cane. Judging by how it went for these people, it's not. On the other side of it, here are some very reckless uses of money people don't regret at all.

When you have a photoshop request, photoshop king James Fridman is the guy you go to to have your wishes cleverly misinterpreted. He's like the photoshop version of a genie from an old joke. Whether people want to look completely different or just add a touch up here and there, James Fridman is the guy to photoshop it into stupid oblivion.

There are a lot of reasons for failure at someone's one job. Sometimes it's negligence or laziness. Sometimes someone is in the process of learning something new. Sometimes an otherwise competent person has to do the same job with no resources and in a quarter of the time. Sometimes it's the profound ability to ignore common sense. That one is our favorite. It's the main force behind design fails that didn't go as planned.

This guy gets a lot of belligerent customers, whether they're a private school upset about getting upgrades after a charity or a treasurer who doesn't understand numbers. In this case it's a client who seems to want him to outsource the work, but also not outsource it at the same time. Sounds like a fun person to do business with.

Anyone who's had to work with their hands has likely witnessed, or even low-key partaken in some safety fails that would make OSHA faint. These highly questionable and unsafely done jobs probably shouldn't be considered a point of pride, but people keep doing them, usually out of convenience. Here's a story of an incompetent manager who fired their only OSHA certified forklift operator and had it backfire.

It's as if some people are truly born into this world with no shame. Take the guy who continually pestered the waitress about having an under-poured beer, was proven wrong, and then still had the shameless audacity to demand a refund from there. It takes a certain kind of nasty person to go out of their way to make someone working customer service detest their job more than they already (likely) do. 

Gotta love it when the customer gets rightfully fired. This particular hotel guest refused to be reasonable at all when it came to their checkout time. Even after the pregnant, exhausted concierge met them in the middle, they still proceeded to repeatedly complain and harass them. So, the concierge decided it was time for them to leave. Seems like the very fair and right move to make. 

This certainly brings to mind the old saying about how people don't necessarily leave bad jobs, but instead they leave bad managers. One bad manager can completely upend an otherwise enjoyable gig. Just picturing the look on this manager's face by the end of these employees' time with the company is enough to get the laughs rolling. Dude must've been beside himself. 

Nothing quite warms the heart like a successfully executed pro revenge, but this particular example ended up being a saga of its own. A true delicious snack. You love to see some goodhearted people ultimately do right by grandpa. That's the good stuff, right there.
