If you had any doubts as to whether you were good at your job or not, then have no fear. These failures are examples of someone else's amazing mistakes. So be glad you aren't the dude who put some stairs in upside down or made your storefront inexplicably filthy. People do this a lot.

Nobody's perfect. If you haven't done it already, it's pretty likely you're gonna try to open your front door with your car keys or tell your boss you love them. You're not alone. Everyone has those moments where your brain goes on autopilot. Even Tumblr had a discussion about it.
In the pursuit of physical fitness, it's best to know your limits. If you don't lift safely, you could seriously injure yourself or do what this guy did. The embarrassment haunts him to this day. He shouldn't feel that bad, cause this is not the weirdest thing that has happened in a gym.
It's hard enough getting through a normal day! The universe took it upon it's crappy self to lump even more problems onto these unlucky people.

When you think about it, the password worked perfectly. He was able to remember it in an instant. Having to say it out loud in order to get your credit card unblocked is a different story. It's not too bad considering people do embarrassing things all the time.
The world is a big, complicated place. Threats are everywhere, and some are more obvious than others. Who knew some cute seals could be so dangerous? But for the love of god don't ever screw around with an overflowing pot of chili in a newly cleaned car.
If you haven't guessed by now, we are huge fans whenever anyone screws up or makes something stupid. So here are some example of how well other people are doing. If you feel like you aren't productive or useful, at least you aren't the person whose van mistakenly says "Ass Doctor."

Life is a series of successes and failures. Sometimes our failures are obvious, and they hurt. Other times they need to be pointed out to us. Those failures are the ones that make us feel the dumbest. If you want to see more people who tried hard and failed harder, then here ya go.
Misfortune follows us throughout our lives. Sometimes you're trying to insult a celebrity. Sometimes you're trying to skip in front of traffic like a douche.

You wake up with this pressing feeling that you've just come up with the most genius thought. Maybe it's an idea for a screenplay or a song, and the only way to get it out of your head is to get it on paper. Then the next morning you find your masterpiece. And it just says "gorilla napkins." Weird thoughts just make perfect sense when you're asleep.Twitter knows.
We're always afraid that people are talking about us behind our backs. It's not fun to find out someone doesn't like your personality or thinks you're weird.

By the way, the world has no shortage of crazy stories about their bosses.
