mistakes

Any day where nothing particularly unusual happens should be regarded as a pretty good day when you realize all the misfortune that can put a cramp in people's style. Like, maybe your bus was late, but at least it didn't get sucked into a giant sinkhole. The universe can get creative when it uses unfortunate moments to throw folks for a loop.

People shared their stupid mental mistakes and switch-ups, commonly known as brain farts. It's not really your fault, most people have so much to focus on on a daily basis that sometimes we don't put enough effort into our own speech. But still, switching up a few letters can mean the difference between saying you've just been hit in the shins and you've just shit in the bins.

If you're into stupidly redundant construction decisions,  shirts that accidentally say "anus," or signs for businesses that also accidentally say "anus" than you've come to the right place. Let's be real, some design can use some extra thought, and some of it, like these magazine layout fails, are freakin awesome.

Don't let the world fool you, almost everyone is doing a bad job all the time. Whether you edit news and magazine layouts or have ever designed stuff that needed extra thought, there are a monstrous amount of failures performed by everyone every day. Sure, it might not be your fault. Sometimes life just hits you with some misfortune. Anyway, here are some from folks who had one goddamn job.

We're all out here trying our best, and sometimes that's not good enough. Sometimes there's a lion on your roof. Sometimes you get trapped in a foreign country because your kid thought your passport was a coloring book. Sometimes a pinecone drops right through your windshield. None of these mishaps are your fault, but they are unfortunate moments and go to show that life is unpredictable.

There's probably something in your life that you regret doing. Not even something big. You might regret some small detail or behavior that you don't even do anymore. That's exactly the kind of thing a lot of us tend to remember when we're laying in bed in the dark, trying to sleep. It might have been an awkward date, or something that happened in 8th grade. Out of the darkness you just remember "Oh crap remember that time I farted in gym and that girl started to throw up?"

You're gonna be on this planet for a while, so rest assured your gonna see some shit. Luckily for us, the hammer of fate swings randomly, so we don't get hit with major disappointments on the daily. Maybe you have a bad week, but it's still statistically unlikely this level of disappointment will hit you hard.

Let's cut to the chase, kids are dumbas hell. We see it in them, and we even see it in ourselves when we were younger. We all have a memory of some time we accidentally followed a stranger around the store thinking it was a parent, or used to think poop was stored in butt cheeks, etc. Anyway, children do stupid things, and it feels good to know you're an adult who has made somewhat of an improvement since your own childhood.

Dudes can be a lot of things. Insensitive? Sometimes. Pragmatic to a fault? Often. Funny? Frequently. Some of this is just stuff that frustrates people in relationships everywhere. Some of it is just something that frustrates someone in one very specific relationship. Some are legit surprising.

So much news is printed on any given day that there's bound to be some colossal screw-ups. We only wish online newspapers couldn't edit their own typos in real time so their fails would be easier to document. Those mistake-correcting bastards. Anyway here are some more wacky headlines that got way out of hand.

You know what they meant to say, but the road that it takes to get there is long and full of failure. These types of mistakes aren't rare but boy does it make us feel smart to see someone make a small mistake that makes a world of difference on the back end.

The world is a big amazing place filled with all types of people. Some of these people lack self awareness to a profound degree. Like it's actually amazing how bad some people are at thinking.And we love to hear about them. Here's some more dumb stuff people have said.

Is it that hard to install a tv without it falling over and crashing onto the floor? Is it hard to find parking without getting your car encased in cement? Is it hard to make a cake without ruining your kitchen? No, not really. But sometimes you just get unlucky. For more moments of disappointment, check out these times people's days got derailed by misfortune.

These instances might remind you that you're actually doing pretty well for yourself in the whole brain department. Hot damn, it's like life is a race to see who can do the dumbest thing ever. We absolutely love it. And boy people are dumb a lot.

Back when we were stupid-ass kids we thought we could pull one over on our parents, but dear god could we not. And that mortifying moment when they figure out you've screwed up hard core... it's like your soul is leaving your body. They shouldn't expect much from us, here are times parents realized their kids were utter morons.

Maybe we can all take something away from these regretful people sharing what haunts them at night, or all the time.
