If you're the kind of person who likes sleeping and not cleaning chocolate sauce out of your couch, it's good to think really hard about the decision to have kids.

Maybe they just haven't been caught by a manager yet, or maybe your boss just doesn't want to go through the process of hiring someone else. People have to deal with some horrible coworkers, but it's definitely interesting witnessing people who do not give a heck.
It's probably happened to you. You're holding two things with incredibly different purposes. Maybe it's a phone and a banana. You're on autopilot and prone to brain farts so you're not thinking.

Sure, cats can be friendly and affectionate, but sometimes it becomes clear that you're dealing with an animal that has no concept of empathy and can't comprehend why a jug of tomato sauce should stay on a counter.

You don't need to interact with a kid for long to know that kids are weird and dumb. It makes you wonder how stupid you were as a kid. Hopefully you've learned a few things since then.

When people decide a particular task is above or below their pay grade or not their responsibility, you get some interesting moments out of the deal. You get manholes in sandboxes, completely unusable fans, and newspaper headlines like "Headline Goes Here." It's like people are built to fail at their one job and create some masterful design failures.
As life gets weirder and weirder, strange moments of misfortune are still going on. While the world has it's challenges, people are still dropping mountains of eggs, having their lives invaded by cows, and leaving their car parked in the exact spot where it can get crushed. So here are some more Monday misfortune moments.
No matter how you slice it, there will always be people and things failing at their one job. And we're glad that people's constant design fails give us a world full of shirts, signs and products featuring nonsensical ramblings and accidental filthy creepiness .

But hey, these old people on social media are doing their best.
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.
Just when things are going well, someone falls through the ceiling. You can never be too sure how things will go wrong next, but one thing's for sure and that's that the universe will never run out of ways to screw people over. Unfortunate moments punctuate our lives, and add a heaping helping of chaos and failure.
Life is unpredictable, and some unfortunate moments are bound to happen. All you can really do is take them in stride and take some solace in the fact that other people also have to deal with life's unfortunate failures and moments of chaos. There's runaway tires, lumber spills on the freeway, and deceptively baked bread. Given the option, you kinda hope for the bread one.
