mistakes

There's something cathartic about watching bad things happen. We're not sure if this makes us bad people. Maybe it just makes us bored people. Anyway, here are some really unenviable times people had their day go awry due to some terrible or inconvenient unforeseen circumstance.

We've got piles of garbage! We've got ruined couches! We've got spurned lovers and misfortune of all stripes! There's a lot of ways to turn someone's day into crap, and these are just a small few.

You wouldn't believe how long people go without knowing how their favorite figures of speech are actually spelled. Sure, some words are definitely hard to spell, but in the age where you can just google it, things go from zero to idiot in no time.

Sometimes it's a good reminder to see how badly some other people are doing. It puts things in perspective.

When it comes to fighting through the curveballs that life can toss your way, this person encountered some serious struggles. It's a day full of TIFU over and over again. But it's all about how you push on through it though! If there's one thing many of us can bond on, in life, it's that our time is filled with fails! So, hopefully this person keeps their head up, and pushes onwards with a stubborn smile on their face, for the next day. 

There's so many signs, toys and products being designed all the time that some of them are inevitably not going to be proofread. And boy are we grateful for that. We wish more people made stupid mistakes that render their bookstore accidentally filthy. Here's to measuring once before cutting.

Yeah, being late to work or stepping in dog poop does suck, but things could be worse.

Chances are you aren't having all of this happen to you right now.

Do you keep waving people in at a stop sign even though you have the right of way? Quit it. You should be predictable, not nice. Do you cut off faster drivers trying to merge? What's that all about? Here are some things dumbasses seem to forget about while driving.

Ever stood at your front door, clicking the button on your car keys, trying to get into your house? And you just stand there, wondering, "what's wrong with this thing?" Then you probably understand what's going on here. There are probably hundreds of things we do without thinking, daily habits that no longer require any thought. But sometimes our brain wires get crossed (no, that's not the technical term for it), and we continue to look for our phone when it's in our hands (I'd be surprised if you haven't done that before). Here are 31 hilarious and relatable stories of the dumbest things Redditors have done without thinking. Don't get any ideas. 

They are doing their best to keep up with the internet. That doesn't mean there aren't tons of awkward mistakes and social faux pas, but they are doing their best.

Just goes to show that at any given moment, you're at the mercy of the universe. Especially if you've already messed up your day through your own devices.

Feel like you could be a doctor after watching a few seasons of Grey's Anatomy? Think again.

Why wouldn't you want to purchase hundreds of ladybugs? Seriously, what could possibly go wrong? Here's a bunch of things that people, for whatever reason, decided they only ever needed to buy once.

Every time we try, we expect a specific result. But what happens when we don't try hard enough? We get results like these.

You want your kids to be smart, but you don't want them to be so smart that they realize you're full of shit.

Just a whole bunch of quality signs. Some are mistakes, some where planned. Just don't expect to learn any meaningful information.
