oops

It's pretty much every grown man's worst fear to look like an absolute creep. Like, in the top ten "things guys shouldn't shouldn't do" at least numbers 4 through 8 are some variation of "make it seem like you're friends with stranger's kids." It goes without saying why that precedent is in place, but there are good reasons for it. This guy had the less than comfortable experience of accidentally talking his way into a random girl's house. Interesting choice from the mom to just let the whole situation play out just to watch him suffer, but alright. Small errors can snowball out of control, like this guy who accidentally ate 420 dollars worth of beef.

Technology can throw us all for a trip at one point or another. Sometimes we fall prey to our own naive assumptions, and proceed to suffer through months of uncomfortableness (lousy chair with ethernet cable for this guy), and then we ultimately learn that the dang thing we thought was broken wasn't broken at all. Oh well. We live and we learn. 

We'd bet that a lot of parents out there are bound to relate to this hilariously wholesome accident. Apparently the whole family ended up getting accidentally "sleeptrained" by a strangely adorable little stuffed worm toy thing. Whatever works, I guess. 

The one thing that makes you feel dumber than making a stupid mistake is when you make that mistake for a seriously long time. In this case, this person found some "snacks" they liked, and since the packaging wasn't obvious, they bought it again and again. A lot of people realize obvious things too late, but that doesn't make it much less embarrassing. 

This guy accidentally sent an email intended for a certain set of eyes, to the whole company. One can only imagine what kind of panic and embarrassment he must've experienced upon the realization that he'd sent the email to a whole lot more people than intended. Oh well. It must've been a good laugh for the rest of the people that got to see it. 

Of all the ways that a date can experience a curveball, this has got to be one of the most absurd situations we've come across. Apparently, the dude sat through a genuine date, and assumed that it was a job interview the whole time. Yikes. But also, a date's a date. 

A valuable lesson in slowing down, rereading information, and especially rereading information when it concerns whether or not you might be pregnant. It sounds like this woman's racing mind leapt ahead to an imagined future where she was pregnant, and the misinformation flowed from there. If she'd slowed it all down, maybe double-checked what the test was saying, or taken another one, then maybe the panic could have been subdued. 

This guy had quite the fail after wolfing down a wonderful six egg omelette, and then realizing that it was intended for the whole family. Yikes. There it is. The fail occurred, and some solid stress-induced indigestion likely resulted. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to describe the most expensive mistakes they've ever made. Sometimes you just mess up, and the costs that result from that fail can skyrocket. We all make mistakes. Hopefully the next mistake doesn't take too much out of the wallet. 

These people are describing their experiences with learning that they've been doing something wrong, years after the fact. We're talking about a series of very humbling realizations. Sometimes the funniest part is how they were able to make the "wrong way" work for them in the first place. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the times they blew themselves away with their own stupidity. We've got some real Darwin candidates right here. Sometimes our brains just go on auto-pilot, and we devolve into complete idiots. 

This guy unknowingly caffeinated his way into the 5th dimension. Let this serve as a cautionary tale that you've gotta be extra careful with that Cuban espresso. It is not a joke. Sounds like he basically consumed 12 cups of coffee in the matter of 5 minutes. At that point, you better just buckle up and try to enjoy the ride. Thankfully, it would seem he stayed safe. 

This woman's intentions were nothing but romantically pure when she set out to buy some fancy underwear for her partner, and in the process discovered evidence of an incoming engagement ring, when she was trying to hide her own evidence. While it's a bit of a bummer on the surprise front, it's still sweet and full of love. A good old wholesome TIFU for a change. 

Jimmy Fallon asked Twitter users to share their biggest car fails. The resulting tweets are full of dangerous disasters. People can be reckless animals on the road.
