Boy does it not feel good to be totally had by manipulative and terrible products, but sometimes it just happens. You wouldn't think while downloading an app that someone would be so brazen that they'd charge you to do something like delete the app, but hey, we live in a world with EA micro-transactions, so you've gotta be wary about what you spend your money on. Here's the land of extra fine print and hallowed-out candy bars.

Ads and packaging make stuff look like it's gonna be fantastic. I mean, sure it's the job of a commercial to make a burger look like the be-all-end-all of burgerdom. But when what you get is so different from what was advertised, you can't help but feel like you've been had. Here are some times when reality got the best of people's expectations.
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.
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."
When PM me your Jeep's ex-fiancé and ex-best man started dating he made sure to return his ex-BFF's Wii to him... no hard feelings.
Warning: harsh, unsafe language ahead
A casual package thief in Spokane, WA thought he was going to have an easy day of grabbing packages off of porches, but apparently he came to the wrong neighborhood. One shoeless, shirtless neighbor named Hector 'BigHec' Martinet saw what the thief was up to and came running, camera in hand. Martinet describes it as though he was watching someone go Christmas shopping: "When he passed the house, I noticed he was looking from side to side like you would if you were window shopping at a mall. He was actually checking porch to porch."
So what did Martinet do? Called the cops and filmed the thief. Still shoeless and shirtless in several inches of snow, Martinet made the thief return the package to the porch he took it from and sit down to wait for the cops, because that guy "ain't big enough" to take BigHec.
All in all, it took the cops around 30 minutes to show up, but the thief was taken into custody.
Martinet is happy to hear how well his vigilante justice has been received online as his video gains traction on Facebook, but his heart is heavy with the weight of medical issues his son is facing:
So many BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE that are so happy to see the BAD GUY getting busted, I am saying that ANYONE I KNOW would have done the SAME THING. If you have GRATITUDE, then you can "THANK ME" by donating Prayers or Funds to My Sons RECOVERY from LUPUS PNEUMONIA, it knoced him out a WEEK before CHRISTMAS and has hurt His Family Tremendously. THANKS to ALL of YOU for ALL the GREAT compliments, I just do not feel that BIG a HERO when I cannot save a Family. Hopefully the Hospital will let HIM come HOME today.
Here's the link to the GoFundMe page for his son.
