struggle

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various bits of common sense that people seemed to learn later on in life. Some of us fall through the cracks, and are unknowingly trying to navigate a confusing life that could make just a bit more sense if we'd learned some of that "common sense" earlier. 

Math is difficult. Sometimes math is more difficult than we ever imagined. This thread of different Tumblr users trying and failing in hilarious fashion to do some (simple) math just escapes comprehension. 

Very curious as to what the difference in taste is between the chicken and the real chicken. These menu fails really go to show that a mere letter can make a world of a difference. 

Life just loves to be difficult. If things are running smoothly it's only a matter of time before a new obstacle, an unwanted curveball presents itself. If you're currently navigating a frustrating life situation, these particularly sucky moments might help ease your pain by observing other people's unfortunate fails. 

Some days are harder than others. We're all trying to muddle through this chaotic existence without falling prey to instances of bad luck; but sometimes, the luck runs out. These unfortunate fails might make you feel better about your roughest days. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the things that people are hilariously bad at. You might connect with some of these on a painful level. Some folks just aren't built to carry the small talk, or crack the funny joke, or dance. 

These cooking fails might make you feel better about your worst attempts at preparing some food at home. Carrots absolutely do not belong in the washing machine. Come one. 

Sometimes, folks just can't be bothered to see that one job through as it was intended to be done. Maybe they're in a rush, or they just don't care. Check out more attempts that slipped down the slope of failure over here.

Man, bad parking has a way of bringing one's blood to a boil. It's the perfect combination of entitlement and carelessness. People just pull in and take up two, three, maybe more spots, cause they couldn't be bothered to consider the likelihood that other human beings would indeed like to use those parking spots. One parking spot per car, it's not that hard. 

Enjoy this fresh batch of people that tried to do one thing, and met failure in the end. As May chugs along, it's fun to remind ourselves that nobody is safe from failing at a moment's notice, and we can find comfort in forgetting about our own fails, by enjoying other people's. 

This guy's experience trying to have some empty boxes delivered ended up being a process of navigating multiple fails. Apparently, something was happening with the ordering/delivery process, where he ultimately ended up getting a ton of granola and Harry Potter coasters that he'd never asked for. Maybe not all robots are meant to rule the world. 

This woman found herself in quite the series of fails, after trying to have some groceries delivered. It sounds like just about everything that could've gone awry, did. She accidentally flashed the driver, wiped out after her back went out, and pissed off her cat. Hopefully she tipped the delivery driver extra for offering to help her up. Not a typical day on the job for that driver, at all. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their experiences with breaking out movie quotes that nobody else recognized. It can be a funny experience, when you try out that movie quote you just love, and the rest of the room is silent and genuinely confused as to what you're talking about. 

People on Twitter are sharing when they knew the cabin fever was a real thing. Sometimes, you get so caught up in enjoying your own company that you forget you haven't left your home, for a very long time. These folks absolutely experienced the cabin fever life.
