This guy experienced quite the wakeup call when he realized that he'd been washing his hair incorrectly for over 10 years. What he previously assumed was an unavoidable case of white flakes peppering the barber shop's floor every time he went in for a visit, was actually a symptom of very poor hygiene. Or at least that's how it sounds. Sounds like he proceeded to make sure things were squeaky clean up top, for going forwards. Lesson learned. Better late than never! 

This guy ended up finding himself in the middle of quite the painful feels trip when him and his date watched a movie that brought back a memory of watching it with his ex! Yikes. Sounds like someone needs a bit more time to heal before he gets back out there. 

This guy just wanted to help out some "family friends" who very well might've been gangsters. He ended up volunteering his services for taking one of the guy's daughters along to a frat party. The complication in that plan was that she was notorious for being "boy crazy" and he didn't end up keeping a close eye on her. Fortunately, his moment of panic when his life likely flashed before his eyes, gave way to a simple joke. Phew. 

This guy thought he'd play an innocent little prank on his girlfriend by pretending to be his twin brother, and ended up stumbling upon a heartbreaking realization. It turns out his twin brother had been seeing his girlfriend on and off for months behind his back. What a terrible mess. His brother and ex-girlfriend are terrible people. Plain and simple. 

Anyone who's ever over indulged in some alcoholic beverages can appreciate it's ability to blind the judgement and good senses. Especially when it comes to NOT sending off a barrage of questionable texts to someone you have a crush on. When drunk it might seem like the best idea in the world, but sober up and everything feels doomed. 

This guy's story about an exciting business venture falling through the cracks and into his spam folder serves as a cautionary tale, to keep a wary eye on your inbox AND spam folder. You never know if that one email you were waiting to hear back on just got filed to the wrong folder. 

This event manager experienced a bit of a nightmare, and forgot to make sure that the wedding they were in charge of helping plan, had an officiant! So, naturally they ended up illegally marrying the couple themselves. Hopefully they didn't have stage fright. 

Sometimes the language barrier can hurt you more than others. In this case, the guy thought that "gasoleo" would get the job done for him, when he went to fill up his Petrol car. Unfortunately, that actually translated to Diesel, and he found himself in quite the bind, and in need of a mechanic. Fortunately he was able to resolve the issue, and move forward. But you gotta love the fail! 

This dad was trying to show his son an anti-drug campaign video from the 90s, and it backfired terribly. Specifically, his younger daughter overheard the campaign, and ended up thinking that "eggs" were a suitable synonym for "drugs." So, she heads into school and the next thing you know she's telling the teacher that she had drugs for breakfast! 

This guy was getting exasperated with the customer service at a restaurant, and after having enough of what he took as a "surfer attitude" from his waiter, he decided to return what he thought was a hang loose sign. This is where the fail presents itself in all of its terrible glory. Turns out the waiter in fact didn't have any fingers, and was absolutely not flashing a "hang loose sign." How about that for a big old-fashioned whoops. 

This son's TIFU is one for the books. He managed to convince his dad to give AirBnB a shot, instead of just taking the normal hotel route, while on their journey to check out purchasing a new truck. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario pretty much presented itself when they showed up the neighboring house was in the middle of a massive narcotics bust. Yikes. 

This vacationing couple's expedition up what he's called the world's steepest street, is brimming with hysterical hyperventilating and fitful punches of wife fury. Considering the context he provided; it sounds like the journey was destined for this kind of climactic fallout. Dude, she doesn't like heights. You proceed to ascend a terribly steep hill? This is what happens. This TIFU story is entirely the husband's fault, and he knows it. 

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. 

This guy's fiancée was trying to leave him some sweet notes, but he kind of missed the message, and quite literally threw them away. At least the love was still alive, and the notes were being written! Sounds like a hilarious and unintentional fail. 

This guy unknowingly left his girlfriend at a random gas station out in a desert in Arizona. From the moment of his panicked realization to when he went and rescued her, he drove faster than he ever had in his whole life. Apparently he assumed that his relationship was up in flames due to his forgetfulness. 

This girl mistakenly traumatized her now ex-boyfriend by enclosing him in a space with tons of butterflies. The real kicker here is that the poor guy was already deathly afraid of moths. Sounds like things just weren't working out for these two. Can't imagine the look on his face when this happened.
