Top 20 Workers who had just one job and still made mistakes (December 31, 2023)

Every job comes with responsibilities, but that's just a suggestion. Who says you have to complete the job you're paid to do every single day? That seems like a lot of work. And since many people don't even like their job, and are underpaid, you get results like the ones below. Sometimes, employees just can't be bothered to do their job correctly. I'm sure they have their reasons. Maybe they're resentful of their boss, perhaps they're tired or distracted, or maybe it's an elaborate performance…

'Red hot chilly paper': 30+ Mistakes from people who had just one job, and still couldn't do it correctly

'Red hot chilly paper': 30+ Mistakes from people who had just one job, and still couldn't do it correctly

From tiny misprints to stairs that lead nowhere, these folks all failed at their jobs for one day. No one is perfect, since we're all human. Even if you do the same job day in and day out, sometimes you'll make a few mistakes. I'm a big fan of the “ frog cake ” mishap (see #10 for details). Perhaps the usual cake artist was out that day, and maybe an untrained employee just took a swing at it. It's humble, it's modest, it's almost abstract! It's certainly an unforgettable cake, just not in the…

'To use the disabled lift, please come upstairs': 30 People who had just one job and still goofed it up

Jobs, how do they work? These people made various levels of mistakes that they really should have caught before it went out to the public. Below are 30 people who had just one job to get right, and they couldn't even do that. The funniest versions of this to me are translators or transcribers who messed up. There are people who were writing copy, needed translation to another language, and somehow that never happened. Then you end up with TV captions of a person who says a Korean word, and the…

'I'm still wearing a fake mustache': Former employee gets offered the interview opportunity of a lifetime

'I'm still wearing a fake mustache': Former employee gets offered the interview opportunity of a lifetime by a clueless recruiter

When the opportunity is too good to pass up, don't ever let it slip through your fingers. Job interviews bring a multitude of emotions with them, but usually the main two are anxiety and excitement. Interviewing is tough no matter what stage of your career you're in. It's exciting to have the opportunity to check out the company and see if it's the right fit for you. But on the other hand, it causes most people a ton of anxiety, since you're being judged for your abilities, and have to come up…

'I Ain't Shy' : 15 Best Bluntly Dumb Signs That Tell It How It Is

'I Ain't Shy' : 15 Best Bluntly Dumb Signs That Tell It How It Is

From big bold fonts to screaming neon colors, these signs stand out in a number of ways. Some of which include ridiculous mottos, slogans, or plain ol' warnings that frankly, don't make any sense (Or do they?). I've come to wonder who double-checks these things before they're produced for the masses. I mean, there must be someone whose sole purpose is to check these things, right? Sounds like a boring job, so I wouldn't be surprised if they scribbled their signature on the checking document (or…

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

Whoever created these signs get an A+ for creativity. Some of them are dumb, some of them are clever, and some are plain offensive. Still, they leave little to the imagination. I wonder whose job it is to double-check these things or come up with the mottos. Who approved these for the masses? Maybe the job is so boring that it leaves no choice to the employee but to make their own life more interesting. A couple of these signs are oddly specific as if there is a very peculiar backstory… makes m…
