whoops

Life brings with it many challenges and moments of unforeseen chaos. You could find a snake in your tailpipe, get an embarrassing license plate, or sit on your own TV. It's impossible to predict the mistakes and messes that will come into your life, and all we can do to avoid them is to try our best.

It should be known by now that we enjoy mocking other people's misfortune - and as schadenfreude goes, these amusing tales are pretty lighthearted. When Twitter user @lillyannatrnr shared a facepalm-worthy serving anecdote from her boyfriend's past, we're willing to bet she didn't think she was starting a thread of epic proportions. But his ignorance regarding creme fraiche and the laughs that followed inspired other users to share their own food-service and grocery work blunders. The result? A massive thread of funny fails and punny verbal comedy. We've picked out some of the better gems for you, but you can see more hilarity at the thread itself.
