For most people, accomplishing something isn’t difficult. Take their jobs for example. Whether things they do around the house or while at work, they tackle their responsibilities with ease.
Then, there’s another group of people that aren’t capable of that. Even when given just one job, they somehow mess it up. These 50 instances are proof of that.
1. Those darn Germans
Due to the pandemic, a lot of publications have addressed safety precautions. In this case, all the editor had to do was, well, edit. But as you can see, a single cough can spread Germans a long distance.
2. We’ll make it fit
Here’s the scenario … a customer orders a new door … the warehouse ships such door to the customer. What, they couldn’t take an extra minute to find the correct size box? There’s no way they didn’t notice.
3. So demanding
This guy didn’t ask his girlfriend to marry him, he demanded it. Hello, you read from the top down. Yes, she’s smiling but she’s probably cringing on the inside at his miserable attempt of proposing.
4. Can you guess?
Is it flatbread, cheese, or weird-looking pizza? Nope … believe it or not, these are supposed to be croissants. A woman asked her boyfriend to make them for their dinner but not only do they look horrible but it looks like he was concerned about how they tasted.
5. Something’s missing
To congratulate the winning Super Bowl team, a company sent out a flyer. Just one problem. Even with the instructions written in plain sight, the designer forgot to enter the team’s name.
6. Cat’s got his tongue
Serving as the spokesperson for the President of the United States is an important job. This person’s role is to make announcements or statements on behalf of the President. Perhaps the White House Administration needs to look for someone new.
7. Too literal
When ordering a special design on a cake, a lot of people provide the decorator with a USB drive so they can see the exact image wanted. That’s what this customer did. One job…open the USB and copy the design, but no, that required too much effort.
8. They’ll never succeed
Why such a pessimistic message like that on a yoga mat? No matter how hard the instructor tries, this person will never believe in themselves. Oh wait…it’s not a pessimistic message, just a poorly executed design.
9. Two thumbs down
Literally, whoever snapped this photo has their two thumbs directly over the camera lens. This was supposed to be a celebratory picture. The guy whose body is cut off had just spent seven days climbing Kilimanjaro and raising thousands of dollars for charity when he asked his guide to take a photo.
10. Who’s watching who?
Is the white camera spying on the black camera? Or is the black camera keeping an eye on the white one? Someone clearly wasn’t thinking.
11. What’s OSHA?
Seriously? It’s hard to believe that anyone with live brain cells would think this was okay. After getting a ton of calls from drivers with damaged vehicles, you can bet this guy won’t need to worry about doing his one job correctly.
12. Same difference
Prostitution versus failure to stop at a railroad crossing. Yeah, they’re very similar. Let’s hope this paper has good liability insurance.
13. Permanent landmark
It looks as though someone didn’t realize that construction cones are temporary. All they had to do was pick it up before pouring the concrete. Now, it’s become a permanent landmark along some highway.
14. So close … not
One job, install a door stopper at a school. Well, it was installed. Unfortunately, it was installed in the wrong place.
15. A common symptom
All this person needed to do was end the sentence with “eat” and start another sentence with “diarrhea.” Whatever illness this is, it’s serious. After all, the entire world’s population shares this symptom.
16. What a rip-off
A lot of people love sweet cereal. Especially when it’s coated with chocolate. Okay, we’ll blame this one on machinery although someone in quality control didn’t do their job.
17. Clarification, please?
We think we get what this sign means. But whoever created it missed the mark. Instead of a friendly warning, it’s downright disgusting.
18. It’s safe, they said
How cute, Kids can see how tall they are with a giraffe wall measurer. But wouldn’t it have been safer to put it on the other side instead of the open space that drops several stories below?
19. You know it’s bad …
… when the French Air Force messes up. They were trying to replicate the colors of France’s flag. It’s too bad they got overzealous and added an extra red stripe.
20. Spelling isn’t their forte
When it comes to complex words, you expect mistakes to happen. But misspelling the word “down?” Time to move this person to a different position.
21. Awe…what a cute fox
A lot of teachers use flashcards as a way to teach children about animals. This one picked up a pack for her classroom. Just one question … since when does a fox look identical to a raccoon?
22. All done, boss
The owner of a company asked one of his employees to put up a new sign outside. And they did. It’s perfect as long as people don’t mind standing on their heads to read it.
23. That’s interesting
Feeling how heavy the bag of French fries was, this shopper thought they were getting a real bargain. They were wrong. Instead, they got this.
24. So simple
Yet someone couldn’t even spell the word “thank.” Fortunately, they got the “fragile” part right. Otherwise, this could’ve been disastrous.
25. What a bargain
How cool is this? The lettuce never expires, as long as you use it by Monday. That’s good to know.
26. He’s a hoe
While a lot of people like President Biden, it seems as though some aren’t too fond of him. Either that or someone messed up big time. Watch out, the Secret Service is watching.
27. That explains it
The managers couldn’t figure out why there weren’t any shoppers. Perhaps they need to look at the sign that’s posted at the front of the store. Whose pocket is the lost revenue coming out of?
28. Not even close
All the construction workers had to do was complete the top half of the building to match the bottom half. Now, we’re not judging anyone. But you have to wonder what kind of beverages they were enjoying on the job.
29. So, which is it?
Two people deserve the blame here. First, the one that came up with this confusing design. Second, the individual who executed it.
30. All-inclusive shopping
Wow, you really can find everything at Walmart. Even “The Rock.” Or in this case, an image of Ven Diesel doing his best The Rock impersonation.
31. It’s a …
… spork or fife. Working on the assembly line, people simply had to make sure that utensils were all the same. This must’ve happened while someone stepped away for a break.
32. That’s not nice
Here’s some advice for everyone. If you’re going to post signs, remember that people read from the left to the right. Whoever did this should have to pay for all the counseling that individuals who read this will need.
33. Who knew?
For one thing, most people didn’t know that Australian bananas existed? For another, they didn’t realize they looked just like shallots and garlic. One job … heavy sigh.
34. Huge savings
Everyone loves a bargain. Often, shoppers wait to head to the store so they can take advantage of sales. You know, like this one,
35. Good job … not really
For anyone with a bad back, bending over is by far one of the hardest and most painful things to do. Yeah, here’s a great idea. Let’s put the back pain relief medication on the bottom shelf.
36. Marketing fail
If a company is going to market non-stick frying pans, they should do one of two things. First, don’t put a sticker in the center of the pan that won’t come off. Second, make a product that works.
37. A single screw
A wife asked her husband to put a new electrical outlet cover on the wall. It only needed one screw. Hopefully, she doesn’t depend on him for big jobs.
38. Hang it with pride
Or more like hang your head in shame. Usually, Walmart has pretty cool garden flags. This one … not so much.
39. Confusing message
“Okay, here’s the deal. You need to put one keyring on the cardboard that says ‘Be Fri’ and a second one that says “st ends. Got it?”
40. TMI
Who knew airplanes could fart? According to this, they do. And they’re longer and larger than most.
41. Renovation fail
They wanted to be a mason but their skills suck. You have to feel bad for this homeowner. If it wasn’t so pathetic, it’d be funny.
42. Thanks for nothing
Due to classrooms at one school getting so warm, the board approved the installation of ceiling fans. Now, kids are just as hot as they were before. Why just why?
43. Beautiful bathroom tile
Having new tile installed in a bathroom is exciting. Well, not for this family. We’re not sure if the contractor didn’t notice the flower design or they just didn’t care.
44. Oh, the shame
Who would’ve thought that Batman could do something as horrible as stealing someone’s identity? But he did, posing as one of the Avengers. Whoever packaged these toys isn’t a fan of action heroes.
45. Dressed to kill
The store manager had one request for their employee. Dress the mannequins so they look amazing. To whoever did this, a mannequin’s arm goes through the sleeve … you know … just like a real human.
46. Deceptive
Just as the name implies, an hourglass is supposed to transfer sand from one side to the other in an hour. This one only took 37 minutes. If we were these people, we’d demand that whoever made this count every grain until they get it right.
47. Congratulations, Heath
For his dedication to the healthcare industry, this guy received a nice token. See, it even has his name spelled out. Ah…that was supposed to read “health,” not “Heath.”
48. A gorgeous pattern
Laying this floor tile should’ve been a breeze. All the person had to do was continue the pattern. The only positive aspect … it’s in a dentist’s office where it helps distract patients.
49. Hello?
It appears as though a certain employee needs some training as to what qualifies as a “non-essential” item. Just an FYI…facemasks aren’t among them. Remember, they protect people during the pandemic?
50. One wrong step
Yep, that’s all it would take for someone to have a very unpleasant experience. Just imagine if there’s a sleepwalker who lives in this house? Let’s face it, some people just aren’t cut out for construction work.
