We all want to come off as smart and we all want to impress people we know. If you disagree with this, well sorry, but you’re lying! The thing is, it’s perfectly OK to want to impress people. The problem is when you go one step too far to do it, or when you pretend you know your stuff when you don’t actually know what you are doing at all.
The cool thing about people messing up is that it’s really entertaining for us, the people watching from afar. They might feel embarrassed, but we’re getting a laugh out of it. We rounded up some of the funniest times people messed up, so hopefully, that will put a smile on your face!
1. Worst delivery man ever
This delivery man delivered this person’s package which would be cool except he left it directly under their doorknob. This meant that they were locked inside of their apartment and actually had to call for help to get out. Not really the way you want to find out you got a package!
2. No one thought this one through
Church advertisements can be hard sometimes, we get it… But is this church aware that they’re actively going against everything they preach? Did no one notice this?!
3. Wasn’t his time
He really isn’t going down without a fight! They were on the way to his funeral but he really wasn’t into the idea. Not in a rush to get there at all, clearly.

4. Just keep pushing
Okay, this clearly doesn’t fit. We bet if this bro just keeps pushing though, it will work out. He just needs a bit of magic or something. Just a little push.
5. Bad rice cooker, bad!
It’s clear that this person’s mother didn’t really understand how a rice cooker works. You definitely don’t have to put it on top of the stop top. A for effort, though?
6. RIP
Judging by the tracks, it looks like someone tried to drive across a frozen lake. Then the inevitable happened: they fell through. Were they ever found? The world may never know.
7. Very smart girlfriend
“My girlfriend, who’s in college for brain and behavioral neuroscience, moved into her dorm yesterday and was having trouble setting up the Apple TV I bought her…” Turns out she forgot to plug it into the wall. We can see how that’d be particularly embarrassing for a science major.
8. That will help
“Saw this woman trying to get a better view of the eclipse.” Ah yes, eclipses are rare so we all want to see them! We’re not sure if standing on a step stool will get you there, though.
9. A messy mistake
“I Was Just Absentmindedly Running My Pen Over My Jeans While Talking To My Teacher And I Didn’t Realise It Was Open.” How could you not tell the pen was open?!
10. Wine openers are no longer important
Who says you need a wine opener to open a bottle of wine? These people seem to think you don’t! Do it this way and you’ll have a ton of cork in your wine but hey… At least you won’t need to get a wine opener?
11. Close…
Listen, not everyone can be a handyman. Not everyone can be a smart man. All we’re saying is… Just call a professional to help you.
12. Pretty sure you’re not supposed to do that…
If you want to look at an eclipse, you have two options: 1. Use the glasses or 2. Don’t. Unless you’re the president, then we guess you’re safe.
13. Hair nightmare
We don’t think this girl understands how hair extensions are meant to be used… They are supposed to blend in with your hair but she just plopped them right on top, where the roots are. Hm…
14. Human volcano!
We’ve all seen what happens when you put some Mentos in a bucket of Coke… Now imagine what would happen if you put those two things inside of a person’s stomach. And on a plane! We’d love to see how this ended.
15. Lake of doom!
“My company wanted to make our fountain pink for breast cancer awareness. Didn’t…. quite get it right.” Looks a little bit red actually… Red like blood.
16. Are you sure about that, ma’am?
“Some people wonder why there are warning labels on everything,” a Reddit user mused. This is probably a good reason why. People will absolutely do stupid stuff with the wrong equipment.
17. You had one job
You had one job: Park your car. Bonus points for not crashing it. You’d think it’d be easy with no other cars in the parking lot… You know what? We’re actually a little bit impressed.
18. Good luck getting out
You know the saying, “Paint yourself into a corner”? Well, this guy took it literally and it seems like there’s no way out. You can tell he’s just realizing it, too.
19. Y…
This person thought that washing their keyboard in hot water would be a good idea. Just look at how that turned out.
20. What do you mean this isn’t real cash
An employee actually accepted this as a form of payment. We gotta figure out where this was so we can show up with our Monopoly money!
21. You tried
Who doesn’t love a good food selfie? Well, we don’t. Not when you’re spilling the food all over the table!
22. The day has finally come
“I live in a town where I have been waiting for this to happen for almost 24 years…Today, it finally happened!!!”
23. No TV tonight!
Pretty sure you can’t just put a TV up wherever you want. It might last for a second but then boom… This. Ouch. It hurts.
24. We’re scared
Looking at this picture… We’re not sure these straps are going to work. Gosh, we wish we could see what happened next though.
25. The more the merrier
Does this man know that he has all of those shopping carts? Does he think that he actually needs them? Whatever the reasoning is, this is definitely not one of the smarter things we’ve seen.
26. Cats and baths?
Any good cat owner would know that these animals do not mix well with water. Take one into a tub with you and you’re asking to get scratched up!
27. Beach parking
“Beach parking” just got a whole new meaning. We’d say… Don’t do it. Just don’t park on the beach or you’re going to come back to a nightmare! Quick sand!
28. Reading is hard
“This is my favourite item ever returned at Walmart. Happened at my store.”
29. A little too excited
Ever get really excited to open a package and then accidentally move too fast and cut the actual product inside? Yeah well, this woman did. What a bummer!
30. Weather? Who believes it?
“This is what happens when your 2,088 week old mother LOVES to push buttons in her new car.” This mother does not care about weather!
31. Traffic safety…
…Who needs it? Not this guy, that’s for sure! He does what he wants and looks so smart doing it! (We’re being sarcastic.)
32. This croissant isn’t gonna roll itself
“My friends mother thought that the croissants would just roll themselves up while cooking…” Well at least now you have… Flat bread?
33. Must be from New Jersey
We’re pretty sure we’re not supposed to see the gas streaming out and into the car… This person is not pumping it right. From New Jersey, perhaps? (People in Jersey don’t pump their own gas).
34. Always believe the forecast
This car owner heard that they were going to get their first snowfall of the winter… He laughed and said they’re not. Well, yeah, you can see what happened next. Karma!
35. Snake got your hand
This person lost 1.5 fingers. Why? Because her husband, who had a snake, was trying to get his wife comfortable with snakes. Not sure why she couldn’t have just laid on the couch if he wanted her to get comfortable!
36. Intentional art, obviously
How does this even happen? The world may never know. It almost looks like cool art, if we’re being honest.
37. At least this person isn’t driving a car
This person tied their bike to this very short pole, actually thinking it couldn’t be stolen… Well, at least they aren’t getting behind a driving wheel of a car.
38. Too much soap or not enough snow?
It’s looking like Christmas in July over at this house! While this looks like a fantastic holiday direction, we’re thinking someone put just a little bit too much soap in the laundry… Unsure exactly what happened but man, we’d love to know.
39. Pants?
Do you see this man’s pants, or lack thereof? We bet he didn’t know that it was going to be filmed from this angle. Interesting.
40. Dough from Hell!
“This is what happens when your dumbass manager doesn’t believe that dough will continue to rise.” Oh, dough rises. Exhibit A.
41. Stick sun screen
This is what you will end up with if you decide to use stick sun screen. Do – not – do it!!!
42. First time shopping?
Is this the first time this person has ever gone shopping… Ever? Sure seems like it since they took the whole basket.
43. An unfortunate mistake
These people want fellow drivers to know that they love their dog. However, this sticker is suggesting something a little bit different… It’s an unfortunate misunderstanding.
44. Perfect timing
Make a U-turn at the worst possible time ever? Sure, seems like a great idea. Won’t ruin your car at all!
45. New way to clean stains
Need to clean a stain on your car? Easy! Just pour some gasoline on it! That’s what this woman would tell you at least… We’re being sarcastic.
46. At a McDonald’s drive-thru in Tennessee
“At least the emergency disconnect worked. Apparently, they don’t sometimes,” someone on Reddit said. Apparently, this is a huge safety hazard.
47. “Small car only”
This parking sign clearly says, “Small car only.” So what did this person with a huge car do? Park in the small car parking spot. GAH!
48. Space and size are all relative
This girl was shopping at IKEA and thought this truck-sized piece of furniture was going to fit in her small car. We don’t really see how she could’ve thought this would ever fit… But hey, it’s all subjective, right? (No.)
49. It may have broken your car but hey it still fits
“I have discovered the longest length of board I can fit in my car… apparently a hair shy of 10 feet!”
50. Is it or is it not charging
This person’s mom is confused, but can you blame her? When all of your wires are crossed like that, something is bound to get mixed up.
51. Hoola hoops should be taken seriously
Didn’t you know hoola hoops are all the rage? Some are even more expensive and luxurious than bikes! Okay, we’re kidding… But seriously, who would do this?
52. Logical!
This man’s girlfriend didn’t want to lose the keys to her lock, so what did she do? She locked her lock to her keys. Ouch. This one hurts the brain a lot.
53. Here’s the result of a bad idea
“My 12 year old nephew decided that hitting a spray paint can with a hammer was a good idea,” this person shared. You can clearly see how that one turned out!
54. Court reporting is hard
Some people truly just don’t understand the simplest of things, even if you do map it out for them in black and white. Poor court reporter!
55. They didn’t think this one through
“Hospital I’m at is putting cookies on the patient trays for Halloween. I don’t think they thought this through,” this man shared. He’s definitely not wrong. This is mean!
We hope you feel a little bit smarter after checking these hilarious moments out!
