Messy Bun With a Pen
Of all the easy-to-do hairstyles, making a bun with the help of a pen or a pencil is the easiest, even more so for a college student. No need for scrunchies, hair ties, or rubber bands; instead, reach for the stationary on your desk, bunch up your long tresses and insert the pen to hold the mane in place.
In this picture, the girl went for the hairdo with a capless pen. The result is for all to see—a messier neck thanks to her messy bun. She will probably not notice it until someone points it out to her. Maybe she absentmindedly did the quick fix hairdo before rushing to catch the bus.
The Sad Saga of an Unplugged Curling Iron
If you are shaking your head with a sheepish grin, you are among the millions who have accidentally attempted to use an unplugged electric tool. Rest assured, it happens to the most diligent of us. So, the girl in the picture must have been frustrated to find her curling iron not doing its job.
Curling your beautiful tresses with an appliance is an exhausting process. It takes time, effort, and oodles of patience. After a few desperate tries, she must have wondered why her trusted curling tool wasn't doing its job, especially when running late for an important event. We hope she didn't take long to realize her folly.
Working Diligently Under Pet Supervision
Dogs are adorable companions; they perk up your day with their presence. As seen in the picture, the man working on his tablet does not seem to mind his large pet sitting atop his head, overseeing his work.
Maybe it's some light work he is doing, or it's been only a few minutes since his dog decided to be clingy. Whatever the case, give it some time, and we anticipate a strict reprimand or a gentle shrug to let his pet know not to disturb him while at work. On the other hand, the owner is probably used to this show of affection from his pet and welcomes the attention.
The Mighty Fall of the Flat-Screen TV
This is it if you want to look at heartbreak in a picture. The sight of the shattered flat-screen TV lying face first on the hardwood floor will haunt us for a while. Firstly, it is an expensive model that's sturdy enough to take all the rough handling.
Flat-screen television sets are usually meant to be wall-mounted, so we wonder what went wrong. Considering the chunk of cement slab that's come off the wall, the construction wasn't solid enough to hold the unit's weight. How we hope the television wasn't a recent addition to their newly built home! Now, that's what we'd call a total disaster.
An Unforgettable Embarrassing Moment From Childhood
Ask a room full of adults if they remember any embarrassing incidents from their childhood, and you’ll see everyone raise their hands. Most of the anecdotes will also center around how they realized their mistakes only years later, which only compounds their embarrassment.
Andy Ryan recalls one such from three decades ago at a park. He heard a lady yell for everyone to gather around for ice cream, and seeing all the kids go for it, he joined them too. Handing the treats, the woman looked at him and asked who the boy was. That's when he realized the rest of the kids were from her family. Not a year goes by without him feeling sheepish about his mistake.
The Mystery of the Avocados
Considering that there are millions of species of trees in the world, it's not surprising that most of us don't know some trees when we see them. Yet, this person's case is quite hilarious, as he failed to notice that he had a grown avocado tree on his lawn.
After noticing that avocados were "mysteriously" appearing in his compound, he raised the concern with his friend and thought that children were throwing the fruit over the fence. Imagine people waking up in the morning to find avocados in their yards! It turns out the lad had an avocado tree in his yard, and we can only imagine the shock on his face.
Microwave Experiment Goes Wrong
Sometimes, you want to wear your favorite shirt, but there's one problem; it's still damp. So you decide to use other means to dry it, and this lad opted to put his into the microwave. We have no idea what made him select that option, but we're curious how he thought it would turn out.
Well, he didn't wait long to know that microwaving a garment is a bad idea. While the T-shirt was dry, it ended up with prominent black marks that ultimately ruined it. We doubt he'll ever wear it again, or better yet, try to dry anything in the microwave in the future.
A Detour to Nowhere
They say patience pays, and this person figured out the wisdom in the phrase a tad too late and learned their lesson the hard way. After seeing a line of traffic cones blocking off a section of the road, which caused some traffic buildup, they thought it wise to break the barrier so they could try to get ahead.
That turned out to be an embarrassing move, as they got stuck in what was a freshly repaired section of the road. We have no idea what prompted them to make that choice, but they're undoubtedly in big trouble and will have to deal with authorities. Aside from that, they will have to handle car repairs as well.
Snack Attack Plan Foiled
Anyone who has experienced the pain that comes with your snack getting stuck in the vending machine understands this picture. This person had the double tragedy, paying for a sandwich that got stuck, and when they bought a drink to push down the sandwich, it got jammed.
While this rarely happens, the vending machine can be a nightmare, especially on the days when you're starving and need something to keep you going before getting a proper meal. Lady luck had abandoned this person on this day, and we wonder if they ever managed to get the problem fixed before verbally lashing out at the machine.
One, Two, Say, ‘Pay Attention
You walk into a mall and realize there's a banner with a picture of your favorite celebrity. People are taking photos next to this sign, and thankfully, there's a guy that's volunteered to take the pictures for anyone interested. What an opportunity!
This is what happened when people saw a banner of Lewis Black. What they did not know was that their most beloved comedian was nearby, watching them. Hopefully, Black eventually revealed himself and did his fans the honor of meeting him in person because that would have undoubtedly been a more memorable and better experience for them.
Good Intentions, Poor Execution
As a way to raise awareness of breast cancer, the people in charge of manning this fountain thought it would be brilliant to have the watercolored. This way, the rare color would create interest in those walking by and spark conversations that would help to prevent and manage the life-threatening disease.
The only problem was that instead of making the water pink, which is the universal color code for breast cancer, they used a red dye. While their intentions were good, those who executed this idea missed the mark and didn’t achieve the intended goal.
The Calculator That Just Wouldn’t Get Things Right
Thank goodness for the invention of alarm clocks because where would we be without them? We may hit the snooze button a couple of times, but eventually, we do wake up.
As much as we all have our laughable stories to tell for the absurd things we’ve done when we were exhausted, this one right here was unexpected. This person was so tired and out of it on this particular night that instead of setting the alarm on their phone, they typed the number eight on their phone’s calculator before passing out. Well, at least next time, they know to check twice that they’re using their alarm and not the calculator.
The Hotdog That Never Was
There are only three sure ways of making someone happy; cook for them, buy them food or simply be food. We would love to take credit for coming up with this joke, but we did not. It’s a popular meme and one that whoever came up with the strategy in this picture probably had in mind.
While they couldn’t get the person who passed nearby this drainage a meal, making them believe that they were staring at a giant hotdog with some wasabi on the side seemed like the second best option, and it worked. Thanks to them, we’re currently craving a hotdog, so there go our healthy eating habits which we have worked so hard to build.
No to Free Pizza
Can we take a moment to commend this person for being so honest? You would rarely find someone telling a truth that would have them miss out on something they like. Heaven knows if we were in their place, we wouldn't say no to a free pizza.
Before you judge us, we're genuine people, and we're not just saying that to look good; it's a fact. Even so, accepting the second pizza would be a white lie that wouldn't hurt a soul. Think of it as an offer to "buy one and get one free," just that the business operators don't know they're running the offer.
It’s the Thought That Counts
Imagine being sure you're bringing your girl flowers only for her to tell you what you brought is lettuce. This guy here wasn't used to buying flowers before, and when he decided that his then-girlfriend deserved some beautiful purple blossoms, the poor guy picked lettuce, thinking they were flowers.
We know what you're thinking. This wouldn't have happened had he spent some more time in the kitchen. Well, he didn't, and we get to laugh at him alongside his beautiful girlfriend. We'll give it to him though; the chap tried his best. After all, don't they say it's the thought that counts?
Did Someone Say "Starch Your Engines? "
We know mastering the English language is no mean feat and may take a toll on some. If anything, this simple mistake confirms it. So this guy must have seen the phrase "starch your engines" and thought it must have some deep meaning he did not know.
A good learner always asks questions, so we commend him for asking. It turns out you are not putting starch in the engines or gathering energy for a difficult task ahead like an overthinker would assume. There simply was a grammar error, and the simple phrase ought to have been "start your engines." Now it makes so much sense!
No, It’s Not Cleansing
A sensational citrus mouth cleanse; you can't relate, right? It's hard to remember every time you had a citrus drink, but we bet you wouldn't forget if it had any sensation. In Shakespork's case, every attempt to take a citrus drink ends in serious sweating on the face and an inability to feel their tongue. It sounds somewhat strange until you read their update.
We are not sure what eventually took this person to the doctor's, but while at it, they discovered that it wasn't a cleansing sensation as they thought, but an allergic reaction to citrus. Thankfully, this discovery wasn't too late, and they could stop taking citrus drinks.
What Exactly Happened Here?
At first, it may look like a dark chocolate chip cake waiting to be devoured, but if you pay more attention, this is a full-blown burnt pizza. The pizza enthusiasts are likely feeling scathed at this point because they imagine this whole thing will go into the trash can any minute.
Did the person check the pizza while it was in the oven? Did they want it a bit crispier and then forgot to set the timer to a few minutes, or did their oven timer stop working? We, too, have so many questions and feel the pain of a wasted pizza as much.
What Did Finland Do to Them?
We all get the feeling of being done with finals; very few things match that feeling of excitement. That's why this person was beside themself with joy and didn't see the typo until they'd posted. That's when they realized that they wrote Finland instead of finals and decided to follow up with a correction of the mistake.
The funny thing is that even after saying they were sorry they meant to write finals, the person went ahead to express their frustration at Finland, too. So the only befitting question at this point would be, What did Finland do to them?
I Don't Understand What You Mean
We all have been rejected or have rejected someone at some point in our lives. When you ask someone out, there are two options; they might say yes, or pass on the opportunity. Still, in the world of naysayers, we don't think we have come across a rejection like this.
Looking at it from a literal perspective, this person got the appropriate answer. Of course, it could be that this isn't what they meant, but if they used a different way to ask their crush out on a date, the response might have been different. Either way, this is one of the most interesting ways of saying no, that we've ever seen.
Too Many Tow Trucks
Isn't it awful when you get a flat tire and you don't have a spare one in your trunk, so got to call a tow truck to help you reach a garage to fix the car? Well, the owner of this red motorcar was in the same situation and called for help, but we assume he didn't expect what happened next.
While the service vehicle reached for the rescue, unfortunately, one of its tires too suffered a puncture. Guess who the tow rig had to call for assistance? Another wrecker. Well, we must say, while we do feel bad for both the owners, the sight calls for laughter.
When the Cabinet Came Tumbling Down
The scene in the image is an appalling sight for a homeowner to witness. The kitchen cabinet had become too weak to hold any longer, and down it came breaking everything in its way. While we can't help the person whose home the incident occurred, at least we know not to store glass items anywhere close to something that might fall without a hint.
Imagine the time it will take to clear up all the mess! Then the individual cleaning up the whole thing will have to be careful around the shards of glass. Fortunately, the side shelf did not crumble with the wall unit, but we don't know how long it will hang on there.
New Motto: Read Before Commenting
People are so hooked on social media that they do not miss any opportunity to make fun of or criticize in the virtual world. Some of these might be hurtful and could have an emotional impact on a person. In the present case, a netizen was quick enough to pass their judgment without reading the writings on the girl's T-shirt.
The female tried to send a message to stop wars through the picture, while the individual who commented missed the point. What is more astonishing is that the lady in the image is Natalie Portman, who is one of the cast members of the Star Wars franchise.
Ice for the Whole Town
Looking at this picture gets us thinking about how one would take care of this refrigerator disaster. Nonetheless, on the bright side, the family has a truck full of ice cubes that would last an entire year. We assume someone inadvertently forgot to put the ice tray back in its place. Since there was no tray, the machine kept pumping ice until the fridge had no capacity left to hold anymore.
We wonder how and when the people in this home get rid of the giant block of frozen water. They can't even wait for it to melt as that could lead to another mishap in the making.
A Kitty in Distress
Any cat lover will probably read this with a tear in their eye, as it looks like this poor cat needs help soon. The feline had been enjoying himself with his owners, floating away in the pool, but sadly he drifted a bit too far, and if his expression is anything to go by, he doesn't love the experience.
While some cats have no problem taking a dip in the water, this one doesn't love water one bit and is screaming for help. What was to be an easy afternoon of chilling in the pool, turned out to be disastrous. Hopefully, someone went forth and helped get the kitty out of the large water mass nightmare.
Framing a Work of Art, the Fan
We see art in many creations, and when Jesse looked at the fan, he thought the homeowner had decided to get a picture of his ceiling fan framed. Luckily, the lad figured out almost immediately that his eyes were playing tricks on him. What he thought was a picture frame turned out to be a mirror.
It's great that Jesse found out the truth after a second glance and gave his followers an update on his mistake. Yet, he wouldn't have found himself in this situation if only he had waited for a little while before posting on his social media. Even so, we bet everyone on his timeline had a good laugh out of it.
Banter Between the Boys
Friendships include being there for one another through thick and thin, but it also means that you can play tricks on one another. If you're wondering whether the people in this picture are Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and Jake Gyllenhaal, the answer is yes.
The three have been close friends for a while, and Jake and Hugh decided to pull one on Ryan, inviting him to what they called a sweater party, which turned out to be inaccurate. The laughter on their faces tells it all; the mission has been accomplished, and Ryan's embarrassed. We have to say, though, that Ryan's sweater is beautiful.
How Did We Get Here?
Looking at this image makes our brains freeze as we try to make sense of what happened here. We're glad that the picture exists because trying to explain this to someone is an uphill battle.
How the car got stuck up there is beyond us. Were they transporting it? If so, what means were they using? That is undoubtedly one expensive accident, as the car on top is significantly ruined and ultimately not road worthy. Maybe the people at the scene have the perfect explanation for what exactly happened, but the rest of us will have to make do with the ridiculous image.
Caught in the Napping Act
Over the years, we have seen humans showcasing a wide array of talents, but we think this one is unexpected and brilliant at the same time. This guy can hold the phone with his feet and text with his feet without breaking a sweat. If that isn't something from the famous The Planet of the Apes movies, we don't know what is.
To put another twist on this stunning tale, the lad was seemingly taking a nap while doing all this. We need to get this man into a talent show ASAP, as he's sleeping on a gift that will change his finances for good and bring joy to his audience.
Would You Embroider Your Face on a Towel?
It's funny how the internet can make anything believable. For instance, this guy posted a picture of himself in front of the bathroom mirror, but someone saw a different thing. In the reply, they first thought this guy had his face embroidered on the towel.
We'd bet you checked the photo a second time and will agree both stories seem authentic. It happened to us, too! The only catch is that we haven't seen anyone put their picture on their towel before. While it is a weird thing to do, we're not ruling out its possibility entirely.
A Little Cardi B Look-Alike
Let's take you back to the first time someone said you looked like a celebrity. How did it feel? Of course, most folks would be over the moon because we mean you're being associated with a star. Not this little girl, though.
When kids from her school told her she looked like Cardi B, the little girl was infuriated and told her sister that she had lost it. Doesn't she look like the rapper, though? We honestly can't tell them apart in this collage. Besides, how these small kids from her school knew Cardi looked like the young lady as a child baffles us as much.
How to Melt a Tomato
You seriously didn't believe that title, did you? We don't know of anyone who has figured out how to melt a tomato. Even so, if any tomatoes were to ever qualify as melted, it would only be because they went through the process of becoming ketchup or sauce, which will often involve blending them first.
So, is this an old tomato? We thought so, too, at first. Then we took a closer look at it and realized what you're about to learn—it's a pile of ketchup with a tomato stem on top! The person who took this photo got us; we'll give them that.
This Is Going to Be Painful
If you don’t know what it’s like to feel pain on behalf of someone, this is it. Anyone who has ever had a Band-Aid on knows how painful and uncomfortable it is to pull it off. This guy’s pain actually looks like it’s going to be enormous considering the Band-Aid will pull at his many hairs while coming off.
Thinking ahead to that moment, we hope he knows of a hack he could use to make the process less painful because we can’t deal. One can literally feel the poor guy’s pain in advance; it sends chills down the spine.
A Soapy Cake Hitch
Few things match the disappointment that this person got after realizing the tiny gift they got from work wasn’t something to eat like they had initially thought. They probably thought it was a cake because it looks like one, and couldn’t wait to indulge, only for them to get home and realize it was soap.
We can imagine the distaste that came with it but more so the disappointment that they wouldn’t be indulging in the tiniest bit of cake that day. We can’t help but wonder if it didn’t smell like soap. They may have been saved from the plight of having to eat it first.
