So chances are it’ll be your turn to take the brunt of it at some point. That’s why it’s important to enjoy the times when it’s happening to someone else.
Funny fails are only hilarious with a little perspective…
1. Look I’ve heard it’s rough in AUS, but South Africa hits different. No morning swim today.
2. How do you guys like my new shower?
3. 48yro hubby was SO excited to get his One Wheel yesterday. 24 hours later, his foot is in a cast.
4. I can immediately tell when UPS is the carrier delivering my Amazon package. Ultimate Package Slayer.
5. So, I, uh… landed a juggling ball into a lit candle.
6. Thinking about burritos all day. Come home from work and microwave my last one. Completely hollow.
7. Managed to get stung by a bee in the middle of winter…
8. Ground pork.
9. Wife sent me to the store for sugar on my way home and I didn’t realize what happened until I went to put it in the trunk. Figured I’d share my misery.
10. FedEx decided the best spot to leave my package was in a snowy ditch, 1/4 mile away, at the end of my driveway.
11. “We need to make this ADA compliant”
12. The pillow did not survive the dryer. At least it’s dry!
13. These are the crystals my 6 year old daughter made and insisted I keep in my coat pocket. I was reminded they were in my coat during my visit to the city county building to take care of some business permitting after emptying my pockets into the tray.
14. When you live in Svalbard, Norway and forgot to close the window to the home office.
15. The way this banner fell.
16. -25 outside. Heavy grocery bag. No gloves. Long reunion/chat with an old friend in the parking lot. Gravity.
17. Tried to buzzcut my hair because all the barbers were closed, clipper called it quits halfway through. 4 days until my Amazon one arrives…
18. Someone’s nail got stuck in the elevator button.
19. My candle order finally arrived. I have Covid and can’t smell anything.
20. The cake I spent an hour to make. At least I’m sure it’s not too dry.
21. Stole one of these candies from my kid’s Christmas stash, learned the hard way they’re actually individually wrapped soaps.
22. Just slipped on ice and tore my favourite jeans. Now I gotta go a whole shift at work with my bright orange boxers on show.
