36 Funny Fails From Last Week That Made Us Feel Better About Our Own

Add as a preferred source on Google

Did you make it through last week without becoming a story someone tells at dinner? Congratulations. That’s a successful week. We need to start recognizing accomplishments that don’t come with a certificate.

I’ve had days where my biggest achievement was grabbing the correct Tupperware lid on the first try. Growth doesn’t always look impressive from the outside.

The people in this week’s funny fails weren’t all that fortunate. Some made mistakes. Others were simply standing close enough to someone else’s mistake to get included. Thankfully, somebody thought to document the situation, giving the rest of us a little reassurance that we’re doing fine. Or at least fine enough.
