There’s the right way of doing things, and then there’s the wrong way of doing things. But how can a solution be wrong when it’s faster? This is how.
Every day, we go through small internal battles. We argue with ourselves over doing things right or doing things fast. The 40 people ahead all opted to do things fast. And the consequences came even faster as a result!
It’s as good as new.
If you look closely, you’ll be able to see that some of the column uses new wood. Thanks to this restoration, the roof that the column’s holding up should stay in place for weeks. Warning: Do not play Jenga with this!
For once, the sockets are making the right expression
Drilling metal screws into the plugs? What could possibly go wrong? The weird thing about this one is that it actually took some effort to do something so stupid.
Looks sturdy
Calm down, there’s some plastic tape. No one could possibly walk over the gap with that tape in place. Right?
Does the Cookie Monster live there?
This is why health and safety laws have to exist. Trash and food should not mix! At least he’s wearing a hairnet.
Who needs one of those fancy red extinguishers?
The beauty of this device is that it’s easy to refill. And you can drink from it too! Why does anyone use normal fire extinguishers?
The company rules said no, but her sneakers said, “Just Do It!”
So this is why sneakers can’t be managers! In reality, this is a company issue. They need to buy bigger stepladders!
Was this builder a pirate in a past life?
That or they were inspired by the whole, “walk the plank,” spirit. They can probably also make amazing card towers. Also, what is that platform/plank thing?
Prevention is better than cure
Why have an emergency when you can just not have an emergency? This is some of the best self help advice out there. That phone should write a motivational book.
Because hauling them up one at a time would take longer
If the wire starts breaking, just grab on to the hook. See. It’s not like there isn’t an emergency plan.
Simply avoid the metal spikes
Yes, that is the only entrance to the building. At least there are two planks. All that pressure on the employer paid off!
They complained that there was no heating in the worksite
It’s ok, the flame was quite far from the wooden studs. Just hope that it doesn’t roll off the ladder. Because that floor is also made of wood.
Always remember the soft landing!
The sign has a point. Slipping and falling hard hurts. So just slip and fall slow and soft from now on!
What’s more dangerous, the fire or the escape route?
If you fall, grab one of those wires. Imagine studying at this college. What are their public safety degrees like?
Watching a scary movie in this seat is not advised
Sure, there’s being lax about health and safety, and then there’s actually setting a deathtrap. This definitely veers into the latter! Someone get that guy a hardhat!
Calm down, it’s a church. Jesus will protect him
Was he trying to fix the roof or trying to reach heaven? With this method, he’ll get there one way or the other. Or maybe that other place with the fire and stuff.
There’s something fishy going on here
On the plus side, that fish can be sold at a discount! And the shoe dirt will give it extra flavor. Yum!
What happens on Craigslist stays on Craigslist
Would you be able to sell this without being consumed by guilt? He lost two fingers. Who knows that the next accident will do?
First thing’s first, don’t panic!
Fixing the door? That takes time. Writing a note? That’s quick!
In a way, he’s literally sleeping on air
And soon, he’ll be sleeping under that air. Does this make you proud to be American? He’s so fearless!
They protect the toes don’t they?
Again, this is one of those lazy solutions that end up taking more effort than doing it properly. Some people are so determined to be lazy that they put in tons of effort. What heroes.
At least they put the cone out to warn them
Seeing that cone will be so reassuring after you’ve broken your leg. Maybe the manager meant that they should put the cone outside of the hole? Hey, they don’t get paid to think sensibly.
This warning could save your life if you didn’t see it
Is this tag made from paper from a tree that fell when no one was around to hear it? Also, why is there a full stop after the word “found”? That’s the real issue here.
They asked him if he had secured the scaffolding.
His response was that he had, “nailed it.” It’s ok. If you look closely, you’ll notice that there’s also a cable tie.
It’s only a 25 foot drop
If you do fall, simply aim for the trash. It looks pretty soft. It must be a joy to work here.
It’s just a thin tile
What makes this tile extra special is that it can also send something all around the world. Will it get past the fire inspector? It would fool me.
The light switch pan is filling up again
Leaky light switches are the worst. And by worst, I mean deadliest. Perhaps a wider pan would fix it?
Like to or love to?
If only there was a place that we could put things that don’t work. Just think, we could employ people to take these things away. Perhaps we could even reuse parts of these broken things in non-broken things?
Cones to the rescue again
It took a while to put them down. But now that they are down, everyone can get back to work. Who wants to play with the forklift next?
One day, they’ll invent an elevator that doesn’t share its “off” button with a lightswitch
And before anyone complains, they underlined the words “do not.” They like to be extra cautious like that! What’s the longest someone’s been trapped in the elevator here?
Thank you, essential workers!
Imagine if one of them was super valuable. As in, it was a priceless first edition. You’d have to risk collapse to get it out!
Whose bright idea was this?
Does anyone else feel like they could get an electric shock from just looking at a picture of it? And tetanus. And splinters.
When you get annoyed at all the people honking
Because, when it lands on the road, it isn’t a problem any more. Fun fact: this truck got pulled over pretty soon. Another fun fact: the driver lost their license.
This is actually pretty ingenious
If the cone were the other way around, it could blow away. Now the hole is basically fixed. And it got fixed in record time!
Daily!
There must have been a lot of dust on that day. That or someone was blatantly disregarding the notice. But who would do that?
So that’s why they were so cheap
Perhaps they shrank in the wash? At least the mice will be warned. And the city saved $3 of taxpayer money.
Is there anything that cones can’t do?
It’s fine. The electrical wire in the water is insulated with rubber. Whoever thought this up is so smart.
The emergency hammer kept on falling off
So of course they cable tied it on. Now it can never come loose. Not even in an emergency.
This is literally a man cave
Bet all the women are jealous that they can’t get man caves now. Sadly, this is just seconds away from being a man cave in. It was fun while it lasted.
Why waste the money on renting a vehicle when you can just buy more straps?
In his defense, he only had to transport them 300 miles. But did he make it before the load squished him? We don’t know.
The worst that will happen is that the plugs will have a bath
Visit this restaurant before it burns down! At least they had the foresight to put a towel under the tank. That made all the difference…
Next time you’re feeling down, just think, at least you weren’t behind any of these dumb disasters!

“I knew I owed it to my son to try to break the family tree of obesity. There are so many compromises to being an obese parent: I was simply forfeiting the ability to participate in so many wonderful moments.”
“As the pounds started to come off, I noticed a change, but others didn’t — until the day I appeared outside of my office standing up.”
“My goal is to train and inspire people to show them that the weight loss is possible.”
“My dad pushed me and motivated me to start working out. He would tell me he wanted me to be around for a long time.”

Not all of us are fashion experts. This is why we try to experiment and mix and match clothes to see if we can look more stylish. Unfortunately, the more we try to look more fashionable, the more we end up failing. The risky fashion choice we make often leaves us looking ridiculous and weird in other people’s eyes.
Fortunately, fashion disasters aren’t always bad. In fact, they can be transformed into little entertainment and also a warning for others to never try to copy them.
Here are the most cringe-worthy fashion fails you need to see this year:
1. Brown logo on white shoes
In theory, putting a brown logo on a white background will make a product look classy. In reality, a brown logo on white shoes just looks like bird poo from afar.
2. A not-so-comfortable evening dress
This is probably one of the most uncomfortable dresses you’ll see. I don’t think you’ll have a great time wearing this to a party or anywhere.
3. When you accidentally stepped on something
This is actually a good pair of shoes if you always walk on mud or dirt. You won’t have to worry about cleaning your shoes. Plus, its design can work as camouflage for when you accidentally stepped on your dog’s poo.
4. Undecided
Will you give up or will you never give up? Well, it’s a good shirt to wear if you still can’t decide. At least, you’re letting other people know where you stand.
5. The letter “G”
There’s nothing wrong with being gay. However, if you are seriously working on showing support to your team, you might want to find another way to do that.
6. Wrong idea
For an introvert, you might find this shirt uncomfortable. It’s like whoever designed it clearly doesn’t know what introverts are like.
7. The crotch
The crotch on these pants doesn’t look like it’s intentionally designed that way. Otherwise, why is it totally misaligned?
8. Lost
Is this in New York or is this in London? I guess the designer is quite as confused as we are.
9. Your Saturday sweater
This sweater’s design is actually cute. Just make sure you don’t pull it taut like that or else, Saturday becomes Turd day.
10. At a candy shop
This is a children’s shirt in a candy shop. It might look harmless but the sexual connotations are quite disturbing.
11. The irony
The way this shirt is marketed is quite confusing. Should you not iron it because it doesn’t look wrinkly or should you not iron it because it’s designed to look wrinkled?
12. The saggy bunny ears
There could have been a better spot for those bunny ears. The way they are sagging at those points looks a bit weird.
13. When you want to look sick
Even if your favorite color is purple, I don’t think you should get these tights. They can make you look like you’re covered in bruises.
14. No, thanks.
This is probably not the best design to have on your swimsuit. Apart from that it’s a children’s character, the theme creates a different connotation.
15. A practical jacket?
This jacket’s design is a bit spooky. It’s like something you’d wear if you’re planning to rob a bank or if you’re aiming to look like a snowman.
16. Is that even a donut?
Without the label, no one would think that it’s a donut. It looks more like someone’s backside.
17. Buy what?
You’ll have to take a closer look for you to actually understand what this shirt is trying to say. The image at the bottom is a glass and the text is supposed to mean “shot”.
18. That “part”
The dress would look nicer if the bottom part wasn’t designed that way. It forms something you can only find in men.
19. Nothing sexual here.
This is a wrestling patch. Despite what it looks like, there’s nothing sexual there.
20. The popping shoes
These shoes can make it easier and safer for you to walk on smooth surfaces. The only issue is the popping sound they make with each step.
21. Just spell it
Using images to replace a letter can make a design look extra nice. However, you just have to make sure that the image actually looks like the letter. Otherwise, you’ll end up making something like this one.
22. Look closely
This shirt is empowering. I’m just hoping that whoever made it counted the fingers before releasing it.
23. Quite distracting
There are dresses that shouldn’t be worn during formal interviews. This is one of those dresses.
24. Crappy design
If you ever pooped on yourself by accident, this is the dress that’ll save your day. On a regular day, however, I think it’s best to avoid this dress and this design.
25. What if you missed the front?
If you are going to issue a warning, it’s best to keep it all in one area. That way, you won’t look like you are actually encouraging a negative behavior like this one.
26. It’s not what you think.
If you’re going to wear a shirt with beads on, think twice about wearing a jacket over it. You might end up looking like this and it’s awkward.
27. Hood on or off
This is the type of jacket you wouldn’t want to wear with the hood off. It sends the wrong message if you don’t put the hood on.
28. Emo?
Back then, this look was a hit among teenagers. Now, it’s something a lot of adults regret and it’s not hard to see why.
29. Not edgy
This look would have been better if she colored her hair completely. With just a few colored areas, it looked weird and awful. It’s like someone spilled paint on her head.
30. All black
In theory, wearing black will make you look slimmer and classier. I guess this photo proves that theory wrong.
31. Those eyes
Wearing a black eyeliner used to be a hit among teenage boys before. It’s a good thing that the phase ended already.
32. When you can’t decide which hairstyle to wear for the day
This hairstyle is quite confusing. It’s like she can’t decide if she wanted dreadlocks or straight hair. It’s a good thing her hair and shirt match.
33. The 2000 glam
This photo summarizes the fashion trend of 2000. Those glossy lips, orange glasses, and twisted hair are just on point.
34. Those eyebrows and lips
It looked like this guy got confused about colors. Pink should go on the lips and black should go on the eyebrows- not
35. Every single day
Back in 2003, this guy used to leave the house looking like this. It’s a good thing that it’s 2020 now.
36. In love with bracelets
This 15-year-old had an immense love of pony bead bracelets. He’s nearly filled his entire arm and neck with them.
37. They thought they were cool.
There are so many things going on with these kids’ styles. From their hairstyles to their jackets and pants, it’s a good thing everything’s over now.
38. Her formal wear
Believe it or not, this kid wasn’t going to a Madonna concert. This was her outfit for the father-daughter church dance in her area.
39. Those baggy pants
Almost everyone in the 90s used to wear those baggy pants. They weren’t just cool back then but they’re quite comfortable, too.
40. Recycled dress
This wasn’t a phase. She just decided that it was a good idea to wear a dress made of trash bags and duct tapes.
41. White face
This woman has just discovered white face powder. It certainly took her style to a whole new level.
42. New male fashion
It’s hard to determine what the designer of this shirt is trying to achieve. This new male fashion certainly looks weird.
43. Would you wear it?
This shirt looks like it has been cut in half and sewn together without checking the alignment of the stripes. Intentional or not, it’s hard to believe that anyone would buy it.
44. Wrong orientation
Ariana Grande would have been proud of this shirt, if only her face wasn’t printed upside down.
45. A sweater for kids
Someone didn’t think hard while designing this. It looks more like “hell” instead of “hello”.
46. The new fashion
These hats prove that in today’s fashion, stains and tears are cool. You won’t have to worry about keeping your hats clean anymore.
47. This is high fashion.
It’s hard to understand why someone would buy this sweater. It’s even harder to understand why a sweater in this condition would cost nearly a thousand dollars.
48. Crazy expensive shoes
These shoes seriously looked like they’ve been picked up from the garbage can. You can clearly see hot glue and duct tape on it!
49. When fashion makes no sense
Sometimes, it’s hard to understand fashion. It can be as confusing as this zipper that has no pocket.
50. Speechless.
These pants are crazy. They are painful not just in the eyes but in the brain, too.
