15 photos that capture total facepalm moments

We all have moments we’re not proud of when we do something so bone-headed that we can’t even believe ourselves.

But it says a lot about a person if they can own up to it.

Then again, if you’ve done some of these things, it might be better to hide.

Check out these extra-cringe-worthy moments:

1. DIY brakes

Whoops! Look who is going nowhere fast.

Good thing they had a sense of humor about it.

2. Live and learn

Putting water in the microwave noodle container is what makes them soft AND what keeps the whole thing from going up in flames.

Now he knows.

3. Now that’s a mess!

Now we know what happens if you accidentally use a cutting board as a baking sheet!

We’re surprised no one smelled that before it turned into mush.

4. Sauced

Do you know what’s more enjoyable than photographing your food?

Getting a chance to eat it before it spills all over the table.

Don’t people realize how tacky they look posing like this in restaurants?

5. Snow roof

That’s why they tell you to read the manual first.

Then you don’t have to experiment with the buttons and have something like this happen.

6. Great headshots, but…

We’re sure people are pretty frazzled after a fender bender, but this just made us laugh.

7. Tattoos can be removed but stupid is forever

Ok, so maybe this person learned some lessons after this.

We’d start with never giving yourself a home tattoo of any kind before we moved on to looking up the meaning of symbols and then spelling.

8. We wonder what color the third one was

This really speaks for itself.

You can’t fix stupid….

9. Look before you leap

Or skewer, in this case.

It’s impressive that they managed to get the screw all the way through the metal cap before realizing their mistake.

At least the wine is still drinkable!

Not one of my brightest moments. from r/pics

10. This is why we send kids to school

We’re not entirely sure she ever facepalmed over this. But the rest of us sure did!

11. Is this her first bottle?

How do you not realize there’s a screw pull on your knife right next to the tiny blade you’re using to maim a wine cork?

Maybe someone needs less alcohol.

12. But why?

Do you think he ever facepalmed or is he still taking the piece of cardboard everywhere instead of just turning around his hat?

That darn sun…

13. Hat man is not alone

We’re so confused.

Even if the umbrella is broken in some way, holding it open would still be a better option.

But that’s not how it works…

14. Mad libs

Ok, now that’s hilarious.

We just hope the school let this kid go on the trip.

15. Lockout

Ok, so this one was likely taken after the facepalm.

But the poster was man enough to admit it was a stupid mistake and give everyone a good laugh.

I am not a smart man. from r/pics
