50 + People who figured out they made a big mistake a little too late

Everyone experiences an epic fail from time to time. But some of them manage to make it to the Internet where your humiliation can be memorialized forever.
If we all paid a bit more attention we might not make big mistakes. But letâs face it, sometimes we just canât anticipate everything.
Nobodyâs perfect, but these 60 people have proof of that â and we have something to laugh about (or cringe over) as a result.
1. Dad fail
Someday this dad is going to be telling his daughter to put some MORE clothes on when she leaves the house.
But in the meantime, heâll have to learn that overalls should actually go OVER something.

2. Next time, hide the body better
This Redditor woke up to cops, a fire truck, and an ambulance outside his house at 6 am all because of a Halloween decoration he failed to take down.
Really though, shouldnât you try not to leave things that look like dead bodies on your porch?

3. At least he tried?
Bath bombs are pretty big, so weâre not sure what this husband was thinking when he threw one into the toilet.
Thatâs $10 down the drain. Literally.

4. Attachment fail
Oh, man. Weâre just cringing over this fail.
Can you imagine having to explain yourself?

5. When gouging your eyes out is the only option
Havenât we established that taking nudes is a huge security risk?
And yet, some people really feel like they want to memorialize their naked bodies.
Itâs hard to believe someone could be so cavalier with their nude photos that they could accidentally send them to the wrong person, much less to their SISTER.

6. Brain spasm
Hey, at least this person corrected their own mistake.
But now we can safely assume that there are, indeed, stupid questions out there.

7. When life gives you avocados
This guy thought he was under attack by someone throwing avocados.
Technically, they were pummeling him from the sky â itâs just that it makes sense if you have an avocado tree in your yard.

8. Job application fail
If we could all be a bit less obnoxious and reactionary when people texted us, we would avoid situations like this.
Weâre guessing he didnât make it to the interview stage.
But he did make us LOL.

9. Tastes clean
We hope this is a joke.
But doesnât everyone know at least some weird soul who has tried to find out if food-scented products actually taste good?
No, just us?

10. The whole baby
To be fair, this is a lot less worrisome than leaving half a baby on a bus.
This person isnât exactly mother of the year.

11. Slide show
Has Mitchell never noticed this?
Weâre pretty sure weâd have to get this repainted once we saw when happened when the door slid open.
But at least heâs giving bystanders a good laugh.

12. Dads and diapers
This dad apparently wasnât paying attention when his wife told him their toddler needed a swim diaper for the pool.
Weâre surprised she can even stand up!

13. Late onset common sense
Itâs impressive to go years thinking that some foods make your mouth numb.
We just hope this person had a full allergy workup and didnât love carrots and almonds too much.

14. Itâs the thought that counts
Thatâs a sweet and hilarious fail.
But donât you think twice before buying flowers in the produce section?

15. Got the blues
Did this person assume they bought a blue microwave? And they were happy about it?
3 years is an impressively long time for that protective film to stay on â weâre almost impressed.

16. A for effort
First, itâs a pretty lenient professor that lets students text their phones.
Hey, at least it wasnât a nude!

17. So when do I start?
Itâs time to clean up your computer desktop when your recipes are close to your resume.
At least if she doesnât get an interview sheâll know why.

18. Heâs in a better place now
Yikes! That will make your stomach lurch temporarily.
But at least dad probably got a laugh out of it on his new boat.

19. Nicholas Cage wants to know
Wow, people really need to be more careful when they attach files!
This person accidentally sent a potential future boss this photo of the actor instead of their cover letter and resume.
Time to start naming files more clearly!

20. Panic mode
Itâs best not to panic when dealing with email â nothing good ever comes of it.
Just take a deep breath and double check those attachments!

21. Yes, itâs too late
Weâve all had our share of embarrassing typos, but when itâs embarrassing and offensive thereâs really no living it down.
We wonder how this face to face meeting went.

22. Four-letter words
You canât build an algorithm to create 4-letter words but exclude the offensive ones?
Well, weâre sure they tweaked it right after this!

23. Butch, please
You canât even blame autocorrect for this one.
We just hope itâs the kind of office where everyone can laugh about it.

24. Fresh breath
Who makes a brown soap cake?
Weâre blaming the soap makers for this one. We would have assumed it was chocolate too!

25. Now with more fiber
Thatâs a lot of paper to have eaten over a lifetime.
We just hope they never ate those silver foil ones!

26. Beached fail
These geniuses took their new Mercedes to the beach where it quickly sank into the sand and became a total loss.
But donât worry, it was only worth $80,000.

27. Thatâs what friends are (supposed to be) for
Oops! Did that one end up in the yearbook?
Canât a good photographer Photoshop that out?

28. Door jam
This is why itâs important to hire a professional.
We just hope thatâs not a bathroom door because theyâre going to have to find a way to cover that extra hole!

29. Think outside the box
Looks like this guy is going to be there for a while!
The best part is it looks like he hasnât even figured it out yet â heâs still just painting away happily!

30. Mind. Blown.
We hate to say it, but we were today years old when we found this out as well.
Ponies can be any age.
A baby horse is called a foal.

31. Parents and porn donât mix
Maybe wait until your parents arenât home to watch porn?
We suppose she could claim someone hacked the system.

32. Only God can forgive this
You really need to find a literate tattoo artist if youâre going to get permanent ink.
Weâll leave God in charge of the rest, but weâre definitely going to judgE him.

33. I see London, I see France
We see Brooklynâs underpants.
Thatâs because dad let her convince him they were shorts.
Who lets their kid wear booty shorts to school though?!
Geez, Brad!

34. Product design fail
This is a whole company fail.
How many people were involved in the design of this pool float and failed to notice that it looked like a giant maxi pad?
They just needed one woman to point this out.

35. Think harder
How does Jenn think phones work, exactly?
At least she realized her mistake and was appropriately embarrassed by it.

36. Make up your mind, dude
Some people just really like to get riled up. So much so that they contradict themselves from time to time.
In this case, silence is golden.

37. You lose
Weâll grant that they look similar in this case, but can you really not tell a potato apart from a pear?
Donât you look for the stem so you know where to take your first bite?

38. Sunscreen fail
Câmon people, itâs sunscreen or skin cancer.
In this case, some genius is frying their skin AND looking ridiculous to boot.

39. Itâs going to be a while
We hope this person didnât need their car right away.
And weâre surprised it didnât get towed!

40. One per person
Really? You put your code online before you used it?
Maybe you should just post a picture of your credit card while youâre at it.

41. Camera rights
This does look sketchy, but before you get all upset about things, at least take a closer look.
Last time we checked Nikon didnât make heavy artillery.

42. Fool me twice
Some people will believe anything theyâre told. Again and again.
Letâs all agree to be more skeptical about things â especially edible things.

43. When youâre too dumb to know youâre dumb
Too bad the average IQ is 100.
Weâre starting to understand why people are âunderestimatingâ this genius.

44. Permanent mistake
Did he forget his kidâs birthday or just get his Roman numerals wrong?
We think the last commenter is right â you just need to change the birth certificate at this point.

45. Watching paint dry
This guy managed to paint his way down the stairs instead of up.
Now heâs trapped in the basement.

46. Matching tattoos
Weâre SO embarrassed for this guy who assumed his dogâs marking (indicating heâs neutered) was a tattoo.
At least now they match.
And we think he should agree never to breed in solidarity with the dog as well.

47. Less than super
What poor Little League team had to wear these shirts?
This is why you pay a graphic designer.

48. Rosy cheeks
Now THAT is a bad place for a flower.
Then again, the front wouldnât be any better.

49. Get some
Really?
No one noticed where the doors divided when they put this on the van?
Or did they just know it would be hilarious?

50. Hoods up
Well, thereâs only one way to wear this sweatshirt unless you want to explain to people why you hate animals.
But even with the hood up some people could still read it as âAnti-Animal Cruelty Club.â
We just think itâs an all-around bad name for a club.

51. Brain fart
We donât want to know the answer.
And we hope this guy didnât give him one.
Donât you hate it when your brain and mouth donât work together?

52. Fashion fail
Well thatâs embarrassing.
Then again, how are you supposed to know what the subway is going to wear that day?
You could probably avoid this by buying a slightly less ugly shirt though.

53. Scenic
Apparently, this seemed like a nice place to take a photo. And it was, if you like hilarious photos.
Props to the photographer for not letting that moment go to waste!

54. Would you like ice with that?
These folks forgot to put the ice tray back in the fridge and then were away from home for a few days.
Theyâre going to have to drink A LOT of cocktails before they get over this one.

55. Research before you publish!
How mortifying!
Weâd want a front-page story and an interview to clear things up, not a tiny retraction and correction.
Poor âGood Kevin.â

56. Impressive response time
Why do you even bother to type that in? Just swear to yourself and find another restaurant.
Hopefully the manager got a good laugh out of this mistake.

57. Not lovinâ it
Whoops! Looks like this is going to have to be reserved for warmer weather when a jacket isnât required.
That or heâll need a scarf.

58. Never put a cat in charge
Seriously, who decided the cat should help with anything?
Thatâs one seriouly bone-headed move.

59. Wax on, wax off
You should never use your PC as anything other than a PC.
But you especially shouldnât use it to hold something thatâs on fire.

60. Never download the updates
Curse you, Windows and your incessant updates!
We hope this was an automatic one because we question the logic of someone who changes anything on their computer the same day as a presentation, especially since it can mess up your formatting.
We just hope he wasnât getting an MA in a technical field.

Sometimes weâre not sure how people survive to adulthood.
We could all do with a little more thought before we put our ideas into action.
