Sooner or later, we all fail. As much as we’d rather not, it’s simply part of life. But if there’s one thing that makes it a little easier to bear, it’s knowing that it happens to everyone—even the best of us.
Below, we’ve rounded up some truly unfortunate fails that people decided to share online. Scroll down to take a look, and maybe spare a little sympathy for them while you’re at it. They could probably use the reminder that they’re not alone.
#1 Boyfriend Was Cutting Down A Tree Limb
The initial fall went fairly smoothly, but when he sawed through the bits that were still attached to the trunk, it veered off and busted through the window. I’m just glad he’s okay.

#21 Glass Dish Broke Seconds After I Took It Out Of The Oven While I Was Hovering Over It
Thankfully had made 2, one in a cast iron skillet and one in a glass pyrex dish. The cast iron one turned out amazing at least! I didn’t get injured aside from a small piece of hot glass hitting my stomach as I was wearing a crop top, which only stung but didn’t break the skin. I also spilled my entire pepper shaker 30 minutes later.

#24 I Baked My AirPods Along With My Choc Chip Cookies
I turned the oven on to preheat it. 3 min later I removed the oven tray to put it into the kitchen island so I can line it with cookie dough. It didn’t feel very hot, yet the AirPods that were on the kitchen island presumably attached to it. When I opened the oven after baking for 10 min, there was an abnormal cookie.

#30 Husband Lost His iPhone On Vacation. We Used Find My From My Phone And Tracked It To Its Last Location. Found It Run Over
He had it on him when we were out and about but didn’t notice it was missing until late at night. We were playing switch with the family back at the rental so he wasn’t thinking much about it. Decided to track its location and saw it was at the boardwalk we were at. Went back and looked for about 20 minutes in the parking lot. Found it smashed to bits! Had to go to the Verizon store the next day. At least we know what happened to it.

#33 I Scratched My 2-Days-Old Tesla Everywhere Using The Metal Shovel
I am mad at myself. Just moved to the north and never encounter such big snow storm. Just seeing my neighbors were cleaning the snow using their shovel. I did the same but with the metal one.

#34 Mouse Pad Fused Into My Desk
I’ve been using this 900 x 400 mouse pad for more than a couple of years, used to put it in the washing machine with a soft program to clean it. Then at some point it starting sticking to my desk and I left it as is for months… many beer spills and hot days later, it has almost completely sticked to the desk and has become hard, compact and crumbly once detached from the desk. I’ve scrapped what I could, putting quite some force into it. I’ve tried some boiling water and 90 degrees alcohol without good results. What remains on the pictures will not go as ‘easily’ as the rest. What would be the best way to proceed? Electric sander?

#39 Left Chicken In The Oven 4-5 Hours As I Slept. No Dinner For Me Last Night
I got so hungry at 3am. I had a Salami Foot-long Sub for lunch it really hit the spot. Is it at all surprising/shocking to you that I did god awful in Culinary School and was removed from the program 11 years ago?

#41 The Crime Scene And The Perpetrator
He’s usually so good with my plants but I recently got a new (to me) plant stand and I think he was just extra curious. Honestly my fault for not doing a shake test on the stand bc I think it was kinda easy for him to tip over. I’m just glad he’s okay and that nothing fell on him and bonus that all of my plants made it out alive with minor injuries. I did lose my 3 favorite pots in the incident but lesson learned. I set the stand back up and put something underneath the base and it feels sooo much sturdier now. Hopefully I don’t regret just putting it right back up because I do really like this plant stand and was finally able to fit multiple plants in one of my best sunlight spots.
