Sometimes at work, people just don’t get the job done the way they’re supposed to. Other times, they somehow manage to completely mess up the one thing they were in charge of. It’s baffling, frustrating… and honestly, a little hilarious.
Our team went hunting for the funniest examples, and let’s just say they did not disappoint. From “accessible” ramps that are impossible to navigate, to bike paths painted so badly you’d wonder if they even used a ruler, these blunders are equal parts head-scratching and laugh-out-loud. Keep scrolling, these workplace fails are the kind you can’t look away from.
