Some individuals are exceptional at following instructions, ensuring that every request is completed to the best of their ability.
On the other hand, some people, whether due to incompetence or intentional disregard, show no concern for any task, regardless of how clear the instructions are. Here are 16+ examples of people who don’t follow orders well.
“Slenderman is crying…”
“Sir, did you not read the sign?”
“But I’m wearing a mask. I thought it was a mistake.”
“Nope. Now, hold still while I peel your face off with this knife.”
“Oh my God!”
“My girlfriend asked me to help with making cookies. I don’t know what got me fired so quick.”
What likely got him fired was that she spent a long time meticulously crafting a precise phallic-shaped cookie, while the boyfriend just made a bunch of stars. How dull!
“Ask for Tyler…”
I believe this might count as breaking the first rule of Fight Club. They’ve tried to cleverly disguise it, but it’s not fooling anyone!
You’re Doing What Now?
I have a lot of questions about what the person who put up this sign was thinking. But the biggest one is simply… how?!
This Cat That Couldn’t Sit Still For A Single Panoramic Photo…
I hope this is just a distorted panoramic photo; otherwise, they seriously need to feed their cat more!
“It’s time for shcool!”
To salvage this, you could put quotation marks around it and attribute it to Sean Connery underneath.
“Whose idea was it to put an elastic band around this…”
This was obviously handled by someone who viewed the “Please do not bend” message as a challenge rather than a polite request.
“Local newspaper not quite sure how hyperlinks work.”
This is the future of print media: paper that allows you to click a link and instantly navigate to a web page.
“My wife doesn’t want our newborn son’s face posted on social media, so she asked me to censor over it. Needless to say, I won’t be asked to do that again.”
Another child is tragically affected by a condition known as Emoji Face. This is a genuine illness that the world must begin to take very seriously.
“I’m pretty sure my mom will never again ask my help with putting away the nativity scene.”
Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the paragraph:
“I don’t see any issue with these names. Aren’t these the names used for the people in the nativity story in the Bible? I remember reading about it, but I’m having trouble recalling.”
“Or do, I don’t care!”
“Seriously, these boxes think they can’t be stacked? Oh, I’ll prove them wrong!”
“Dave, please, the boxes aren’t challenging you. After getting fired from the post office, can you really afford to lose another job?”
“That’s good to hear…”
I’d prefer the spider infestation issue to be fully resolved. How can you only “mostly” resolve such a situation? You’d expect a straightforward resolution for something like this.
“There’s always a loophole.”
This entire situation could have been prevented with the simple use of a hyphen. Nonetheless, don’t forget to express gratitude to management for this oversight!
“That’s not a wrong idea.”
Here’s a rewritten version of the paragraph:
“The charm of this subtly decorated cake lies in its versatility—you can present it at any time, and it will always be perfectly suitable!”
“Locked the door, boss!”
“Let me get this straight—you had a lock right there, and still thought this was the best course of action?”
“Have you attempted to remove that lock from its packaging? They’re practically indestructible!”
“Valid point…”
I Think They Might Have Overlooked Something…
“So, to enter, you simply need to climb through this window here.”
“But what about the door right next to it?”
“Oh, that’s just for letting in air. It’s more like a window, really!”
“Task failed successfully.”
“That will be one dollar.”
“I… I thought you said the coffee was free?”
“Yes, it is! But the total comes to one dollar, please.”
“I’m not sure you understand what ‘free’ means.”
“Door successfully installed.”
Here’s a rewritten version: “This is a perfect example of why it’s important to measure twice and cut once! It might still function as a door, in a manner of speaking.”
“Cursed cutting board…”
Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of your paragraph:
Oh, I can almost smell the aroma through the screen! I’m sure it enhanced the flavor of the garlic bread wonderfully!
Dear God, Who Cut This Cake?
This cake cutting is atrocious! Who could treat such a pristine object like this?!
“Security gate for private property!”
“But… what if people start cutting across the grass?”
“No one will walk on the grass; they’re civilized, after all!”
What In God’s Name…?
“I’m here to paint the floor, not to relocate forklifts!”
“Seriously? Is that the issue you’re choosing to stand firm on?”
“Printed the sign, Boss.”
“Dave, are you kidding?”
“No…?”
“Well, why aren’t you?! Didn’t you see the sign?”

They way they’re gazing into the camera seems to challenge, as if daring someone to do better.

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version:

“Mom asked for some recent pictures of us for her new house. Naturally, I delivered.”
I’m certain she’ll be absolutely thrilled with this delightful picture! The fact that he isn’t standing directly in the center only adds to its quirky and unsettling charm!
“Saw this at Walmart…”
Just because they’re two bald men who resemble a collection of basketballs bundled in unflattering attire doesn’t imply they are identical!
“This door stopper at my school.”
This stopper has one straightforward task, yet it’s failing miserably! Sometimes, I oddly feel spiritually connected to this stopper…
“Needless to say, mom and dad weren’t too happy with this one.”
“If you wanted proper spelling, you should have opted for the additional fee.”
“Is there really an extra charge for that?”
“Yes, there is now.”
“Built the crosswalk boss!”
This crossing is specifically intended for individuals who wear exclusively two-foot-tall platform shoes.
