Were you raised with an emphasis on being cautious? Lessons like double-checking, measuring twice and cutting once, and similar advice?
Most of us probably were, or we learned these habits over time. However, not everyone did, as the individuals on this list could definitely have benefited from a more thorough review.
“Well that’s not the soy sauce…”
Is sweet rice a thing? Can you make it a thing? Actually, rice pudding already exists. Can you make rice pudding from this?
“This ‘motivational’ quote app which doesn’t quite fit all the text on the screen…”
There’s likely a ‘don’t’ at the start of that sentence, making it even funnier that the app decided to only display the middle of the quote. None of this makes any sense!
“That ‘S.’”
Don’t you mean this? Congratulations to the happy couple! Knowing they still love you just as much as the day you got married is a wonderful feeling.
“Tiny rocks at my kid’s park are the same color as the shred. Many face plants.”
Ah, a park—undoubtedly the ideal spot to ignore a potential physical hazard that surely wouldn’t result in a lawsuit if someone were to get injured.
“Found my kid’s watch he lost 3 months ago.”
I had a similar experience when I was younger, but with a phone instead of a watch. So, things could always be worse!
“Sprong squad.”
The egg didn’t necessarily have to be included in the design. Alternatively, it could have been the ‘D’—while not perfect, it’s definitely an improvement over using ‘I’.
Not quite.
I’ve heard about the dangers of smoke, but smork is a new one for me. It sounds even worse—definitely gross.
“[Someone] locked his cycle with my bike.”
Certainly! Here’s a revised version:
“Did they mistake your bike for one on the rack? If you drive off with it, who bears responsibility? Both questions are crucial.”
“Found this, don’t trip!”
Sure, here’s a rewritten version:
“Not only is it hazardous, but cleaning it is a nightmare, completely unreachable! A triple menace!”
“You need REALLY little fingers to squeeze in this.”
“Ah, sorry for the confusion. It’s actually a coin-operated slot. Drop a dime in, and a mechanism lifts the coffee mug straight to your mouth each time you use it.”
“I LOVE my 4 eyed gingerbread men.”
A seamless blend of Halloween and Christmas, ideal for those who can’t choose between their favorite holidays.
“I wish my foot had star power at 3am last night, when my kids left this on the stairs.”
I reside solo in a compact apartment, and I consistently ensure that I keep my phone flashlight on whenever I need to move around at night. It’s just a matter of not fully trusting myself.
“[Just] found this in the house [I’m] renting.”
Time to purchase some paint and cross your fingers that the landlord won’t notice.
“Oh, so that’s where they went…again.”
One habit that I’m grateful my mother taught me is the habit of always checking pockets before doing laundry.
“I pass this [every] morning and it drives me crazy that the puzzle piece doesn’t work.”
I’m uncertain about their product, but this logo ensures I won’t make a purchase.
“Spot the light switch, took me too long to find.”
Oh, I see now. That explains why light switch covers are typically white or another color with high contrast.
“School computer. Been typing for minutes until realized.”
Fortunately, the keycaps do not affect the keys themselves, so your typing experience should remain unaffected. Hopefully.
“Look what I found after installation.”
Fortunately, he didn’t miss much—a simple installation video. However, this doesn’t justify the poor packaging design.
“Laundry detergent uses 2/3 scoop but has a line for 1/2 scoop.”
A fantastic method to hone your ability to estimate measurements, with no guaranteed way to confirm their accuracy!
“I did not look closely enough at that label.”
During the baking process, I can picture you suddenly catching a whiff of garlic and thinking, “Uh-oh.
“I can picture you halfway through baking, catching a whiff of garlic and just thinking, ‘Uh oh.'”
