We're all prone to moments of utter failure where we're left feeling just about as clueless as the very moment we came into this strange and disorienting world. It's good to be humbled by our own dumbness every now and again though. Keeps the fragile ego in check. Maybe these people's own hilarious moments where they failed at everyday tasks will serve to make you feel a bit better about your own blunders that still haunt you at night when you're just trying to catch a restful night's sleep.

    Font - [deleted] • 10y My wife has reading glasses and usually has a string that connects the back so that she can take them on and off and just hang them from her neck. One time she was using glasses without the string, and so when she wanted to take them off, she just dropped them from off of her face and they crashed to the ground. I've unwrapped a slice a cheese and then threw the cheese instead of the plastic into the garbage can. 4 184
