Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one actually doing my job. And I don't mean doing it well—I mean just taking a moment to assess what I'm doing before I blindly plow ahead. What gets me isn't that people mess up (we all do), but the fact that no one seems to stop and think, "Hey, maybe I should double-check this." Like, how do you paint "SOTP" on the road and just walk away? Or slap a "Do Not Enter" sign next to an "Enter Only" sign on the same door without so much as a second glance?

These 43 job fails are proof that sometimes, the bare minimum is just too much to ask. Whether it's laziness, carelessness, or just a complete lack of giving a single thought, these fails will leave you laughing, cringing, and maybe feeling just a little better about your own workday.
