35 Pictures of People Who Had 1 Job and Managed to Get It Completely Wrong

Life runs on the fragile hope that other people are at least mildly competent. We trust the barista to know coffee goes in the cup and not on the floor. We assume the road painter won't forget how letters work halfway through STOP. We put faith in the idea that someone, somewhere, is paying attention. That faith is routinely misplaced.  

The truth is most jobs are boring, repetitive, and slowly dissolve your will to live. A Sisyphus-type situation. Maybe it's no surprise that people mess up. Sometimes it's an innocent mistake, like hitting the wrong stencil. Other times it feels more like quiet rebellion, the human spirit pushing back against another beige day on the assembly line. Either way, the result is the kind of failure that's way more fun to look at than success.
