We wish, for the general state of things, that people were better at thinking. Since that will never change, all we can really do in lieu of that is laugh at the funnier moments of pure facepalm life has to offer. The sheer number of disappointing moments of facepalm is absolutely daunting.

Almost everyone would rather be relaxing at home than having to do any of this annoying "paying your bills" bullcrap, but as dark as some things can seem on Monday morning, they could certainly be worse. Misfortune Monday lets you see people dealing with the fallout of chaos and failure and serves as a good reminder that maybe things are going alright.
The anonymity of the internet allows a lot of people to pretend to be experts on things, as well as pass massive judgement and throw accusations around like a furious ape tosses fresh hot crap. Here are times that people were sorely mistaken and didn't realize they were talking to someone who knew a hell of a lot more then they did. Sometimes these end decently, like when the writer of Men in Black was told not to mansplain Men in Black.
In a noble move, this guy's pregnant wife wants to name their child after her grandfather. The problem is, that kid's name would end up being John Doe. The internet found that burdening your kid with the name they give to unidentified bodies sounds like a bad idea. Here are some other horrible names people have encountered.
Your can never be too sure what kind of chaos and failure life will bring you. There are insane snowdrifts that bury your car, people driving through concrete, ruined art projects and dogs chewing through doors. Life is an artist and chaos and misfortune are its implements.
Every once in a while the wild Karen will mistake a stranger for an employee and direct their abuse at a fellow customer. while that doesn't sound like much of an improvement, the lack of professional courtesy frees up their target to say whatever they want to back. The extra level of dramatic irony makes stories like these all the sweeter.
Life has its unfair share of unfortunate failures and moments of chaos. Things break, things get stuck, things melt and things explode. Knowing that, you just kinda have to take everything in stride. Wherever you go, chaos and misfortune will follow.
In a world where people are constantly asked to make new things, some of those things are not going to work out exactly as planned. That means we get some design fails that were someone's one job. Sometimes it's an accidentally filthy sign, sometimes it's a toilet that drains to nowhere. There are infinite ways to end up with design failures that don't quite cut it.
Life is a series of attempts. Some are more earnest or desperate than others. Some people are just trying to do their job, or finish a project. Some people are trying to make a good point, or seem cool on the internet. Many of these attempts will fail to work out. Here are those tries that stumbled into a heap of fail.
The ability to post something online faster than you can think about it has given a whole lot of people a chance to reveal their inner stupid. Don't let these make you feel too bad about your fellow humans, we're not this stupid all the time. There are just a lot of daunting moments of disappointing facepalm.
To be clear, the gameplay itself didn't warrant all the dislikes, but a very small design fail gave this game developer a big shock. It should provide at least a little peace of mind to find out that you didn't create something as universally hated as you thought. For some game related humor, here are some gaming memes.
The world is full of dumb spelling fails and at this point it doesn't seem like there's much to do about them other than laugh it off. You can't make adults go back to elementary school, and honestly who'd want them to when we get so many unintentional nonsensical humorous utterances out of it.
It doesn't take much to bum out whole roomful of people. A bad tv connection, a stupid fight, or bad work news can throw an entire room into complete disarray. A lot of these include weird ways people got laid off. For more social job related moments here are some HR nightmare stories.
Magnets, how do they work? All the time, and very powerfully. Here are some very expensive mistakes that resulted in people and things getting magnet-ed all up in there. For some more misfortune, failures, mistakes and messes, here are unfortunate moments of failure and chaos.
It doesn't matter if things are going well, it's just a matter of time until life hits you with unfortunate moments of failure and chaos. It's best to be able to just deal with setbacks as they come and move on from the productively, but that doesn't mean that chaos can derail people's lives for a little while. No matter how hard you try, the spectacular unfortunate moments will never end.
