We all make mistakes from time to time and do things we regret, but sometimes a situation spirals so out of control that you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Our article is about those moments when people make blunders like never before. Just take a look!

– My colleague has a habit of leaving his things in the strangest places. One day, he put his wallet and phone in the microwave, set it for 5 minutes, and then went into my office. We were talking, and I asked him why he was holding a food container. He rushed to the microwave, but it was too late—his wallet and phone were beyond saving. (Source: sarin77 / Reddit)

– I wanted to try on a shirt at the mall. I picked one out, but it was too small. I left the fitting room and asked a sales assistant for a larger size. She gave me a strange look but brought it anyway. I put it on, and it was still too small! That’s when I noticed the store’s posters featuring kids. Turns out I was trying on clothes in the children’s department! It was super embarrassing, and I quickly ran out of there. (Source: Going_Braindead / Reddit)

– I needed to transport a mattress, so I tied it to the roof of my car through the open windows. I made sure to tie it with double knots to keep it from falling off, then went to get in the car—only to realize that I had tightly tied the car doors shut. (Source: jimmyjazz2000 / Reddit)

– I grabbed my husband’s phone to call my mother-in-law urgently and was shocked to see a bunch of calls from someone labeled “My Beloved.” My heart dropped, and I started replaying every happy moment we had together… Could it have all been a lie? The number was unfamiliar. I started freaking out, pacing back and forth, and finally decided to call the number. But just then, my own phone rang and snapped me back to reality. It was my new second SIM card. My husband had labeled me that way because I’d once complained about being saved as “Wife 2.” (Source: NTonks / Pikabu)

– My ex pulled a real stunt once. I came back from the beach, and she started telling me how the neighbors upstairs flooded the whole plumbing system by accidentally drilling into the heating pipe with a power drill. They also cut the power to the whole building, so she couldn’t even heat up food in the microwave for a couple of days. You should’ve seen her face when I told her that a gas stove doesn’t need electricity to work. (Source: eumicrotremus / Pikabu)

– A relative of mine was arguing passionately that since my sister is a vegetarian, she can’t eat animal-shaped crackers. (Source: MissGrafin / Reddit)

– A friend was running cable across his apartment and drilling through the wall with a huge drill, when the entire drill bit suddenly disappeared inside the wall. He started kicking the front door in frustration when a furious neighbor opened it. The neighbor shouted, “Why did you drill through my closet in the bedroom?” And to top it off, the drill bit had somehow gotten tangled up with his underwear and socks. (Source: NordSat / Pikabu)

– When I went to pick up my passport, the clerk said, “Please sign here.” I zoned out for a second and ended up signing for the passport office employee instead of signing as myself. Now I have a passport that I technically created and received myself. (Source: loki117 / Pikabu)

– I lived on the 16th floor. One day, neighbors—an elderly lady and her son—came by complaining that we were stomping around and disturbing their sleep. I asked, “Who are you?” They said, “We’re from the 14th floor.” I suggested they talk to the people on the 15th floor. They responded, “We already did, and they said it’s you making the noise, and it travels down to the 14th.” That’s when I realized that the people on the 15th floor weren’t exactly the sharpest, and the folks on the 14th were, to put it mildly, a bit clueless.

– A coworker brought a cake to work. After we had some, I asked, “What’s the occasion?” She extended her hand with brightly manicured nails and said, “This.” I thought, “Wow, people are celebrating a new manicure with cakes now?” So I sarcastically said, “Yeah, that’s a pretty big occasion.” Then she switched to talking to someone else, and I realized she was showing off her wedding ring, not her manicure. It was awkward, but my comment almost worked in the conversation. (Source: nweb / Pikabu)

– One day, my son and I went to a café. He spotted the coffee machine and wanted to try it out. I’m from a small town, and I’ve never used one of those machines before. But my love for experimentation often leads me to make rash decisions. For example, I decided to press the “latte” button without reading the instructions. I just put a cup under the dispenser and pressed it. Out came some brownish liquid. “Looks like a latte,” I thought and handed the cup to my son, saying, “Look, your mom is so advanced, she figured this out right away.”
We had already walked away from the machine when we heard a hissing noise. We turned around, and white foam was pouring out of the coffee machine. Looking around quickly to make sure no one was watching, I rushed back to the machine. I put my hands under the spout, but the foam just kept coming, spilling over the sides and starting to drip onto the counter. My son stood there, puzzled. “Let’s go, quickly,” I whispered, and we ran out of there. (Source: novikovalegal / Pikabu)

– One time, after a very long workday, I was getting ready to head to the cabin, packing my things while relatives kept calling: “Don’t forget this, don’t forget that.” When the bags were all packed, I couldn’t find one of my shoes. I searched the entire apartment for about an hour, then gave up and decided to grab a snack. I opened the fridge, and there it was—my shoe, sitting right there on the shelf.

– A coworker was complaining: “Electronic bathroom scales are so unreliable! They only last about 8 or 9 months, then the display stops working, and you have to buy a new one.” I said, “Did you try changing the battery?” She looked at me, puzzled. “Is there a battery in them?” (Source: Kemo.Sabe / Pikabu)
