13+ Times We Said ‘Too Little Too Late’

Robert Burns once wrote, The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men, Gang aft agley (often go awry). I think that means that sometimes we all fail, despite our best intentions. If listicles existed in Steinbeck's time, this would be the stuff he was talking about.

You've gotta break some eggs to make an omelet.

Reddit | yourmate24

This is what it looks like when someone fails to properly secure the eggs before they're delivered. This truck took a turn or went over a bump or whatever, and more than 10,000 eggs were broken.

No, that isn't a screensaver.

The guy who posted this says he ignored his girlfriend's texts after a tough shift at work, so she did this. It's definitely an overreaction on her part, but he also could have texted her back.

Bugged out.

The woman on this ID looks a little unhinged, but it isn't her fault. The DMV employee apparently didn't tell her which camera she was supposed to look into.

Press F to pay respects.

This adorable looking doggo probably didn't seem so adorable to its owner after it ripped up a $300 pair of headphones. Oh well, the headphones may have been $300, but the dog is priceless, right?

Gloves vs. washing machine.

Reddit | gene100001

What was once a perfectly good pair of leather gloves has been transformed into an ugly, gnarled up mess after going one round with a washing machine.

The scenic route.

Reddit | YungFerg

Flooding has closed the direct route between these two locations in Australia. Even the "short" trek would have been about 12 hours, proving just how massive Australia truly is.

The building wanted to stay locked.

Reddit | alec7717

Have you ever been given the keys to your workplace, tasked with opening it in the morning? Have you ever wondered what would happen if the lock broke? That's the situation this person is in.

Stuck in the middle with you.

Reddit | cool_minecraft_hax0r

The signs make it very clear that you're supposed to stop, and not turn left or right. The only option is to go straight. Until that dumpster moves, this driver is out of options.

The Leaning Tower of Dallas.

Reddit | Bootray181

After a planned demolition, this building in Dallas decided it wanted to stay upright (somewhat). This is going to be a touchy subject for the next demolition crew.

It's part of the apartment now.

Reddit | AltF0

Everyone's run into a situation like this while moving before. I can't believe that the owner just gave up. Just dent and scratch a few walls and that sofa will be free in no time.

Close enough.

It's a nice feeling to know that you've got your shoe styles locked in, with every pair feeling as comfy as the last. The problem is that sometimes you might have to get ready in the dark.

Give 'em a swipe.

Reddit | FirstRangerSkyWalker

This guy's cat dragged his wallet onto a heater. After some time, all of his cards — credit, debit, and ID — looked like this. Let's hope he's got Google Pay on his phone or something.

It says right on the envelope...

Reddit | TheHarkules

I'm sure it's a hassle for letter carriers to deliver stuff that doesn't quite fit into a standard mailbox, but surely there's some middle ground other than this.

Snowroof.

Reddit | avigyan_33

If you live somewhere cold, you know that sunroofs are only really a viable thing for a few months out of the year. If you operate one in January, this can happen.

A split second before chaos.

Reddit | DizzyDrunkDude

This kid is about to find out why a harmless game of street soccer and an old men's game of backgammon are not a good combination.

Lasting memories.

Reddit | OddSmellingJuice

This person got stung by a jellyfish while on vacation. A year later, the itchy scars are still apparent. As someone who once stepped on a big sea urchin in Mexico, I can definitely empathize.

Do you like a challenge?

Reddit | Shiby92

Headphones are prone to all sorts of tangles, some of them quite severe. But after seeing what a Roomba did to this pair of earbuds, I'm honestly just impressed.

A picture says a thousand words.

Everything was going well for this skier until everything suddenly stopped going well. I like how obvious it is that after getting up, they took off the skis and walked back to the chalet.

Money well spent. For about a week.

Reddit | yhandi

This person's dog did not care that they spent a month saving up for the new Nintendo Switch gaming system. As soon as that doggo saw the remote control, all bets were off.

Yeast be funny like that.

Reddit | TELME3

So here's the thing: even if you throw out dough, the yeast doesn't stop working. So what you're going to end up with a dumpster full of his nonsense.

This parking officer wasn't feeling particularly sympathetic I guess.

Reddit | hyphum

Despite leaving a lengthy explanation to explain why their car was where it was, these owners still got a ticket.

Think you guys have a bit of a leak there.

Reddit | moreowhuan

I don't know what else to say about this one, except water leaks are absolutely terrifying and I truly hope I never wake up to this kind of a sight in my own home.

Well... they were almost lighthouses.

Reddit | akashdas

Baking shaped cookies is always a gamble. 9/10 times, you're not going end up with the shape you want.

And then you have to serve these phallic beauties to all your friends at the lighthouse society. I'm assuming that's where the cookies were destined to end up. Why else make lighthouse-shaped desserts?

Not exactly thief-proof.

Reddit | HideyDoe

So the plus side here is the bike is still in tact. Could be worse, right?

Right?

Time to make a Sephora run.

Reddit | allergies____

In case this sight didn't hurt you enough, apparently those makeup brushes had just all been freshly washed. And because cats are demons of chaos, this particular kitty decided to kick all those nice, clean, fluffy sticks into its toilet box.

Why? Why not?

Not exactly a scenic trip.

Reddit | Fsf89

This woman actually traded her own seat in order to score the... uh... supposed window seat.

Jonah's about to be super disappointed.

Reddit | im_wabbit_hunting

Somehow this particular photographer managed to capture the actor in a moment of blissful ignorance, right before his entire day got ruined.

But in this particular frame, where he's frozen in time, his coffee beverage is still safely in its cup and all is well in the world.

Wondering what it is that has this girl so shocked in her photos?

Reddit | apocalypsemeow

Well, as the Redditor explained, "When your friends coke baggie is stuck to her phone as she takes your picture with your parents."

Yikes.

Watch your step.

Reddit | FernandoBruun

Dropping the trash is terrible enough. Spilling it down a flight of stairs? Awful. Just awful.

Enjoy cleaning all that up, friend.

Dinner's going to be a little late tonight.

Reddit | TwistedSkirt

The best part about this heartbreaking photo is its caption: "Just six hungry people waiting on a casserole at 8:00pm."

I felt that person's pain in my damn soul.

There it is!

Reddit | dragonboy2734

Have you ever lost your wallet? It's a big hassle to cancel your cards and wait for new ones. Well, this person went through that whole thing. Then, a few days later, they found their original wallet...

Wine's about to become whine.

Reddit | catnip4sale

The person who posted this perfectly-timed pic notes that it was taken about half a second before she realized her aim was off. At least in this one moment, she was serene and contented.
