45 Times People Were Way Off

Sometimes things don't pan out how you imagine them in your head, whether it be how you thought it would be a good idea to get your mother an iPad, or how well you thought you could cut a horse's hair!

And, with this idea in mind, please enjoy these 14+ times that people were way off!

"My mom photocopies recipes off of her iPad."

Reddit | devillius

I mean, aside from this being an amazingly bizarre thing to do. What the hell is this recipe for? Fat Flush Water, what the hell is that all about?

"Asked my mom if she could get a photo of me mid-air jumping off a sand dune. She said she could. These are the pics she got."

Reddit | emzieees

Wow, and it's not even like she happened to get a good one either side of the jump either! I like how on the left it looks she is saying, "You've definitely got this, right?"

"Not sure these adverts are quite hitting their target audience..."

Reddit | JokeMonster

Can you imagine coming out of the toilet and going, "I was just having a piss in there and I saw something that reminded me that I had something to ask you..."

Qcomebur For Sale

Reddit | 5_Frog_Margin

Well, at least they got peas right? Actually, can we make this guy's spellings the new standard? They're much more fun!

"My dog dug up a section of the lawn so I fixed it and then roped it off. Went outside and found her like this."

Reddit | TomNJ

Yep, what you have created there is a VIP area for your dog. All you are now is a glorified bouncer for your dog's private booth.

"No, not quite..."

Reddit | No, not quite

One genius person had the idea, "I suddenly envision an entire clothing line called, 'Stupid'. Historical figures, landmasses, dates and events... all improperly identified with confidence."

"My Cousin dropped her daughter off at summer camp a few days ago. This is the first letter she sent home."

Reddit | ForeverClumsy

I never assumed that parents sent kids to camp as they think the kids will like it... They just do it to have some free time, don't they?

"Easy mistake to make..."

Reddit | tomthumb1979

Jesus, what sort of burritos has the person who called this tip in been eating? Someone should probably look into them.

"The decoy laptop is working."

Reddit | pixelomo

One person rightly pointed out that what is really amazing here is that this person thinks they bought themselves a decoy laptop...when what they really bought was a very expensive bed for their cat! Who's really in charge here?

"Dad called me to say he's in trouble at the barn for cutting a horses hair and everyone's pissed off. I felt bad for him until I got this picture."

Reddit | btssmgss32412

All I can hear when I look at this horse now is a guffawing laugh, the sort that they would do on Dumb and Dumber. Horse are such graceful beasts.

"My uncles made a mistake installing a new rain gutter..."

Reddit | bobward

I guess that their only choice is to just leave it up, and then they'll always have easy access to the gutters at least?

"They're Not Quite As SMART As They Think They Are."

Reddit | IsItBrokenOrWhat

Why wouldn't they include the chance to win a movie ticket in the supposed acronym? They were clearly struggling for things to say after all.

"My three year old bit the tip off of a 'baby carrot.' On the upside, he is well hydrated now."

Reddit | HomegrownTomato

I remember my dad telling me that a lemon was just the same as an orange when I was a kid, which led me to bite right into one. And I wonder why I have trust issues.

"The kids were disappointed, but the wife and I laughed all the way back to our hotel room."

Reddit | konahopper

I mean, I sincerely hope that they are way off... Otherwise, I wouldn't be getting in that pool ever again!

"The Draco sticker fell off my magnet."

Reddit | jacksliverpains

This really changes the tone of the magnet. Can't say I'd be very keen to whack that on my fridge!

"Seriously, though- why did it take a global pandemic to install anti-peek dividers in restrooms?"

Reddit | NickW31

These should have been standard from day one. I genuinely don't know why some places don't have them?

"My receipt was quite dramatic..."

Reddit | Dinosaur_willy

"Excuse me, this says 'STELLLLAAAAHH' on my receipt?"

"Ah, yes, just a little joke about Stella Artois and A Streetcar Named Desire!"

"Yes, I get it, but I ordered a Budweiser."

"My 7yo son was excited to show off his clay pirate boat."

Reddit | TheDiscordium

Oh...dear. Apparently, this person is holding on to this so that they can use it to embarrass their son later in life!

"They almost had me."

Reddit | Grex532

Also, if you get a job at the Black Hound, you can probably get away with stealing the odd pint now and again, so that's sort of like free beer?

"When I was younger I liked pulling the heads off my sister's Barbie dolls and drawing a face on the stump underneath."

Reddit | TheWoy

The goofy little wave absolutely makes this picture. As far as acts of sibling rivalry go, this one is pretty funny!

"Remodelling the kitchen and pulled the microwave off the wall. He never gave up hope."

Reddit | RodentofNormalSize

"I knew you'd come back for me, Master!"

"Well...actually, I'm just doing a bit of work on the..."

"Hooray, saved at last!"

"Thanks for warning me, I almost made a huge mistake."

Reddit | Cynepkokc

But...why ever not? Now that you're telling me I can't, there's something oddly appealing about this water!

"When your girl dumps you and you play it off real smooth."

Reddit | MustardTiger99

Ah, this is so wonderfully tasteful... Oh, wait no, the other thing, hideous. I'm sure they're super pleased with it.

"Almost The Same!"

Reddit | Xenophorm12

Firstly, there would be no way I would be putting my face that close to a bird with such a big beak! Secondly, I much prefer the one on the right anyway!

"Wife left the gloves to dry, I almost had a heart attack."

Reddit | RoninGR

"Ah, yes, have you perchance brought me more human parts to continue my transformation into a person?"

"No... Just want to do my washing if that's alright?"

"Roomba fell in my House last night. It somehow wrapped up its sensors in TP and headed off the edge."

Reddit | Envoy_to_the_Stars

"Oh, Roomba, what on earth have you done to yourself?"

"Please...kill...Roomba. Roomba hate self."

"I have been waiting for this to happen for almost 24 years... Today, it finally happened!"

Reddit | kamehamehameow

When it comes to something like this, it doesn't matter how small the distance that you miscalculated is!

"The Hardware store is getting dramatic."

Reddit | paddIofurniture

I feel like every time you enter the aisle of life & death there should be horror sound effects in the background, like thunder cracking, ominous laughter, or creaking doors.

"I'm nearing 40. My mom knitted this for me for Christmas."

Reddit | ainsma

And? Is there something wrong with it? Chunky knits are in, and that color really brings out your eyes. You should thank her.

"My cat watches out this window every day. Waiting for something interesting to happen outside."

Reddit | babtras

You know that theory that animals can see ghosts? Can you understand why I find this is actually terrifying?

"Almost ruined my life this morning."

Reddit | Beaverrbwon55

You really did. Can you imagine putting cinnamon on your cereal? The thought alone is making me gag.

"My 3-year-old son, nailing hide and seek."

Reddit | ButtRobot

If his head were any smaller, this would genuinely be an amazing spot. But, curse bone growth and development, his skull stopped him from winning.

"Asked my mother in law for eye drops. Nearly put this in my eyes."

Reddit | Flashbang1985

This is one of those "accidents" that just doesn't add up. I'd start bringing your own eye drops, just to be safe.

"At over 100 lbs and almost 12 years old my yellow lab still thinks he's a lap dog. This is how I opened presents Christmas morning."

Reddit | m3Zephyr

I better not see anyone try to tell this dog that he isn't a lapdog. Every dog is a puppy for their whole life.

"Nice try USA."

Reddit | Johnnyok

This feels like an unmasking scene from Scooby-Doo. "I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling construction workers!"

"Walked in on the SO sleeping. I’m not sure she’s human."

Reddit | ElrianWalker

The guesses in the comments for what she actually was ranged from cat to slinky, but my favorite has to be "possessed by a demon."

"At the checkout. Wife still has not noticed."

Reddit | lardman1

Between the amount of junk food and the Lego set, I'm not entirely unconvinced this man has no wife and is actually eight years old.

"Neighborhood kids almost fooled me this time."

Reddit | pythonspam

Oh my god, a stop sign that also says go? What am I supposed to do, the laws of the road have been disgraced and thrown away, all because of this genius prank!

"It's October 18. You can tell Halloween is coming up."

Reddit | RockLeePower

I'm biased, but it shocks me every year that there are people who love Christmas enough that they purposely ignore Halloween to get to it. Halloween! The best holiday!

"Hidden so well I almost missed it."

Reddit | Skarykidd

So let's walk through this. Two packages, one big, one small. Rather than putting the small one that would fit there under the mat, or even putting both under the mat for fun, they only put the big one under and then set the small one on top. Nope, still don't get it.

"Captured a great father daughter picture."

Reddit | tonytal

Not sure why people are against photobombs like this. They just make you look great in comparison.

"Reached for a Pepsi, almost lost me a finger."

Reddit | vamosj

To have a Pepsi you must earn it by defeating our champion, Whiskers, in hand to hand combat.

"Spent 45 minutes looking for the Kindle I JUST had in my hands. Chewie was no help."

Reddit | CleverName8888

I mean, they say that the cat was no help, but it looks like they're pointing right at it! You need to listen to your cat more.

"I'm not sure my roommate knows what a fridge is for."

Reddit | Wukeywukey

Listen, the new place doesn't have air conditioning, and that Ajax dish soap will start complaining about the heat if it doesn't stay cool.

You Get Marks For Effort!

Reddit | WineyAnne

Frankly, if you're ordering not one, not two, but three Hawaiian pizzas, then you deserve this kind of shoddiness. Pineapple shouldn't be on pizza, folks!
