13 Fun Stories from Internet Users Where Something Went Wrong

Unfortunately, no one is safe from failure. But some situations not only cause frustration, but also a good laugh! Who has never gone out with an inside out outfit, for example? It is this class of funny cases that we will talk about in our post.

One day, I ended up sleeping in class. He heard noises in the dream, but he was still sleeping. At one point, I stretched out, reached for my cat with my hand, and petted him. I woke up with loud laughter: I was stroking the head of the teacher, who was leaning next to me ready to ask me to go to sleep at home, not in class.

One day, my husband told me that when I wasn’t home, he ate almost a kilo of French fries. Everything was OK so far, if it wasn’t for one detail: he filled the potatoes with ketchup and it wasn’t until he was finishing the package that he realized he needed to fry them all before eating them.

These days I went with my little sister to the toys in a park. We found a really cool toboggan run, and we decided to slide on it. My sister was in my arms when I went to slide and got stuck halfway down the toboggan… Childhood is definitely over for me.

My grandmother is a very hardworking and organized person: she works as a teacher in a school, and always leaves home before me for work. Once, I ended up sleeping a lot and lost track of time. But lest my grandmother find out, I should somehow deceive my grandfather. He never enters the living room, so I hid behind the couch. When my grandfather went to the kitchen for lunch, I walked down the hall, without making much noise, put on my school jacket and pretended to be arriving, slamming the door. My grandfather would even believe that I was just arriving, if it weren’t for one detail: I forgot my pants, I only had my uniform jacket and backpack on my back.

I realized that my eyesight is very bad when, one day, walking through the house, I saw my cat at the window. I called him for a long time and nothing. As I approached, he hooted and flew away…

I once overestimated my strength a little and bought a very large watermelon. Naturally, it fell out of my hands right outside my front door, practically collapsing on the floor. Then I realized that there was a homeless man very close by, who was looking at me with pity. Suddenly, he got up and quickly started picking up pieces of watermelon from the ground, saying “Thank you, lady, I was dying of heat”, and went back to where he was sitting.

I went to the dentist and took my 8 year old daughter with me. Before it was my turn to enter, my little one said: “Mom, just don’t scream as much as you do at night when you’re alone with Dad”. I blushed for hours…

When I was still very young, I saw my grandmother on the street and ran to her, screaming “Grandma!!!” About three feet from the woman, I realized she wasn’t my grandmother: she wasn’t even elderly. As I was a very smart kid, I kept screaming and running past the woman. Where I ran there was no one, but I entered a building and pretended my grandmother was inside.

My aunt destroyed her cell phone when she accidentally dropped it in a jam candy. But instead of cleaning it with a towel, she decided to wash it under the tap.

I traveled with my parents to Vietnam. The day we arrived, we went to a coffee shop next to the hotel. We ordered the food, waited, and quickly served small plates of water. We exchanged glances and, without thinking twice, started washing our hands. You needed to see people’s astonished faces. In fact, that “water for hands” was for soaking the rice balls, which we had not yet received.

Once, when I was about 16, I went to visit my grandmother in another city, by bus. My other grandmother accompanied me to the terminal. Next to me was a beautiful boy. After saying goodbye to my grandmother, I began to flirt shamelessly with the young man, and he even asked my name, smiled… He was really interested, and I was happy as hell. But my world came crashing down when, before the bus left, my grandmother got on the bus screaming, “Honey, take this handkerchief, because you had a runny nose!” An awkward silence settled in and I just wanted to disappear… I couldn’t say anything else!

I’m an acrobat, and I often do different numbers with fabrics, those hanging from the circus’ internal structures. This year we are on a tour of Paris! It’s exactly the city I’ve always dreamed of visiting. Today I was standing, looking out the window in a very romantic mood, and involuntarily twisting the curtains with my hands. Then I tried to do a somersault, grabbed the curtains, and fell, curtain, pole and all.

We gave my grandmother a holiday. While she wasn’t there, we decided to do some redecoration and get a bunch of junk and unnecessary stuff out of her house. But to our surprise, instead of being happy, she said, “Where the hell is my couch?” At night the scene was as follows: the whole family with flashlights, looking for the old sofa in the street. Problem is, she had hidden gold jewelry in it! The operation was successful, even if, in order to perform it, we had to wake up and lift a homeless person from the couch who was already sleeping peacefully on it.
