Trending

Sometimes, the only way to learn a lesson is the hard way. These funny photos capture the moment people realize they’ll never make the same mistake twice…

Oops!

And we thought driving was stressful enough as is! One needs to remain quick and alert while driving to avoid smashing into other cars. However, no one told us, or this woman, about looking out for fresh concrete! As a result, she drove wheels first into a wet pile of cement. Though it doesn’t look like it’s entirely her fault: we can’t see a caution sign or cone anywhere!

Still, in all honesty, it’s hard to tell if this woman is shocked by the accident or just yawning because she’s tired. Maybe that’s how the accident happened in the first place! That’s certainly one way to learn never to drive while sleepy. What a crappy day!

Interior Paint Job

We would love to know the back story behind what happened here. Perhaps someone decided to check their paint order in the car…while driving? However it happened, all we know is that this unlucky car owner will not be able to return or exchange this paint for a different color. They’re stuck with it! That’s a hard way to learn the lesson of keeping paint closed in the car. That goes for any liquid, really!

Of course, this could have also been a revenge tactic. There would be little worse than coming out of the house to see this paint inside your car on a hot day. If that’s the case, someone’s looking at a severe fine, possibly even jail time!

Zero Waste Coffee

In case you didn’t know, zero waste culture has become all the rage these days. The movement is actually quite inspiring: ordinary people trying their best to use less and save the planet. While it’s mostly a good thing, some people take zero waste a little too far. For example, this zero waster decided to reuse their boiling pasta water as the water for their morning coffee! “Day one of my zero waste journey! used my pasta water from breakfast to make my coffee,” said the Twitter user. Boy, are they in for a nasty lesson…

This person is about to learn the hard way that pasta water does not make excellent coffee water. But, rest assured, they’ll never make that mistake again. And, hey, who knows, maybe they’ll make some delicious, new, garlic coffee that goes great with dinner!

One Minute Alone…

We understand, the coronavirus pandemic has been hard on everyone, especially working parents. Those that could transfer to work-from-home needed to also balance that with taking care of their now homebound children. And, as any parent can tell you, it only takes one minute for children to get into something they’re not supposed to. The father of these toddlers turned away for just a couple of seconds and, well, you can figure out the rest.

Return to see his children covered in flour, the father in question nearly gave up. “Am I the father, is the father me, the father is me?” he jokingly asked the internet when posting the pictures. “I am tired.”

Oil Is Oil, Right?

Any experienced driver can tell you about the importance of good soil in a car’s engine. When replaced at the right frequency, oil is one of the critical components to keeping a vehicle running for a long time. In case you didn’t know, oil lubricates the engine better, saving the owner money on future repairs. Of course, car oil is vastly different from food oil. Sadly, this woman will soon learn this lesson the hard way…

But there’s something even worse at foot here! Her friend, family member, or possibly even partner have decided not to intervene. Instead, they’ve elected to simply snap a photo for all the internet to set! Sooner, much rather than later, she’ll realize her folly. Hopefully, the mechanics can fix it afterward…

Right Through The Cracks

There’s one essential rule for photo posing near water: leave your cell phone in a safe location. Instead, this young model had to learn her lesson the hard way. Righ as she began posing for her photographer on a peaceful deck, the inevitable happened: her phone fell out. And it didn’t just fall out anywhere. No, it went straight through the cracks of the dock!

Sadly, no miracle dolphin or attractive merman came up and returned the young lady’s phone to her. Instead, she lost everything: her contacts, messages, photos, everything. Next time, remember – no matter how great you look in pictures, it won’t matter if you don’t have a phone to upload them with!

Goodbye Cruel World

What would you do if your microwave broke down? Probably get a new one. However, according to this young man, it means it’s time to begin a slow death by starvation. Sadly, he must now face up to his mistake. After pulling off the handle in hunger, he must go without Hot Pockets, pizza rolls, microwave ramen, and so many other college staples.

Of course, after posting his mistake online, users felt the need to make fun of the starving student. One commenter recommended that he try turning it on and turning it off again. Meanwhile, another told him to put the whole thing in rice overnight, as you would a phone. We just hope this caused him to consider a change in diet!

Tricking The Dog

This is what happens when you try and swap a dog’s food out for a lower-calorie food. One dog owner thought they could sneak a low-calorie food into his dog’s usual fare, to help him lose weight. Instead, the little pup simply ate around the other kibble. And they are not too happy about having to do so!

Of course, we understand entirely what this adorable puppy is going through. Have you ever tried to swap out Coke with Diet Coke or, even worse, La Croix? It’s just terrible! But, sometimes you have to do it for your health, little doggo! We hope they eventually fell in love with their new food.

Not A Good Idea

So many lessons learned in a single photo! First thing’s first: this is not proper cat-bathing technique. In fact, most of the time, you actually don’t need to wash your cat at all. They do it themselves! If they do look dirty or the like, take them to a professional. If you must do it at home, follow an online video. Finally, if you can, also raise your kittens not to fear the water. That way, you don’t need to worry about them in the future!

While this owner certainly looks like he’s in a lot of pain, what did he think would happen? He probably doesn’t trim the cat’s claws properly, either!

That’s Meant For Kids!

As kids, there was nothing better than sliding in between the bars of a playground or making your way into some other hard-to-reach place. Unfortunately, this man had to learn the hard way that it’s sometimes better to leave childhood pastimes to the kids. When he tried to recreate his youthful fun, this dad found himself stuck in the playground!

We would love to know how he ended up there in the first place – it seems as though the top’s the only way! Still, one must applaud his dedication to climbing all the way to the bottom once inside. Who knows? Maybe he’s still there to this day!

One Trusting Officer

Every day, all around the world, many people put their trust in horses. For those that grow up riding or taking care of horses, they can actually become part of the family! After all, with their housing costs, horse care can cost nearly as much as a child! However, even the best-trained horses sometimes miss the mark, as this man is about to find out.

In retrospect, it was probably a bad idea to have the military officer facing away from the oncoming horse. While he might only have a simple headache now, things will soon hurt much, much worse. Thankfully, both the officer and the horses ended up fine in the end!

A Strange Recipe

One moment, the woman who snapped this photo was preparing her favorite meal, rice and vegetables. She turned her back for one moment to grab something from the fridge. However, turning back around a minute later and her cat was in the rice and veggies. Sadly, the cat did not know it was rice…

Lesson Learned Hard Way

TheLoxFox/Reddit

“Turned my back for a minute and she peed in 20 cups of uncooked rice…” the cat owner captioned the photo. The meal was utterly ruined, to say the least. Next time, she might need to lock Whiskers away in another room as she makes rice. It just looks too much like kitty litter!
