From AirPods in sweet and sour sauce to a spider in a coffee mug.
The subreddit is dedicated to all kinds of failures and unfortunate situations in which users find themselves. The stories are often accompanied by photos. The life hacker has selected several striking examples.
1 … If the author was looking for a sign that it was time for him to give up coffee in the morning, perhaps it was he.
2 … It seems that the car does not want to go anywhere today.
3 … Cars in general are often the cause of problems. For example, the steering wheel was stolen from this author. Yes, it happens.
4 … A bottle of sweet and sour sauce burst in the bag. Fries can now be dipped in AirPods.
5 … “I was about to go to work, but I heard the sounds of gunshots. I decided to wait a bit, and then I went out and saw it. It’s good that I wasn’t in the car.”
6 … “My son decided to swallow a coin. So 50 cents became $ 4,400."
7 … “It's wonderful to know that your colleagues don't know how to close boxes - especially when you’re about to leave work.”
8 … "I got … an advertisement in the fortune cookie." Hardly anyone counted on such a sign of fate.
9 … It was a whole jar of pickled garlic. I wonder how long the whole refrigerator will smell like it.
10 … "Someone strapped their bike to mine."
11 … "I dropped the powerbank, and he literally hit the jackpot - goodbye, beloved piggy bank that has been with me for 15 years."
12 … The author walked about 50 km through the mountains in a mesh baseball cap - and now he feels like Avatar Aang.
13 … The only thing worse than such a find is that its owner is nowhere to be seen. Someone will be very sensitive to sleep, or not at all.
14 … “The mother-in-law decided to please us and started the dishwasher before leaving. But I used regular dishwashing liquid."
15 … Looks like a nail pick is needed here.
16 … "I got home from work, took my laptop … and dropped it." But this is an expensive Alienware.
17 … "This is how I found out that cleaning a laptop screen with glass cleaner is not a good idea." By the way, there is a special instruction on this matter.
18 … “I took the dog to the vet. When we stopped and I took off the harness, she loaded her paw directly into a closed glass of coffee."
19 … “I bought a bra online. He came with an unusual accessory."
20 … “I just had to apply the last coat of paint when I accidentally knocked over the can. Now everything is in black drops - including the helmet."
