Recently, I learned something about Murphy’s Law. The adage “whatever can go wrong, will go wrong” doesn’t mean whatever can go wrong will always go wrong.
Rather, if something is 99% effective, 1% of the time, there’s a real chance it will fail. And if you run an experiment enough times, there’s a guarantee something will go wrong, eventually.
The people in these photos, however, prove that stuff goes wrong way more often than necessary. Frankly, human error causes a lot of issues.
Luckily, these rough moments didn’t happen to us, so we can laugh about it. Whenever someone asks “what could go wrong” and then instantly regrets their decisions, Reddit is there to capture the moment.
The subreddit r/whatcouldgowrong shares images of exactly what went wrong and they are hilarious. Let’s gather around the old screens and thank God we weren’t any of the people who messed up this bad.
Here are the funniest photos of moments people asked “what could go wrong” and then found out:
