29 Funny Pictures Of Mistakes People Made That Look Upsettingly Expensive

Ooh, that looks expensive.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately, these photos of accidents are also worth thousands of dollars in repairs. Why is it funny to laugh at the misfortunes of others? Frankly, I have no idea.

But, Reddit is on top of delivering pictures of people truly having a rough day. The contributors to r/ThatLookedExpensive are sharing the saddest and funniest moments caught on camera.

I had a rough week. It was 98 degrees in NYC, and everyone in the city got an alert saying there might be a blackout if we didn’t all turn off our air conditioners. Sadly, the blackout didn’t arrive. So, I spent two days changing my shirt every 20 minutes for no reason! I guess it could always be worse. That’s what looking at the following funny but unfortunate pictures helped me realize.

Here are the best and funniest photos of accidents so bad you just have to laugh:
