16+ Fails That Made Us Go ‘I’m Not Mad, I’m Just Disappointed’

We all fail at something from time to time... It's just part of being human. Even my good self fails at something from time to time... But we're not here to talk about me! We're here to look at other people!

So, with this idea in mind, here are 16+ fails that made us go, "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed!"

"Open and shut case."

"Why do you think he jumped into it?"

"I think that he may have thought it was his litterbox."

"Oh... So those weren't chocolate chips in it then?"

"Baby number two on the way..."

I think that this is a pretty accurate representation of the disappointment that most people feel when they find out that they'll have a sibling. Their opinions will change though...probably.

"Trying to figure out what this sign means for the past 5 years."

Whatever it is you've been doing, I think you had better just stop everything and play it safe, be it breathing or speeding!

"Suck it, Belzie!"

"So, what do you think, Doc? Am I going to be alright?"

"Well, let me just say this... If you haven't gotten around to reading Ulysses, I really wouldn't start now."

"Wow, thanks."

"Newly wedded in front of their burning car."

I don't normally put much stock into "omens," but this is very clearly an incredibly bad sign!

"[Every day] I am thankful to live in the land of the because of the brave USA free."

These shirts are a great way to deter muggers, as the mugger will take so long trying to work out what it says that you will be able to punch them in the face. Perfect defense mechanism.

"Rethinking life in a picture."

That kid knows that he is in so much trouble and just looks like he is trying to figure out a good excuse before calling his parents. And, my friend, that is an excuse that will never come.

"This disappointed cat really brightens my day."

If this is the best picture of a cat having just eaten their cat food that they could get, then my hopes aren't high for that cat food!

"I married someone who does this..."

This is the sort of thing that you need to know about someone before you marry them! Because, dear God, this is unforgivable behavior.

"I guess plumbing isn't for everyone."

Maybe the plumber who installed this just really likes one and a half inches of water in their shower. It's a weird thing to love but there are all sorts of weirdos out there.

"The most disappointing watermelon. Ever."

This is quite a good representation of life. You think there is going to be something great and sweet inside, but most of it is pointless and horrible.

"'Basketball' court in Brno."

As far as basketball terrain goes, pebbles aren't necessarily the best. I don't know why anyone ever uses this as a terrain though. There are no situations where this is nice to walk on or efficient in any way.

"No explanation needed..."

Someone quite accurately pointed out that, at this point, they may as well have launched their second shoe to try and knock some of this back down, as they're already in too deep.

"My wife said measure the door, I told her all doors are the same size..."

If the person who put this door in is anything like me, then there will have been a good few days where they thought, "Sure, it's not too bad, is it?" My laziness knows no bounds.

"Please leave Jabba The Toad alone!"

This furious little guy looks like an angry Toad of Toad Hall after his stock fell through and he was forced onto the streets.

The Ultimate Letdown...

This person heartbreakingly wrote, "My sister was supposed to come over this weekend and drink hot cocoa with me, but she decided to spend it with her friends instead. I sent her this to express my disappointment."

"Growing up sucks!"

I love that he is still trying to recapture something of his youth despite feeling the drag of time. This is like a 40-year-old buying a motorbike.

"I found a horribly fun way to disappoint my kids in the morning!"

"Ha! Got you again, kids! You thought I was going to do something nice for you this morning!"

"We want to go and live with Grandma."

"Yep, got you again, you little fools!"

"Bought an iPod on eBay a while ago. Poor Joe."

Look, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but just because you're engraving something on an iPod doesn't mean that punctuation goes out of the window! And that arsiness is probably why no one has ever given me one of these things.

"Threw my swatter at a fly. Don't ask questions because I don't have answers."

I can just imagine the fly sitting atop this tool of destruction and laughing at the person who threw it like a triumphant warrior lording over a conquered land.
