20 Times Our Errors Didn't Reveal Themselves Until It Was Too Late

There really is nothing quite like that feeling of stepping back after you have finished something only for one little, or very obvious, mistake to leap out at you. It is that very feeling which keeps many of us alive!

To show that you are not alone in having done this, please enjoy these 20 times our errors didn't reveal themselves until it was too late!

"Just got my bathroom remodelled. Thanks guys!"

It took me a while to realise what was wrong with this. However, once I had noticed this, I would never be able to see anything else when I looked at these tiles!

"When your security gate is a ladder."

"Dave, I asked for a security gate, not a damn ladder! How did this happen?"

"A what?"

"A ladder, do you not know what a ladder is?!"

"Steve, what the hell are you talking about?!"

"True art cannot be contained."

I do not know what else they could really have done, although maybe they could have just put the horn in the box and then attached it when it was time to take the cake out of the box?

"A majestic tiger! Albeit with some anatomical difficulties..."

I would absolutely be buying that for a relative who I didn't like. It's only $1! Also, you could just tell them you painted it yourself so that they felt obligated to hang it up!

This Is A Pretty Crucial Flaw!

The stunned person who posted this explained:

"A blind person stopped me and asked for help crossing the road, the curb ramps in our city made no sense to her. After crossing with me she understood & explained: the ramps and tactile paving lead unsighted pedestrians directly into the intersection instead of into crosswalks."

"Almost drank from this bottle of WOOD POLISH disguised as a water bottle."

They were very nice to put a little red skull and crossbones on the side of the bottle. It could have maybe been a tad larger though — you know, so that no one dies.

We're Here To Help!

The story behind this picture was: "Some non-municipal company started digging up me and my neighbours' lawn with no disclosure to put some internet service in, broke all the sprinkler systems..." How amazingly helpful of them!

"The placement of this urinal in my high school..."

No one wants an audience while they are using the bathroom. Well, I am sure that there are some people out there who do, but that is a whole different kettle of fish.

"How many years bad luck for breaking my boss's hundred year old mirror… In a haunted pub… On Halloween..?

They really nailed the bingo card for bad luck here! It could only have been worse if they had also been stood under a ladder at the same time.

"Husband tried to apologize for some stuff by making me a candlelit bath. The glass container was a little too spicy for the plastic bathtub."

Someone who had been through something similar added, "My wife put a candle on the mantle once, just under our mounted TV. We didn't even notice until it was too late and now a 2 inch sized corner of the TV is melted and warped...just the plastic part. The TV still works, but it's funny to look at."

"First time trying to grow carrots from seeds. This is them 6 months later."

Someone did suggest that they should be called "cannots," although I cannot imagine there being much demand for them. It would take a lot of them to make a soup for instance.

"Just lost my airpod..."

Time to go and get a magnet on a string to fish that little guy out! Although, I would probably have to wash it for a year straight before I felt comfortable putting it back in my ear.

Did They Just Never Want To Get In Or Out Of This Door?

This design is from a version of the Harry Potter franchise where Harry never managed to get out of the cupboard under the stairs. Pretty grim reboot if you ask me.

"Ah yes, the Eiffel Tower, my favorite Italian landmark."

If they have already printed them then they may as well use them. Or, maybe this is some kind of French-Italian fusion pizzeria? I would just pretend that it is even if it's not.

"Someone drilled a hole in my gas tank. They got away with roughly $12 worth of fuel."

Jesus, that is some desperation right there to drill through someone's fuel tank for such a measly amount of gas. Someone also pointed out that the drill bit they used was probably worth more than what they got away with!

The Ultimate Equation...

"There is only 1 toilet paper dispenser at my school bathroom and every time you have to take a dump, you must calculate the amount of paper you will use. And if you don't calculate correctly, well..." wrote this person.

"This traffic safety sign..."

"So, Dave, you're telling me that you did not see any problems with this sign when you put them up all over the city?"

"Not really. Although, traffic violations are down! I will admit that reports of stalking are way up though."

"I melted my son's toothbrush after taking a dump."

There were a few people who didn't notice the candle and thought that something else had melted the toothbrush...which would have probably resulted in this guy having to go to the doctors if that was the case.

"A urinal in Germany with a full length mirror for inspecting other dude's junk."

What were they thinking when they installed this? Actually, I suppose the problem will have mainly stemmed from people NOT thinking when they landed on this design choice!

"Is it just me who thinks that looks like a down arrow?"

"Look, up and down are very confusing, anyone could have made that mistake."

"I just can't believe you could mess up something this simple."

"Actually, I messed it down..."

"You're fired."
