15+ Crazy Things That Apparently Worked A Little Too Well

Some things work, and some things don't work. Sometimes, it's hard to predict which way things will go.

That's because — despite all indications to the contrary — certain things have a way of working out despite themselves. Let's delve into this unpredictable world.

So. Much. Carpet.

Reddit | Rten-Brel

This appears to be the handiwork of someone who really loves carpeting but also hates paying for it. The whole house, bathroom included, is covered floor to ceiling in carpet samples.

Jackalope special.

Generally, a toaster looks like a toaster, which looks like a toaster. It's not an appliance that's typically tarted up too much. This person, though, wanted some antlers on their toaster.

At least they're outside.

This person owes their back door a debt of gratitude. Without it, this horrifying mass grave of daddy longlegs that's just out back might be inside the house.

Nerd.

Reddit | EpileptikRobot

Life is full of random handles to grab but life is also disappointingly short on sword hilts to grab. The solution is obvious: turn every possible handle into the hilt of a sword.

Just drifting by.

Reddit | inkedwell

The flood prep in this area has created a situation where floodwaters are rising, but the homes are still standing. It's also created a situation where massive, ocean-going barges can drift through residential areas.

GOAT.

This Michael Jordan tattoo might seem a bit much but this guy now has a jersey he'll never have to take off. It probably makes things confusing whether he's playing for shirts or skins, though.

If it works...

Reddit | Otherwiseaaron

I love the idea of a suit that just allows the wearer to float around in the water. The aesthetic, especially when the person is on land, leaves something to be desired, though.

Blessed be thy name.

I'll never understand why Shrek came to occupy the top position on pop culture's pantheon. I can say that, horrifying though this may be, it's executed pretty well.

Baby tank, doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo.

Reddit | lajosyext

Is this simply an all-terrain stroller or is the baby expected to use a turret and start shooting? Either way, it's bound to keep the little ones safe.

Keep it cozy.

Reddit | realgoodbirb

Crocheted covers add a certain sense of warmth to whatever they're covering. Even when the item they're covering is a...checks pic...coffee maker, it still kind of works.

A lot to take in.

At first glance, it looks like a limo. Then you see the front tires and things get a bit weird. Finally, the doors open and you have no idea what's going on anymore.

Golden throne.

Reddit | Annoleuven

This golden toilet shows, in one picture, exactly how I assumed rich people lived back when I was a kid. Apparently, part of my vision was accurate.

Hobbit CPU.

Reddit | Randall-Harper

This computer case is a little different than the usual AlienWare fare in that it's handcrafted out of wood, copper, lead and glass. It would look right at home in the Shire.

Pimp my Prius.

Reddit | Yanai007

There are a lot of Prius fans out there but one major shortcoming of the brand is that it doesn't make those 1970s Volkswagen camper vans. Now, Prius owners don't have to compromise.

Accuracy is key.

Reddit | PhillyPhresh

You're really not supposed to grip a handgun this way, even if it does make you look totally rad. But if you must, at least make sure the gun has custom sideways sights.

Just why?

Reddit | Silverslade1

I have nothing against baseball caps in gaudy colors but this one is literally made out of aluminum soda cans. I guess it would still provide shade, even if it might get hot.

Get out of my dreams.

Reddit | wolf-bot

Have you ever gotten so into an order of chicken nuggets that you just want to snuggle them? Now you can, thanks to an ultra-realistic McNugget body pillow.

Epic photoshoot.

Reddit | iahimide

I never would have thought that a pregnancy photoshoot in front of a lightning storm and a bowing semi would have worked, but I guess I was wrong.

Pimp my mower.

I don't know if underglow is passe nowadays, but the one way we can bring it back is by incorporating it into stuff other than cars...y'know, stuff like lawnmowers.

Yabba dabba doo.

Reddit | saeoner

I've never wanted to live like I'm in The Flintstones. It's the 21st century and we don't need to use dinosaurs for transport anymore. Still, these Flintstones houses do look cozy.

An alternate reality.

Reddit | StovetopGiraffe

What if bicycles had evolved not as bikes, but as weird half-cars? This odd contraption seen on a European street gives us a glimpse of what might have been.

Looks cozy.

Reddit | FunInches

Nobody ever wants to have to use a port-a-potty. It doesn't matter how clean it is or how many flowers you put in the urinal. It's all about getting in and getting out.

Sushi date night.

Reddit | ryanid

Look, I love sushi. I also love cake. I would not be opposed to eating one directly after the other. But I have to draw the line somewhere and in this case, it's when sushi becomes cake.

Low rider.

Reddit | purobugatticoupe

I don't know if this thing is tricked out with hydraulics or even if it has actual rear wheels. Either way, they executed their vision.

Get it?

Reddit | CheeristZero

You know how people call USB drives "thumb drives?" Wouldn't it be hilarious if someone attached a realistic disembodied thumb to one? Yeah, I didn't think so either.

If it fits.

Reddit | CyberWayet

Putting aside the fact that the 'heavy metal' truck is hauling wood, it looks like things are working out. It doesn't look like things are necessarily safe but what can ya do?

Wait a minute.

Reddit | DraxNet

This was spotted in Moscow. I wonder what kind of modifications have been done to this car for the driver to be able to lean out a rear window.

Nice try.

Reddit | Purple_Impostor

I don't know if this was a lazy student who was trying to cheat or an earnest attempt at a correct answer. I mean, the portrait certainly looks like it's identifying this man as Getty Images.

The Joker lives.

Reddit | lajosyext

For the last time, the Joker is a character that isn't worth emulating. Despite that, people are all about Joker cosplay, including Jokermobiles in hideous shades of magenta.

I wouldn't not eat it.

Reddit | benton-heasley

This is described as someone's 88-year-old grandma's version of chips and salsa. I want to laugh at it, but you know what? Age brings wisdom. Maybe grandma knows best.

So plush.

Reddit | d0nh

There's nothing wrong with cushy car seats. There's nothing wrong with a cozy wheel cover. There is something wrong with finishing the rest of your car with carpeting and pleather.

Tables for days.

Reddit | darthdelicious

Here's something that should look like an absolute mess — a bunch of tables stacked haphazardly — but somehow actually kind of works. I can see this being the next big interior design trend.

Good enough.

Reddit | OccamsBeard

Sure, plenty of people would look at this photo and think, "That can't be safe." But hey, I don't see it falling over so it must work.

Not bad.

Reddit | Rawr_Bacon

"My wasp trap works, apparently too well," wrote the person who posted this nightmarish wasp graveyard on Reddit. I mean, wasps do suck, so good job.

They can't be contained.

I love how this mushroom grow kit includes instructions for growing when it's clear the mushrooms inside need absolutely no assistance whatsoever.
