15+ People Who Didn’t Double-Check First

No matter what you are doing in life it is always good practice to double check whatever you're doing! It will often save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

However, there are a lot of people who simply like to charge into a task or situation without pause for thought, with no one exemplifying this more than these 15+ people who didn't double-check first!

"Got my cat's ashes back today. His name was Aslan..."

Wow, that is really unfortunate. Better get a white Sharpie to try and turn that "i" into an "l" I guess.

"Found this gem..."

I actually think I want this more like this than if it was accurate. I can just imagine him saying, "It's-a me! Captain America! Woo-hoo!"

"Pro-tip: When transporting paint make sure it is properly secured. Especially if you are driving in a $90,000 Maserati."

I think that one of the main messages here is don't use a Maserati for transporting paint, but maybe I'm mad for thinking that.

"My son wanted to play Hide and Seek. He might go pro."

Ah, you see, he missed one small detail of hide and seek...that detail being where you try to make sure no one can see you!

"Lasted a whopping 3 hours in a TV remote."

But PonysaniG are such a renowned and trustworthy brand?! This is outrageous performance for such a well-known brand!

"So. Is the red one safe to insert?"

"Look, all I'm saying is that I don't really see how this is my fault, there should have been a sign on the red one as well."

"Dave, can you please remove it before I have this conversation with you?"

"You matter, don't give up!"

This kind of works as one of those "is the glass half empty or half full" scenarios where you just choose your own outlook on life!

"Asked my friend to spray sunscreen on my back... Not the most even coat."

Yeah their friend really dropped the ball on this one. They didn't even bother to write a funny message, what's that all about?!

"GF was so proud of herself for buying raw doors, cutting in the hinges and drilling the knob hole. I was the bearer of bad news that she did it upside down."

I think that I would have just kept that little nugget of information to myself if I'm honest, and just lived with an upside down door.

"That time I went to London and finally got to see Big Ben."

You should always make sure that the thing you want to see isn't completely covered in scaffolding when planning your trips, just a heads up.

"My seven-year-old's brilliant way to never lose the only key he has for this lock. "

Well, one thing is for sure, he won't lose it. All he needs to do now is to weld this to the floor and he won't lose either!

"Really, UPS?"

The guy on the left just looks like he is pointing and laughing at this poor recipient!

A Very Embarrassing Spelling Mistake!

The story behind this one was, "This sign has a typo ([it's] in [Finnish]) it was meant to say angry birds corner (angry birds nurkkaus) but instead it says angry birds masturbation (angry birds runkkaus)."

"My buddy got laid off 2 months ago. He got this in the mail today to celebrate his 5 year work anniversary."

I guess that he could always smash it with a hammer to let out some of that internalised anger he is doubtlessly feeling?

Did They Even Check The Copyright For "Mattress Bob"?

I do kind of love the slogan, "Mattress Bob likes that bargain" though. It's just so awful it is kind of perfect.

"This picture tells a story."

It most certainly does, and it is a story that ends with a child covered in cement crying for their mother.

"Bed Bath & Beyond."

I quite like this alternative title. It's a little more grounded, like they're saying, "Yeah, we got stuff. Come in and have a look, or don't, we don't care!"

"Molly has been losing her vision with old age, here she is looking out the window."

What a lovely day! In fairness, most of my best days are spent staring aimlessly at the couch while being on the couch!

"I made coffee while I was still half-asleep."

This is one of those things that I never thought anyone would ever be tired enough to actually do. And then I started getting old.

"Someone managed to lose their new box of... Lost-item trackers."

If only they had bought another set of trackers and put them on this packet of trackers!
