It’s sexy, it’s alluring, and it’s damned funny.
People try to stand out, to do something that’s going to get them the attention they want, and sometimes it works. But now and then, some do a little too much and end up creating an impressive or an epic fail that does get them noticed, but in a way that they might have been trying to avoid. It could be an accident, a matter of bad timing when the photo is being taken, or it could be poor decision-making on the part of the person taking the picture. Whatever it is, a fail is usually something that people make the best of and try to push anyway, or it’s something that a person pushes without realizing that once it’s on the internet, it’s going to stay there for a while to come.
Internet infamy isn’t exactly something that a lot of people want to strive for, but at the same time, there are people out there who are more than willing to do just about anything to leave a legacy behind, even if it’s one that they might not have counted on. Some people don’t care, and others try to outrun the fail that they posted, even if it’s not easy to do. The internet doesn’t really let go of an image unless someone is willing to make a concentrated effort, and even then it’s not a guarantee that thousands to even millions of people haven’t downloaded the image at some point. In other words, if one is looking to hide an internet ‘oopsie’, they’d better be ready to track down every source that decided to use the image they posted.
The best part about an internet fail though comes when the pushback is well-deserved, much like the pictures you’ll see below. Granted, it’s not necessary to damage a person’s reputation, but reminding some folks that they’re not ‘all that’ is as much of a pleasure as it is a form of amusement to many.
Foundation or filter issues?
The way that some folks use filters in their selfies is cute, quirky, or downright ridiculous since trying to erase any blemishes can cause a person to go way too far and make it appear that they have paper-smooth, wrinkle-free skin that vaguely resembles a Purge mask, complete with the creepy smile. Sometimes it’s better just to post the face you were born with, sans filters so that people can make a decision based on your actual looks.
You meant to do that, right?
This is no doubt kind of embarrassing and not exactly planned, but it’s one of those moments that gets a person to realize that sometimes they need to keep smiling since otherwise, it’s going to become a little depressing to think about what just happened. Seriously, showing your business in front of a bunch of people is bound to be humiliating, but perhaps she didn’t realize the full extent of the slip. Or maybe she laughed it off when all was said and done. It’s hard to say.
Do people not realize what a mirror is for?
This is one of those clear-cut epic fails that almost looks like it might have been made by a person that was trying to be funny. But if that’s not the case then it’s fair to state that she somehow slipped in her situational awareness and didn’t realize until it was too late that her imaginary bae was either a vampire, or he simply wasn’t there. Maybe she forgot the layout of her room?
Do you mind?
It’s bad enough having to share the bathroom and being given no choice, but it’s worse when someone just starts snapping pictures when you’re trying to do your business. True, the guy could have closed the door long before she took the photo, but if there’s someone on the pot, wouldn’t you think that you might want to move to another room before sharing a moment with your bestie? I dunno, maybe that’s just me.
Yeah, slightly disturbing.
There’s no desire to be mean here, but normally for a formal photo, it’s easy to think that a young woman would want to hold a flower, someone’s hand, or be held by her date. But this kind of gives me the idea that this young woman is headed to a different type of party once the picture’s over and done with. Borden? Borden?
What a story to tell later on.
So, let’s put it this way, she’s not the worst mother that’s ever existed since there’s no indication that she does anything too harmful to her son. But making the kid stand next to you while you’re trying on bathing suits? Yeah, that’s bound to be kind of traumatic since a lot of kids don’t want to see their parents undress, even in their peripheral vision. But think of the funny stories he’ll get to tell his shrink in a year or two.
Nothing like a public bidet.
I don’t know about you, but watching someone take a water jet up the exit chute doesn’t look that sexy. Some might think that she was caught at the wrong moment, but the way her feet are planted, and the fact that she has her underwear down, kind of says otherwise. There are ways to describe this scene, but I’ll be damned if ‘sexy’ is one of them.
The happiest place on earth?
I mean, if you’re going to gloat or perhaps headed to jail for a conjugal visit, I can’t think of a lot of reasons to smile unless you’re just that unbalanced. As someone that’s been to jail for a weekend, I can state that it’s not a happy place unless one has nowhere else to go. Even then, it’s not a place you want to be since like it or not, even three hots and a cot aren’t preferable to the kind of personal freedom you’re giving up to stay in county.
Maybe it’s her ex-boyfriend’s driveway?
Seriously, it would be funny if this was a revenge plot that would become meaningless with a hose or the first rainfall, but otherwise, it’s just flat-out entitled behavior. Even worse, she’s smiling and preening about it as she lets it flow. But there is a reason to laugh since if she is peeing down the drive, she’s sitting in it at the same time. I’d blame alcohol, but I’d rather say thank you to the libations that brought this scene to pass.
Are there no other mirrors?
What is it about taking pictures when people are dropping a deuce or taking a leak in the background? Seriously, one would think that folks might see that someone’s in the background and pause in their selfie taking for just a moment, right? Of course, that’s asking a lot considering that a selfie is serious business to some folks.
Yep, the dead flies really add to the picture.
There’s a bit to unpack with this picture, like the fact that she appears to have just thrown something on and decided to take a picture in a random room for the hell of it. To be honest this looks like something that might be shown in a mail-order bride catalog, or on a very, VERY cheap dating site. The fly strip is without a doubt the focal point of the picture, which is hilarious enough, but the woman’s appearance feels like something out of the 90s or the 80s.
Don’t forget to get mama’s best asset honey.
Does anyone else have an issue with the fact that their kid is taking the photo with a phone and wearing a diaper still? Here kiddo, take a picture of mommy and daddy in the ‘before’ pose to show how we made you. We’ll worry about the ‘after’ photo later. Okay, maybe that’s a little far, but so is having your kid take a picture of you when you’re half-naked.
Got cushions?
It doesn’t look like she has a clue about what’s happening, and that’s why this looks more like a pose than an accident that requires a funny soundtrack. But it’s easy to imagine that she’ll have a fairly soft landing since her airbags are fully deployed. Eh?
Sometimes a friendly nod will do.
Sometimes you can’t help but deal with the image that the camera catches. But at least people get a good laugh out of it. But there are those moments when you might have been winking, yawning, or doing something else, but end up looking like someone just hit the right button at the wrong time.
WTR? (Why’s That Radass?)
Epic fails are great to laugh at since they can brighten up your day or just make you feel better about being you. Of course, if you’ve ever been the product of an epic fail then you might see this a bit differently.
