22 Times Being A Disappointment Was Totally Worth It

No matter what, there's always someone in our family who has our back.

Of course, not all of them can be on the same page. So when everybody gathers, there's always one relative with little opinions about where you are in life.

But while they jaw away with advice nobody asked for, you can still keep a smile on your face if you think like these folks.

1. I don't know. You guys seem happy enough about it.

Just getting food with bae may not get all the likes from your followers, but it's not like the rest of us aren't doing the exact same thing right now.

2. You know, it probably took some time to get all those different flowers.

Even if a lot of people are wishing all of the horrible things in the world on him right now, at least you know he really cares.

Still, if you're gonna put 'em in water, maybe pick a place that's not visible from the street.

And while you're at it, cut a few of your own flowers just to throw any potential angry mobs off the scent.

3. Many of us worry about disappointing our parents, but sometimes, it goes the other way around.

But at least when they address it like this, they're opening the door for us to do the same thing when we mess up. 

4. If you know something you're about to do will bug your parents, just ask yourself one question: is it funny?

If so, then you can still chuckle about it even if your phone gets taken away. 

Hopefully, Mom won't ruin it by sliding handwritten texts under your door.

5. Sometimes, there's even an upside to disappointing yourself.

And when that upside is a burrito, you won't stay disappointed for long. 

After all, if you weren't single, you'd have to share it, and there are a lot of relationships out there that ain't worth that.

6. Of course, it always helps when someone's only disappointed because they don't have all the facts.

And although they'll never look at you the same way again, their horror can be advantageous if they think this is what happens when they don't use the litter box.

7. Even the worst brain farts can become fine entertainment for the rest of us to enjoy.

The only downside is that if you do it in front of friends, they're pretty much gonna clown you about it for the rest of your life.

8. And hey, they don't have to know you messed something up.

Obviously, this is just a corner piano that conveniently fits in tight spaces! 

Yeah, try to razzle and dazzle 'em without letting them try it because it's also really inconvenient to actually play.

For real, I don't even know how you're supposed to play those keys in the middle.

It seems like if they put something difficult in front of you, all you've got is a really creative way to dislocate your wrists.

9. If you're really crafty, you can frame somebody else as the source of everybody's disappointments. 

When they complain about this, tell them it's just like the broken ice cream machine, and they'll never suspect a thing.

Hahaha, we're so evil.

10. And if there's nobody else to blame, even the letdown itself can be used to your advantage.

They'll just sigh and think everybody beat them to the punch. Meanwhile, you can be safe in the knowledge that the secret stash will stay safe.

11. And remember, they can't really be disappointed if even the effort exceeded their expectations. 

Like, a beetle cooking would be absolutely amazing, but a beetle who even tried to help the process in any way is still pretty good.

At this point, I think we'll take "pretty good."

I think we can learn a lot from this helpful-ish beetle.

I don't know about y'all, but I think I'd rather get this reaction than rolling eyes or big sighs.

And trust me, the negative reactions are even worse when they don't rhyme.

12. And if all else fails, just be adorable. 

Looking unbothered next to a disaster like this will probably get you kicked out, but looking like this pug will only break their defenses down.

That is unless you make a habit of wrestling the glassware.

13. And what they don't know is that sometimes, the disappointed reaction is its own reward.

Like, why else would we pull half of the dumb crap we do on a daily basis? Making them wonder why we're like this is just too much fun.

14. Uh...I can't really relate this to anything in our lives, but it's probably disappointing somebody.

But take a moment to ask yourself this: Do you really want to live in a world where this guy's Tinder profile doesn't exist?

The text itself is good for a chuckle, but I don't blame you for not even bothering to read it.

If he wants people to swipe right just to find out what that picture's all about, it'll probably work.

15. This guy, who is both a winner and a loser at the same time.

I'll let you decide which mark really matters. Haters will say it's the F, but I disagree. 

It's all about that A+ for effort.

Because creativity is a dying art. It is about time we start appreciating the smart wits and sass that belong to the children of today.

16. So it looks as though I won't be speaking to you.

In fact, it looks like no one will be speaking to you because no one else is this vile.

Chicken isn't supposed to be red. It just isn't.

I truly cannot imagine what this would taste like, but I can only assume it tastes like every regret you've ever had.

17. Being a disappointment is definitely the right choice in this situation.

Playing with Legos and doing your taxes both sound more appealing than sexting with this lackluster desperado, and that's saying something.

Mwahahaha. Love her spirit. Love that she's crushing playboys left, right, and center.

Who's to say what fun is? My idea of fun is mozzarella sticks and Monopoly. That's how I have fun.

18. This girl who disappointed herself in the most hilarious way possible.

This is just a series of unfortunate events. I can't imagine how that wave of realization washed over her. Would have been a rough wave to ride.

19. This guy who honestly has my vote for dreamiest gym bae

I like his go-getter spirit. Nah, he's not doing 100 or 200, he's doing 400 pounds. Go big or go to the ER. 

20. Oh, Ashley. Ashley, Ashley, Ashley. Love you girl.

First of all. I like to think ASS. manager is my job. Secondly, who let this slide? Who let this happen? Smh.

21. Sure, whatever car is actually behind the gate is gonna be an instant disappointment, but it's all worth it for this.

And if they can't tell that the bricks in the mural are a different color than the bricks on the house, that's their problem.

Actual footage of the painter of said salacious garden gate.

Clearly, they live for the drama. For the scamming lifestyle. They like to trick people. They like to pretend to be bougie. And honestly, same.

22. It'd be even better if both of these happened on the same day.

And really, if there's any way to make her mom not notice that her hair is suddenly fine again, it's a fake nose piercing.

I wonder how she'll top that one.
