Sometimes, it isn't until a few weeks later that the world decides to throw you a curveball, and what seems like a perfectly good addition to your daily life suddenly turns into a heap of melted plastic. In the past, we've talked about factory rejects that managed to slip through the cracks despite seeming like total write-offs, but this is a whole different beast.
Unfortunately, not all of a product's flaws are so obvious at first glance and you can find yourself with a defective product and not realize it until you've already started to get attached to it.
Today, we're going to show you 16 impressive ways that products have failed to behave as advertised and left their owners seriously disappointed.
COMMENT and tell us about the worst piece of junk you ever found yourself owning.
1. This rotating car display clearly got a little confused.
I'd love to see how it managed to flip over like this because I'm having a hard time imagining what happened here.
2. This Canadian bobsledder is just one of many folks who had to deal with a wardrobe malfunction.
Of course, someone's belly button peeking out to say hello is small potatoes compared to some other and more famous examples.
3. This is what happens when all your fireworks go off at once.
Mind you, this would actually be pretty cool to witness, but it certainly cuts the display short.
4. Looks like Times Square isn't always quite so dazzling.
I know people often don't like seeing ads everywhere but even those might be better than this.
For those of you saying that they should have used a Mac for this, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
Still, some vehicles are even more terrifying when they stop working properly.
9. Yikes, here's something you wouldn't want to sit next to.
Yet if this ever happens to you, it may be comforting to know that a plane doesn't actually become much harder to fly with just one engine. All that really happens is the plane becomes less fuel efficient, flies lower, and can't go as far because it's working the remaining engine harder than usual.
10. As you can see, this pilot managed to eject just in time after his plane stalled.
He ended up in the hospital with minor injuries, but he said nothing was hurting worse than his ego.
11. Whatever's wrong with this bus, it makes it look like it has a nitrous booster.
Unless Swedish public transit authorities are bigger fans of The Fast and the Furiousthan we thought, that's probably not what we're looking at here.
12. When a panoramic shot messes up, things can start looking pretty weird.
Between the Washington Monument falling over, this guy losing his face, and the ground getting bored and flying away, it's hard to decide where to start here.
But things get even trippier when the camera itself starts glitching out.
