Sometimes things in life backfire...heck, sometimes your whole life backfires and what seemed like a good idea at the time leaves you standing there, caked in that black powder that cartoon characters get covered in after an explosion. Anyway, just to make you feel a little better, here are 40 people who know that exact struggle!
1. This relaxing bubble bath
2. The logo placement that spoke the truth
3. The romantic gift that turned into a something a little more sinister
4. Saving money by dyeing your hair at home doesn't sound like a bad idea...
The irony is so strong in the next one, I can taste it...
5. I don't have to explain this one to you guys, do I?
6. This college hashtag campaign
7. This person who thought they could actuallybuild something from IKEA...what a chump!
8. This sentimental yearbook quote...not in any way ironic...
9. This first driving lesson in the parking lot
10. This attempt at a Valentine's Day bouquet
11. Cooking pizza drunk always seemslike a good idea
12. It turned out pretty well...until you started thinking...
All I can say about the next one is let's hope no one gets eaten...
13. This attempt to give a "stray dog" a new home
14. This attempt not to drink and drive
15. That attempt to relive your childhood is always bittersweet
16. This attempt to win back your ex
The drunken hookup isn't the only regret in the next picture...
17. Red lipstick always seemslike a good idea
18. So you wanted an authentic nature experience...
19. "It'll be out before you know it..."
20. Have fun in the ER
Usually McDonald's after a night out is a bad idea...but not in the next girl's case...
21. Why not break in those new heels tonight?
22. "Tell her how you feel, they said...What do you have to lose? They said..."
23. This attempt to cleanup trim the ivy
24. WOW. You should not have done that
25. This person posted before thinking things entirely through.
26. I'm sure the parents are wishing they hadn't left their child alone with the roll of tape right about now.
27. There's only going to be one winner by the end of this game.
28. This girl who just realized that maybe she doesn't like "Sorry" that much.
And now it's too late. Not to say sorry, of course, but well, you get it...
29. I'm always up for a wild game of checkers but...
No one can possibly love the game thatmuch, can they?
30. "I heard glasses make you look smarter".
31. I mean, if this is the only way he's going to learn not to put sand in his mouth, then so be it.
32. It might be hard to tell because he's a Lego piece, but this is the true face of regret.
And trust me, I knowLego expressions.
33. And here it is in the flesh.
A spitting image, really.
34. It's okay, there's plenty of other fish in the sea...
None of them look as good swimming the 100-meter butterfly though
35. What would compel someone to do such a thing?
36. That's an unpleasant sensation...to say the least.
37. Who could have predicted that future-you would be such a sucker?
38. I'm sorry to say that you can't just brush this one off.
39. As somebody who is currently on week two, I can say that the struggle is oh so real.
Tonight's dinner is the leftover Ramen noodles from last night's dinner.
40. I want to say nice try but I can't bring myself to do it.
