These Folks Are Just Doing Their Best With the Terrible Hands Life Dealt Them

Don't just succumb to your bad situation, rock it by following the lead of these unlucky folks who were better off just staying inside. 

We've Got Golf At Home

Who needs to pay huge amounts of money just to go hit a ball with a stick? We think that's just too wasteful when you can make your own golf course. All you need is a ball, a tee, a club, and a friend with dental insurance. 

Mom, Get the Camera

There is a lot to unpack here, but the key points that should be touched on are, how fast the garbage truck is moving, and why these people are running on the shoulder of a highway. Aren't there laws against this?

Feels Like College

Both the driver and our esteemed passenger here should be ashamed of themselves for acting so stupidly. That being said, everyone on this bus probably got a good laugh out of this. 

A Few Seconds Too Late

Something tells me that this is a house that has never had a single woman enter it. Something else tells me that these tiny glasses (chess board included) are going to sit in the sink until the end of their lease.

Just Making Things Work

If you’re ever in this position, just use a whisk in the batter, or like, just go buy a cake. There is a strong chance that this person actually hurt themselves doing this. 

 

Taking the Dive

99% of life is committing, and taking the plunge can be translated in a bunch of different ways. This guy, right here, he's embodying the phrase both literally and figuratively. 

Gir Er' Done

These cats just made the decision to put one foot in front of the other and replace a tire with a skateboard. We applaud their motivation, however, this is not a sustainable resolution.

Be Careful Boys

There's nothing quite as refreshing as eating a freshly chainsawed watermelon in the middle of the winter. If you can successfully avoid chopping your fingers off, try to spit out the pieces with machine oil on them.

That Bike's Toast

Some people grow out of their bikes, other people completely crush them with bricks to get the job done. This dude is a dedicated fellow, and he deserves a promotion for crushing his bike for the cause. 

Swim At Your Own Risk

This guy could very well be an engineering genius, but this stupid move might just be his last project ever. Shout out to his daughter for actually wearing proper safety gear. 

One Way to Do It

When it's just a little too cold out to ride your bike, this would be considered a stupid alternative.  However, if this guy survives, he might learn something new about his exercise routine that he never knew before.

Don't Move, Don't Even Breathe

The only things that are more vicious than alligators are the Floridians that spent $27 on an alligator show that expect to see someone mutilated to get their money's worth. That whole state needs to be disconnected from the continental United States.

Carl's Got the Welding Gear Again

Is anyone going to tell this guy that he's probably going to wreck his entire studio/ possibly die? No? Okay, I'll just mind my own business then. 

You're Coming With Us, Kid

Take this gracefully, kid. Living in a zoo isn't as bad as you would think. You get three square meals, can play whenever you want, and you don't have to worry about people issues, like anxiety and taxes.

There Have Been Better Ideas

This is a photo of all the boys having a great time on the way to the Maroon 5 concert. Don't worry, there are enough of them to tip the car back over and head back the way they were going. 

AAAAAAAND... JOUST!

These gentlemen are fighting to defend their lawn's honor. The man who wins gets to relax in the sun all day while their friend has to do all of the lawn work. Peasants. 

That's Not Good...

You seem to be missing a little something there, buddy. You seem to be missing two very important things that are imperative to driving a wheeled vehicle. You are missing your wheels. You are going to crash.

Whatcha Doin'?

This lion isn't threatening our friend here, he's just checking out this cool tent. He probably came over to make fun of this dude's outfit too, he looks like such a goofball.

In Hindsight

Can you imagine accidentally doing this and then deciding not to take the time and separate them by hand, just letting people roll the dice and seeing what they get? This takes a special type of person to do.

Boxed In

I would love to hear this lady's story about how she got so many concrete boxes on top of her bike. This is really cool and all, but jeez, her poor tires are probably seconds away from exploding.

I Whip My Hair Back...

Buddy, you look FABULOUS. We love your energy, keep on rockin' old man.

Failure is a Learning Experience 

A true power move would have been staying in the closet until they offered you the job. If you stay there long enough they have to hire you because of squatter's rights. 

Crutches With a Little Extra

This is a dangerous concept. If you spend enough time using this crutch-beer-holder, you might find yourself needing that pair of crutches longer than expected.

Perfect Timing

Fortunately, these kids are either walking TO the beach, or they're REALLY close to it. Just laugh this off and trot up to the water, no harm, no foul.

Get Her Outta Here

A lot of people prefer to cover their tattoos up with a larger, more extreme tattoo. You know, something to help them forget that the previous tattoo was ever there. In this case, this guy probably wanted to remember this tattoo so he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Officer, Please May I Have One More

Dude, if you're going to go to jail, you might as well try and go in style. Try and get as wasted as you can, you might be able to forget that all this happened.

That's the Spirit

In the face of adversity, it's best to keep your sense of humor with you. That's the face of a man that just got some insurance money.

SEND IT

Honestly, this is the sickest thing I've ever seen. Hopefully, this dude absolutely crushed this hill without getting hurt. You never know what's lying beneath urban snow.

Biting Back

There is only one way to stop people from asking you how you lost your arm, just get a tattoo of what happened right over it, like this guy. Cheers bud, sorry about that shark attack. 

The Cone of Shame

Free my man!! He did nothing wrong, in fact, he seems to be doing everything RIGHT. Remove that cone this instant!

All Stocked Up

Wisconsin gets cold this time of year, that's why you should stock up on booze until your door freezes shut. Unfortunately, this much alcohol will only last 2-3 hours in the average mid-western home.

Hey Buddy... BUDDY

Hey man, your couch is on fire. Really sorry to interrupt your nap, but there are some pressing matters that you might want to respond to.

Locked Into the Look

You seem to have worked yourself into a fine pickle here, haven't you? This is definitely a bet gone bad, and this person might be stuck like this for a lot longer than they would want to be.

I Have No Words

There is not a single excuse that anyone could make to justify putting an active powerstrip in their pool. These three dudes probably never did this again.

Bees in the Chain

Whether you like it or not, you're going to have to ride this bike back home. Sorry dude, I don't make the rules.

You're on FIRE

The only thing we can walk away from this with is, don't ride a bike in a costume that's too small for you around a campfire drunk. Good thing we didn't see the aftermath, it was probably brutal.

What's That Supposed to Do?

Florida is one of the most confusing places on Earth. The education system clearly didn't treat these fools well, and the man on the right dresses far too well to be wrestling an alligator. 

Just Keep Moving

There's nothing to see here everybody, just carry on. There is no need to look up, just keep live-Tweeting this big fat fire and everything will be fine.

One Way In, One Way Out

You got yourself into this mess, you are going to get yourself out of it. Grab some towels and prepare for the worst you moron.

Worst Case Scenario

What are the holes on the tops of the bags for if they just mess this process up so much? In theory, you're owed a free bag of peanut butter pretzels for this mishap.

Here Comes the Watermelon Man

There is a lot to unpack here, LITERALLY. THERE ARE A LOT OF WATERMELONS TO UNPACK, HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF WATERMELON. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS JOKE?

Fluff and Stuff

This is unfortunate for the person, but even more unfortunate for the squirrel. If this guy keeps eating plastic fluff, he'll probably keel over right then and there.

What Happened Buddy

How did this happen to you? My sweet Dinesh, please pray that this precious uber driver reaches his destination. He is in a bad place.

That's No Good Chief

Oh bud, you're gonna have to bring this one back to the apple store. There's a good chance that this is the point of no return for your $1,000 iPad.

Natural Selection

Fortunately, natural selection is manifesting in different ways now that we have formats like Youtube and Vimeo. Every Jackass wannabe is slowly wiping themself off of the planet, one injury at a time.

Get After It

There are some benefits from getting injured, people usually let you have a little more resources until you get better. I wish they made these cones for humans so I can stop my girlfriend from stealing my food.

Show Him How You Really Feel

Wow, this must have been really difficult to work through. Let's hope there's a great clothing bonfire afterward to celebrate.

Good Work Spidey

This is fun until you end up sticking your thumb with a giant piece of glass and you have to go to the hospital to get it out.

The Same Joke Stands

On a tangent, these are two of the worst cracked screes I've ever seen. It's a wonder that either of these phones still work. 

Power Through

This is so dangerous, but OH SO RAD. If you wanna be a sick and cool badass like this guy, make it happen. Everyone will love you.

Thanks Anyway

Usually, when someone gets their car written on by a stranger, it's something negative. This graffiti artist should have just kept what they wrote, it would be a nice surprise to the unsuspecting individuals.

Inquire Within

Usually taking on a job that involves taking care of kids isn't that alluring. However, this job seems to have a few perks. 

Crushin' It

Can you believe that this little girl caused all of this damage to the family car? This is going to come out of her college fund for sure.

Luke, I Am Your Scab

There are only so many things you can do about the body you've been given. This just so happens to be one of those things you can do.

Can't Blame Ya

Buddy, we've been trying to tell you that for years! Pick up American football, it's much more profitable.

Funny Guy, Eh'

Do you think that this guy built up the nerve to hop out of his driver's seat and ask where the bathroom was? If not, that's a massive wasted opportunity.

Chicken in the Bruise

Dear God, instead of having fun and drawing over this terrible injury, this person should really go to the hospital. 

Going, Going, Gone

It's important to keep a sense of humor through adversity. So what, you've got a receding hairline. You have enough cash to get a tattoo and have a little chuckle, that's what counts at the end of the day.

Finally, It's Time

A bad time for jokes, but a great time to test out the maiden voyage of your handmade replica of the Titanic. Heads up for icebergs guys.

A Little More Than a Scratch

If you're on the phone with your mechanic and you say that you "just have a scratch" and then you bring them this to fix, you are going to have a bad time. 

Just Having Fun

Jeff Goldbloom would be proud of this idea. He wouldn't be happy that you crashed your car, but he would totally be happy that you made the best of a bad situation.

Working With What He's Got

You gotta stay in high spirits if you're going to be in the hospital for a while. Hopefully, someone warmed up to his advances, he does seem genuine.

Just Rework It

This tattoo probably cost significantly less than an actual long sleeve polo shirt would have cost to physically cover up this monstrosity. Maybe you should think before you get tattooed.

Three of a Kind

This is your one-stop-shop for all the things that are going wrong in your life. The first two options should go first in the order, ideally. 

Nothin Like a Snooze

Snarky Morgan Freeman is pretty quick for this one!!! Also, there might be a chance that this isn't a joke. 

Follow the Rules Please

It's one thing to get into an accident, it's another to defy someone's clearly defined boundaries. This person who hit this car will likely take a big pay cut, and they will lose the potential friendship they could have built with this driver.
