“This Hurts My Eyes”: 50 Attempts That Were Made But They Were Not Good Enough (New Pics)
The best way to learn is often just to try, which is all well and good until you’re looking at the solid brick of “bread” that was the result of winging a sourdough recipe. It can sometimes be disheartening, since we mostly only see folks post their successes online, while failures get buried.
So we’ve gathered some of the funniest, well, attempts at something out there that really did not go to plan at all. Get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and ideas in the comments section down below.

They sent a text to my brother confirming he was 3 months pregnant and they booked him a ultrasound and he tried to cancel it but it wouldn't so he went to antenatal for the ultrasound and he was there for a minute before they realised their mistake. He thought it was funny

To Hide A Cell Tower
Beth Wheeler 1 day ago
OMG they "tried" to hide it in a tree.....that poor tree. In Charlotte NC there are cell towers that resemble trees. Not the prettiest things in the world but they do look better that a regular cell tower.

To Repave A Road
Kabuki Kitsune 1 day ago
This is the first layer. Hence the spray paint and how rough it looks. It's worth noting, the person who took the photo noted that the curve in the asphalt wasn't go go around a sign, but because the person taking the photo moved their car, then put the sign there because they thought it'd be funny.

To Be Politically Correct ? To Advertise A Dating App….? Idk What They Were Going For
George Costanza 1 day ago
This doesn't seem wrong to me. Instead of going through with an arranged marriage by their parents they're advertising a dating app for muslims to use to "arrange" their own marriage.
