Making a mistake is a completely human thing. From small blunders that go unnoticed to bigger miscalculations that cost a whole day’s work, it happens to everybody every day. Some of those we easily forget; some take a while to get over.

The mistakes documented in the list below are not ones you can easily leave behind. That’s because, firstly, they make quite an impression with their silliness. Secondly, many of them are either permanent or would require some serious effort to fix them. In other words, it’s not that easy to just brush them off as they’re always in your face.

As someone who as a child catapulted herself 4 metres from the trampoline into the clothesline (imagine a child looking like they've been draped out to dry) I can guarantee this is a c**p idea.

The testament to the idea that mistakes are very common is the amount of them we have experienced throughout history. Some instances could even take us back hundreds if not thousands of years. 

One of the most famous mistakes is the crash of the Titanic. A moonless night paired with an unexpected obstacle caused the loss of 1,514 people. However, as more people are continuing to look into the matter, more mistakes are being found.

    Louise Patten, a writer and granddaughter of Titanic second officer Charles Lightoller, once revealed that the steersman of Titanic made a huge mistake when trying to avoid disaster. In a snap decision, he turned the wrong way when the crew identified the iceberg ahead. 

    You see, the steering systems in steel boats work in the opposite way compared to sailboats. This, together with the fact that this massive ship was going very fast, made the collision unavoidable.

    Another major mistake that resulted in a wreckage of a vessel that, fortunately, didn’t take any lives happened in 1999. Mars Climate Orbiter was a robotic space probe that was designed by NASA to study the red planet. However, it didn’t succeed in its mission. That is because the company that made the spacecraft, Lockheed Martin, used US customary units while building it even though NASA used the metric system designing it. The silly mistake caused the orbiter to get too close to the planet and, subsequently, destroyed.

    I suppose the trees were first. It would be incredibly stupid to break up the pavement. Plant a tree where there was no place for before. Whilst having the planters already there. They just came, saw the trees, tiled around it and proceeded to make the rest like it was on the blue print.

    Oh my God, this happened to us. The municipality I live in forced every homeowner on the block to install some sort of drainage pipes from our houses to the street. In return, they added storm runoff grates up and down the street. When they put the one in front of our house in, they placed it on the north side of our driveway. No one bothered to listen to us or our neighbor when we explained how rain water ran right to the south side of the driveway and then made it's way over the apron and straight onto the sidewalk where it would build up until it dried up. So, the very next morning, after installation, it stormed hard and when the township inspectors came, they saw the mistake and what happened because of it. One of them actually said, "that storm drain should be on the other side". No. S**t. Sherlock. They never did make it right and we have the cleanest storm drain grate in the neighborhood.

    Apparently, he came back to his (messy?) London lab after his summer holiday and noticed that one of the discarded petri dishes with staphylococcus bacteria had mold in it. The thing that made him curious was the fact that the mold was surrounded by “juice” that protected it from bacteria. He, together with a group of other scientists, started looking into it and soon enough discovered penicillin.

    I don't think this is a "mistake". More likely someone crashed into it and they've wrapped the column to prevent bricks from tumbling down. Presumably will eventually get fixed.

    This situation looks a lot like the door to our attic growing up. The house was built in the 1600s and there was an attic off the staircase, which was stone by the way. Admittedly there was a very small landing, more like a shelf, to stand on when you opened the attic door, and if I remember rightly the door opened inwards. Hey, when you have small spaces, you do what you need to make it work.

    The mistake is, certainly, unfortunate. The man had already made plans of ditching his job and traveling the world with money he didn’t yet have. Once it became clear that he would not be getting it, he felt like it had been “taken away” from him. He became obsessed with the lost millions and went into multiple legal battles over them. Soon, his marriage crumbled and he joined a religious cult.

    It's more than likely hardwired and the wires were too short to move and it's controlled by the main office or a central bank that allows the sound and time controls to be operated off of 1:00 so yeah I agree they couldn't have moved it very easily it would have cost more than what they did

    Mistakes are often called “the human factor” because they are inevitable. Some of them are serious. Others simply make us cringe as we’re trying to fall asleep. We hope the images from this list will not haunt you at night. Instead, maybe they can act as a reminder to pay a little more attention when you’re working.

    This was probably originally meant as an express bike lane, so it would actually have made sense to cross this way. Only the pedestrians using it defy the purpose.

    Ugh. Amateur. You're supposed to inject insulin under his tongue so the mark can't be found, then wrap the body in a garbage bag, and into the trunk with a shovel and drive two hours outside your house so you're out of the geographical profile, then dig a hole twelve feat deep and put a dead animal half way, then at the top, plant an endangered plant so people can't dig it up. But if for some reason they find a way to, the dead animal will come in and they'll stop digging. If they so happen to find the body they'll run a tox screen to see if any drugs were involved, insulin won't show up on a tox screen and if they specifically test for insulin they'll assume it was undiagnosed diabetes. Do it right next time.

    This reminds me of a one way dead end street. I saw one at Fort Bragg (now called Fort Liberty or something.) The military police would park at the entrance and give tickets for going the wrong way.

    There's a pay by the wk,mth or day motel in our county ( they have a few ) where the majority of the rooms are built like that. Better bring your own air freshener if you have more than one person in there. Especially when someone has an upset stomach or eats too many spicy foods. You can't close the bathroom door and believe me it's nasty

    Maybe not a mistake. The seats may come in units of 10 or however many and they knew that one seat just couldn't be used but they still gained by installing the row.

    Remove the handle off one or both drawers. You can still open them from the sides.

    Remove the handle and make a small cut-out instead.

    This is the first moment you realize you should have opened the drawers before purchasing the house.

    I'm a cabinet designer/drafter. This makes my head hurt so bad. Corner fillers are important!

    sometimes people do this to mark where an access port to something might be. But that tile looks set in place pretty thoroughly so they just messedup.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's a door at ramp-height and they made the ramp because the stairs made it too much of a parkour-challenge.

    Ah, reminds me of German bureaucracy. A theater (plays, not movies) needed to be renovated. The building was old and done in a certain building style, so it was worth protecting. Unfortunately the hand rails on the stairs where to short for modern standards, but because of protected status they also couldn´t be replaced. so did something similar to the picture IIRC.

    I've fallen down staircases three times in my life. If this were the fourth, it would also be the final.

    Nope. Open > Closed. It doesn't matter what anyone says. 15 years of testing gives me reams of empirical evidence. The only problem with this particular image is that they should have the radiator the other way around.
