I honestly thought that everyone else that this happened to just wasn’t being careful enough. Send the judgement. I deserve it.

Ordered for Valentine’s Day. Shipping was delayed. Got them yesterday. Had them for 2 hours before finding them like this in the dog’s bed. My fault, though. I set them on the floor at the top of the stairs so wife wouldn’t forget them when she went out.

Due to the flooding, water got into the mechanism and short-circuited it. It raised the platform, and this was the result.

We call this her 'blue period' since she is obviously going through some artistic phase. The Chinese rug cost nearly $6,000.

Bought a car one week ago, more expensive than I could really afford but so beautiful. Picked up paint while on vacation to paint my mom's house. Teenager working at paint store apparently didn't close the can properly. That's 1 gallon of slightly greenish gray wall paint on the floor of my new car. Paint store guy's response was to apologize profusely, give me another gallon of paint, and throw in a free tub of miracle wipes. Lovely.

I turned the oven on to preheat it. 3 min later I removed the oven tray to put it into the kitchen island so I could line it with cookie dough. It didn’t feel very hot, yet the AirPods that were on the kitchen island were presumably attached to it. When I opened the oven after baking for 10 min, there was an abnormal cookie.

Designated NOAA-N' (NOAA-N Prime) prior to launch, is the last of the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's POES series of weather satellites. The satellite suffered an accident prior to launch, which resulted in it falling off its clean room mounting, resulting in significant damage.

This mirror was like 10 ft and came with the house when we bought it. I thought someone shattered our window in the bathroom and was breaking in, or the shower glass shattered. 2 hours later, I’m still cleaning glass off the floor.

My wife and daughter have been telling me for years that the tempered glass floor protector in my office was a ticking time explosive. Today, when I accidentally knocked my favorite hand-etched glass tumbler off the desk, the floor protector saved it by shattering first into thousands of tiny shards. Well done by the floor protector.

I texted my coworker, he's the only coworker's number I have and called him asked if he was at the restaurant and explained what happened. I told him I'll send a couple pics and then he replied they want a selfie with the car "to make sure".

The patient didn’t show up for their appointment. Once mixed, it expires in less than 24 hours. No one else was scheduled for it, unfortunately.

We currently don’t have mixing capability at our location. We have to mix it at a different location and have it delivered on the day of the appointment. 1st time this had happened with such an expensive medication.

In all seriousness it was maybe the most beautiful thing I have ever smelled in my entire life. I only have a level 2 cert so I’m not super qualified to speak on the smelling notes BUT it smelled like walking through a Plum orchard after it rains in the midst of Autumn.

I should clarify, this is for iron deficiency, if I’m not mistaken it’s called Sytron! Not blood, that would have been much worse!

Mac Mighty Slicer. The first photo is how it is supposed to be. Last photos are what it looks like now…

It looks like the bottom of the tree rotted out causing it to fall over, it didn't even rip the roots out of the ground. I think the cuts are from the fire department/public works cutting it to clear the roadway. There was a pile of cut pieces out of view of the picture.

First pic is of my old car, which gfs mom backed into of October 2024. Today August 2025, she did it again to my new car. Girlfriends mom takes no responsibility both times saying it was my fault because both times it happened I was working a different shift at work, and that I should have stuck to my normal shift. Me and girly's relationship is at an all time strain level.

I purchased it same day, currently out at school and there’s isn’t a repair place around here so I’m waiting until I go home in a couple weeks to fix it up.
