There’s A Group Dedicated To Sharing “You Had One Job” Fails, And Here Are 50 Of The Funniest Ones (New Pics)
If it were up to us, we’d only talk about our successes. After all, who likes telling the entire world how badly they failed?! But failure is inevitable, and if you never go wrong, you never learn. Or so they say…
So this time, we are diving deep into the world of cases where people who had only one, a single hackin’ job on their to-do list, managed to fail miserably. And thanks to the 508k followers-strong subreddit “One Job,” there’s a lot to uncover.
Think of changing light bulbs, putting masking tape on electrical plugs, serving donuts at Dunkin’ Donuts, or arranging a parking lot into spots—some of these jobs sound like no-brainers, others seem to require more effort. Blame it on weather, circumstances, luck turning its back, a black cat crossing your path, or whatever, but one thing is clear—the results were not worthy of promotion.
Scroll down to upvote your favorite “you had one job” examples, and be sure to check out our previous posts with people failing at their duties here and here.

Dear BP Authors. I would really love if you could put how to pronounce your names. Even if just for a week, or a month. Your language, and everyone else's, fascinates me. Since this is a global site, I'd love to know how to say them so I can also learn all the many languages I see here. That'd be awesome :) Thanks Rannveig "ren- veck"
