No matter how successful, cool or elegant we are, we all have our days or brief moments when our common sense and dignity bid their farewell to us. Blame it on your brain having a fart, on Mercury in retrograde, on waking up on the wrong foot, it doesn’t change anything.
Sometimes we are all clueless, hilariously naive, and shamelessly embarrassing. So if you just did or said something stupid, we want to give you a big pat on the shoulder and tell you that you are not alone.
Below we wrapped up the list of images featuring people lost in the cloud of their brain farts, so scroll down. Also, be sure to check out more clueless people caught in action in Bored Panda’s previous features here and here.

While we can’t tell the reason that made these people act they way they did as seen in the images shared in this post, we can all agree on the obvious: it’s that humans are sometimes bold and unreasonable.
Luckily, the internet is a perfect place to celebrate these funny occasions. Just like the miscellaneous corner of Reddit known as the “What Could Go Wrong” community, which has been demonstrating examples of “what not to do” since 2013.

Now Your Own Decisions Belong To A Man You Haven't Met
I'll be happy to pretend to be a fiancé/husband working abroad and do a video call giving my consent to anyone having this problem.
Previously, we spoke with the creator of what is now a Reddit powerhouse that boasts 7.2 million members. The creator who goes by the nickname Peanutbuttered told us a while back that in a perfect world, r/whatcouldgowrong wouldn’t exist because people would know what is smart to attempt and what isn’t. “But since that’s not the case, at least, we hope the subreddit can help to prevent an injury or save a life."
“My hope is that people who are thinking of attempting a stupid stunt will rethink their decision or maybe recall a post they saw on /r/whatcouldgowrong. Then they’ll think, 'maybe I should not do this,'” the redditor said.

I Mean, How Stupid Can People Be?
But bold actions we all sometimes do without thinking twice about them may have to do with our lack of sense of actions and consequences. This may be deliberate or not, since some people struggle to control their impulsivity.
Another reason may be the fact that we live in the age of instant gratification. From social media to online shopping, the ability to get what we want with the click of a button has eliminated the need for long-term planning and consideration of the potential consequences of our actions.
Our culture has become one of immediacy, where people are more concerned with the short-term gratification of their desires than with the long-term consequences.

This lack of foresight has led to a number of problems, both for individuals and society as a whole. For individuals, it has resulted in a lack of financial planning, leading to debt and overspending. It has also led to a lack of responsibility when it comes to personal health and safety, resulting in an increase in reckless behavior and risky activities.
There's A Thin Line Between Confidence And Stupidity And This Guy's Way Over That Line
I was working on a commercial (makeup artist) and we were filming outside all day. I was walking around putting sunscreen on all of the actors and one flat out refused it and said that he never uses it and never burns. Guy ended up frying and blistering and getting heatstroke. Hopefully he learned from that.

At Least He’s Cleaning It
Not his fault. No one whe spends any time around cooking would think this. Man grew up outside of the kitchen. Parental fail.
You think this guy got to the point of being able to live on his own before he was responsible enough to take responsibility for learning basic household tasks? Yes, his parents should have taught him. But, by the time he reached this point, it’s his fault, too. He was old enough to get himself into that kitchen, ask questions and help out 🤷🏻♀️

I need a beer too but will start with coffee. Goodness, how can you not know or has he never been taught to cook at home? (just a thought).
Even if you were not directly taught, but have you never seen someone using a oven before in your 20 years time on earth :D

Honestly, this is why I started making my son cook 1 dinner a month for everyone. That and a little lesson on how hard it is to cook for picky people(he was the pickiest person I've ever met until his friend convinced him to try chicken on the bone, something he always avoided. Now he's trying everything he never would, afraid he's been missing out on a new favorite)
I do that too but only for my chicken. I put marinade and spices on the chicken and put veggies on the tray under so the grease drops onto the veggies and it's DELICIOUS!
Tou dou use the OVEN grate for that. You use a roasting pan with a grate INSIDE it.

The world has all the collective knowledge of mankind in a simple device that can be kept in your pocket, but people still just go forth and do things with zero knowledge on how it's supposed to be done when all they had to do was pull up yt on their phone and ask, "How do I cook a roast?" People are too lazy to even do that anymore.
My husband probably could have been the blood and grease guy. When I had surgery and he had to start cooking for himself he insisted on making a pizza on the rack because there were instructions on the Digorno box. Do not do that in my cheap oven. Use the giant cookie sheet pan with a grated insert. Same outcome on the pizza and the pans fit in the dishwasher.
Never ever spied mom while grilling something? Mom has a kitchen búnker and You weren't admitted?
This is why MEN should have Home Economics as a compulsory subject at school. 🤦
Do these people live under rocks? Certainly didn’t pay attention to ANYTHING growing up!! Oh, a faux pas, they ain’t grown lol!!
I 100% blame parents for sending their kids out into the world without proper training.
Oh, my Gawd ... WTH was he when his parents were COOKING all those years??
No downvotes BPs!! I had a 26yo roommate--well-traveled and a college student--who cooked a frozen pizza once without removing the cardboard tray beforehand🤷♀️
I knew a woman who popped a frozen lasagna out of its container onto a cookie sheet before putting in oven. Couldn't understand why it slopped off the sheet onto the element. Entire house filled with smoke. She sent a nasty message to the company, demanding a new oven and reimbursement for the cleaning service. Then she told us her woes during a game night. She unfriended all of us. ☺
Guffaw, I blame the parents for not teaching him how to use an oven FFS.
Didn't this guy ever at least watch his mum/father cooking in the kitchen? A big lapse in parental lessons I reckon.
If he'd asked his mum he would've got an hour-long phone call. But now he's gone viral instead
not surprised. i once had a roommate bake a turkey still in the plastic bag. she thought it was to retain moisture. took a week to get the smell out of the apartment
Did this cousin never make chocolate chip (or whatever kind they like) cookies from scratch when they were growing up? Pies? Cakes? Muffins? What about at the grandparent's house, if Grandma or Grandpa liked to bake and have the grandkids help? Is that not a common thing families do? I have so many questions.
When they do get a baking sheet finally they will probably put it on the bottom rack and the meat still on the top rack to "grill it". Probably say in a message again, "well the baking sheet helps a little catching it so it isn't as long to clean the oven like it was before. Any more tips?"
I would immediately question why there was blood in the oven. I wouln't think in a million years that he was just putting meat right on the rack. I thought he was terrible at cooking and would burn and or cut himself hence the blood.
this is sad, his parents never bothered to teach him basic life skills & he's doing his best. bless.
I just keep thinking about his fire alarm, was it constantly going off or did he pull the batteries? Even cleaned each time most meat is going to drip enough for a significant amount of smoke.
If he grew up poor I could see this happening. We never used our oven growing up. Never.
On a larger scale, this lack of consideration for the consequences of our actions has led to environmental degradation and climate change. We have failed to take the long-term view and instead have focused on short-term gains, leading to a situation where we are now facing the consequences of our actions.

I do want to specify that the employee knew English. He was trying his best to get his message across. It’s just that he spoke in broken English, which the woman couldn’t understand. But everyone else in the vicinity, including myself, could.
Conversely, i know of a lady who, on whirlwind tour of Europe and stressed by language difficulties, one day finding herself in a large seemingly-public building called out 'DOES ANYONE HERE SPEAK ENGLISH?'. After a stunned silence, a well-modulated voice replied 'madam, this IS the Bank of England'.
