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.

That's 668 People Who Lack Critical Thinking

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.
Let him burn, then drink your last bottle of water rather than offering it to him XD
For some strange reason some men get medical products mixed up with cosmetics in their minds. I dated a guy like that once. Wouldn't use sunscreen even though he was fair and burned easily. And forget about products to treat his acne. All those things were for women in his mind.
The only 'pussy' around here is the guy intimidated by sunscreen...
I can’t believe BP didn’t censor this word 2x! I wrote will-ies last week, as in something gave me the creeps, and they censored it. They censored the word s-e-x above. WTF? BTW, I have no problem with any of the language.

Even hedgehogs get sun burns, especially alien ones. Learned that the hard way.
Still gotta hand it to the BP geniuses that censor k**b and not pussy
Why is a term for female genitalia used to symbolize weakness? I want to see a man have a baby and then call women weak.
Forgot to mention you need to continue to eat the chocolate every day to continue the protection. Just a couple small pieces each day. I eat it spring through early autumn.
Actually if you eat a couple small pie es of high-cocoa-content dark chocolate everyday for a few weeks, you won't burn no matter how long you are in the sun, and you'll tolerate the sun's heat better too. I live in Wisconsin and sun exposure varies greatly. Went to Florida on vacation, no sun stroke or sun burn. Amazing. Big pharma keeps those things secret. Chemicals in lotion aren't good for you or your babies either.
Imagine getting skin cancer cause you thought you were tougher than the sun the f*****g sun
the sun that takes up 98% of the mass in the solar system? that one?
When they first had seatbelts in cars people (AKA men) would get insulted and ask "Don't you trust my driving?" if a passenger put one on.
I am married to an Australian, it took awhile for me to convince him you must always wear sunscreen, I am latino not fair not dark , I wear suncsreen every day. His mom who is in her 70's refuses to wear it, she's been lucky but we all know skin cancer can appear at any time ay where.
Dude has clearly never met a puss. If he had he would understand that such things are stronger & more miraculous than toxic masculinity. - Using anything related to a female as an insult just shows the level of someone’s ignorance. Like, my man, have you ever even met a female?… they’re those flesh hangers that grow those boo*s you see everywhere.
The paba in sunscreen is a cancer inducing ingredient. It’s fine, if it’s not in the sun. The minute it’s exposed to the sun it causes cancer. Now who’s a skin cancer recipient?
Toxic masculinity is a neon banner screaming "I'm insecure, and I have a small penis".
Last winter I was on the beach in Hawaii (applying sunscreen on my handsome husband's back) while we listened to some doofus inform everyone loudly that he could not burn because he had a deep tan. Uh-huh, that tan makes you bullet-proof, too, buddy.
As a multiple skin cancer survivor, there’s only 2 times you don’t need sunscreen; one is at night, the other is when you’re inside.
Only a wanker doesn't put on sunscreen and tries to shame those who do.
yes if you have thin skin like my sister or brother put sunscreen on!!
Australia has such a high rate of skin cancer. We drum it into our kids these days to wear sunscreen, hats good sunglasses before they are even allowed out to play. Skin cancer is very real, deadly and something to protect yourself from at all costs male or female.
If that guy was Chuck Norris… just apologie… only Chuck Norris can beat the sun
My skin is only kissed by the Moon because I am the color of olive oil mayonnaise.
Yes, I’ve had it- finally took surgery. It’s very common. Look for: Itchy scaly patches, a mole that suddenly changes in size, shape or colour. Mine presented as a clear zit that itched. Cuts that don’t heal. Any mark on the skin that appears- it’s a good idea to routinely look over your body. Sunscreen needs to be reapplied frequently if you are perspiring and every couple of hours. I used to think if I put on sunscreen that I was good for the entire day! Anyone, at ANY age or ethnicity can get skin cancer. If you can’t stand oily products look for a dry feeling sunscreen!
I once got called a um... another name for a lit cigarette... for riding a bike and actually stopping at a stop sign. I was so surprised, all I could do is stare at them with raised eyebrows. That's probably not the reaction they were expecting. Incidentally, I almost got run over at that same stop sign, because a motorcyclist *didn't* stop at the stop sign when I was crossing the street. I guess I have too much faith in people to honor the social contract.
Jesus f*****g Christ are you serious right now? So much ignorance in one small paragraph. Putting sunscreen on isn’t “living in fear.” It’s taking care of your skin.

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'.
