83 Spectacular Facepalm Moments People Were Unlucky Enough To Have Documented On The Internet
Being embarrassed is a prerequisite of the human condition, yet each of us finds different things embarrassing. For example, one poll found that most Americans consider forgetting someone’s name the most embarrassing blunder. 22% disagree and say that the most embarrassing thing a person can do is forget their partner’s birthday.
If we’re lucky, our embarrassing blunders don’t get posted online. These folks weren’t so lucky; their cringy fails became the subject of online ridicule. Still, Bored Panda invites you to have a chuckle or two at their expense, as you scroll through the moments that had the rest of the Internet facepalming repeatedly.

I get that having a good rental history should also increase your credit score. But nobody is paying $950 a month for their house payment. That might be the mortgage, but there are property taxes and insurance. My current monthly house payment on my $200K house is $2200/month: Principal: 600, Interest: 460, Escrow: 1140. My property taxes and insurance combined cost $1100 per month. (I just discovered went up $500 per month in July and I don't know why yet.)

I have a storm door on my front door that swings outwards. I've gotten trapped a few times when packages got left right in front of it. I sometimes put a note when we're getting food delivered - if they put drinks on my doormat they get knocked over when I open the door.

Different context. If you’re are about to say something sexist, homophobe or transphobe it’s better you’re quiet. But if you see something wrong like the Epstein a***e and you don’t speak up then silence is violence.

Years ago, I and a co-worker did the facepalm moment. Lady was buying an x-mas tree from Lowe's. I and a manager were tasked with tying it to the roof of her car, but the lady wouldn't get out. So, in a fit of inspiration, we told her to roll down her windows, and we'd just tie it around the door post of the passenger side, and then driver's side. With that annoyingly strong plastic rope. It wasn't until she was happily driving off with the tree, that something dawned on me, and I asked my Mgr. "How's she going to open the car doors when she gets home?" We'd basically tied it such that, there was no physical way for her to get out of her car, without cutting the rope.
