Nobody’s perfect, and we all make mistakes, but while people are generally willing to forgive, some blunders may be so absurd and hilarious that they deserve shaming. At work, people make mistakes when they’re distracted, and research shows that even a three-second distraction can cause people to make twice as many mistakes when they return to the task at hand.

Well, judging by that, the folks who ended up on this list were probably distracted for way longer than just three seconds. These funny fails come from the Facebook page “You Had One Job” and feature mildly annoying pictures of something or someone doing a questionable job of executing a task.

    Where the h*ll did a llama wander off from in Etobicoke (the western portion of the city of Toronto)? They cannot legally be kept as pets within city limits, and there are none in any public attractions in that area. The closest possibility would be the High Park Zoo, to which this animal was hopefully returned (or introduced, if she had been kept privately in violation of city bylaws). I am aware of highly publicized cases of capybaras and peacocks having escaped from High Park, but I can't recall the news ever covering a runaway llama (though they certainly have some, and they would be accustomed to being around people; my son had a chance to meet and feed them once while attending summer camp at Colborne Lodge, also in the park).
