40 Times People Failed To Understand Instructions And It Resulted In Hilarious Mishaps

You would think someone would double check before making the sign, just stick it through google translate.

I always want cake!

(sigh)

Don't look at the nails ;_;

In Australian English, to ‘cark it’ is to die.

I love that they used this anyway, brilliant!

I've actually seen this happen! Not exactly what the delivery instructions box is meant for, it just gets processed by a computer, not read by an actual person. Well, maybe the delivery driver should read it, but how often do they actually?

The little print😀

At least there’s a cake

Plot twist: Her real name is "Associates Name"

This is the most '20s thing ever

You had one job

Wow! This is awesome, even if not what was ordered, I would love to receive that!

Can't even spell Arabic right, let alone write it in Arabic!

Works great as a pun

Ah, I see, a birthday cake for all generic people at once. It might need to be bigger.

I mean, well done. That's a lot of text

How did this get past the draft stage with approval to be printed???

Those ears!

Let me guess. The relatives don’t speak English. Reminds me of the posers getting those tattoos in Chinese or Japanese to look like they’re tough, and finding out the writing actually says something like “I am a huge moron”.

🤣🤣

well, they DID mention it.

They did correct it! Good job!

And there aren't any at all!!!

Get a refund replacement and donate!

looks fake to me?

Brithday?

That's ok, just give it to Matt Le

Surely the person writing this would realize something's not right before or at least while they're making this? Or are they just using trained monkeys at bakeries these days as a form of cheap labour?

Instructions: Use your imagination.

For this, someone paid about $22. Society is doomed.

That poor person.

Who is Blurb, and do they still have a job after this? (/s, duh!)

Bad blurb!!!

It took three people to write that?!

If the Washington Post does that, don’t blame anyone anymore!!!

Wow.

They even got the extra Os in “toooo”.

Imagine if that was someone’s actual name.

And yet you gave it 3 stars?

Google translate says it means 'the same is written in Arabic'

What is that in the corner? It looks like grated cheese!

Now you know what to name it!

Almost sounds like an engraving on a tombstone. Wait! Tombstone Pizza!

you are so fired, Bruce🙄

Actually, I thought it was saying that the offer an alternative.

Oh for goodness sake. Do people do this in their sleep? Surely it’s only a tiny amount of common sense needed to realise that isn’t the text for the glass!

At least they got the caps right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually this is accurate, if the question "What do you want it to be engraved with?". Seems to be a person, who isn't paid for thinking.

What!

Taika Waititi is a well known actor and comedian, so this is extra special funny and kinda cute coming from one of his buddies. (Because celebrities usually get to have everything perfect, down to the tiniest detail, so an innocent mistake like this, and especially the gracious way he told them “you’re welcome”, makes it stand out.)

I’d display this in my home, as a joke. “Made you look! Haha!”

Technically correct!

If whoever gave that instruction cannot, write their own “nice quote” or cite someone else’s all on their own, that’s a red flag that the school isn’t diverse, has no clue about diversity, and merely pays lip service to the concept of diversity. Steer clear of Eastman School of Music if you’re not a WASP.

Hahahaha

Brown name problem, totally relatable.

So that’s what they’re calling it these days?

If Matt and I always kidded each other like this, I’d keep it as it was and present it to him, because he’d get the joke.
