30 Times Premature Celebrators Ended Up Embarrassing Themselves In Public (New Pics)
Interview
Please, for the love of God, don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Please, please, PLEASE! …oh, well, see, now you’ve done it—you counted ‘em. We hope you’re proud.
You may or may not believe in things like Fate and Karma, but you can’t deny that the Universe has a sly sense of humor. It likes irony. And it loves bringing arrogant people down a peg or two, as well as proving folks wrong just for the heck of it. Usually, in an overly-dramatic fashion.
The r/Prematurecelebration online community documents epic examples of people celebrating things prematurely, only to fail or be wrong. In a very public manner, no less. Scroll down for the most embarrassing cases and remember to upvote the posts that you enjoyed, dear Pandas. Bored Panda also got in touch with the friendly moderator team running the whole online community. They were kind enough to answer our questions.
If you enjoyed this post and would looove to see more people being wrong, check out Bored Panda’s previous feature about the ‘Premature Celebration’ subreddit right over here.

So Much For Sweden’s First Female Prime Minister
Jrog 3 years ago
She was elected on a technicality, lacking an actual majority since there were too many absentees in the election vote. Her administration proposed a fiscal budget, who was rejected and instead the opposition's budget was voted, once again due to absentees on the government party's side. The winning coalition split, and she resigned to avoid being in charge of a government without political support and bound to a budget written by the extreme right wing opposition. She was reelected a few days after by a narrow margin, only two votes. Her tenure was quite uneventful, with just some minor controversies sprinkled in. She was replaced last October, in favor of a right-wing coalition despite winning the popular vote by a 10% margin.

For those who don’t know him, he is Josh Duggar (aka Pedo). He m*lested 4of his sisters when he was ~14. The youngest sister was 2. Last year, he was found guilty of possession of CSAM. This year, he was sentenced to 12.5 years in federal prison.
Funny thing is she posted this like a month before his arrest.

A Confident Scam Artist
Historyharlot93 3 years ago
Of all the Ponzi schemes ever Ponzi-ed, these people are the weirdest. At least the Enron collapse and Bernie Maddoff were business men and looked the part. Why people entrusted their life savings to a man who looks like the weirdo living in their moms basement, and was having orgies in the Bahamas on their dime, is beyond me.

I'm so glad France lost, honestly. Nothing against the game in itself, and that team is pretty good. But this time I didn't watch anything of it, the whole thing in Qatar was way too controversial. And the French president so obviously tried to capitalize on it politically, that was getting indecent and embarrassing. That cup is better off in Argentina, where football is culturally important for the people on a completely different level.

The picture is a still of the last shot of the Fresh Prince of Bel-air. Kind of appropriate to reflect that those with the money disappeared and left the poor nephew of the family standing alone.

Not Even Two Hours Later

They certainly handled it better than the UK. Our prime minister missed 5 meetings to discuss and then took the 'wait and see' approach and waited far too long to go into lockdown by which time it was too late. It then came to light nearly two years later that while the country was in lockdown and not allowed to visit dying relatives or go to funerals, our government were having parties and laughing at us. They have still yet to make any sort of apology about this. Now the NHS is on strike because they are being denied a living wage and are buckling under the pressure and the government are gaslighting them and telling the public its the nurses that are messing up the NHS. I recommend watching Jonathon Pie's video about the current strikes in the UK. Hits the nail on the head.

Why does BP sometimes cut it's page after they've been published? This page was '58 premature celebrators' just a couple of hours ago. I commented on one of the photos, and now I can't see the reply because the photo I commented on has been deleted. I'm genuinely curious as it's a bit frustrating. I've noticed they've done this before?
