Sometimes things go according to plan, which is great. Other times we fail miserably, but that’s okay, too. And then there are the rare cases when we fail successfully, typically not even knowing how, and often resulting in some rather comical situations.

Plenty of such instances are shared on the ‘Task Fail Successfully’ reddit community, which proves that not everything in life is as black and white as failing and succeeding. Scroll down to find some bizarre cases of these gray areas and enjoy a good giggle; or confusion.

On the list below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with an expert in employee engagement, award-winning author and speaker, Eddie LeMoine, who was kind enough to answer a couple of our questions about the links between success and failure.

If you look at a pretty girl/woman, she looks pretty, right? Now look at her when she's not so nice to a co-worker, another student, her friends, etc. She doesn't look as pretty now. It's all in the heart.

Setup for a romcom. There is no twin. He’s straight but afraid to start something where he'd see her all the time if it didn't work out. So he plays both for while, becoming boyfriend and gay pal. You all can write the rest.

    It is by definition sexist, you've correctly identified that. However, you've greatly overestimated its risk. As a man, you'd only find yourself in 'big trouble' if you had previously portrayed yourself as a progressive thinker. In other circles, such behavior would be expected and could even garner respect. The double standard you're talking about is real tho, but far less universal than it seems.

    Boasting over 14,000 members, the ‘Task Fail Successfully’ community shows that far from everything in life goes according to plan. Be that as it may, going off a set course a little might end up benefiting the person nevertheless.

    “The journey toward success is rarely a straight path; it's often filled with unexpected turns and obstacles. When things don't go as planned, it can serve as a valuable learning opportunity,” author, speaker, and expert in employee engagement, Eddie LeMoine told Bored Panda in a recent interview. “This feedback mechanism—identifying what worked and what didn't—is crucial for personal and professional growth.”

    “Our achievements sum up all experiences, including successes and failures. These varied experiences enrich our understanding and enhance our problem-solving skills,” LeMoine continued.

    “In a world with countless variables and unpredictability, expecting plans to unfold without any hitches is impractical. What matters most is our ability to learn from these situations and adapt our strategies accordingly.

    “This perspective encourages us to view failures not as setbacks but as integral steps toward achieving our goals. Each challenge presents a chance to refine our approach, making us more resilient and better equipped to tackle future challenges. Embracing this mindset transforms apparent 'failures' into stepping stones for success, ultimately contributing to our overall development and achievement.”

    Discussing the instances of things not going the way one expected them to, E. LeMoine pointed out that it's crucial to remember that the path to success is not always linear. “Although it can be disheartening not to achieve the desired results, these moments are ripe with opportunities for learning and growth. Each unexpected result provides valuable insights that can guide our future efforts, helping us adjust our strategies and improve our approach.

    “Maintaining focus on our long-term goals is essential during these times. Setbacks are inevitable in any journey and should not deter us from our objectives. Instead, they should be viewed as temporary obstacles we can overcome with persistence and resilience,” the expert suggested, adding that we can navigate challenges more effectively by staying committed to our goals but flexible in our methods.

Female friend used to mooching chocolate off me (she's being a little playful, not as rude as this sounds), "You got something in your pocket for me?" Me: "I don't think you want it." Her: "I want it! What you got?" Me: "You wanna screw?" Her: "Dayum boy" Me: (showing her the screw) I hadn't realize what it sounded like. Took her several minutes to regain her composure.

    I think parents who name their child Dolores are sadistic. I hate it. Why name your poor baby "Pains"? Pleeease, don't. Life is hard enough without that curse hanging on you!

    “Failing a task successfully” does not call for a special talent, as, according to LeMoine, failing in general is inevitable on one’s path to success. “It's a crucial part of the journey,” he said. “It's hard to find anyone who has achieved great things without facing setbacks. Even professional athletes who dedicate their lives to perfecting their skills and strive to minimize failure experience it. Their setbacks don't define their careers; they serve as catalysts for growth and improvement.

    “If you're not failing, you're likely not pushing your boundaries or taking enough risks. Innovation and progress demand stepping into the unknown, where failure is possible. Like a child learning to walk, failure is not a signal to stop trying but a natural step towards mastering a new skill. We encourage children to keep trying despite numerous falls because perseverance leads to success. This principle applies equally to adults pursuing their goals.”

    According to the expert, recognizing that failure is part of the success equation allows us to approach challenges with a healthier mindset. “It's not about intentionally courting failure but understanding that when we aim high and stretch our capabilities, setbacks are part of the process. Each failure brings valuable lessons that refine our approach and make us stronger, wiser, and more resilient.”

    LeMoine emphasized that embracing failure as a necessary component of success enables us to navigate our paths confidently and determinedly and teaches us vital lessons that pave the way to our ultimate achievements.

    While failing is an inevitable part of moving forward, many can attest that it gets frustrating at times, nevertheless, and requires loads and loads of patience. 

    “Patience, much like any emotion, exists on a spectrum,” LeMoine pointed out. “On one end, we find emotions driven by fear, such as anxiety and stress, and on the other, emotions fueled by positivity, like happiness, passion, and excitement. Losing patience tends to shift us towards the realm of fear, a place where achieving our goals becomes significantly more challenging.”

    According to the expert, operating from a place of fear, anxiety, and stress can hinder our progress. That’s why when discussing tips for not losing one’s patience when things don’t go according to plan, he suggested working on shifting the emotional state towards the positive end of the spectrum.

    “One effective way to do this is by practicing gratitude. Gratitude is an incredibly powerful emotion that can transform our outlook and emotional state, helping us to focus on what we have rather than what we lack.

    “Additionally, focusing on your ultimate goal rather than the current setbacks is crucial,” LeMoine continued. “It's easy to become consumed by the frustration of not reaching your destination yet; it's important to remember that every step, even those that feel like missteps, is part of the journey toward your goal.”

    Malicious Compliance! I got that with an online order. There was an option of 'No Split Top Bun'. I clicked it thinking they would just give me the regular bun. Because why call out the specialness of the bun if there wasn't a regular bun alternative? And also, they wouldn't just send a grilled patty. Guess what? They did just send me the meat patty in a plastic container. Okay, yes, I see my error, but really? It's not a burger without the bun. A burger is ALL of the ingredients. Each ingredient is just as valuable as the next. It's a team effort.

I mean, they had ONE job, spelled out for them, and yet they still managed to mess it up!

    I can see what happened here. They replaced an older one by making a new one "to fit" the existing nuts. But they measured between the nuts as the width and length of the base, instead of taking that as the distance between holes. So they cut the base steel plate to the gap size rather than the hole size. Just my theory.

    One thing is for sure, and that is the bolts were there before the light post. This about the best the person installing this could do short of not installing it, and just reporting the problem so that they could either change the light post or drill and anchor new bolts.

    Like Diana said, this is a poll prompt on social media. Instagram, I believe, on the "story" kind of post. You can add a poll and put up to four options with a question. The person requested that the viewers of the story vote for each side a certain percentage (for whatever reason) but instead the viewers voted for each side the opposite of what was requested (probably out of spite).

    It isn't spite, it's a coincidence. You can't see the percentages until you've already voted. The game was for people to guess what other people chose and try to make it match the assigned percentages.

    I figured something to with these a while ago. They don't attract all kinds of flies. I experimented with rubbing them with different things like fruit juice (for fruit flies), and meat juices (for regular flies) and left one as is as a control. The first two were much more effective.

    Their depression begins when they are just old enough to realize who they are attracted too... and then, right at that moment, it isn't depression, it's fear. "Are my parents going to disown me? My siblings? My extended family? My friends? And then when you don't know those answers, depression kicks in, because honestly, you are scared to death to find out. This is all because of society and what you are "told" is "normal". Additionally, it's people like you that make statements that aren't true, which only continues to make matters worse.

    There's nothing like having your bugs fixed incorrectly. Why, the house would be overrun with larvae! I refuse to babysit.

    This one is reasonable. The bug here is not that it fails to load but that an incorrect error is displayed when it does fail. The intended bug has been fixed.

    I never make drive pools without a completely separate physical mirror drive of the same size because that s**t right there... always happens. Some drive breaks and the whole thing comes crashing down.

    Adobe in general. Remember back in the day having to have Acrobat to read PDFs and ONLY to read PDFs? They called it Acrobat and most of us only used it to read ONE SINGLE file type. It's like a human acrobat that can only do jumping jacks.

    Potassium. Bananas are for potassium and Oranges are for Vitamin C. I know they both have both but association in popular culture etc.

    Banana (100 gram): 9mg vitamin c, ~11% of daily amount. Orange (100 gram): 53mg. https://matkalkyl.se/se-banan.php

    Bananas are a good way to tell how much vitamin C you're getting from your orange.

    I knew a guy who thought the potassium in bananas was called bananatol. We never even corrected him.

    The sentence can also be translated as a generalized statement of fact: "Women and girls read." Turkish (the source language here) doesn't have definite articles like "the".

    In my experience, (1314 day streak so far) Duolingo doesn't care about the period. The mistake is using "women" where "woman" was needed.
