Failure isn’t always a bad thing. Without it, we wouldn’t learn, grow, or have nearly as many things to laugh at.
And if you need proof, just take a scroll through There Was An Attempt, the iconic subreddit dedicated to efforts that didn’t quite make it. It’s no stranger to Bored Panda, and for good reason—people keep failing in ways that are way too funny not to share.
So, enjoy this fresh batch of attempts that didn’t go as planned, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

By Elon Musk To Increase Congress Pay While Laying Off Tens Of Thousands
Blah Blah Blah 8 months ago
Each congress member gets paid the same in one MONTH what someone on social security gets paid in one YEAR! That means Bob, a paramedic who worked for 15 years at a private ambulance company and volunteered at his local fire department gets diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease and can't work. Bob has no choice but to get on disability, a program he's been paying into his entire working life. Bob is now paid less than $1400 a month. That's just under $17,000 a year. Every member of congress is currently paid $176,000 a YEAR. That means Bob's income for the entire YEAR equals close to the same as 1 MONTH of pay for each congress member. Read that again and give it a good think!

To Hide Disgruntled Constituents
Shannon Donnelly 8 months ago
Town halls, by definition, are open to anyone who lives in the town. They aren’t meant to be political venues but are meant for those of the community to voice any issues they have. The fact that politicians have turned these community meetings into political events is the problem. The crisis is that they’ve now taken it upon themselves to physically remove people who speak up and disagree with them using private security that they have no right to use. Blatant first amendment violation along with with what should be a*****t since these are supposed to be public meetings and the “private” security company has no right to be there.

Thank you. When we're split into East America and West America after the next War, remember that there will alway be those of us fighting against the f*****t regime in an Underground.

You're probably not the only person who thinks that! Feel free to ask on a specific post; there's plenty of folks who'd be happy to add more context through comments. I've seen it spark some good culture sharing on here! <3
