50 Funny But Tragic Valentine’s Day Fails To Make You Laugh Through Tears (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Ah, Valentine’s Day! It’s supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. And for many people, it potentially is. However, it would be naive to think that everyone feels happiness, love, and passion on February 14. Far from it! Rejection is something that doesn’t take any time off, and it can sting even more than usual when it happens on this day. Nor do all your dreams come true when you like someone very much.
Our team at Bored Panda is featuring some of the most hilarious and tragic Valentine’s Day fails that have ever happened to anyone. These pics might not make your heart skip a beat, but they’ll likely hit you right in your meow-meow. Scroll down for a good dose of laughter through tears, a bit of secondhand sadness, and a reminder that even the best-laid plans can go awry.
Bored Panda wanted to learn how we can all handle rejection better, as well as how to show our partners that we appreciate them throughout the year, not just on Valentine's Day. We got in touch with Glenn Geher, Ph.D., who was kind enough to answer our questions. Dr. Geher is a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author.

Valentine Pie Fail
I spent hours today, working hard to make my other half apple pie with hand-cut hearts for the top crust. I admired her beauty as I slid it into the oven.
Then my hand touched the hot rack, I overrated, and flipped the pie onto the oven door. I nearly cried scooping up what I could salvage.
I so wanted it to be a show stopper, but on the bright side, my husband ate it just the same and said it tasted amazing.
Haha Happy Valentines Day everyone.

Ordered Pizzas For Valentines Day With My Boyfriend And They Were Delivered Like This
The driver must've crashed and rolled their car like 40 times and still said "well I've got pizzas to deliver on we go" or someone got pissed that they work a job and was scheduled on valentines and just decided to ruin our day. valentines grinch or accident, I'm upset.
Good news though, we called the company & showed them these photos and they offered to send us new pizzas for free so our day isn't ruined. I'm putting these in the fridge for when I feel like a depression meal.

Again...if you really want to show your SO you love them with flowers, DO NOT buy at Valentine's Day! Give them flowers on a random day in any other month. You'll save a fortune and it shows far more thought than doing what everyone else does on one commercial "holiday".

Well if you were eating near the Napa River, I can assume you're in the states, so this could very well be the most expensive date you'll ever be taken on.

Last year a guy dressed up as a teddy bear and went to a woman's home with a cake that said 'You're my reason to live' and balloons. She excitedly went out and... he proceded to arrest her and her family. It was a police raid in Perú, they've been selling d***s, a lot. Also they did the same in halloween dressed up like the Avengers and in christmas as Santa. Police in my country can be fun (sometimes)

Commercial con, complete waste of money. Buy gifts when you want to or think the receiver will enjoy them, not when shops tell you you're supposed to.
