Each day we face the consequences of our actions. Some might be funny, others—not so much. But the aftermath of events allows our brain to learn from mistakes. Research shows that when we repeat an action after an error, we take more time to evaluate the response. That does not eliminate occasional mishaps, though.

Some of them are so amusing or fascinating, it’s a crime to keep them to ourselves. We at Bored Panda have browsed an abundance of online posts and compiled a list of people’s best what happens when moments. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy these pictures, ranging from breathtaking natural phenomena to some pretty foolish human errors.

    Not American. Not state prosecutors. This was after repeated requests for a statement by the Crown Prosecution Service in the U.K., the dog is called P.C. Peach, that’s Police Constable Peach.

    This reminds me of when I was a support worker for adults with severe disabilities and a bank rang asking to speak to one of the clients I kept trying to tell them that she doesn't have the capacity to answer questions and they need to ring her family member who manages her account on her behalf but they were having none of it so I put her on for a minute and they soon got the message after being told gobbledegook.

    I am an interpreter. I have heard countless stories from Deaf people about how the hearing person on the other end of the phone could not fathom speaking through an interpreter and saying "no, I need their verbal confirmation". This is a violation of the ADA by the way.
