Regular jobs can get pretty darn boring. These employees made some hilarious mistakes at their mundane jobs, and we get to reap the laughing benefits. Take a look at these pictures!
Technically The Same Thing
What’s the difference between a cob of corn and a watermelon? While the answer might be obvious to most of us, there’s an employee out there who still hasn’t quite figured it out. They do both grow in the ground and they’re edible… but then again, I’m sure we could name a bunch more things with those characteristics.
Technically The Same Thing
There’s No ‘I’ In Team
You’ve certainly heard this from your former teachers and coaches – “Kids, there’s no ‘I’ in team!” They were right on the money, but do you know who wasn’t? The cheerleaders who put this sign together. “We’ve got the spirt, yes we do! We’ve got the spirt, how about you?!”
There’s No ‘I’ In Team
Dedicated Worker
There was something about Tony and his adamance to do his job thoroughly. He was told to paint a double line all the way up through the neighborhood, and that’s exactly what he did. There was never going to be an unconquerable obstacle for this determined worker.

Limbo Office
The interview for the Limbo Entertainment Club wasn’t particularly difficult. The most challenging part of the entire interview process was actually getting into the office. When hurdles tryouts started later that week, it was a whole different situation.

Winter Is Coming
This is what the winter rush sale looks like in Arizona. You can never be too prepared for the onset of the cold season, and this store is making sure that you’re covered. There were rumors that they might be selling closed-toe shoes too!

50 Shades Of Yellow
Listen, it could just be that the name of the brand is “yellow”. I would like to think that it isn’t, and that April’s Fools was nigh at this stationery store. For anyone who might be color blind, these crayons all look pretty right.

Flat Earther Calculator
Some things should never be contested. Let’s take the fact that the Earth is round – yeah, no-one should be arguing with that undeniable point. Another one is that a ton of bricks weighs the same as a ton of feathers. No argument there. The numbers 1,0 and 4 should all be rearranged here – no-one is arguing.

When You Take Your Boss Literally
It was her first day on the job, and we all know that first days require great first impressions. She didn’t want to veer away from the clear-cut instructions her manager had given her. You might say that she did exactly what she was told to.

Mass Flood Averted
When the heavy rains of November came, the city was obligated to fight the constant drainage issues. One might wonder where the best spot for a drain would be. You might think that the lowest point would be ideal, but clearly you and all of us were wrong.

Perfect For Birthdays
Marketing has really moved into a completely new realm. People aren’t just buying things that they’ve seen in magazines and in TV commercials. Now consumers are buying products they never have, and never will, see! This birthday suit is just one example of this strange phenomenon.
Perfect For Birthdays
The Far West
Sure, you’ve heard of the Far East, but what about the Far West? Many tourists flock to Thailand, Vietnam and Laos to get their taste of a different culture. This tourist picked up this very interesting t-shirt from the “Far West”. Some might say it looks like Africa. You might say that’s ignorant.

Don’t Mind Me
Do you know what this is like? This is like standing with a megaphone on the corner of a bust street shouting about how terrible the meat industry is… while you’re munching on a hamburger. You’re really trying to help, but you haven’t noticed just how hypocritical you are yourself.
Don’t Mind Me
From Sunday To Next Tuesday
If you’ve been living a 7-day week, man oh man, you don’t know what you’ve been missing out on. I wonder what two extra days would do for us? I mean we’d have to consider if those days were weekdays or weekend days. What would they be called? “Urday”? “Neptday”?
From Sunday To Next Tuesday
The Reason I Have Trust Issues
You know that feeling when you expect one thing and then get something completely different? Like when you take a bite into a chocolate chip cookie, only to find out that it’s actually filled with raisins?! That’s the worst! Well this ice-cream is exactly the same.
The Reason I Have Trust Issues
Ex-Employee To Be
Roger thought that it would be the last thing he did before wrapping up his shift. Well, he was right. It was the last thing he did for the company that day, and from then on too. We can’t imagine his boss was too pleased to see this pile.

April Fool’s Prank Level Expert
When April 1st comes around, pranksters always find a way to mess with the people they work with. Some do little things like removing the batteries of a computer mouse, but then there are others that take it to the extreme. Hot dog buns changed with hamburger buns is next level!

Not Remotely Interested
If you’re not going to be serious when you’re interviewing someone, how can you expect them to take you seriously? Are you ready for the worst dad pun there is? I’d say that the guy being interviewed isn’t remotely interested in the questions being asked. Har har!
Not Remotely Interested
Sounds Like A Party
You thought you were just going out for a fun day at the movies, so you didn’t expect this. This could look like two very different events. At the first party you might be invited to drink from the Kool-Aid, and the second? We’d rather not say…
Sounds Like A Party
Who’s Wrong?
I’ve heard people saying that when two people see the same thing from a different angle, they’re both right because it’s their unique perspective. That’s utter nonsense as you can see right here. One person thinks you should ‘stop’ to be safe; the other suggests a ‘sotp’.

Hotel Mutiny
The staff at this hotel had had enough with their manager’s pestering, so they took matters into their own hands. A simple sign was not going to deter the disgruntled staff from pulling off one of the most passive-aggressive attacks in the history of hotel aggression.

What Nightmares Are Made Of
If you’re looking for a fluffy toy for your kids, my advice is to take a skip on these guys. If you’ve ever wondered what makes kids’ nightmares, this is one of the greatest contributors. As we say, “they only had one job.”

When Water Prices Rise
Inflation is affecting everyone; no-one is spared. But as some things rise in price, others remain stable. So when water started to climb the price ladder, it was popcorn that didn’t budge at all. This might explain the popcorn in ice bags… might.

A Miss Is As Good As A Mile
I don’t think the instructions could be any clearer. There was literally only one place where a sticker should have gone, and guess what? It didn’t go there. Some say that “a miss is as good as a mile,” and we certainly can see how that’s true here.
A Miss Is As Good As A Mile
Please Finish Your Sentence
Cutting costs is an essential part of doing business. Sometimes saving money comes from finding more cost-friendly resources. In other cases it’s looking at areas that can use less of something. Unfortunately in this case it was the ink that should have been used to finish this hanging sentence.
Please Finish Your Sentence
When It’s 5pm
So many people come in to do a job and leave the second 5 pm comes around. This employee was supposed to fill the machine with some candies, but as the hour hand hit the 5, it was time to go. He was considerate enough to actually put the candy into the machine.
When It’s 5pm
It’s A Conspiracy
Do you know of or are you a conspiracy theorist? With so many groundbreaking events occurring all the time, it’s hard to differentiate between reality and conspiracy. The moon landing? Elvis’ death? Even the horrific events of 9/11. Is there by any chance something with China and the US?
It’s A Conspiracy
Death By OCD
This can actually burn holes into your brain if you look for too long. How could someone have gotten this so wrong? Even if the person responsible for putting these bricks in place was color blind, surely he could have seen the difference!
Death By OCD
This Is Bugging
Yeah yeah, I know it was an awful pun, but it was so relevant. It’s not like there was no picture on the packaging as a guide. Maybe we should try visit the packer’s psyche. There’s a great chance that he had arachnophobia and he refused to touch the tarantula toys.
This Is Bugging
Keep Your Kids Sharp
Something tells me that this packer spent his first day in his new department… it also turned out to be his last day. Keeping with the theme of “back to school”, he thought knives would be appropriate. Go figure.

Marketing Genius
One of the best marketing strategies out there is to confuse your target audience into buying something while thinking that they’re saving money. What they’re telling customers is basically, “don’t pay $9.95, but rather pay $9.95.”

It’s Really Difficult
Personally, I have no problem remembering which side right and which is left. Or at least that’s what I’ve chosen to tell you. I can totally get where this person is coming from. Left and right be quite confusing at times. Am I right?
It’s Really Difficult
Spelling Is Key
English is a difficult language with so many contradicting rules to remember. Spelling is never consistent and it’s because of that that we have so many typos on restaurant menus and signs. As you can see, you can find spelling errors in stores too.
Spelling Is Key
Well, It Is Mac ‘N Cheese
The new cook may have forgotten to add the cheese to the cafeteria’s famous “mac ‘n cheese mixup”. But he was quick to correct his mistake, but some might say the problem was with his execution. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, MAC ‘N CHEESE!
Well, It Is Mac ‘N Cheese
He’s Not Wrong
Have you ever tried to remember a word and you just can’t? No matter how much you wrack your brains, you just can’t seem to get the word you’re searching for. It’s on the tip of your tongue! Yeah, that’s what happened to this guy – “long yellow things”.
He’s Not Wrong
Playing Dead
They had one fish, and all they had to do was keep it alive. They should probably worry that someone will sue them for false advertising since the fish isn’t, well, you know, alive. I guess they could just change the first word there.

What Do You Want?!
This reminds me of a recent debate I had with my wife about where we were going to eat dinner. See, she wanted pizza, but then she wanted Mexican. I was easy so I agreed that we should go for Mexican. She changed her mind and wanted Italian, so I went with that too. Soon it was Indian…
What Do You Want?!
It Will Hold
It completely makes sense to put temporary solutions in place while permanent answers are being explored. I think that there are some cases where this shouldn’t be implemented. When a post holding up a building is involved, plastic wrap is probably not the answer.
It Will Hold
David Copperfield Is In Town
We’ve probably all seen that mind-blowing woman-cut-in-half illusion magicians have done. It’s pretty remarkable, but I’m not sure that it’s so impressive when it’s done on a billboard. Then again, this was probably not done intentionally.
David Copperfield Is In Town
No Excuses Now
This might just be the future of parking lots – spots that are multiple sizes. They also offer drivers the opportunity to park properly at any angle. There might be a few kinks in the plan, but for now it looks pretty solid.

Genius At Work
When it comes to jobs that include operating dangerous machinery, it’s best you take the proper safety precautions. As you can see, this hard-working man is not particularly riddled with the rules of safety.
