Sometimes it seems like the universe is laughing at us. No matter what we do we're left looking like the fool and feeling embarrassed (although hopefully, it's small enough that we can laugh about it later). These people were on the receiving ends of some hilarious burns, and it doesn't seem like they'll be laughing anytime soon. These photos are a reminder of why you shouldn't go messing with the universe, it's always going to have the last laugh. Check out these photos and get ready to go "OOOOOOH!" as you see what verbal burns these people have coming their way.
If You're Happy & You Know It
This Australian lost one arm and broke the other. So, his buddies came up with an evil plan to give him this T-shirt. Round of applause for his thoughtful friend!
The best part is that he is wearing the T-shirt like a champ. Aren't friends a blessing?
Someone's Day Was Ruined For Sure
It can be infuriating to get splashed by a car or bus, it ruins your whole day. You have to feel bad for this person.
Hey, laugh all you can at someone who had a horrible day, but you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this scenario. Don’t beat yourself up, we laughed as well.
"If A Crime You Commits, I Sits."
As the police caught someone, it was CAT-astrophic for him. The kitty is like, "It's okay officer, I got him. No need to call for backup anymore."
You can say that the culprit is catnapped. Now they have to wait for the cat to finish his nap before taking him in.
When Nature Trolls Humans with a Rerouted River
In 1998, Honduras built a bridge over the Choluteca River. But then Hurricane Mitch was like, "hold my beer," and rerouted the river.
It turned from a bridge to the world's longest diving board. Now they can say, "The water IS NOT under the bridge."
He Nailed It. Literally!
In 1957 Richie Ashburn hit a foul ball in the stands that struck spectator Alice Roth, a sports reporter's wife, breaking her nose. When play resumed Ashburn fouled off another ball that struck her while she was being carried off in a stretcher.
By the way, Richie Ashburn did visit her in the hospital and luckily, she wasn't mad and saw the humor in it. Who wouldn't?
Bye Bye Joe
You can tell from this sign that Joe was super careless about the safety of his coworkers. Everyone to this day wonders: Where did he come from? Where did he go?
Imagine the look on their faces if Joe comes back. Joe will be like, "Oh, like you guys never made any mistakes!"
A Turtle of Destruction
This is the Usain Bolt of Turtles. And no, it is not a Ninja Turtle. It is just a cutie trying to make it back home.
In case you are wondering if the turtle was saved, he/she was removed from the place and cleaned the poor thing off.
When The Phone's Battery Died
This guy took two weeks off work, went to Africa, climbed Kilimanjaro, and raised over E300 grand for charity. After climbing for 7 days, he reached the summit and asked the guide to take a photo of him. At the time the photo was being taken, the guide ended up putting his finger right over the lense!
All we have to say is that: nice pants. Legend has it that they never saw that guide again (just joking).
Never Underestimate A Woman's Wrath
This is as badass as it can get. That Steven guy really deserved it and we're so happy for Emily. However...
There must be a random dude in that city, also named Steven, who also has a wife, also called Emily, and is currently hyperventilating trying to call his wife and tell her that he has no idea what she's talking about.
Hey, Don't Leave Poland Alone
Poland is a beautiful country filled with lovely Polish citizens who are known for their hospitality. It is also one of the safest countries in the European Union. Then what is this?
It seems like everyone is indeed walking away from Poland. What did they do? Is it because they put pineapple on pizza or is it just a rumor?
You Won't Be-Leaf This Story
There is a Banyan tree in Pakistan that has been officially arrested and chained since 1898. Yeah, it is true. This unbe-leaf-able event happened when James Squid, a British officer, thought the tree was moving towards him.
Unfortunately, the tree couldn't afford a lawyer. It is illegal to arrest someone (or something) for this long without a trial?
That's Not An Unintentional Accident
This person's mother-in-law served them a piece of cake with a clear one-word message written over it.
One can assume that the mother-in-law really hates this person. And did she serve it with a smile on her face?
That's One Lucky Nurse
Violet Jessop, a ship nurse, served on each of three 'sisters': Titanic, Britannic, and Olympic. While she was on board, the Olympic collided with a warship and almost sank.
And we all know what happened to Titanic, and the Britannic hit an underwater mine and sank. She survived all three.
No Waffles For You, MOMMY!!!
That's one cold-blooded kid out there. We didn't find it surprising as kids will break your heart in so many ways you can't even imagine.
Maybe she wanted to serve something else as well and was in the mood to play out a scenario, which could happen in a restaurant. Such as, "We don't have this anymore. But you could try our famous fresh pizza."
Royal Facepalm Moment
In Thailand, it was considered a capital offense, punishable by death, if someone touched the queen. This backfired in 1880, when the queen drowned when her royal boat capsized on the way to the palace.
However, none of the witnesses to the accident dared to touch the queen while she was drowning.
It Must Be a Psycho-PATH
This person woke up to find that someone stole their garden path. Maybe they were like, "Hello- 911? Yeah, someone stole my sidewalk," and the operator must be like, "Ah, sorry. We are busy helping arrest a tree. Could you hold, please?"
So it is true that thieves are just normal people who have taken the wrong PATH!
The Ring With a Timer
Here is an interesting story. The diamond in this lady's ring fell out. It came with a 10-year workmanship guarantee. However, the day before it happened was their 10th wedding anniversary.
This is why you should get fine jewelry checked yearly. Sometimes stones get loose and they can be fixed and cleaned before this happens.
No Soaps and Eggs for You Richard
This one escalated quickly. We have a feeling that Richard acted like a jerk. Too bad he can't have some of your precious soaps and eggs.
By the way, the chickens are illegal in some places as they require a permit because of noise, smell, and coyotes.
It Happens Every Single Time
You clean your home and there is always one line of dust that shows you the middle finger – it can be pretty frustrating. You could use a tiny vacuum or a wet towel to clean that line of dust.
Almost everyone gives up and just spreads it out saying, "You won this round dust."
Which Hurricane Name Should Be Next?
Australian meteorologist Clement Wragge had a brilliant idea when, back in the early 20th century, he decided to name hurricanes after politicians of the day who he hated. They should do it with current politicians as well.
Unfortunately, we are going to need more hurricanes. We have a surplus of names.
You Can't Escape Death
This man survived the sinking of a ship in 1871. He would have died, but miraculously, he survived. The incident left him traumatized and it took about forty years for him to overcome the fears and sail again, only to die on the Titanic.
We feel bad for the poor guy. Some may say it is because of Violet Jessop (the lucky nurse we showed earlier in the list).
When The Airline Trolls You
This woman paid extra for a window seat and got the one seat on the place with a wall.
We believe that people who don’t appreciate the views don’t deserve those window seats. They deserve these wall seats. Out of all the other people, this woman should've gotten her window.
Best Advertising Ever
This is how you handle the situation when the odds are against you. We bet many people will go in just because of the sign.
If you ever get an unfair negative review on Yelp, you can embrace it and use it to your advantage.
That's One Impressive Toss
Well, that escalated quickly. We can't really blame the driver though. We'd like to imagine that the bike has done this more than once and was fairly warned. Or may the driver could've just moved the bike 5 feet over into the grass.
We do want to see the photo from 22:35 - car up a tree and bicycle back in the space?
The Man Who Survived Two Atomic Bombs
Tsutomu Yamaguchi was a Japanese marine engineer who was working in Hiroshima when the city was bombed. He survived and returned to his employer in Nagasaki three days later. As he described how a single bomb destroyed Hiroshima, his supervisor berated him as "crazy".
And then the second atomic bomb hit Nagasaki. He is the only know survivor of both bombings. Poor man, he must have seen a lot.
Well Tom McEldroon, Everyone Knows!
This is a universal facepalm moment for sure. One thing we know for sure is that he is not so anonymous now.
He asked but nobody listened. It is a simple case of Request Received and Denied.
Get It Together Abby
Okay, we get that they want Abby to show up for work, but why on earth are the "B's" upside down?
Maybe that is Abby's job and she didn't show up for work. Abby needs to take work seriously.
Well, Someone Got Fired For Sure
Ah, the law of probabilities never fails to amuse us. We're really sorry, but this is funny. We think that there is no need to get offended by other languages.
It seems like she took it way too personal. It is probably better than one that said, "you suck."
He Needs to Go Back
Ian Jones, who is originally from the Isle of Wight, was bitten by an Indian black king cobra. He survived dengue, coronavirus, and malaria during his visit to India.
By the way, he was out there to do charity work. We feel for him as he was only trying to do some good for the people living in poverty in India.
Truth Has Been Spoken
John is that guy who sits around doing NOTHING in a group project at school. It would be really fun if John made this sign.
We hope John Cena doesn't take this joke seriously and goes out there to teach them a lesson. They won’t even see him COMING. This joke doesn’t and shouldn’t concern John Cena though.
Wrong Warning
Canadian geese: nowhere near as polite and accommodating as their name would lead you to believe.
The warning sign says, "keep walking" instead of "keep running." Maybe they need to update the sign to show a picture of geese with two words: "Run. Seriously." Honestly, we don't blame the geese because the human was warned.
Some Birds Will Do Anything For A Selfie
The little birdy flew right into this person's face and fell to the ground. Hopefully, the bird is okay (and the guy too, we suppose).
The bird is like, "I did it and I'll do it again." And is it one of those angry birds from the game?
Unrelated News
The husband was like, "Hey honey, we're going to be on the front page." And the front page of the newspaper was like, "surprise!!!"
After seeing this bad headline placement, we seriously don't want to be on the paper anymore. It could ruin lives.
The Right Man for The Right Job At The Right Time
Ben Sliney was one of the US Federal Aviation Administration's National Operation Managers on duty on the day 9/11 happened.
He was the right person for the job. He also has one of the most unbelievable answers to the question of "where were you on 9/11?"
Picked The Wrong Parking Spot
Oh boy, this is not a pretty sight. This person picked a bad place to park their car.
You would hate having to be the person calling into work for this and explaining why you can't come.
Guide 101 On How To Flip Someone Off With Words
This was one big burn. We all laughed hard at this one, and so did Brad.
And RIP Alex Trebek (one of the finest game show hosts and television personalities). He was a person with a fantastic attitude and a great sense of humor
Don't Worry, Yuna Song is a Child
So these are the credits for the movie The Interview, and a quick Google reveals she was the little girl who sang the "North Korean national anthem" at the beginning of the movie.
The girl is underage. That’s why they didn’t call her one of the hot ones (thank God they didn’t). So, it is not offensive. Don't worry!
Hitting Two Fingers with One Stone
This person spent 28 years without breaking a bone until a giant stone slab riddled with wood screws crushed and impaled both his middle fingers.
We don't know what we should do - laugh or feel bad. But we know one thing for sure, that it is not a nice way to thank your doctor!
They Have BEAN Forgotten
This person opened a can of beans only to find no beans at all. This person has bean bean-boozled as he found no beans!
We can do this all day long. Okay one last one. We feel for this guy because we've BEAN there.
Bad Things Happen to Good People
Dr. Jared Burks is an Arkansas doctor who stayed in his home to socially distance from his wife and child. After their house was destroyed in a tornado, countless strangers rallied to help the doctor's family.
They even set up a GoFundMe for the Burks family with a target of just $2,500. In just two days, more than $113,000 were raised by strangers.
Kids Remember Things
By now she doesn't care that this Wes guy remembers it. This Wes guy seems like a real jerk. So he remembers someone’s embarrassment and is proud of it?
At least that was only one class. One guy did that on a national TV quiz show. The host's reply was "for reasons that I'm not going to go into, I'm afraid I can't accept that answer".
Could Things Get Any Worse?
We feel sorry for the poor girl. It seems like a scene out of the Final Destination movie right there. By the way, in the movie, people who escape death start to die one by one.
They put her on the ground unattended, then she was covered in firefighting foam which the rescue fire truck couldn't see.
A Wasp Rolled Over By A Train
Should we feel bad for the poor wasp? It seems like the wasp was already dead and someone put it there. Maybe the wasp was drunk or something. It is sure a buzzkill.
Now we just wait for him to pop back up and retain form suddenly, like in Looney Toons.
We Want To Read That CV
We really want to know what was in the INFORMATIVE AND LOVELY CV. The good thing is that she isn't much concerned about it.
At least they were honest about it and gave a reply - most people don't even bother. They should have told her why they don't want her to work with them.
With That Haircut, He Deserved It
This is Pope Formosus, the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States. When he had been dead for almost 7 months, he was removed from his tomb to be propped up and put on trial. Yeah, and his corpse was found guilty and was stripped, had three fingers removed, and reburied. That's not it. His corpse was then dug up once again, tied to weights, and thrown in a river.
That hairstyle itself was enough to put his corpse - and his barber too - on trial and convict them both of heinous Crimes Against Hairmanity.
When Your Bones are Made of Glass
How do you know it wasn't another friend of the guy who broke all those bones?
What this commenter didn't mention is, "the kid grew up to be Jackie Chan. And he subsequently broke every other bone in his body."
If A Water Main Breaks Near Your House
Now THAT is one heck of a sprinkler system. Five minutes and you are good for a month. It is like a free home power-washing system.
This could have been a lot worse if it was winter. Or if they had a big party planned before the incident happened.
