- [Narrator] Have you ever
asked someone to do one, just just one really
small, really simple job and they've still managed
to get it wrong somehow? Like, you ask them to load the dishwasher, and they think this is what you meant. Or you ask them to do the laundry, and find they've put an entire bag of pretzel sticks in with
the rest of the load. Well, if you thought that was weird, it's only about to get weirder. From incredible idiocy to
major misunderstandings, it's time to laugh at people who just had one job and
still managed to screw it up. (upbeat music) Okay, I want to introduce
you all to someone, this is Antonio. Antonio just helped put down this road. It looks like a real
solid, well laid road. Good job Antonio. Only there's a gate over there
that needs closing and er ah. Looks like Antonio didn't
account for the fact that adding a thick layer of asphalt to the ground might raise it to the point where the gate won't close over it. Aww man, I guess there's only
one question left to ask. - [Speaker] What do you think Antonio? - [Narrator] Did he just,
okay, that was either a very good chicken impression, or Antonio's just as confused as to how he missed
this as the rest of us. (whooshing) When you refurbish your bathroom, a plumber will usually
advise you on what materials to use and what size
everything needs to be. When unqualified people
who think they know better try their hand at this though, they can end up with
pretty obvious problems, like this guy, who installed
a fancy new faucet, but didn't consider the
angle of the new water flow. Ah well, who needs a sink when you have a perfectly good drain in the floor there. Now, I am not a handy man by
any stretch of the imagination. I have no idea how to fix a leaky faucet, or put up a set of shelves. That said, I think even
I know which way round a toilet seat goes, unlike
whoever installed this one. Man, I hope they had the
smarts to take it off and put it the right way round, otherwise this person's in for the dreaded
freezing-cold-porcelain-poop. (toilet flushing) But at least they gave
enough of a crap to try. Whereas the person responsible
for this absolute travesty clearly only gave half a crap. Okay, let's try and apply
some logic to this situation. Either this bathroom was
converted into two smaller rooms, and someone spent several
hours painstakingly and perfectly erecting
a well-fitted drywall around the toilet, which they
couldn't remove for reasons, or whoever's job it was
to install this toilet took the term half bath way too literally. I mean I guess it might
be sigh I'm at a loss, what do you think? For drywall disaster,
hit that like button, and for insane installation,
hit that subscribe button. All done, right, what other
jobs have people managed to mess up in the weirdest ways possible? (whooshing) Well, I wouldn't be surprised if whoever installed that toilet seat also put the plastic clasp
lid on this juice carton. C'mon, the opening's right there. The area's even blocked out in white, so you know exactly
where it's meant to go. To be fair, this was probably
a factory machine error that flipped the carton
the wrong way around during some part of the production line. But still, was the quality control manager at this factory blind,
or do they just not care about the freshness of a man's juice. Sometimes, if you can't trust
an idiot to do one simple job, you have to do it yourself. Except you can turn out to be that idiot if you don't check what you're doing, as this next guy found out. He decided he was going
to install a kitty hole into one of the doors in his home. Only, he didn't double check
which way round the door was before he cut out the hole. So, when he went to
re-attach it, this happened. (people chattering) - [Speaker] Well. - [Narrator] Well, I think
he's probably gonna pay someone to come fix this mistake. Either that, or this
cat's gonna have to learn how to jump six ft straight up. If you've been abroad, you
might have bought a T-shirt with the place you visited
emblazoned on it as a souvenir. Nice way to remember your trip, right? Okay, so riddle me this, where in the hell is this T-shirt meant to be from? For a start, that is an outline of Africa, famously an entire
continent, not a country. And second that says Asia. Which is an entirely different continent. I have several questions,
who designed this? Who designed this? And finally, who designed this? No wonder this thing was
found in the sale section. No matter how old you are
or where you come from, we all know Pikachu, the iconic little yellow
electric mouse Pokémon. At least, I assumed we all did, because whoever put together
this Pikachu Amiibo figure has clearly never seen
Pikachu before in their life. Somehow, they managed to switch the little creature's
tail and ears around, leaving it looking more like
a rejected Teletubby design over a Pokémon, suddenly, I
don't wanna catch them all. When people list products online, all they have to do is show a photo of what the product actually looks like and then send you that product. It doesn't sound hard, but it's easier said than done as Reddit
user Mattpond1 discovered. A fan of the stop motion
duo Wallace and Gromit, they ordered a cheap coffee mug online in the shape of Gromit's head. But what they actually got
was, well it was a picture of a Gromit shaped mug, on a normal mug. I can't tell if this is a
swindler trying to cash in on the weirdly specific
Wallace And Gromit mug fandom, or if someone genuinely thought people wanted a picture of a mug on a mug. Wait I think I've seen this
film before yeah, Mugception. (dramatic music) Road painters have
pretty straight forward, and weirdly satisfying jobs. Occasionally, the role
involves laying down tape or a stencil and painting
within the lines, or just pressing a button on a slow-moving line-painting machine to dispense a perfectly
unbroken line of paint. Now, I've never done this job in my life, but it seems pretty intuitive to assume that if there's something in the way, you should move it before
laying down the paint. Otherwise, you end up
with scenes like this. I think the biggest
insult to this bike owner is that they changed
the color of the paint while still spraying the tire. Would it really have been too much to just move the bike onto the sidewalk? Fairly certain it wasn't
super glued to the rack. And speaking of things that could easily have been moved out of the way
of a paint sprayer, really? Moving a few pieces of
dog poop was too hard? At least I'm assuming that's dog poop. Repairing a hole in a brick
wall can be a real pain. The bricks filling in the hole need to be cut to size,
and then everything has to be shoved into
place like one giant, heavy jigsaw puzzle. Clearly, that process was too much work for the person who was
asked to fill in this hole. It looks like they turned up, realized they couldn't fit
the bricks in length ways, and then played Tetris with them instead, shoving them in anywhere they'd fit and calling it a job done. Man, I hope nobody actually paid for this. Maybe I've been being too skeptical. Maybe these jobs are
too hard to get right. Or maybe, just maybe, people are stupid, because I don't know about
you, but I've never forgotten that the handle goes on
the outside of the mug. I really want to put this down to some sort of machine error, but mass-made ceramic mugs like this are mainly produced by hand
through a series of molds and firing processes. This is because the materials and designs are too delicate and complex
for machines to process alone. There's no button to push
that inserts a handle or folds the body of a
cup the wrong way round, that's all down to a human. So, someone must have put that handle inside the cup
deliberately, and I hate it. Now, back in my youth,
which was so long ago I swear I remember
dinosaurs roaming the earth, I used to have a part time job
at McDonalds making burgers. It was pretty easy; open
bun, squirt condiments, add relish, add a slice of
cheese, add burger, close bun. It is literally that simple. Though it looks like
someone over at McDonalds was trying to reinvent this process when they added the cheese to the outside of this fillet-o-fish sandwich. Was was lifting up the top
of the bun somehow too hard? Well, we shouldn't be that surprised, after all, someone else
working at this famous fast-food franchise had the simple job of flying the McDonalds flag. You know, the one with the
Big M on it that stands, pretty unmistakably for McDonalds. It's not a W for WcDonalds. Initially, I thought
this might have been part of McDonald's Women's Day PR stunt where they flipped flags
and signs all over the US to show their support
for women back in 2018. Yeah it was a pretty lame gesture considering they'd come
under heavy fire that year for sweeping claims of
female employee harassment under the rug. But this image was uploaded a good year before that
marketing initiative took hold. That said, maybe this actually
inspired the PR stunt? Ah, the cycle of stupidity continues. (whooshing) While putting a flag upside down is a simple mistake to make, forgetting an entire arch
from the famous golden arches is another level of dumb. Or at least it would be
if it weren't intentional. It turns out the famous golden arches logo originates from the 1950's
McDonald's building designs, which had two illuminated arches on either side of the roof
to make them stand out. The golden arches weren't
incorporated into the logo until 1962, and to this day, some 12 McDonald's locations, long standing spots that
have existed since the 50's, sport signs with just one original arch that used to make up the iconic buildings. But even with all that said, seeing the single arch makes
me want to call it NcDonalds. There's something about a popsicle shaped like a cartoon character that just makes it taste superior. Sadly, you don't always get
what's promised on the box, or at least, the guy who bought this Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtle ice cream didn't. Poor Raphael doesn't know
which way he's looking. Did the Quality Inspector responsible for this batch really give
this cross-eyed crusader the green light? Well, at least it has the
right number of gumball eyes, unlike Spongebob over here. Jeez, what kind of ice
cream is that I wonder? (person slurping) Tastes like nightmares. The little yellow minions
from the film franchise Despicable Me are so
popular that their designs have found their way onto
just about everything, from Crocs to pasta shapes. People have even baked
their designs onto cakes. Although this doesn't
always go to plan, oh gosh, why would you give it teeth like that? You had one job to make
a cute birthday cake from one of many designs, most of which don't have teeth and don't look like they crawled out of hell, why make it look like it's
half minion half meat grinder? Well, at least an attempt was made here, unlike what Reddit user
katznjeeps2 experienced. They asked a local bakery
to make them a cake in the shape of a Nintendo Switch console for their daughter's birthday. However, the order was passed
on to a different baker who, for some reason, wasn't
given the instructions. And so, what Katzn received was different. Okay, it might be a world
apart from what they asked for but there is an edible photo of the reference picture
of the Switch console Katzn took on the cake,
along with Katzn's knees and the very boomer image of someone taking a picture of the Switch. Just what every eight year-old wants. Now, our society isn't built well to accommodate people
with mobility issues. With that said, I don't think
that flipping a set of stairs over like this is the solution. Those ramps are so steep,
any wheelchair user will need to be on
X-Games mode to use them. What seems to have happened here is that these stair
sections came prefabricated and were wrapped up to protect them. Unable to see them, the installation crew had to guess which way up they
went and they guessed wrong. Well, it's either that, or these stairs were
designed by MC Escher! Now, even on a good day,
elevators cause me some anxiety because I'm kinda claustrophobic. However, I think I'd feel
at ease in this elevator, because someone as equally claustrophobic as me installed not
one, not two, but three open door call buttons. Wait, hang on, what if these buttons don't actually mean that though? Where's the button that
keeps the door closed? And which one actually keeps it open? Oh no, this has turned into a game of Russian elevator roulette. I think I'll take the stairs. We could all do with
getting a bit more exercise, but whoever fixed up
this bike in an attempt to cycle their way to health won't be going anywhere in
a hurry, can you see why? Yeah, those pedals are going
to prove difficult to push. You need the leverage
achieved by pushing down on one pedal to help bring
the other pedal around, which is why pedals are
usually set 180 degrees from one another. Anyone trying to ride
this bike would soon see how difficult it is to gain momentum without that all important leverage. Not impossible, but very
slow and funny to watch. You know what my favorite thing
about college football is? The cheerleaders. They're relentlessly happy, their routines are super preppy, and
their timing is immaculate. Now with that said, not every
cheerleader gets it right. As the Notre Dame Fighting
Irish know all too well. Oh boy. To be fair, this cheerleader had probably been
flipped around in the air so many times by this point in the match she might not have known which way was up. Gimmie an O, gimmie a
G, what does it spell? No seriously, what does it spell, I'm too dizzy to think good. Okay, pop quiz, what are the
key components of a fork? A handle, a flat top
section, and prongs, right? Now, someone please explain who forgot one of those key principles when they were packaging up
the guy on the right here? Well, a lot of cheap cutlery production is fully automated these days, but the majority of cutlery manufacturers require a human assessment
for assured quality control. So, either the person in
charge of quality control was, I don't know, napping that day, or they were purposefully
trying to make tiny shovels. Somehow, it's the jobs that are done ever so slightly wrong that
can be the most infuriating. Don't believe me? Take a look at this. In this sea of perfectly
aligned floor tiles someone really couldn't be bothered to turn this tile degrees to
fit the pattern of the others. And now, the rest of us
are mildly frustrated. Which is really frustrating. But not half as frustrating as the tactile paving on this train
platform in the UK is. I want to scream, I double checked if there might be an
accessibility reason for this, but UK trains and their
carriages are different lengths, so this is definitely not a
designated gathering point for the visually impaired. Which leaves me asking why
oh why could this section not have been rotated
around to match the others? Okay, I need your help with this next one, because I can't figure
out which job went wrong. Did someone install this
public rest room dryer here an inch away from the top of the cabinet, for I guess, jokes? Or was the cabinet
installed after the dryer, and while deeper than first expected, it was just put there anyway? No matter how I look at it I
just keep getting mad at it. Someone knew what they
were doing and didn't think to put the dryer somewhere else? Or install the cabinet
somewhere else so the dryer isn't useless? I guess the head of that
dryer is designed to swivel, but that's not the point. Orange cones or traffic
cones are often used to cordon off areas that
are about to undergo work. And when that work commences, it takes just one person to remove them. All they have to do is
move them out of the way. Such a simple, easy task. What could possibly go, oh. Well, ;et's be fair, two people failed at the one job they had here, someone didn't pick up the cone, and the other person thought
it was completely acceptable to lay concrete around it. Looks like this poor thing
will be forever a cone. What does the word private mean to you. Maybe something like
protected or exclusive? In which case, I'm
struggling to figure out how the fencing around this
supposedly private pool is private at all? Despite having a carefully installed gate, complete with a pin-coded entry pad, a knee-high wall is all
that separates people from the other side of the gate, rendering it entirely useless. Surely the designer realized there'd be a whacking great hole next to the security provision
they were putting in place? Or maybe the contractor installing
it would have told them? Whoever's fault it is, it's safe to say this
is a public pool now. (water splashing) Does anyone watching know more
than one or two languages? Because I could use your help translating exactly what in god's name
went wrong with this product. In english, these are
Glow-In-The-Dark stars, a kind of decoration
that contains phosphors, which radiate light after
they've gotten energy from a source of very bright light. They can make your ceilings
look like the night sky when the lights are turned
off, making them a pretty, and undeniably star-shaped,
decoration, right? Well, not according to
whoever translated their name they're not. The first translation is
next to a German flag, but sous-marin is actually
French for submarine. Likewise, the German translation is next to the flag of the Netherlands, but 'tauch-u-boot' means submersible? Maybe we'll have luck with the third one which shows either the
Italian or Irish flag next to a Dutch word and goes one step further
to mean diving submarine. But all submarines dive. Without the diving
element, a submarine isn't, it's just a boat. Basically, none of these translations mean glow in the dark stars. Think it might be time this
company fired their translator. Call me a purist, but I
prefer a paper back book over an e-book, they
might be more expensive, but you know where you
stand with a real book, at least, I always assumed you did, considering someone added
in a passage on this page encouraging readers to click here for a free audio book download. Sorry to disappoint whoever
thought this was a smart idea, but you cannot click a book. In all seriousness though,
this is likely a bootleg book that's been downloaded from an e-book file and printed illegally in the
hopes of turning a quick buck. If only these thieving idiots had read a few more books themselves. (music whooshing) Now, you might be old
enough to remember a time before wireless earbuds, AirPods,
and Bluetooth headphones. These were the dark days
of the wired earphones, where if you put them in your pocket for even a second, they'd
come out in a knot so tough it'd make a sailor cry. There was only one thing worse than the inevitable earphone knot though, and that was buying earphones that had been assembled by someone who clearly hadn't been paying attention. The jack and earbud of these earphones have somehow been attached
the wrong way round. And before any kids try and
tell me these are VR earbuds designed to plug in and reach
around massive headpieces, these earphones came with a 2000's Sony Ericsson Walkman phone. You remember Walkman, right? The thing we used before Spotify. That's right, there was a time
before Spotify, shock horror. The saying goes, 'if you fail
to plan, you plan to fail. However, even if you study planning at Ball State University, Indiana, you might still fail. If the sign over the
College of Architecture and Planning's loading dock
is anything to go by at least. Wow, it's such a bad joke you'd
think it was photoshopped. But it was real. Yep, back in the college
building was expanded, changing the size of one of the entryways to transform it into a loading dock. When contractors asked
the Dean if he wanted to have the letters above
the entrance respaced, he said "no, it's just a loading dock, stick any extra letters on
the wall, it'll look funny. Sadly, the sign was later removed following another refurbishment. Man, you gotta love college life. So, there are a few key rules
when installing electrics. Number, make sure there's no water around. You don't need to be good at math to know electricity plus
water equals danger. Number two, make sure
everything's turned off at the mains before you
start drilling through walls or changing cables. Your body plus live wire equals danger. And number three don't be stupid. Because stupidity plus
electricity equals this. Someone genuinely installed
a socket panel across a door. Are they expecting
people to limbo there way out of the room now? Well, I'm no master electrician, so if anyone experienced
out there has any idea why someone thought this was a completely normal thing to do, please, please let me know down below. Now according to the history books, there was a man who always
had more than one job, and he still managed to complete
all his tasks perfectly. That man's name? Jesus okay, maybe not the history books, but definitely The Bible. When he wasn't busy feeding
the 5000 with fish and bread, he was turning water into wine. He's even doing it to this day. Don't believe me? Then explain this aisle in
a British grocery store. That sign clearly says water, but all that's stacked beneath
it is row after row of wine. Consider this proof that
Jesus shops at Tesco. Or more likely, someone
reorganized the shelves and forgot to change over the signs. At least, I hope that's the case, otherwise I dread to think
what the fish section and bakery aisles look like. As a guy, I'd argue
that peeing in a urinal isn't something you
necessarily need a stall for. Sure, a little privacy is nice, but providing no-one's rubbernecking over to get a good look, you
can get your business done without feeling too exposed. Going for a number two though? Oh, you need a stall. Imagine walking into the restrooms and locking eyes with
someone with their pants round their ankles, grunting and straining their way through a brutal bowel movement. Nope, no thank you. However, this clearly wasn't the logic being employed by whoever
approved the installation of this stall. I want to say the contractor
should have realized this was so very, very wrong, but it's more likely
that the person in charge of verifying the plans and
taking stall measurements was at fault here. Not realizing the urinal and toilet were the other way round. Well, this urinal certainly
puts the P in privacy. Which of these jobs do you think you could have managed
without screwing up? And do you have any stories of your own? Let me know down in the comments below, and thanks for watching. (gentle music)
