People Who Wish They Had A Time Machine
Sometimes, you just wish that you could back up a step and make a different decision. All the people on this list have one thing in common, and that thing is the feeling of crushing regret. Keep reading to see a dog that got robbed, the worst school photo, a blue finger, and a man who got into a fight with a porcupine and lived to tell the tale.
What things do you regret doing in your life?
Not As Advertised
This pool looked great on the Airbnb website, but when this guy arrived at the location, he realized that he had been tricked by some clever photography.
This pool is barely big enough for two people.
A Guilty Dog
This person accidentally left his headphones out where his dog could reach them. He didn't think that the dog would actually eat the headphones.
He was wrong. Now he's paying the price.
Instant Regret
This little girl wanted to go down the inflatable slide so badly. It was all she could talk about all day.
Then she actually got around to doing it and it wasn't what she expected.
He Got Stuck
Somehow, this dog managed to get his head stuck between two couches.
He probably should have thought about this possibility before he tried to squeeze through two very heavy couches.
That Didn't Work Out
Reddit user Shaynon17 posted this photo online along with the caption, "Let my dad who was a 'tattoo artist back in the day' tattoo me tonight...
It's supposed to be an A over a T for the Appalachian trail. It just looks like a wishing bone over broccoli. So I guess now the joke is I wish I had some broccoli."
Dragged Along
This person didn't realize that they closed their car door on their phone charging cord while their phone was still attached to it.
That iPhone is not having a very good day.
He Wants His Bone Back
This beagle let his brother have his bone for a minute, and now he very much regrets that decision.
This is the face of a dog who doesn't think that sharing is caring.
He Shouldn't Have Jumped
It's fun, they said. You won't regret jumping off of a building while attached to some giant rubber bands at all, they said. Well, they were wrong.
This guy doesn't look very happy.
Take It Again
This teacher really should have asked for a reshoot.
Now, this photo is going to be in the yearbook and in the hallway of her high school for a really long time.
One Blue Finger
This girl was dying her hair blue. She didn't realize that one of the fingers on her glove broke until it was too late.
Now she has blue hair and one blue finger.
Schools Should Do Better
If you're paying that much money in tuition, you really should be getting at least two-ply toilet paper.
What are they using all that tuition money for if not Cottonelle?
They Should Have Stayed At Work
This might just be a clever ploy to get on camera. Reverse-psychology always works.
Still, if these men didn't want their wives to know that they were at the game, they should have been a bit more inconspicuous.
Run Away!
This dog saw a white thing floating in the water and decided that it was a good idea to chase it. That turned out to be a horrible idea.
That white thing was a swan and it chased him right back.
An Appropriate Break
This Van Gogh mug could not have broken in a more appropriate place. Now the mug is missing an ear just like the real Van Gogh.
How is anyone supposed to hold their hot coffee now, though?
Wear A Mask
Someone was hired to make these giant masks, climb on top of this building, and put up the masks while balancing on a ladder.
All of that effort and they couldn't' even get the masks over their noses.
He Left Something Behind
It looks like the photocopier repair guy left something behind.
He'd better come get it before everyone at this office ends up with a sneaky screwdriver shadow on their paperwork.
What Button?
I don't know if there was ever a safety button there or if someone just put up this sign to make people feel anxious about a missing button.
Either way, I don't feel very safe.
An Upside-Down Door
This girl went through the trouble of making her cat a custom kitty door.
Then she realized that she cut out the hole on the wrong side of the door.
A Printer Accident
This guy was just minding his own business trying to print out some documents when his printer completely exploded right in his face.
Well, let's just hope that the ink is washable.
Crippling Student Debt
This guy just graduated from university. Everyone in his graduating class is a little bit smarter than they were before, but they also owe a lot more money.
Was it worth it?
Caught Dancing
This guy was living his best life out on the dance floor (after probably having one too many drinks) when the event photographer captured these photos.
He probably wishes that there wasn't photo evidence of this moment.
Right Before It Smashed
This guy decided to treat himself to a rather expensive bottle of whiskey, but before he could enjoy it, the whole thing ended up smashed on the ground.
This photo was taken a second before the tragedy.
The Importance Of Hyphens
This is why grammar is so important. A cup with a screw on top is a lot different from a cup with a screw-on top.
Poor grammar leads to strange loopholes.
A Clogged Sink
This person has a pretty big clog in their sink, apparently.
That cat thinks that he found a great spot to sit, but he's going to regret curing up there as soon as his owner turns on the tap.
Don't Stick Your Head Into Holes In Trees
This guy saw a hole in a tree and thought, "I wonder what's in there?" Then he decided to stick his head in that hole.
There was a porcupine inside, as you probably guessed.
Before And After
This person thought that they were making a cool Cthulhu creature out of pie dough.
Then they opened the oven, pulled out their finished pie, and realized that they had made his derpy cousin instead.
He Didn't Mean To
This is the face of a dog who got caught in the act. He didn't mean to rip apart that entire pillow. He just started biting it and he couldn't stop.
He has no self-control.
I Don't Think So
This table is not as advertised.
It may say that it can hold up to a thousand pounds, but I'm looking at it and it doesn't seem like it's up to the task.
A Regrettable Tattoo
This woman decided that it would be a good idea to have Edward Cullen's eyes tattooed on her back.
Twilight wasn't even this cool in 2008. She must have been a hardcore fan.
What A Way To Start The Day
This Norwegian person woke up, made their cup of coffee, and then made their way down to their home office to start the workday.
Unfortunately, they discovered they had left their window open the night before.
Not As Smart As They Thought
Before taking to the internet to point out your "brilliant new invention idea," perhaps you should do a little Google search first.
Just to make sure it doesn't already exist (and has for 100 years).
Always Read Closely Before Hitting "Send"
This person, trying to maximize efficiency, tried to pre-order her groceries ahead of time for pickup.
Unfortunately, she accidentally asked for one brussel sprout when she wanted 1 kg of them.
What A Crappy Night
Late the night before, this person meandered to their medicine cabinet and took two aspirin before heading to bed.
It wasn't until an hour later that they realized they had actually taken a laxative.
Perhaps Not The Best Punishment
As a parent, you're inevitably going to have times where you need to teach your kids a lesson using a punishment.
These parents definitely regret not thinking it through a little more.
Never Listen To Your Kids
This mom was at the grocery store picking up some necessities when she called her kids to ask them if there were still eggs, to which they replied, "lots."
She came home to see this.
Should've Paid More Attention To The Instructions
Although he doesn't know much about hair care, this dad wanted to help his daughter dye her hair purple at home.
However, he erred by telling her to "just take a shower" rather than rinsing out the dye first.
Perhaps Not The Best Way To Avoid Arrest
You know what? I've got to give the guy points for trying.
But I bet if he knew this was the outcome, he would not have attempted to commit a crime or wear this shirt.
You're About To be Proved So Wrong
A quick Google search could have saved this person from a world of embarrassment from all of their friends and family on social media.
But instead, they chose to bait people into shaming them. Sad.
I Bet They're Furious With Themselves
It's one thing to choose numbers and not even be close, but it's another entirely to just miss the winning set.
I bet this person wishes they could go back and choose just slightly differently.
She Really Could Use That Time Machine
This woman looked down at her hand to see that the diamond from her engagement ring had fallen out. Luckily, she has a 10-year warranty on the ring.
Unluckily, she and her husband just shared their 10th anniversary.
