People Who Set Their Expectations Far Too High And Were Left Disappointed
We all go through life with certain expectations, but part of adulthood is learning that just because you have standards or expectations, it doesn't mean that they're always going to be met.
It doesn't matter if you paid for something or you spent hours of your life slaving away on a project, it still might not turn out the way you wanted. All you can do is laugh about it and move on.
The Brochure Lied
Either the waterfall was having an off day, or whoever designed the brochure has recently discovered how to use Photoshop, because there's no way that these are the same waterfall.
This should be illegal truly.
She Fell For A Facebook Ad
Anytime you get a targeted ad for a product like this, you should expect that it's probably not going to turn out well.
The reason they're running such a great sale or selling something for super cheap might be because it's not actually going to look like the photo.
We Wish You Hadn't Ordered That
Anyone who orders from Wish or other online retailers has to do so with a grain of salt and remember not to hold their breath, because more often than not, you end up with this kind of result.
I'm guessing this was not the look he was going for.
You Can't Taste The Rainbow Here
You'd think that if you were going to advertise a signature drink involving a sour rainbow straw, you'd make sure that the kitchen doesn't run out of rainbows, but licorice is cool too.
I guess?
It's All Mac, No Cheese
So you asked for extra cheese in your goldfish mac & cheese, but there seems to have been a miscommunication, and instead, you were left with no cheese.
That makes perfect sense.
Start With Something Easier Next Time
Pinterest is full of recipes that you're going to convince yourself you can definitely recreate because you've made a couple of batches of Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies in your lifetime.
But that's simply not true.
It Looks Just Like The Original
Before you pay a baker $100 to make a White Claw cake for your husband's birthday, you should probably ask to see some of their other work so you know if you're going to get what you want.
It pays to be on top of due diligence.
Seems Like A Fire Hazard
When baby-proofing your house or working to clean up the cords that are always getting tangled under your desk, you should aim to come up with a solution that doesn't potentially create a much bigger problem.
Like a fire.
We Don't Want To Tacobout This
The universe is punishing you for thinking that Burger King would be the best place to satisfy your taco craving on a late-night snack run.
You brought this upon yourself.
It's Kind Of The Ideal Scale, Actually
Think about it!
You bought the kitchen scale like your trainer told you to, but it doesn't have any actual numbers on it, so you can't be shamed for your giant portion sizes.
Feeding Time At The Zoo
If anyone who has three cats has ever told you that it's fun, they're definitely lying.
No matter how clearly you lay something out for them, they're going to take the hardest route.
Where'd They Pull The First Photo From?
If you're going to steal a photo from Instagram to use on your menu and then not deliver on the actual product for the customer, the least you could do is unwrap the Babybel for them.
This looks like something you make at 3am when you've been drinking.
The Dog Knows You Did Him Dirty
He would have looked so cute going door-to-door on Halloween, trick-or-treating in his adorable little pumpkin costume, but I guess the cropped sweater look has come back in style lately...
Go off doggo.
Did You Forget The Cake Part?
Are you sure that it was supposed to be a sponge cake?
The "after" photo looks more like overcooked lasagna noodles with the toppings scraped off, but you can try to convince us it was cake.
So It's A Bag Of Broccoli Bottoms
Technically, the bag never said that it was going to be full of broccoli florets as well as stems, it just said cuts of broccoli, and that's what you've been given.
This just feels so wrong.
Never Buy Snacks At The Movies
Oh, you thought that just because you were paying $8 for it at the movie theater, it was going to be good?
It looks nothing like the photo, and that's what you should've expected.
Dress or Bib?
These online fast fashion retailers just won't quit.
She thought she was getting a nice dress in her size but what she really got was a glorified napkin. Even if it does stretch, I can't imagine this is comfortable.
He Did Her Dirty
One woman on TikTok shared her vacation photo expectation veresus what she got with this caption:
"LMAO i asked my husband to recreate this picture i found on our honeymoon and he had the audacity to show me this 
"
Even The Expectation Was Scary
Quite frankly, even if this ice cream sandwich did look like the box, we would be a little creeped out, but we're especially creeped out by the reality that looks like the witch from Snow White.
Don't trust any apples you get from this guy.
As Pretty As A Princess
When has a face mask like this ever actually turned out looking like the picture that's advertised?
You always end up looking like you're wearing some version of a scary Halloween mask, and none of the design lines up properly.
"Can You Spell Out 'Happy Bday'?"
You always see people spell things out on pizzas in movies or TV shows, but in reality, it's a lot harder to spell out "happy bday" in olives than you'd expect.
I feel this deeply.
These Artist Types Can Be So Hard To Work With
The best way to pull off a themed baby photoshoot is to wait until your child's asleep.
You have to choose between having your child be awake for the photo and the photo being good—you can't have it both ways.
You Should've Sent A Vase
You can't always assume that someone is going to have a vase for the flowers you're buying them, but at least you know what to get them for their birthday next year!
Easy peasy!
People Never Learn Their Lesson
Do not trust any Pinterest photo or article that tells you how to recreate a perfect unicorn cake in 10 easy steps.
It won't be easy, it will take you forever, and all you'll be left with is disappointment and stale cake.
Some Assembly Required
Note to self: do not let your wife drunkenly order a cactus-shaped cat scratching post for the house without double-checking whether it requires assembly, unless you want to end up having to make it yourself.
How is this even possible?
Leave Them Wanting Moher
Unfortunately for tourists, we are not in control of the weather.
So if you go to Ireland expecting to see the Cliffs of Moher, you could get left staring into a sea of fog.
You Should Find A New Career
For anyone who ever thought that they could quit their current job to take up something easier like painting sidewalks, think again.
It's clearly much harder than it looks, or this person was just particularly bad at it.
It Was Supposed To Be A Teddy Bear
When learning to sew, you should aim low and go slow.
That's your mantra, or you'll try to tackle a project like making a teddy bear for your child, and you'll be left with a demon bear no one wants in their bedroom.
Stick To Making Snowmen
For some unknown reason, they were trying to make a gorilla out of snow, but instead, they made a deformed-looking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that is scary to basically everyone.
Touche.
Seems Like A User Error To Me
There are pretty clear instructions on those hotel pancake or waffle breakfast bar machines, so if this is what you managed to create, you have no choice but to blame yourself.
Then again, maybe the hotel shouldn't expect people to accurately follow instructions.
He Looks Like He's Afraid Of It
This particular online purchase managed to exceed expectations while also simultaneously failing because there's no possible way this little dog could tackle that bone.
And based on the look on his face, he knows that.
The Baby Is Just Along For The Ride
Quite frankly, as long as the baby is still happy, you can call this endeavor a success.
He's secure in there, he's happy, and you're able to carry him around hands-free. Take the win!
You're Better Off With No Frame
Correct me if I'm wrong, but usually, when you're choosing what frame to use for your picture, you would attempt to pick a frame that is the same size as the painting, right?
I'm just confused why they would buy this in the first place.
Ready To Hit The Slopes
You might be ready to hit the slopes on your family ski trip, but those boots are not.
Those boots are ready for some puddle jumping, but they aren't going to keep you warm or supported on the slopes.
Whose Bright Idea Was This?
Here's an idea: maybe you should focus on creating a product that actually does what you advertise, or at least looks like it's going to do what you claim it can do.
This is a legendary level of scamming.
Always Be Specific
You never specified if you wanted an innie or an outie for the heart, so you ended up with a dog that basically has no tail and clear view of his butt.
There is literally nothing else I'd like to see less.
Keep Him Tucked Away
Whoever thought that a child wouldn't immediately remove the smaller kangaroo from the pouch to check him out has clearly never designed toys for children.
This seems like a bit of an oversight on their part.
Portion Control
This German machine in a hotel clearly thinks that tourists are eating too many pancakes, so it's resorted to controlling the portions for you.
If you want them to look bigger, pick a smaller plate.
"Is This How You See Me?"
This cat looks like he's offended by the fact that you think this cake looks like him, and we don't blame him. We'd be offended too.
His body image has just been shattered thanks to this cake.
You'd Never Know The Difference
We all need to acknowledge that just because someone did it on Pinterest does not mean that we'll be able to recreate it.
If you've never made a teddy bear out of a ball of rice, don't expect it to be perfect.
It's Like a Dating Profile
If someone's photo on a dating app looks a little too perfect, it's probably because it is.
In this case, it was the photo on the costume website that tricked them into ordering a SpongeBob who looks like a homemade Halloween costume.
This Is Why Practice Is Important
Clearly, it was the smart idea to have your friend draw a practice tattoo using a pen on your arm before letting him give you a real tattoo, so you can wash away the terrible drawing and not go through with the actual tattoo.
I hope they never let this person near their body with a tattoo needle.
