Thank you internet for being a wealth of hilarious things to distract us from our mundane lives of paying mortgages or car insurance. We’ve gathered the strangest photos of construction fails that will make you look twice or even three times. Seriously, what were these contractors thinking? Please, have a look and let us know because we are thoroughly confused.
Bizarre Garage
These folks seemed to get a little ahead of themselves. Actually though, how could they possibly think a floating garage could work? Alright, we’ll give it to them, maybe they aspire to own a small plane. Or they’re just saving up for that driveway to be built. We can hardly imagine the car insurance payments after attempting to park in that garage!
No Where To Go But…Down?
Maybe it’s some sort of modern art piece? No, seriously, why and who? There’s not much to using a ladder, but it seems like an alien set this one up. Welp, you can only go down from here.
One Strand At A Time
Don’t worry, we’re just as confused as you. Apparently, this theater’s roof construction used a play on words. The Strand opted for a new hair style because strands of hair…get it? Yeah, this person should definitely does not have a future in comedy.
Stopped In Our Tracks
I’m sure these workers began on track, but they sure messed up big time! We sure don’t want to be there to hear the train metal scrapping up on that one. Worse than nails on a chalkboard! Better luck next time folks.
Sim City Amateur
If you were as addicted to Sims as we were, hopefully, you got the joke. But for real, it looks like someone plopped this down from above with their eyes closed. We just don’t understand. Please sir, where did you get your degree from?
A Peak Into Santa’s Route
Yes the chimney you see on the roof is real. Don’t believe us, check the useless window! Not really sure what the point of this fake window is, but I would recommend some curtains.
Saving Space
We’ve all been inside of a bathroom tighter than our pants after the holiday season, but come on people! Couldn’t you have placed the toilet just a few inches further from the sink. Who is that toilet for? Not even a toddler could sit there comfortably!
Measure Twice, Then What?
So you’re just in the drive-thru, starving, minding your own business. When..what’s that? Is it a yellow bar about to hit my car? Will my car insurance cover this?
Wait, just as you get closer…nope. It’s an actual tape measure. Some genius just never finished the job. Measure, measure again, and oops, well, I guess my work here is done.
Sassy Is Our Middle Name
Well, that’s a very humble comparison. Okay, but seriously, who approved this sassy sign? However, we applaud you for your assertiveness.
When Two Sides Can’t Quite Come Together
I guess it sounded better than it turned out. Meet you in the middle! I thought you meant my middle? Nope, this is a total fail. Maybe next time just start with one side.
For Bathroom Bonding
This is one way to get close to a buddy. Not sure it’s your best option for bonding, but to each his own. At times like these, it must feel good to be a woman.
They Took Our Jobs
We always hear about those precious jobs being taken from the well-deserving hard worker. Well, who do we see about this strange cone man taking the job of the person who holds the slow sign? Not cool man, not cool.
Scar Hunting Your Commute
Now, you keep singing his song, we know. What does a Scar warning mean exactly? Are there speed bumps or a wild stampede ahead? Well, anyway, all we know is we’re really excited for the new Lion King after hearing about the all star cast!
You Can’t Handle It
Yup, I went there. Even simple repair jobs have their unique challenges. Maybe next time they’ll go with a spherical handle to avoid this whole mix up.
The New Entrance To Narnia
Not sure I would park under a mysterious door like that, but hey maybe that person has great car insurance. Anyway, why would anyone have a door all the way up there? Seriously, Narnia is the only explanation.
Trying To Shower At A Friend’s
Whatever you do, don’t turn that knob! Wait, which one? Actually, this is way too much. All we ask for is hot and cold. Nobody got time for all this!
The Reason Your Seats Were Dirt Cheap
When your friend finds dirt cheap seats, but you show up to the game like…yeah we had a better view from my couch. Ouch. But hey, while you’re there might as well go for a hot dog and fries. If you’re lucky a fly ball might make it over your wall.
The Moment Your Last Class Ends Friday
We’ve all been there…the final bell rings and you fly out of your seat and you just cant’t wait for the weekend. You race down the hall and shoot right through the floor. No literally. Somehow this kid managed to burst into the lower floor’s ceiling. Don’t ask how.
Snow Way!
Yeah, they were not having it. Snow plow does not equal privilege. We sure do not want to mess with this person.
Maybe Not The Best Time For A Nap
Yes, we get it, you work hard, but could you maybe refrain from sleeping while ON the job? Definitely, not the sight you want to come home to…
Mom, Are You Watching?
Does this not feel like a kid asking their mom 1000 times to watch them do something cool? Anyway, we’re pretty impressed with this tower climbing vehicle. Don’t think we would take a ride in one, but it’s fun to watch from afar.
This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
Not sure how they managed this one, but it turned into an epic catastrophe. Luckily, no cars or humans seem to have been harmed in the process. Good one buddy! Better luck next time.
Seriously, Who Put Him In Charge?
We all enjoy a little workplace banter or some light horsing around, but this just seems a bit overboard. I’m pretty sure he could cause an accident walking around like that by traffic. Seriously, is this man okay? Come on buddy, get back to work Mr. Lego man.
The Reason For That Extra ‘Construction’ Traffic
Is this why I was late to work yesterday, sitting in all that traffic? I guess even construction workers need to release their tensions somehow. Life-size tic-tac-toe actually looks kind of fun. Probably, not the smartest time and place to play though.
In The Spirit Of These Fails
That’s how most of this list feels, honestly. Well, at least this guy could poke some fun at his own flaw. You got to respect that.
Two Words: Password Protection
Honestly, just get some password protection for the sign, and hacks can be avoided in the future. This hacker wanted everyone to be aware of the loose dinosaur. Imagine the damage a real dinosaur could do to your car! Whoa, talk about car insurance coverage. However, this isn’t Jurassic Park so rest assured, you’re safe from a wild dinosaur.
This Construction Worker Who Cut To The Chase
Get your heads out of the gutter! We all know that stereotypical husband who wants to prove his masculinity and fix everything himself. Turns out, he may not know so much about home improvement matters and leaves the job unfinished. That’s where this hilariously blunt worker comes in! Leave it to the professionals everyone.
Real Life Crane Game
Aw, remember the crane games in arcades? This person seemed to get a little too carried away in nostalgia. He seemed to have hooked a car. Quite the prize indeed, but we aren’t sure the car was exactly up for grabs.
And That’s A Wrap
Where’s Steve Irwin when you need him? RIP Steve. For real though, what do you do when a crocodile interrupts your work? I think that would be it for me. Bye, guys, I’m done. Not worth it.
Work With What You Got
Talk about innovative! This guy was not equipped with a slow sign, but he sure made use of his resources. Come on, everyone knows turtles are synonymous with slow. What could possibly go wrong?
When You Reach A Pole In The Road
Things were going well…until the pole got in the way. Instead of forgetting the whole thing, they tried to go with it. Sure, it’s an eyesore, but they did the job.
Testing Your Own Handy Work
As a reputable contractor, you need to prove your word means business. This dedicated worker sure was committed to his customers. He said his handy work could hold a man and now, you’ll really believe him!
Suspicious Rates
Not really sure this man priced his services logically. I mean hey, no one likes someone hovering over them as they work, but does that really warrant a price increase? Also why would helping cost the most? We’re thoroughly confused by this man and his services.
Two In One Reminder
Hey, you don’t want to forget your lunch and also not realize a construction site was coming up. This person was actually very considerate to make the caution sign a double reminder. We appreciate you mystery person!
That Super Stubborn Friend Who Insists He’s Right
No, Bob really I think this is not how you drive this thing. Hey, at least the wheels kept them from plunging too deep. Defintely a way to make a name for yourself at work. So remember, if you think you’re having a bad day at work, just think about this guy.
Almost There, Not Really
Remember when your dad promised to build that greenhouse and then finally got to work one day. Well, yeah this is what happened when he worked for a day but never came back to it. Not exactly a functing greenhouse. Not really sure what you can call this…
At Least They’re Honest
Hey, at least they’ve got pride in their one star rating! We kid, we kid. Anyway, it does appear like the contracctors gave this restaurant their own review. They should probably get that fixed!
Was That Really Necessary?
Yeah, it’s not just you…this tunnel feels very random. But hey, maybe they were trying to protect cars from falling mountian debris. However, it is peculiar just over that one short section. Something is fishy.
Can’t Ignore The Signs
Come on, this one was just too good. How many students do you think sent this to their parents to complain about school? They were just asking for a meme to be made with this demolition site. I guess students have to look other places for success now…perhaps, the library?
Self-Assigned Project
Nope, this was an assigned project. Students took it upon themselves to save their Uggs and other fancy shoes this snowy and muddy season. We have to respect their innovation and determination even though it’s pretty hysterical. It’s simple but does the job.
For Flooding
Seriously, we can only guess they’re expecting massive flooding and wanted to play it safe. Why else would a bridge be built directly next to the sidewalk. It makes no sense. At least the skateboarders have something to enjoy.
Tight Security
Please, that doorway is not guarding anything. How special could those stairs and walkway be anyway? Maybe they were going to finish it across to the other side but ran out of money? One can only speculate at this point.
Who Needs A Stairmaster, When You Got This
Stairs to nowhere you say, but others say a workout! No, but actually, did these steps every lead anywhere? And look at those pipes built around them! Guess they were too important to do away with1
We Found The Tracks For Ozzy’s Crazy Train
There are so many things wrong here. One…that tunnel hole looks a bit small for a fast approaching train. More importantly, why is there a tunnel there in the first place? Odd. Yeah, this could seriously be the crazy train in Ozzy’s song.
Just Wizard Things
Okay, so at any minute we’re expecting the staircase to move to this odd door like in Harry Potter. Just imagine…someone really paid money for a door to be built that you cannot even access! Why? Maybe it’s modern art. Who knows.
For Those Daredevil Kids
Regular playgrounds are so overrated. This one is for those crazy kids who want to live on the edge…literally. Okay, but actually who put that up there? That’s just not smart on so many levels.
Accessible And Pointless For All
While we appreciate that this is handicap accessible, we can’t help but ask what’s the point? Oh and not to mention those in a wheelchair would somehow have to maneuver a five point turn to get back down this absurd ramp. Maybe kids enjoy playing on it, so it would have some function at least.
Not Ideal
Definitely makes traveling through this hall a bit difficult. It’s almost like an obstacle course. Seriously, how did this happen? Don’t you have to plan out the building structures before throwing huge poles into the middle of a pathway? Poor planning, people.
Wrong Side, Buddy
It’s a beautiful house, really. There’s just one major issue with the new home. The driveway. How is a car supposed to park inside the garage if the driveway isn’t right? Maybe this family just wants to keep their cars outside forever. Who knows. But we’re willing to bet, they’re going to ask for a refund and a new, useable driveway.
Not Quite The Privacy One Hopes For
At least the faces will be covered? No, sorry that is not good enough sir! Who told this person it was okay to have partial privacy in a bathroom stall of all places?! I’d almost rather see the faces. Ugh, this is just so unfortunate.
Please…Just How?
If the handle and key did not tip you off, how could an upside down number look right? We really can’t defend this one. Also, can you look at that step and a half. That’s just asking for trouble, especially with any elderly relatives! We can’t imagine what it’s like to try to open that upside down lock.
A Makeshift Solution At Its Worst
Someone obviously forgot to make a handicap accessible entrance. I’m sorry but this just won’t do. How would anyone help someone in a wheelchair up or down these stairs without seriously injuring themselves in the process? Not cool man. Back to the drawing board.
Too Close For Comfort
We’ve seen a lot of weird bathroom jobs, but never one where men would have to potentially bump behinds with their urinal neighbor. Everything would just be too tight and close in this bathroom. Not comfortable for anyone involved. I’m sure most men would rather just go in the woods after seeing this nightmare.
You Almost Had It
See the thing with this is, they were just so close. If the pools were only connected then nothing would be weird. Unfortunately, maybe they were optimistic someone would make that connection. Maybe they didn’t have the money to connect the pools? Hey, maybe the bridge helps people avoiding the slippery ground between pools? Yeah, we know we’re reaching with this construction fail.
Two In One Stop
Maybe the person who made this decided hand washing was a major problem and wanted to make it easier for bathroom goers. Regardless, this just seems wrong. This is not a public restroom we want any part in. Sorry.
Flaming Mistake
This could go very, very badly. An accident waiting to happen. Someone goes to grab the oven mitt, the next thing they know a fire starts! Just imagine having kids in this house and constantly, checking to make sure they didn’t open the drawer and start the oven by accident. Yeah, major fire hazard for sure.
Cruel Joke
Everyone uses bathrooms. Did an alien design this? Or was this just a sick joke? By the time someone realizes how far the paper is, it’s probably too late. So close, but yet so far away. Not nice.
Making You Work For It
Another mean joke played on the public. How in the world does anyone reach this ATM unless they’re Shaq! As if checking your balance isn’t painful enough…
We Advise You Sit
Hey, we’re all for taking the escalator over the stairs, but we’re just warning you to be careful on this one. Yeah, you probably want to just sit in order to avoid injury. Not sure, what they were thinking when they made this one. How did not one person on the project see how this was a problem? We see a lawsuit coming around the corner!
No, Just No
Um, is there anything that can even be said about this? A random slab of straight concrete sitting right outside of the door. Is it just to confuse people, because if so, it’s doing it’s job! Hopefully, no one trips over this odd concrete.
