Food preferences differ from one place to another, due to local customs, climate, and cultural background. But there is nothing more American than a hamburger or hot dog on the grill. Every child knows that a hamburger is made of a circular meat patty, while hot dogs are longer and leaner.
Whoever made these packages seems to have missed their basic geometry classes and doesn’t know the difference between a circle and an oval. Or, more likely, they just weren’t paying attention and mixed up the labels. We hope their customers were paying more attention.
Not-so-Custom Customized Pillow
There's nothing like a beautiful, customized accessory. Whether it be a shirt with a personalized message or a birthday cake with a "Happy Birthday" specifically for the recipient, there's something about a customized message that just makes the gift so much more meaningful. But in this case, it was anything but.
Apparently, the person who ordered this throw pillow online had no idea what they were actually buying. Either that or they missed the box where they were supposed to erase “sample text,” and type their own message. Missed opportunity? Yes. Hilarious mistake? Also, yes. There's also a chance that the company forgot to use the message submitted to them.
Unable to Follow Instructions
We don’t know what the reason is that you can’t stack these boxes, but it seems like this clear directive was ignored, over and over again. We assume that the words 'unable to follow clear instructions' will appear on the employee evaluation of whoever did this. On the other hand, this rebellious act could have been done on purpose.
This employee may have really wanted to quit but couldn’t find the courage and believed this act would do the job for them. Well, they certainly got their point across...
Missed a Step
We don’t know who was responsible for filling this candy machine, but we are going to go out on a limb and guess they were new to the job and more than a little distracted.
Maybe the instructions just stated that you must open the machine, remove the lid, and put the candy in. But even if it is not specified that you should open the big packages and pour in the little treats, their common sense should have kicked in. We hope people notice that nothing is going to come out before they put their money in.
This Indecision’s Bugging Me
If you finish your shopping and are confronted by this door on the way to your car, you may feel overwhelmed. Do you enter or not enter? Are you trapped here forever? We don’t know if this mistake was caused by bad design, a careless worker, or a raving sadist, but it has left us with a well of indecision. We say just enter.
If anyone hassles you about it, just point to the sign and say that you were following directions. They won’t be able to argue with that!
