13+ Things That Make Us Want To Prepare For The Worst

You know how the saying goes...fail to prepare, prepare to fail! However, despite this well-worn adage's existence, there are still many people out there who fail to prepare for daily life!

And, this can often have hilarious consequences, as these 13+ things that make us want to prepare for the worst can attest to!

"My mom is afraid I'll get robbed carrying her money before I get home. So I did this as a precaution."

Reddit | Aztec818

But what if the people who rob you for this money turn out to be orphans?! You need to think about these things!

"The toilet stopped flushing. He felt obligated to warn the innocent."

Reddit | seech1031

While I am sure that they appreciated the warning, something tells me that the person who left this is no longer the favorite son!

"Warning!"

Reddit | Dudleysdad

Also, prepare to have your shoelaces forcibly removed from your shoes. Any attempt to retrieve said shoelaces will result in nibbled fingertips.

"Every parent's worst nightmare."

Reddit | Tuxmascot

If you've got a family member who you don't like and is a parent, then be sure to get them this for their kids!

"I ordered a #5 with extra mayonnaise. Now I'm afraid to eat it."

Reddit | PsychMike

Oh...dear! Also, sex mayo fiasco aside, getting extra mayonnaise is a risky gambit at the best of times at Jimmy John's, you absolute madman!

He Was Warned!

Reddit | tfoust10

The person who posted this explained, "I warned Zack on our way to feed the Geese 'Do NOT run up on a Goose.' He says 'Why?' I said 'They will attack you.' to which he replies 'I am not scared of a bird.' That's when I knew I just needed my camera!"

"Worst tart ever..."

Reddit | Bunuvasitch

I don't think that your new start has gotten off to quite the beginning that you might have hoped for. Nothing good starts with an anus tart.

Reddit | Bargrisar_Stoneman

Wow, well, that is one hell of a warning sign! I am incredibly curious about what is on the other side of this fence now though!

Reddit | Kimentor

As a man who has tried to fix a wide variety of things around the house by hitting it with a hammer...it never works!

Reddit | KevlarYarmulke

Some people actually said that this would be a very clever way to design the cover for this book! Get ready, folks, and watch out for those felt tips!

Reddit | FusionHead

I'd be panicking a bit if I were you! Maybe tonight might be the night to crack open that nice bottle of whiskey you've been saving for a nice occasion!

"Fair Warning..."

Reddit | iknowthisischeesy

I also like how they have put the crossed bones underneath it to give it a bit of a pirate feel!

"Turns out Seattle knows how to make effective warning signs."

Reddit | aStonedDeer

I don't know what is more unsettling, the idea of having a car crash, or having to have that song stuck in my head?

"My supermarket wins the contest for worst name for generic lunchmeat."

Reddit | YoureNotAGenius

When will people realize that the word "knob" should just not be used when it comes to food in any context?

"The absolute worst idea since tent pants!"

Reddit | DoingitFortheMusic

As bad as those look, myself (along with a lot of other people) wanted to know what on Earth tent pants are?!

"Worst Kind Of Day..."

Reddit | lunacity360

So, the next time you think that you're having a bad day, just remember that it could very much get worse with someone throwing a jar of piss at you!

"Completely unprompted, my son cut a paper spider out and taped it inside my wife's lampshade and I've never been more proud."

Reddit | ForTheWinMag

Sure, you're proud of him now, but just wait until he starts playing pranks on you! Then you won't be too happy!

"Worst fortune cookie ever."

Reddit | northendtrooper

I mean, it's about just as bleak as the last fortune cookie one... However, the blunt nature of this one makes it slightly more unnerving!

"Maybe the worst résumé I have received."

Reddit | FilecakeAbroad

You never know, the person who handed this in could actually be the most efficient worker of all time! Only one way to find out!

"My wife asked how I was preparing for our first baby..."

Reddit

Christ, those Tamagotchi things used to be a nightmare to look after! They would just poop everywhere and beep at you all the time. A real kid can't be much worse than that, can it?

"Thanks for the warning Caller ID!"

Reddit | UnicornSwatTeam

"Hello, this is Mr. Fraud, Marketing Fraud."

"Oh, wow, that's an unfortunate name!"

"Tell me about it. You're the first person that has actually answered my phone call!"

"Worst. Sequel. Ever."

Reddit | tunednoise

This film just sees Jason Bourne remembering that he was actually a really good construction worker and going around doing up people's houses.

When The Experience Turns Out To Be Much Worse Than You Had Feared...

Reddit | MaxLo85

This poor fella wrote, "I'm deathly afraid of heights. I went to the Skydeck at the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) and slowly inched my back to the edge, mustered up all composure I could and took a pic. I thought I nailed it until I saw the photo!"

"I have failed to prepare my son for Kintergarden."

Reddit | hatcher1981

As a lot of people also pointed out, I didn't realize that there were 30+ letters that I should know. Where can I uncover these mysterious extra letters?!

"Was scared I was going to get pulled over when I noticed..."

Wow, how unfortunate that it turned out to be so much worse... They were a fan of the Transformers films!

"6-year-old girl couldn't sleep at night because she was scared of monsters so the Doctor gave her this spray."

Reddit | esiper

This seems like a really nice and adorable thing that this doctor did, but little do you know that this Monster Spray cost the parents a fortune!

"Baking for her 1-year-old's birthday party."

Reddit | straightwestcoastin

I know I'm not the only person who thinks this: Why do one-year-olds need birthday parties? They won't remember it. Get a babysitter and go celebrate the fact that you made it through a year of parenting instead.

"I’m moving into a new apartment, and I was told that the room had been damaged, but nothing could have prepared me for the fact that someone had carved this out of the bathroom door."

Reddit | bran_liggers

"Damaged" isn't the right word. This door was turned into a beautiful work of art.

Reddit | jd2k20

Three minutes for the car wash, three seconds to undo said car wash.

Hey, there's no age limit on superhero sheets. You're with your parents, be a kid again.

"Landlord left a note saying that we need to be prepared for tours from 8:00AM-8:00PM for two weeks."

Reddit | jackrabz

Vague time frames and non-definitive possibilities mean you can't always know what to expect when you come in! Make it high-risk for your landlord.

"While getting my garage sale together, I found a pendant my ex gave me. I decided to be a little creative with selling it."

Reddit | PatriarchVespa

Not even trying to make any substantial profit off this is a real show of how much you hate your ex.

"My uncle was asked to play a game with the kids, at our family owned daycare, while lunch was being made."

Reddit | ElPochito

Depending on what those cups are filled with, if anything, this technically isn't bad!

"Water Park Day preparations."

Reddit | IKnowNotWhatIDo

At least he's covering up! Not enough men do that these days. I don't need to see everyone's pecs.

"Mothers day breakfast in bed, prepared by 5 year old."

Reddit | Robbieworld

I, too, recently learned that party poppers are a nutritious snack full of vitamins!

Reddit | mrsquishyface

Oh, so that's where they're getting them from! So, I'm assuming that they just shovel these up at the end of the day and pump them straight into the White House?

I'm sure that this really filled them with confidence! I'd have gotten that framed and put it up on the wall actually!
