14+ Moments That Made Us Go 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'

Nobody likes to feel cheated in this world! And I should know, as my parents used to cheat all the time at Monopoly when I was a kid and it used to do my head in.

Anyway, longstanding familial rivalries aside, please enjoy these 14+ moments that made us feel cheated!

"The only way to get the cat to lie in its expensive bed."

This is as close as you are going to get to a win with a cat, so I'd take it! I've never been this close to a victory over my cat.

Sucker!

Wait, so what flavor was this meant to be? Was it meant to be panda flavor, as I don't know what else a panda would suggest in terms of flavor?

"That is a blatant lie."

Reddit | Casual0bserver

This is the most first-world problem I have seen in a long time. Also, you're clearly meant to fold it!

Actually, I'm Very Unsatisfied!

Reddit | Bierrr

I don't think I'd be able to leave until I had knocked that Snickers bar out of there. The idea of it taunting me like that is too much.

"My whole life has been a lie. It's just rubbish at the end of the rainbow."

Reddit | yelnats87

Would you open them up to see what was inside? It could be gold! However, odds are it's going to be trash.

"Guess Jesus didn't want to take the wheel."

Reddit | dorsehick3

What a nightmare! You spend all that time praying and such and when it comes down to it, Jesus can't be arsed to take over driving for five seconds! Or, maybe he did and he's just an awful driver.

"Well, the box title technically did warn me."

Reddit | Velock0009

That is an absolute shocker all around. I mean, the cheese is lacking, the crust looks abysmal, and the amount of pepperoni is laughable!

"I really need to figure out what they are doing to my son at school."

Reddit | LordAcoustic

They literally don't look like the same kid. I'd have a lot of questions for those teachers. It looks like they're filling his brain full of too much knowledge at school! Dangerous amounts of knowledge!

"My daughter wanted to be in the photo with us. We didn't tell her we were going to kiss."

Reddit | ohineedascreenname

That's what you get for photobombing. Looks like she has learned a valuable lesson today!

To Infinity, And... Err?

Reddit | Bierrr

This fence will continue forever!... Or more likely it will stretch as far as the person putting it up can be bothered going!

If you keep having dreams about unicorns even after stopping taking drugs, then you may well be a replicant.

"Damn these girl scouts are savages."

They're hoping to get business from those who have a handful of extra points left at the end of the day...and those who don't!

"Teen left permanently scared with Mike Tyson's tattoo after using black henna."

Reddit | CigaretteNightmares

I don't know much about henna tattooing but is this kind of reaction a common occurrence? It looks incredibly painful.

"Damn, cancelling the festival we had planned."

Reddit | SayRedditLikeAFrog

Maybe it's for all of the festivals that the local mice had planned? I guess they'll have to relocate to Ratstonberry from now on.

Now With More Frosting!

Reddit | Scaulbylausis

Look, if you're buying a Pop-Tart, then you can't really expect quality, can you? But, this is taking it a little far!

"All I wanted was a nice photo."

Reddit | Yeah-RIght

This is miles better than any other way this photo could have turned out though, I reckon. The photographer caught the moment perfectly!

"Behold, the mighty Infinity Sax."

Reddit | IThrowBarrels

You know what though? Now I'm just annoyed that we didn't see a version of The Avengers where Thanos was so angry because no one would take him seriously as a jazz musician!

"DON'T LIE RIGHT TO MY FACE!"

Reddit | Nstefanelli56

I think that this is a genius way to keep people out. I mean, there's no way anyone would think it was actually a door! I might get one of these for my front door as my new security system.

"Just found out my parents have been lying to me my whole life."

Reddit | relevant84

Trust me, they don't work. Not that I fell for it or anything... Look, just take it from me that it's not what you think!

"So... How Do I Pay?"

Reddit | Bierrr

Well, you'd pay with your card obviously! However, this really doesn't explain why the place is called "Cheque 'n' Cash" in the first place?!

"New community toll system is really working out."

Reddit | GuacamoleFanatic

"Dave, we're not getting as much money as we thought from that new toll road."

"Really? That's strange!"

"No, Dave, it's really not! I told you to put up a fence as well!"

"100% will rip open a bag like a damn raccoon and then notice it's resealable."

Reddit | beingtwiceasnice

I do this all the time, and it drives my partner absolutely insane. I just don't have the foresight or patience to check!

"Ahhh yes, a classic Kingo egg..."

Reddit | lava_stick

But...why does it just say "Boy" on it? Is that not really bothering anyone else? Although, apparently it is "delicious enjoyable" so it must be fine!

"My meow is a lie."

Reddit | maxywaxy13

I can't believe that a cat would lie like that! I am absolutely floored by this! And to think, I thought they were such honest creatures!

"Nike outlet needs to calm down with these savings!"

Reddit | heapofbears

I wonder how many people actually fall for basic marketing tactics like this? Actually, I don't want to know, as I reckon the actual number will just make me depressed.

"We live in a world of deceptions!"

Reddit

Someone said that the ones in the case may be made of rubber. However, they're still pretzels! Sure, they may taste bad, but they're still damn pretzels! I'll die on this rock!

Reddit | BBBlaze999

At least you got a pretty funny picture from the experience, even if it was a colossal waste of time and effort to get there!

Reddit | milovat

Half the lights, have the decorations, and keeps the cat from destroying things. It's a win, win, win.

"Neighbor says your dog is scary and needs a muzzle? Not a problem."

Reddit | IWishItWouldSnow

I don't know in what world putting a cage over a dog's face genuinely makes them less scary. Good on this person for making it funny at least.

Reddit | Lndubs

Good to see card companies are really trying to keep the love and romance alive in marriages.

Reddit | A221V

With every cute pet birthday you see on Instagram or Facebook, there is someone else who tried it and got this reaction.

Or they're just acknowledging your needs as a busy traveling businessman. I'm sure that's it.

"See that tiny sliver of metal in the gap? Those are my car keys that I locked in the groove of my trunk."

Reddit | friendscallmeadolph

This is one of the things that I can imagine I would do only for it to push me over the edge and cause me to just wander off into the ocean.
