Do you ever have something annoying or embarrassing happen to you and thank the heavens that nobody was around to see it? It’s bad enough having the memory return in your own head, let alone knowing that somebody else was there to witness the worst day of your life so far.

In this age of smartphones, having spectators at your unfortunate moments is even worse, because chances are, a not-so-flattering photo of you will end up doing the rounds on the internet. While the prospect of that sounds terrible, we all might be a teeny tiny bit hypocritical, because we still love laughing at other people’s misfortunes as much as the next person.

If you need a bit of joy in your life, these pictures of people failing at their own lives will put a grin on your face. It’s all a bit of lighthearted humor – promise.
