Keep reading to see some people who definitely didn't follow that advice. We should all learn from their very, very stupid mistakes. Some of these photos are absolutely ridiculous.

The people who made this pan had one job to do.

Which do you think came first in this situation, the door or the floor? Because they couldn't have been installed at the same time.

At this factory, nobody can ask for help when they need it because the help button just isn't there anymore.
