20+ People Who Failed To Understand The Instructions And Ended Up With Hilarious Results
Task failed successfully, I guess.
Following instructions until the end is not something everyone can do. Some just give up midway and try to find a way to speed up the process as much as possible.
Skipping steps often leads to disastrous results. Each part of the process is crucial and needs to be done appropriately.
Some people are just too literal for their own good; they execute tasks precisely as they were asked to and never leave anything open to interpretation. When interacting with people like this, you need to be very precise and as unambiguous as possible.
If you fail to do so, you will end up with some hilarious results that have nothing to do with the initial idea. Once the job is completed, there's no going back.
Sometimes, people fail to do a last-minute double-check to ensure that everything was done according to plan, and they never get the chance to correct their mistakes.
The people in the pictures below failed to follow instructions and ended up failing miserably. They misunderstood what they were supposed to do but still went through with their tasks until the end.
Some people are definitely going to lose their jobs or are already jobless.
