Lists of some real dumb-dumbs sailing through life, just trying to survive.

Fails

There are lots of reasons safety laws exist and every person on this list is one of them. Every single one of the things happening in these unsafe photos is an accident waiting to happen; a horrifying, horrifying accident. If every possible accident on this list happened, the Looney Tune level of gore that'd&nbsp;ensue would be the only thing you could think of for years. Every <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/proof-that-idiots-live-among-us/whitneysmoore">stupid person</a> on this list is a walking advertisement for the fact that we still don't have enough safety signs. You wouldn't think that's the case since there's a sign for damn near everything you can think of, but we need a lot more signs. Signs should line the walls of every building, if this list of safety fails is any indication of how people are living their lives out there.&nbsp;Have you ever had construction going on across the street from you, so you're forced to look at a bunch of people whom you assume know what they're doing? Well, they might not know what they're doing. Not exactly. Or maybe not at all. Like at all.Using a stepladder is terrifying enough, but some of the things the guys on this list do with ladders are straight up batsh*t insane. Lots of these guys are just doing their jobs, and every one of their supervisors should be fired for these completely <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/unsafe-construction-photos/whitneysmoore">unsafe construction sites</a>. Either that or they should be getting paid at least ten times the amount they're probably getting paid.&nbsp;Every one of these situations is bad news, anxiety-inducing&nbsp;to look at, and horribly, horribly unsafe. Browse through these unsafe pictures and feel good that you are not one of these people.

Reddit

So you think it might be fun to ride a scooter through the halls of a hotel? <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/whatcouldgowrong">What could go wrong</a>? Whether people are looking to prove themselves, show off a hidden talent, try out something new, or just looking for a good laugh, it is inevitable that along the way <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-things-people-ate/laura-allan?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">some weird things</a> are going to be given a shot. What could go wrong, or WCGW, is a category of fails and accidents that can bring a smile - or a grimace - to any face. These are the funniest, most hilarious instances of what could go wrong scenarios, from gymnastic flips to escalator incidents.These outrageous wcgw gifs range from the innovative, to the unbelievable, to the downright ridiculous. It's an age of kids and adults alike looking to prove their talents in increasingly absurd situations, and more often than not, failing epically. Brace yourself: some of these will shock you.&nbsp;

Mockery

In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/gk8t35/george_carlin_said_think_of_how_stupid_the/?sort=top" target="_blank">recent subreddit</a>,&nbsp;the late, great George Carlin was quoted: &quot;Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.&quot; From there, people offered their own experiences with folks who were slightly misguided in their thought process. Here are a few interesting examples that might make you weep for humanity.&nbsp;

They say if you play stupid games, you&#39;ll win stupid prizes, and these people prove that is 100% true. Next time you want to get an eyeball tattoo or sell your kidney for a smartphone, remember these poor people who won the ultimate stupid prize so you don&#39;t have to too.

On Reddit&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/thereifixedit/" target="_blank">creative fixes forum</a>, wannabe MacGyvers offer interesting alternative&nbsp;solutions to busted objects that require a little more than just scotch tape and a shine. From home auto repair to broken tech, these fixer-uppers can be a bit on the shady side, at best. Here are a few fixes that are offer a scary solution.&nbsp;

Funny

Alcohol is the prime influence behind many, many ideas - some incredibly stupid, but others unbelievably amazing. These GIFs are the best of the <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/holdmybeer/">holdmybeer</a> subreddit, those where everything goes much better than expected and hardly anyone gets hurt. These HMB gifs feature drunk geniuses getting away with incredibly feats that probably should have landed them in the hospital. Even watching them, you won't believe what these people have gotten away with. Vote up your favorites - and please, please don't be the idiot who tries any of these things at home.

You know what they say, &quot;Karma - What comes around goes around&quot;! And it is oh so satisfying when karma comes back around immediately!

Here are some of the best instant karma moments from the subreddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/instantkarma" target="_blank">r/instantkarma</a>. Vote up the best instant karma moments!

Gifs

These &quot;ouch&quot; gifs all have one thing in common: complete morons hurting themselves. Whether it's the bartender at the bar who thinks adding fire to his mixology repertoire is a good idea, or the kid trying to do a backflip off of his skateboard, it's hard to imagine what the people in these funny gifs could have possibly been thinking. Even though these images don't have sound, you can almost hear the impact in your head and imagine the next morning's medical bills. Some of these epic fails can be predicted from the first image, when others go wrong in a completely different way than you would have ever expected. Either way, you won't know whether to laugh or cringe. Which funny gif is your favorite on this list? Be sure to vote and share with your friends!

Hey, alcohol can make us do stupid things. Hopefully, none of these stupid things have permanent consequences. While some of us might use beer as a late night excuse to text our exes, others let it trick us into thinking we are invincible. These GIFs are mostly drunk people doing things that probably seemed like great - or at least hilarious - ideas at first, but turned out to be super horrible painful hard-to-watch failures. Vote up the ones that make you suck in air through your teeth the hardest. &nbsp;

We've all seen them - those folks who stand around on street corners or in front of government buildings, exercising their their right to free speech by hating on the language of others. And why not? As members of a country founded by immigrants, it's only natural that they insist we put an immediate halt to immigration. To take it one step further, they also feel that English should be the one and only language spoken in America. And while knowing English is indeed a handy skill, it's probably one you want to master before advocating on its behalf. What do we mean, you ask? Trust us, when you get a load of the misspelled signs below, all your questions will be answered with unfortunate clarity. It seems that poor grammar on signs has become a sort of trademark of the uninformed anti-immigration movement. Most of these <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-typos/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">funny sign mistakes</a>, however, wouldn’t be nearly as hilarious if it weren’t for the oblivious folks holding them. Whether it’s misspelled words or grammar mistakes, these anti-immigration signs by English lovers are enough to make any second grader cringe. So no matter what your political persuasion, you'll get a kick out of this list. At the very least, you might just learn how to spell “amnesty.”&nbsp;

Fights don&#39;t often go well outside of a boxing ring, but that doesn&#39;t keep people from going after other people and things when they get angry. These people decided to take out their aggression on just about anything near them, resulting in these funny fights. Whether it&#39;s a friend, a loved-one, a table, a trash can, a bush, a wall, a window or anything else, these people punch and kick it as hard as they can. Unfortunately for them, their attempts at kicking butt turned into fighting FAILs and won them a place on this list.&nbsp;

How do you lose a fight with an inanimate object, you ask? Well, it&#39;s a combination of blind stupidity, dumb luck, and most likely a drink or two. The next time you get so frustrated you feel like punching a wall, just remind yourself of the fact that the wall might fight back. Just hope nobody is filming you.

A car crash is a terrifying experience that almost everyone has the potential to experience. A simple drive across town can go bad in one split second when someone stops looking at the road. Through the modern technology of dashcams and mounted GoPro cameras, we can now experience the visceral terror of a car crash from the point of a view of the car itself.&nbsp; Some of these are close calls that you can't believe, and others are horrifying crashes that are so crazy you can't look away. Even in a short gif, the thrill and fear of the crash is all there, and you can almost imagine the sounds of crunching glass and metal as you watch them. Whether it's an icy road, a speeding driver or a badly-timed text message, these crashes and close-calls will make you gasp, and sometimes even laugh. These are some of the funniest, scariest, and craziest roadcam gifs the Internet has to offer. Vote for your favorite crazy dashcam gif.

Humans are obsessed with their cars. Not only are they a prized possession, a status symbol, and a financial expense, they can also be a home away from home, an office, and a dangerous accident waiting to happen. Even getting a scratch on your car can often ruin your day, and minor accidents can cost you an arm and a leg. For these people, being careless got them more than a scratch – their cars are toast. Most of them made stupid mistakes, whether it was an attempt at parkour, a parking disaster, drunk driving, or literally driving on thin ice. Prepare to not know whether to laugh or cringe as you watch these idiots destroy their modes of transportation.

Well if so, then here you’ll find yourself well at home among your people via the following collection of dangerous photos that are enough to rise the average person’s blood pressure a few notches.

Well, friend we’re got you covered with this series of images guaranteed to make you more nervous than a hooker at a Baptist tent revival.What you’re about to see is basically pure, unaltered anxiety captured in a series of photos, almost none of which we can guarantee ended even remotely well for these men. That said, if you laugh in the face of danger and/or common sense, strap on your hard hat and knock yourself out with this ridiculously hilarious collection of photos of men doing dumb things.&nbsp;

Bike crashes don't seem as bad as car crashes at first. People often wear helmets, and they usually don't go nearly as fast as cars do. However, the popularity of BMX and the stupidity of the average person (often multiplied by the inclusion of alcohol) makes biking a dangerous hobby when done incorrectly. The following gifs involve <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-famous-professional-road-racing-cyclists/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">professional bike riders</a> crashing, kids trying dumb stuff, freak accidents, stunts gone wrong, and more. Let these gifs be a reminder that you should always wear a helmet on your bike, especially when you're about to tempt something stupid. Click through the slideshow for some of the best, funniest, and scariest bike fails.

You've probably seen people fighting in public, but have you seen them fighting inanimate objects that have done nothing wrong? It's not uncommon for us to loose control of our temper; in fact we live in such a high paced society sometimes it gets a bit too much for all of us!

Whether they're drunk, angry or just plain stupid, these people can't handle the pressure, so here they are, letting it all out on an unsuspecting trash can, hamper, or parked car. Little do they know, they've got a tough fight ahead of them!We have found the funniest gifs of people fighting walls only to be bounced back, punching moving cars, or using inanimate object as a kung fu master! So now it's time for you to upvote the biggest idiots fighting everyday objects below. Who do you think is the biggest dummy? Cast your votes now and head over to the comments section to let us know all about the last table that wronged you so much, you simply had to pick a fight with it.

The joys of&nbsp;instant karma come from those rare moments in life when karma drinks a Red Bull and comes out swinging like a Georgia hurricane. Let&#39;s face it, sometimes it&#39;s kind of awesome when the jerky high school quarterback grows up to be a nobody. We all carry a glimmer of hope that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-who-were-bullied/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">karma will always sort it out</a> in the end.

So the next time you have one of those days that makes you wanna throw your hands up and give up on the world, come on in. We&#39;ve got just the ticket to restore your flailing belief that somewhere out there, justice lurks on, just waiting for the right moment to kick the bad guy&#39;s rear.

There is no shortage of stupid people. If anything, there&#39;s a surplus! Social media has provided these beautiful idiots with another platform to share their numbskulledness.
