People Captured Their ‘Letdown’ Moments That Lifted Us Up
Getting let down isn't fun for anyone. When you have expectations, you expect them to be met.
Sometimes, others play a part in you not reaching your expected goals. When that happens, you only wish they could've let you down easier.
She Asked For A Photo Before Their Wedding...
She asked her husband for a photo before their wedding, which ended up being the only one he took.
Why didn't they look at it before putting the phone away? That could've saved him the shame.
Layers To The Let Down
At first, you think the apple cake is a gift, but you learn there's more inside of it.
Finally, you see the iPhone case, and you can't wait to open it. That's when you find a real apple.
Wife Wanted Jewelry
The wife wanted jewelry, but she ended up getting this instead from the husband. It's pretty funny.
My only question is how long did he have to sleep on the couch after pulling this move?
"Would You Like Me To Take A Photo Of You Two Love Birds?"
This older gentleman saw a couple at the beach and offered to take their photo for them.
The couple accepted, but the result was far from what they thought. At least you can see them in the glasses.
Perks Of Traveling Alone
One of the perks of traveling alone is that you don't have anyone to take photos for you.
This gentleman learned that the hard way when he tried to get a fancy picture with this famous tower.
When You Ask For Jelly-Filled...
If you eat any kind of pastry that's jelly-filled, that should be your last sugar intake for the week.
Unfortunately, this person wasn't able to get their order how they wanted. There's no jelly.
This Tuna And Avocado Roll Is Missing Something...
Was the chef trying to be funny with this roll, or did they run out of tuna?
There's no fish in sight, and I know the customer wasn't pleased. They still probably ate it without complaints.
Husband Gets Disappointed By Wife's Critical Thinking
This probably looks like a regular photo, but there's a story behind this. The calculator stopped working due to a lack of light.
That's when this woman's husband told her to use her phone. Do you see what's going on here?
Dolly Parton Shouldn't See This
Making something in another person's image should not be something someone takes lightly. This is a terrible effort.
Why would they even bring this out for people to eat? You might as well buy a store-bought cake at this point.
Steak And Cheese Burrito
Yeah, you can see some steak, but where is everything else? This is mainly tortilla, which is horrible.
Whenever someone orders a burrito, they want it to be jam-packed with their favorite ingredients.
This Was A $40 Portrait
I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have paid 40 cents for this portrait. Anyone could have done this for that woman.
She didn't deserve this treatment. She looks like Ursula is she was a real woman.
Random Lady Offers To Take Their Photo
A random lady offered to take their photo and she must have had long fingers. This is a rookie mistake.
Getting your finger in the photo is enough to make certain people very upset.
Oops! There Goes The Ice Cream
Imagine telling the kids you had some ice cream for them when you got home, but this happened.
You might have to turn around and go back to the store for more if that were the case.
Yeah, Salad Cookies...
I'm not sure too many people wanted green cookies that were really cucumbers. This is a big letdown.
Even the folks who watch how they eat and live a healthy lifestyle would prefer a real cookie.
One Of Them Has Nacho Cheese
In this example, a loving wife made cinnamon rolls for her husband that have orange frosting.
The only thing is that one of them has nacho cheese covered on top. It's a fun guessing game!
Splash Zone
Wow, they couldn't have honked at least before drenching this kid after school? It looks like there are two kids!
This is the worst way to get wet. From head to toe, these poor kids are covered in water.
Parents Must Think He's Dumb
I hate to break it to this kid, but his parents must not think very highly of him.
I think anyone would be able to see the plastic wrap on the bagel and wouldn't try to eat it before taking it off.
Sad Bag Of Chips
This might be the most pathetic display of Lay's chips I've ever seen in my life.
I know they like to fill the bag with air, but this is out of control. There are only about five chips in there!
Paid Top Dollar To Look Nice For Her Wedding
This woman paid top dollar to make sure her hair was on point for her wedding, or at least like the image on the left.
What she got was nothing like it. That's got to be pretty sad.
Not Surprised, But I Did Have High Hopes
The first trip to a man's house is a necessary make or break point.
Once you get an idea of how he lives (no bowls, 3-in-1 shampoo, and with no furniture), you have to let him go despite the fact you hit it off
It Looks Just Like The Original
Before you pay a baker $100 to make a White Claw cake for your husband's birthday, you should probably ask to see some of their other work.
That way you know if you're going to get what you want.
The Dog Knows You Did Him Dirty
He would have looked so cute going door-to-door on Halloween, trick-or-treating in his adorable little pumpkin costume too!
I guess the cropped sweater look has come back in style lately...
The Brochure Lied
Either the waterfall was having an off day, or whoever designed the brochure has recently discovered how to use Photoshop.
There's no way that these are the same waterfall.
It's Kind Of The Ideal Scale, Actually
Think about it!
You bought the kitchen scale like your trainer told you to, but it doesn't have any actual numbers on it, so you can't be shamed for your giant portion sizes.
Bought Tickets To See A Concert With His Dad
A man bought tickets to enjoy a concert with his dad, but it looks like they forgot the seat.
His dad seems like he enjoyed that moment. They ended up giving him a lawn chair.
Never Buy Snacks At The Movies
Oh, you thought that just because you were paying $8 for it at the movie theater, it was going to be good?
It looks nothing like the photo, and that's what you should've expected.
"Can You Spell Out 'Happy Bday'?"
You always see people spell things out on pizzas in movies or TV shows, but in reality, it's a lot harder to spell out "happy bday" in olives than you'd expect.
The high school kid getting paid minimum wage tried his best for you.
Some Assembly Required
Note to self: do not let your wife drunkenly order a cactus-shaped cat scratching post for the house without double-checking whether it requires assembly, unless you want to end up having to make it yourself.
And you know you're the one whose going to have to build it, not her.
You Should Find A New Career
For anyone who ever thought that they could quit their current job to take up something easier like painting sidewalks, think again.
It's clearly much harder than it looks, or this person was just particularly bad at it.
It Was Supposed To Be A Teddy Bear
When learning to sew, you should aim low and go slow.
That's your mantra, or you'll try to tackle a project like making a teddy bear for your child, and you'll be left with a demon bear no one wants in their bedroom.
Fooled By The Cookie Tin!
This person is always fooled by what they think is a cookie tin at their grandparents' house.
Every time they go over they forget that the cookie tin is now used to keep the sewing kit.
Car Wash Mixup
There is nothing like getting a picture of a blue sky day with perfectly white clouds.
This woman thought she was getting that picture but then forgot that she was going through the car wash and it was just the soap!
What A Prize
This worker was very excited to be selected for the employee rewards program.
They were quickly very disappointed to see that the scratch prize they had won was some unpaid time off.
Wrecked Concrete
When you have a toddler that knows how to walk, you need to know where they are at all times.
This mother turned her back for a second and found that her child was walking through the freshly laid concrete path.
Message Might Be Lost
This billboard has a positive message if you read both sides of it.
However, it has been installed on a corner and the messaging is not as positive when you only read half of it.
Not The Answer They Were Hoping For
This woman was all excited to break the news that she was expecting by sending the results of her pregnancy test.
The person she sent it to thought that they were being sent a positive Covid-19 test!
Have A Nice Day
When you are craving some good fast food the drive-thru is the place to go!

Just A Bit Off

They were rather let down to discover that the mirror in the bathroom was only intended for tall people.
Sunscreen Miss
A day at the beach can be a lot of fun in the summer.
This man is in a lot of pain because his girlfriend didn't rub in his sunscreen at all.
