People Who Should Probably Take A Second To Think Before They Act

Sometimes, humans can be impulsive or forgetful. That's okay, but it should be known that not thinking before you act comes with consequences. Generally, good advice is to think things through, even just for a second.

Whether it be a melted cutting board, a failed design, or unexpected dimensions, doing something without thinking twice about it usually doesn't end well. These are some examples of when things clearly went wrong because someone didn't think it through.

This Poor Puppy

It's safe to say that this doggo does NOT have a fresh cut.

The owner explained on Reddit that they decided to cut their dog's hair, and things obviously didn't go too well.

Tip: If you're using the Keurig when you're still half asleep, at least make sure the cup is upright.

Otherwise, it's pretty hard to mess up coffee that just relies on pressing a button.

This dad thought sticking a toy to his head would be a fun game to play with his kid, but obviously, he was wrong.

Looks like he'll have a bump that looks like a third eye until the swelling calms down. At least he's warning others of his error.

They probably thought that they were getting a sweet deal, but sadly, that was not the case.

When exiting the car with lots of drinks or food, it's usually smart to open the door with both hands, and then grab your precious cargo.

Multitasking can sometimes end horribly, as seen in this pic where a dude spilled four massive bubble teas all over his car.

I mean, at least it's locked, but they took about three extra steps that just didn't need to be taken.

Also, am I the only one who had NO IDEA that powdered peanut butter was a thing?

If you're going to wear white, you had better pay attention to how you eat food. It's like that color is a magnet for getting dirty, and here is the proof.

The person eating the noodles probably didn't even notice that this happened to their hat! They probably won't be able to clean as well.

Either he's trying to prove a point to someone that an umbrella still works even if it's open (which is kind of true?) or in his haste to get to his car without getting wet, he's forgotten that he is carrying something that would protect him from the rain.
