Dear readers,

Today is National Backward Day! Doing things backward usually results in frustration, one way or another, whether you’ve just realized your underwear was on backward all day or you tried to put your card into the chip reader backward with a line of ten people behind you and the cashier is staring and dear lord, the anxiety!

Anyway, here are 10 stories from our archives about people who just got things backward. !yojnE

Paying By Card Can Be A Backwards Affair – Are you speaking English? Then, yes.

Always Right, Especially When It’s Mom – It’s bad enough when they embarrass you at school.

Dear readers,

January 28th was National Lego Day in the USA! Kids (and adults) around the world have been constructing cars, towers, castles, Death Stars, Millenium Falcons, and countless other things from Legos for nearly ninety years. Beginning as wooden blocks in Denmark in the 1930s, Legos have exploded in popularity and variety; you can now build motorized Lego sets, program robotic Legos, watch Lego movies, and play Lego video games!

As far as I’m concerned, their greatest innovation has been the Brick Separator, designed to help with those fiddly flat pieces and others that tend to get stuck together. When I was a kid, such a thing didn’t exist. We just used our teeth.

But I digress. Today, for your reading pleasure, we’ve rounded up 10 stories from our archives about Lego, from unruly children to entitled customers! Enjoy!

Lego Up There – Lego should invent a tool that helps with this (probably common) scenario!

Building A Case Against Her – Leaving evidence behind wasn’t the first mistake, but it was a stupid one.

Finds Her Lack Of Success Disturbing – Nothing like a well-placed nerdy quote.

Dear readers,

Our first roundup featuring customers getting hilariously tongue-tied didn’t begin to scratch the surface of the enunciation entanglements contained within our archives. So here we present, for your reading pleasure, ten more funny stories about customers saying the worst things at the worst time!

Somebody’s Not Listening – If only language was that simple.

Enough To Make You Quai – Wow, a real-life Dad Joke!

Some Films Are Just Sick – So close, and yet horrifyingly far.

Dear readers,

Last June we rounded up thirteen stories about clueless tourists as a means to provide some light-hearted laughs during a time when many of us couldn’t travel. It’s been a long few months since then and we still can’t travel, but we still do have our huge archive of stupid customer stories and the tourists just keep on popping up.

Therefore, we’ve rounded up yet more stories about tourists who absolutely have no clue. When the airports open up again and we can all start planning our trips, please don’t be like any of these people…

A Model Perspective – We sure hope this person doesn’t drive.

The Sun Is A Slacker Abroad – Hits from the comments: “You can’t use it in Antarctica in the winter.”

Reaching New (Faren)Heights Of Stupidity – Someone didn’t pay attention in science class…

Dear readers,

Parents are biologically programmed to embarrass their children, and for the most part, these attempts can be described as “character building.” And then there’s what you find in the following roundup; it doesn’t just build character, but a whole cast, side-plots, musical numbers, and an end-of-season cliffhanger.

We’ve rounded up ten stories about parents who embarrass their children to cringe-worthy effect!

Cue Dramatic Music – You could just… order another pizza?

A Mother’s Love – I just cringed so hard I think I broke a tooth.

At Least She’s Not Returning Used Diapers – This is what you signed up for when you had a kid!
