People Who Had The Best Intentions, But Their Best Wasn’t Good Enough

There are a lot of people out there that like to watch the world burn. They go out of their way to mess things up and make life unbearable for everyone around them. But there are also people who live their life with the best intentions that just never seem to work out.

We all know someone like this. They'll do everything possible to do good, but there is some voodoo magic working behind the scenes to turn everything they do into a disaster. It's not their fault. They're trying their best, but let's be honest, their best is never good enough.

Nick/Steve looks so done with everything. He probably already has regrets marrying into a crazy family. Receiving a cake with the wrong name on it is now the cherry on top of a less-than-ideal extended family experience.

Now he'll forever wonder who Steve is and if everyone likes Steve more than him.

A good friend will do whatever you want, but a best friend will tell you when you're wrong. If dogs are man's best friend, then we should be good friends to them too.

That means not listening when they want to keep it long on top but look like the canine version of Slenderman everywhere else.

This boyfriend knew what he did was wrong, went out of his way to fix it, and somehow made it worse. Honestly, at this point, he should have just ripped off the cupcake and thrown it out before she saw it. Instead, she has to live with the knowledge that she has one less slice AND one less cupcake than before.

Sometimes we forget that the heroes in our lives are regular people too. Doctors, firefighters, and even the AAA guys can be flawed.

We count on them for so much, but who do they lean on? AAA is never afraid to ask where we are, but we never stop to ask how they are.

Everyone wants to blame the UPS driver like they intentionally locked these people in their apartment, but they have a lot on their plate. Not only are they forced to wear those gag-worthy brown shorts, but they have unrealistic expectations.

Amazon Prime's two-day shipping has turned us into a society that expects our package to arrive one hour after we order. Give the UPS people a break.

This has happened to all of us at one point in our lives. You spend all night making your "world famous" dish, then something happens right at the end to ruin it. Honestly, it's probably for the best. Anytime someone says their food is "world's best"just means their toddler doesn't spit it out immediately.

Commissioning someone to paint a full-size portrait of you is a real 17th-century move. So it's not surprising that this painting of a 16-year-old girl ended up looking like she was 108.

She looks like Rose from the Titanic when she's the old woman. Needless to say, this portrait didn't raise this girl's self-confidence.

It's tough being an American on Independence Day. You think you're buying some patriotic clothes, but in reality, America's imperial past has made it so that red, white, and blue stars and stripes are on numerous flags around the world.

It's so easy to be a traitor nowadays. Anyone can be found guilty of Russian collusion just for mistaking their red, white, and blue flag. Just imagine if you did something worse.

Okay, I highly doubt this doggo was trying to drown his owner. A good boy wouldn't do that. He's wearing a life jacket, which means he probably hasn't perfected his doggy paddle yet. He was probably just trying to rest for a bit before continuing a fun day at the beach.

Mittens does not look impressed with this "gift" from their owner. This cat is already judging you, and this cat tree is justification to Mittens that their owner is as dumb as a stump.

Word of advice: maybe next time check the dimensions on the product before you buy it online.

One trip or bust. This man has been one-tripping groceries inside all his life to prepare for this very moment. But carrying a bag of bread in your mouth is an entirely different story than carrying a pint. Whoever draws the shortest stick gets the pint that Chad carried over in his mouth.

Hear me out: what if this wasn't a mistake. The nice version of this story is that this Sri Lanka service made an innocent mistake. But in reality, they're probably just big Tupac fans who think that wanted to bring Makaveli's vision to the people of Sri Lanka.

I think we can all agree that choosing between ride or die isn't an easy choice and we need a modern prophet to lead the way.

Look at this dog's face. He is having an unlimited supply of slip-and-slide fun, and no one will stop him. But also look at the muscles on this dog. He's a big boy, and it probably feels like a cement truck rolling over you.

He clearly didn't mean to take out his owner in the process, but he will slip and slide as much as he pleases.

The problem with most interns is that they don't know when to admit they're in over their head. Even if they have no clue what to do, they won't tell their boss because they don't want to be let go from their unpaid "employment." Whatever intern at Netflix did this was trying their best, but was probably fired immediately.

Birthday parties are a whole event nowadays. Each mom is trying to one-up the next by making their child's party bigger and better. This mom probably spent her party budget on a bouncy castle, which meant she was left making the cake herself.

Unfortunately, they haven't learned the tactic of straight-up-lying yet and instead tried their best to fix it. Rookie mistake, kid.

Did you read what the letter wrote? "You won $2 dollars. Here is that $2. Merry Christmas!" There is no way that grandma went out of her way to give this as a gift. Grandmothers should know better. But when you think about it, the older they get, the gifts they give begin to become less extravagant.

The original idea of giving the lottery scratcher was a good idea but we all know how hard it is to resist scratching those things. But next time, grandma has to try a little harder not to ruin the gift.
