Pics So Awkward You’ll Feel The Secondhand Embarrassment

Have you ever seen something happen that's so awkward and such a bummer that you kind of laugh but also feel a bit sad about it? OK, so maybe that's a bit dramatic, but you have seen things that make you just want to laugh at how poorly they turned out, right?

You would think that sharpening pencils would be something that's pretty easy to understand and quite universal in the way that you do it, but apparently, you'd end up being wrong.

This is what happens when you order a $60 bidet on Amazon and try and install it yourself. You end up making a bigger mess than was necessary and end up having to pay the plumber.

Being inside constantly with your significant other for months on end sounds like heaven to some people, but to others, it is just a recipe for disaster that causes you to air all your dirty laundry.

You have to guess who it was that took the last sausage, and you only get one guess. Cats might be sneaky, but it looks like they aren't stealth enough to get away with theft.

It's cute that they wanted to drop off a cute little birthday surprise, but it's too bad they basically threw it out of the window while they drove by. Let's hope that it wasn't breakable.
