You have to admit, there is something uniquely chucklesome about a complicated task going wrong. But there’s something even funnier about a task that should have been impossible to mess up still getting fumbled. 
It could be a typo on a freeway billboard, a product assembled backward, or someone doing exactly what they were supposed to do, just in the most unexpected way imaginable. These are the folks who are likely to be featured on the One Job subreddit. 
As the page profile states, it is the official depository for the classic “You had ONE job!” posts. Scrolling through it may bring a laugh or two, as you will see in the posts below.
