Everyone has bad days at work sometimes. Not everything is always going to go smoothly, that's just part of being human. For some people, mistakes go mostly unseen. Many people can quickly hide or fix their mistakes before anyone notices them. For others, such as those who work in public, their mistakes are more obvious. When someone messes up a design, a product, or something widely used, people will notice and shake their heads at it. It could be a typo in an ad, a lock put on backward, or a misaligned tile.

Some of the mistakes are so small and obvious it's honestly just kind of funny to see. Anyone who notices these kinds of silly mistakes can post them to Reddit's /r/onejob. This subreddit is for the times when you want to say "you had one job" to someone. Here are 24 flaws and fails that are way too obvious.
