25 Disappointing Moments Of 'Expectation Vs. Reality'

Life has a funny way of disappointing each and every person every single day. It's silly to expect things to go right in life all the time. More times than not, things don't go right at all. Sometimes, we get excited about something, and those dreams are quickly dashed when the reality of the situation comes in. This is usually due to good marketing.

Still, people will continue to fall for them, giving the Internet more expectation vs. reality content to laugh about. Reddit's /r/expectationvsreality is a subreddit where people share all of the times reality has disappointed them the most. Just about everything can be found in there, from snacks to nail art.
