Sometimes people just have one job to do and they still manage to screw it up. In fact, they manage to screw it up so bad it's even difficult to believe they didn't notice. Luckily, when you're not the one who messed up it can be pretty funny.
Keep on scrolling to take a look at Bored Panda's list of people who had one job and failed so miserably it's hilarious. To be fair, everyone makes mistakes, but these mistakes... They just bring up one question: WHY?!

Order/packaging instructions are for the people who actually pack it. They don't even look at the delivery instructions are those are for the delivery driver so need to be put on the box for them to be able to read it.
