20 People Regretted After Seeing What Their Tattoo Looked Like

This article appeared in Futurelad and has been published here with permission.

Regretful Tattoos

Many of us love to get tattoos. There are endless designs and ideas that you can apply to some part of your skin. However, not all tattoo artists are the same or have the same skills. So when you get one who doesn’t have a lot of experience, getting a tattoo can end up being a bad idea. Let’s take a look at these people who suffered in their own flesh these horrifying tattoos…

Scary!

Is there anything scarier than seeing a face tattooed on the back of a head? Imagine sitting behind this gentleman on a flight and having “his face” stare at you permanently.

Scary!

As if flying wasn’t scary enough in itself! We can’t understand what must have gone through this man’s head to do that in his head. He probably thought it would look funny. We honestly don’t think so, do you?

The latest fashion craze

Many of us like to dress fashionably, and if we are one of those who pay attention to that, we can not ignore the recognized brands that are part of this world.

The latest fashion craze

The latest fashion crazeConverse is one of them, and boy does it have fans far and wide. The problem is that this predilection on the part of consumers usually brings with it an increase in product prices, so not everyone can afford these sneakers. We guess this is what happened to the person in this photo. He had no choice but to get them tattooed….

A work of art

Here we have a true work of art, because it not only involves a neat execution with the ink, but here we see applied an important dose of creativity. This tattoo artist certainly does not lack creativity.

A work of art

His brilliant mind found a way to make good use of that abundant hair on that particular part of the arm. The magnificent result is plain to see. He will never have to shave that part of his body ever again…mmm on second thought, it seems a bit grotesque to us.

The most fan of them all

Quite possibly we are here in front of the first fan of the minions, and that led him to get this tattoo on his leg. Honestly, we must say that the drawing is quite well done, presenting no differences with the image we all have in our minds of these little yellow friends.

The most fan of all

What strikes us a bit is the area of the body chosen. Isn’t it strange that he chose to do it on that part of the leg? We hope she lives in an area where it’s not too cold, so she can show it off without inconvenience.

Failed Harry Potter tribute

Surely the boy in the photo is a diehard Harry Potter fan, which is why it crossed his mind to wear that tattoo on his forehead, the mythical lightning bolt that the fictional character wears on his forehead as a reminder of his greatest villain (whom we can’t name).

Failed Harry Potter tribute

The problem is that, unlike Harry, this man is tattooed with a much larger, and quite different lightning bolt than the famous wizard’s. And to top it all off, it’s right there for all to see!

Scary (Part Two)

Did it become a fashion to tattoo a face, or part of one, on the back of the body? As if we had not had enough with the previous image, here we can appreciate a creepy pair of eyes stalking anyone who stands at his back.

Scary (Part Two)

The message he sends leaves no room for doubt: “I’m watching you so watch what you do”. Sounds like a threat to us. Be that as it may, it’s clear that it’s not exactly one of the best tattoos we’ve ever seen….

All wrong!

It’s unclear if this was the responsibility of whoever did the tattoo or whoever received it, but clearly someone fell asleep during school grammar classes.

All wrong!

The errors are beastly! Surely you know that this is the title of a very well known song in English called “It’s my life”, the problem is that here they wrote repeated “it’s, is”. But that’s not all, the worst, and funniest, is the name of the singer “Jon Bon Jovi”, which here they ended up renamed as ‘Jon Bovi’.

So that no one forgets me

It occurs to us that this person walked into the tattoo site and said, “Make me something that so that whoever comes across me will never forget me.”

So that no one forgets me

On the one hand, this tattoo has its poetic side, as if it will always rise from the ashes like the phoenix. But the truth is that the result does not seem to be in tune with what we believe this man asked for. Will he be satisfied? As they say: “There’s no accounting for taste”… or maybe there is?

The most beautiful of them all

Many would agree that Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beautiful women of all time. Of course that opinion is based on the appearance of Marilyn that we all know, like the one we can see in the image, not so on the tattoo. Because of course, if we were to value the beauty of the mythical actress by how the tattoo looked, probably not many would agree that she was an attractive woman.

The most beautiful of them all

Honestly, any child could have drawn a more accurate copy of her face.

An ‘almost’ divine message

We imagine that the wearer of this tattoo intended to send a divine message of protection heavenward. Only there seems to have been a little problem with it, so we’re not sure if it was well received by the recipient.

An ‘almost’ divine message

It happened that instead of ‘protect me’, the tattoo artist wrote ‘protect me’, a horrendous grammatical error that hurts our eyes. A pity because the rest of the image looks well done.

Simple message

It is common when thinking about a tattoo, to opt for something deep, sometimes including some kind of hidden message, something with a particular meaning that only the wearer manages to understand in its entirety. It may be a loved one, a phrase, a symbol or a number, those are usually the most common choices.

Simple message

In this case they chose a chair. We can’t think of what might be behind this tattoo, but it certainly makes us very curious. We think everyone who sees it will ask you why you drew a chair.

Nobody is perfect

Of course, nobody is perfect, especially the person who when tattooing that phrase ended up writing ‘nadien’ instead of nadie. You’ll think it’s a shame, especially considering all the work that must have gone into making it colorful and pretty, only to make such a mistake.

Nobody is perfect

But it’s not like that folks! This mistake was intentional and symbolizes that perfection is not within anyone’s reach. But I’m sure many reading it will interpret that the bearer ruined his arm with a poorly worded message.

Ugly is little

If this person’s goal was to get a hideous tattoo, he has more than succeeded. It seems strange to us that this was the goal, but we find it hard to find any other explanation for this tattoo of a centipede so large and so visible on this man’s face.

Ugly is little

If he wears it proudly, we really don’t understand what will go through his head. We would be sorry to make that choice. Well, we are for his in this case. Are you?

A bad idea

Can anyone feel like getting a tattoo of a huge rooster taking up practically the entire back? Well, it looks like the person in this photo was in the mood for just that.

A bad idea

We don’t think it’s a very popular choice, but everyone is free to choose. Yes we will admit that the drawing is well done, attention to detail has been paid. But we would like to know what was the purpose of getting that tattooed, will you proudly display your tattoo when you go to the beach?

Scary! Episode III

Well, in case you didn’t have enough with the original version and its sequel, here’s the third episode of this “saga”, which seems to get better with each installment.

Scary! Episode III

Not only is the drawing scary already, but the wearer’s hair cropped just to make room for the tattoo makes that face look even worse. It seems to us that the only solution here is to let all the hair grow long. Enough to never have to see this tattoo ever again.

Nothing is missing

This boy has opted for a varied combination of figures, objects and texts to adorn his face and body. In the end, he ends up being like a wall in some recondite part of the city where street artists come to do their graffiti.

Nothing is missing

Honestly we are not convinced by this “approach”, but as we said, everyone is free to choose. Of course, being a living wall of messages, you shouldn’t be alarmed if everyone stares at you when you walk down the street.

The evil goblin

Goblins are usually a symbol of goodness, full of magic and good energy, not for nothing many people choose to put statues of goblins in their gardens. Now, this particular leprechaun looks more like a horror movie character.

The evil goblin

The expression on his face is scary, those empty eyes, the shape of his mouth and the shaded effect don’t exactly make this a sympathetic goblin. In fact, it makes us rethink whether we really like goblins.

Making the most of your hairstyle

For many people going bald is traumatic. But clearly not for everyone. This gentleman, for example, decided to take it with humor, resorting to a tattoo that took advantage of the context.

Making the most of your hairstyle

A little man was then drawn pruning exactly at his hairline. It gives the feeling that the clipper has already gone through all the spaces on the head where there is no more hair. Without a doubt this one takes the prize for the funniest tattoo on the list.

Creepy portrait

Sometimes people turn to tattoos as a way to have a representation of someone we want to remember forever and always carry with us on our own skin. Unfortunately, the idea doesn’t always end up impacting in practice the way we would have imagined.

Creepy portrait

It looks like this person wanted to portray her daughter’s angel face but ended up with a smile that would make even the devil’s own hair stand on end.

Imagination without limits

We do not know if it was a product of a challenge or by choice, it was that this boy ended up tattooing nothing more and nothing less than a gardener who seems to be pruning the hairs that fall from his armpit.

Imagination without limits

Possibly not the most pleasant tattoo to see for people who do not like hair, although we can not fail to mention that it is certainly something creative and original, so we must give it merit. This kind of idea doesn’t occur to just anyone.

A mutant cat?

We have already mentioned it but we repeat it: about tastes there is nothing written. This guy seems to have a predilection for cats, but not the ones we all know, those with a pair of eyes, you know. No. He likes expenses with 15 eyes spread all over the body, 5 ears on the head and 2 more on the back, 2 mouths and at least 6 tails.

A mutant cat?

We don’t really know what happened here. If the tattoo artist didn’t have the skill this guy thought he would or if he just wanted a cat that had fallen victim to radioactive substances.

Are those my pups?

Those who have pets usually feel something very special for them, so it’s no wonder that some people want to get tattoos of their little faces or something that will always remind them of them.

Are those my pups?

This person had the idea to get her 3 puppies tattooed on the same tattoo. But the idea didn’t turn out as he expected: when he saw how it turned out, he himself was not able to recognize the drawings of his little ones. Someone overestimated the tattoo artist’s ability and the experience ended in disaster.

There’s a rat on your foot

While most people prefer to stay as far away from rats as possible, either because they are repulsed by them, because of possible disease transmission, etc., this person preferred to tattoo the image of a huge rodent all over his foot.

There’s a rat on your foot

Beyond the fact that the choice of the tattoo is very strange, it must also be recognized that the drawing looked particularly bad. It doesn’t present too much detail, you can barely recognize the shape of the animal, and in general terms we could say that it looks like a child’s drawing.

Timon and Pumba are you?

We all know the legendary Timon and Pumba. They are arguably some of Disney’s most iconic characters. This seems to be what they look like in the eyes of this tattoo artist.

Timon and Pumba are you?

We don’t know if he did his job under the influence of some dubious substance or if he engaged in malpractice. If it wasn’t for the phrase “Hakuna Matata” we wouldn’t have realized that it was indeed them, it looks like they were hit by a car.

Creepy Portrait, Chapter II

It seems that bad portraits are commonplace when it comes to applying them to tattoos. And of course, it’s not a simple task, there are a variety of things that can go wrong, especially if they are done by someone who doesn’t have a lot of experience. Here we have the case of a father proud of his baby wanted to make a portrait of the little one.

Creepy Portrait, Chapter II

The downside is that the end result is scarier than finding Chucky in a house alone in the middle of the night. The image of a cuddly baby was transformed into a truly creepy image.

Bob Marley?

Here we see what was left when this person asked to get a tattoo of the legendary Bob Marley. It looks like he had undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries, and not exactly with a good doctor.

Bob Marley?

A misshapen nose and lack of hair filler are some of the things that are wrong with this work. Once again, it looks like a child would have done this drawing instead of a professional tattoo artist. The result was far from what the client was expecting.

Originality award

As we have already mentioned, it is very common for tattoos to have a special meaning for those who get them. In this case, it is a real puzzlement what led this person to tattoo a shopping bag with what would appear to be the logo of the supermarket chain Day.

Originality award

Is she a fan of this chain store? Or grocery shopping? Will she have worked at or own a store? We bet there are very few similar tattoos in the world.

Taking things with humor

If you had found the case of the bald man with the lawnmower tattoo comical, you’ll love this one. This person suffers from a genetic condition called Syndactyly, which causes 2 of his toes to basically be stuck together.

Taking things with humor

Well, laughing at this situation the girl tattooed a dotted line with a pair of scissors, as if to say “Cut here”. Probably not the most complex or deep tattoo we’ve ever seen, but we must recognize her sense of humor.

What happened to this lion?

This person is clearly a fan of lions, but we think that after seeing how the tattoo he had ordered turned out, he must have been scared to death, and not for nothing.

What happened to this lion?

The lion’s mouth and mane were acceptable, but we don’t understand what the artist was thinking when he drew those eyes that give this lion an extremely strange facial expression. We bet the client should have gone to another tattoo artist in order to repair the damage, and not be burdened with this attempt at a lion for the rest of his life.

The strangest tattoo

This list has had no shortage of bizarre examples, but none is as bizarre as this drawing of a dirty toilet with a water tank included.

The strangest tattoo

Sure, it would take a prize for originality surely, or the ordinary. We wonder what would have led the wearer of this tattoo to ask for this to carry with him forever on his leg. Although on second thought, we’d rather not know the answer.

No, life is not “easy”

Here’s another case of someone who will have to resort to a second session to repair the damage to his tattoo.

No, life is not “easy”

We don’t know if it was their mistake, their tattoo artist’s mistake, or possibly both, but that life wasn’t easy was evident when they mistakenly ended up spelling “easy” the wrong way. Can you imagine having to carry a spelling mistake tattooed on you for the rest of your life? That must not be easy.

Crocodile skin

We all wish we had crocodile skin, right? No, we really wouldn’t. Except, of course, for the protagonist of this image. His choice of tattoo is certainly eye-catching but it doesn’t inspire us or cause us admiration.

Crocodile skin

In its favor we’ll say that it really creates an optimal effect that makes us look twice. But we definitely don’t like it. We hope this person was happy with their result.

A zero in ‘grammar’

For those who speak or learn English, we also have this ‘little pearl’. Just as it happened in Spanish before, there is no shortage of cases of those who make grammatical mistakes in this other language.

A zero in ‘grammar’

In this image, we see someone who wanted to get a tattoo of the phrase “no regrets” which means he has no regrets. But poor wording has left in its place “no regerts” which completely ruins the purpose of having these words written on the arm. an egregious failure!

I want to be a chessboard

We don’t quite understand this person’s purpose when he chose this tattoo that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. It appeared to be a chessboard along the entire surface of his face.

I want to be a chessboard

Will it be possible to play a game on it? Will there be some hidden meaning behind this piece that we don’t quite understand? Or maybe the man just didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t contemplate the consequences. We bet he’s not without being the target of all kinds of stares as he walks down the street.

Unconditional love

One of two: either it’s a case of unconditional love or simple human stupidity. But for some reason this girl decided to get her idol tattooed on her cheek as a token of adoration.

Unconditional love

It’s not uncommon to make a variety of mistakes during adolescence, you’ll probably have to deal with making amends when you’re older. Will you still like him in the future? In case you haven’t been able to figure it out yet, it’s One Direction’s Harry Styles.

The M&M Eminem

Another case of someone opting to get their idol tattooed somewhere on their body. Although in this case the wearer was a little more discreet in the choice of the place, the meaning is not clear to us.

The M&M Eminem

Yes, we get that it’s a tribute to rapper Eminem, but for some strange reason it’s blue. Could it be that he couldn’t decide between his love for Eminem and the M&M? “OK, then I’ll get both tattooed on the same drawing,” he must have thought.

Tinkerbell in Neverland

You thought the movie ‘Come Away’ was the first fusion of Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, you were wrong, the tattoo artist of this image surpassed director Brenda Chapman with his ingenuity, the only detail is that his result does not seem suitable for children.

83
Tinkerbell in Neverland

The original idea is unknown. Perhaps the client just wanted a magical fairy or requested a fusion of the movies, what is certain is that, the designer got lost in ‘Neverland’.

The smiling chest

At least we know it’s a happy breast. Far from looking sultry, that chest tattoo looks like a joke played on him by the tattoo artist when the tattoo’s owner was sleeping.

46
The smiling chest

The first time this person took off their shirt in front of their significant other or the first time they went to the beach must have been iconic. If your goal is to make people laugh, it’s a success, otherwise your little charro presents a challenge.

The Arachnid Ryan Gosling

This person must have seen a different version of ‘Spider-Man’ than the ones we know. Maybe it’s a time traveler and Ryan Gosling will become the spider-man when he’s old. In any case, this is a strange way to promote it.

214
The Arachnid Ryan Gosling

The tattoo artist of this image probably received a photograph that wasn’t of the actor (at least we want to believe so), otherwise, he deformed the actor’s face completely what was he thinking?

The “homage” to Jon Snow

No, this is not Johnny Depp 20 years older. As unbelievable as it sounds, this is Kit Harington supposedly as ‘Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow.

63
The “homage” to Jon Snow

The joke tells itself. The profile, the hair, lips, clothes, sword, is that even the ‘snowflakes’ don’t look real. The client must have been chilled when he saw this work and not exactly because of the end of the series but for having to carry that tattoo everywhere.

That pulse

We faithfully believe that we are all capable of developing diverse talents, but, you have to take into account our natural abilities. From the pulse of this tattoo artist, a short career in the market is on the horizon.

93
That pulse

A bent sword is as useless in reality as it is in a tattoo. We’re not sure if it’s dollar signs, the letter “S” or some sort of musical note, in any case none of the work was accomplished.

Angelina Jolie?

Quite a warrior in the movie Tomb Raider , but this time Angelina Jolie could not escape the dangers lurking with this tattoo artist. Stiff hair, pronounced nose, deformed lips, enlarged ears, different eyebrows, different profile…

314
Angelina Jolie?

It’s simpler to list the commonalities and it boils down to the accessories she wears on her hands which, by the way, look like they’re from another body because with that size face how could those be her limbs?

A new Joker

The Joker’s cropped smile is one of his signature points. Are the scars on his face an important part, but, in this case they disfigured it.

53
A new Joker

We thought it was impossible to see the Batman villain showing a worse face, but this person’s tattoo artist is quite an expert in the matter. This design left a terrible mark on the client’s arm. Now not only the inhabitants of Gotham City are frightened.

The Christ-Free version

Much has been discussed about the real features of Jesus Christ, there are some agreements with which portraits were made, but in none of them has this form. We respect everyone’s personal vision, but was this really the best the tattoo artist could come up with?

114
The Christ-Free version

Fortunately the drawing is on the client’s back, otherwise they excommunicate this person as soon as he enters the church.

What could he have meant?

You’ve probably heard the saying “God gives his worst battles to his best warriors”. It is a phrase loaded with hope and support for those who are going through difficult experiences.

What could he have meant?

The problem is that at some point during the visit to the tattoo artist’s site the message seems to have been misunderstood, so his words were somewhat jumbled. The result is the incoherent sentence you can read on this person’s arm. We can just imagine people seeing this and thinking: what?

The 35 Most Cringeworthy and Embarrassing Things Americans Actually Said on the Internet

The 35 Most Cringeworthy and Embarrassing Things Americans Actually Said on the Internet

There are a lot of great things about America, but the education system doesn’t seem to be one of them. In fact, there are plenty of examples of American ignorance on social media. Many of these posts are pretty cringe-worthy and sort of embarrassing, especially for Americans who read them. Though we have to admit that they can also be pretty funny so we thought we would share some of these social media posts.

Military Time

There are two ways to tell time. You have the American way and everyone else’s. Countries, excluding the US, use military time when talking about time but America has to be different. Even so, there’s no reason to behave as this individual did.

Military Time

How could someone look at others and question their way of telling time? Who said that America is always right anyway?

Language Barrier

There’s no question that British English is very different from American English. We’re still talking about the same language, though. This person, however, didn’t quite grasp it.

Language Barrier

At least this guy knew that England was in Europe! That looks like a good start, but as for the rest, it seems like they need to go back to school to relearn a few things.

Running Water

Americans don’t get to visit other countries that often and so, sometimes, they just might have wrong notions about how life looks outside the US. However, this person questioning the European plumbing system is quite embarrassing.

Running Water

We really appreciate the Portuguese person’s response. The only thing is that Americans might take them seriously, so they should make it clear that they were just joking!

Date of Birth

In the US, when you write the date, you first put the month, then the day, and finally the year. However, in Europe, as in the rest of the world, you first write the day and not the month. This can be quite confusing for Americans.

Date of Birth

Sadly, this American thought that there was something wrong with the website because they just didn’t realize that they needed to write the date in a different way. 

Shared Borders

North America is bigger than the United States, but sometimes, people in the US just don’t understand that. The education system may have failed to do its job in the case of this individual as they seem to think Canada is just another state.

Shared Borders

This is something that should have even been learned in geography class but clearly wasn’t. How could someone think that the US government has some power over Canada? This is just embarrassing!

Native Americans

When the Europeans landed in North America there were already people living here. This made the first European settlers immigrants.

Native Americans

But, after years of conquering these people, the white settlers took over the land. Clearly, this person did not pay attention in history class and now they are just making a fool of themselves.

Not a Country

The truth is that some people are just bad at geography. Since there are a lot of countries in the world, maybe this person was simply unable to memorize them all. However, there are some countries that most people know about.

Not a Country

One of these is definitely Scotland. Or, maybe we’re wrong? This American was unaware that Scotland was an actual country. Well, at least now they know!

American Literature

One of the most well-known books in the world is the Bible. It has inspired three religions and remained important for over 2,000 years. However, Jesus was not an American and he didn’t write the Bible.

American Literature

We can attribute this false notion to the fact that some Americans think that their country invented everything. In this case, it led to this poorly educated American thinking that Jesus was an American. They seem very sure of themselves which makes this statement even more cringe-worthy.

No Accent

People who speak different languages have also different accents. But, when you come from that country you tend not to hear them. This might make you say crazy things like this person did.

No Accent

Just because as a US native speaker you don’t hear an accent does not mean it isn’t there. We recommend them to go back to school to learn a little about different countries and languages.

Asking for a Friend

When you grow up in a certain country, you get used to all the holidays in that country. If you don’t travel, you might think that everyone else celebrates the same holidays as you. But, that’s just being ignorant.

Asking for a Friend

It’s good that these people are schooling the Americans because clearly, the education system did not! It’s still a little embarrassing that somebody had to do this for them, though!

A Tale of Two Cities

If you look at many city names in the US you will find that they share the names with many cities across the world. But, if you weren’t taught that in school, you might find yourself embarrassing yourself on social media.

A Tale of Two Cities

This person, however, is making the case for the poor education system by not realizing that Rome is a city somewhere else in the world. This is wrong on so many different levels.

Protestors

The United States was founded after declaring independence from England. The fact that this person doesn’t realize this was done by protesters, who later turned into revolutionists, is a clear indication that they lack proper education.

Protestors

At least another American opened their eyes to the truth. We think it’s unacceptable that this American doesn’t know their own history. It’s not like they were expected to know that England once ruled India.

Wrong Flag

The use of emojis and emoticons is a great way to make posts on social media much easier. However, if you’re going to use flags, you should definitely make sure you use the right ones. Mistaking your own country flag for another is a gross mistake.

Wrong Flag

Sure, that flag has all the right colors and even a star. But, the fact that this American didn’t realize that the flag only had one star seems like a sign that they need to go back to school for a little while.

Turned Around

Columbus Day in the US is a very controversial holiday — so controversial, in fact, that many states don’t celebrate it anymore. Instead, they celebrate Native American Heritage day. However, there are some that think it’s important to keep the holiday alive.

Turned Around

This is what we call the proper response. Maybe there is still hope for the American education system after all. 

Rising Temperatures

The metric system is not used in the United States, and that’s why many Americas sometimes find temperature calculations very confusing. But, just because you’re not used to it doesn’t mean that it’s stupid.

Rising Temperatures

Maybe this person should go back to school and learn a little about the rest of the world. The metric system is a lot more commonly used than they think.

Made in the US of A

Americans tend to think that they are the center of the world and that they have invented pretty much everything. While most of us — the educated folk — knows that’s not the case, some appear to be less fortunate.

Made in the US of A

While Tim Berners-Lee is an American whose name is often associated with the invention of the internet, it was actually invented in CERN. Lee began writing the first internet protocol only six months after.

State Recognition

Not knowing your own country’s geography and history is just sad. This person didn’t know Rhode Island’s abbreviation nor that it was a state in their own country. Let’s begin by making sure that Americans actually know this.

State Recognition

Then, after we get them to realize that they have states like Rhode Island, we can move on to educate them about the rest of the countries in the world.

Mesuring Time

Military time isn’t used in the US. When presented with this magnificent invention, this American had one simple request — that it would show time the American way.

Measuring Time

The day does not work in 12-hour cycles. The day is divided into 24 hours and that is why military time is used. They really need to add this to the school curriculum!

Geographically Challenged

It sometimes seems like Americans think they’re the center of the world. Primarily this is because their education system is not great.

Geographically Challenged

However, one subject that cannot be changed is geography. Clearly, this American did not do well in this subject! It’s pretty well-known that Europe and North America don’t share borders!

Not Sure About That

Despite the fact that the US has an impressive automobile industry, Americans were not the ones who invented the car. It was, indeed, invented in Germany, by Carl Benz. We think we know why this guy thought that cars were invented in the US, though.

Not Sure About That

Henry Ford revolutionized car production in the US and made cars affordable for everyone. There is also a good chance that this just comes from a pure American sense of entitlement and self-importance.

World Geography

The Earth is divided into two hemispheres: Northern and Southern. This guy seemed to have a hard time understanding that not everything revolves around the US, after all.

World Geography

This person, though, explained it in terms that they could understand. But the fact this even had to be done is just embarrassing! After all, there’s a lot more in this world than just the US of A!

Right Word

There are tons of words in the English language, and everyone can be used in different ways depending on the type of English you use. For instance, in the US soccer means soccer, and everywhere else soccer means football.

Right Word

But, once again, the American here proves that some of them are just ignorant. But, even after someone tries to help them out they are still refuse to accept it.

A Country Within a Country

It seems that one of the worst subjects for Americans is geography. Clearly, this woman had troubles with this subject. We recommend she reads a little about the history of South Africa.

Country Within Country

Although she could have easily looked it up on the internet, she still ended up posting things like this. So embarrassing! But the person who responded could have been a little nicer about her ignorance. After all, it’s not her fault.

Change of Date

When you’re taught how to do something, it can be quite confusing when you see that other people do it in a whole different way. Take, for instance, writing dates.

Change of Date

But, you don’t have to embarrass yourself like this person. You can simply google to see what’s going on. There’s no need to insult anyone else because you don’t understand their methods!

Proper Order

There are some Americans that get very defensive when it comes to the way they were taught in. This person is trying to prove their point when it comes to dates.

Proper Order

But, because they’ve never been outside the US, they just ended up embarrassing themselves. Many of these misunderstandings could have been avoided if the education system did a better job.

Foreign Correspondence

The inner workings and concepts of the internet should be understood by everyone. But, it appears that some Americans don’t understand the concept of the World Wide Web.

Foreign Correspondence

This is definitely a flaw in their education that needs to be desperately addressed before more embarrassing moments like this would appear on the internet.

Good Call

Most of the world uses the metric system. We cannot understand why there are still countries that haven’t switched to it as well. In truth, many Americans feel the same way.

Good Call

But, there are some that try to defend the use of the imperial system as best as they can. Unfortunately for this person, they did so in sort of an ignorant way. They just need a little help, and they will get the point!

Running Water

There are a lot of misconceptions by Americans when it comes to the rest of the world. For some reason, if it’s a country that they’re not familiar with, they tend to think that it’s underdeveloped.

Running Water

But, the fact is that this is just a lack of education when it comes to the rest of the world. We still find it hard to believe that some Americans can be that silly.

Not a Country

Most Americans know that there are a lot of great things in Europe. It has a rich history and a diverse culture. But, they also sometimes forget that from a geographical standpoint, Europe is a continent!

Not a Country

The fact this person called it a country tells us a lot about their level of education. Or maybe they just were not paying attention in class that day!

Stepping Back

There are a lot of people that want to save money in the US and one of the best ways to do that is by not owning a car. So, this person here is on the right track.

Stepping Back

However, their response to a logical suggestion clearly shows that the education system in the US is flawed.

Our Invention

Everything was created in the US, right? Sometimes, because our educational system focuses on what America has brought to the world, it may seem like America has created everything. But, this is kind of embarrassing!

Our Invention

The fact that this person thought they invented something that the US doesn’t even use is just ridiculous. Looks like someone here has to go back to school and learn a thing or two.

Country Flag

Having the feeling that everything revolves around America is a problem. The fact that this person thinks that climate change only affects the US is a clear example of flawed thinking.

Country Flag

Perhaps they didn’t get the memo — climate change affects everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live. That’s why it’s a global problem.

Independence Day

We wonder what made that person ask this silly question. No seriously, this is a whole new level of ignorance. Why would anyone celebrate a national holiday unless they actually come from that country?

Independence Day

At least someone tried to teach them something about other countries’ national holidays, albeit unsuccessfully, judging by their reaction.

Refrigeration

It can be scary to move to another country. There will be different things to learn, and they may have different living standards than you are used to. It can be quite a cultural shock, especially for Americans.

Refrigeration!?

But, the fact that this person was scared that the UK didn’t have fridges seems a little too much. Luckily, someone was there to help with the misunderstanding in a very British way.

There are so many things that are wrong with this post.  Not only did they paint the wrong flag on this barn, but they seem to think Facebook isn’t letting them share it because of their supposed patriotism!

Someone needs to take a few courses at the nearest community college to help prevent future embarrassing posts like this one — or at least google things before posting them!
