35 Times People Wondered How Someone So Clueless Was Still Alive
Making mistakes is an inevitable part of being human. From childhood onward, we all make blunders, but what truly matters is how we learn from them. This process refines our survival skills, helps us minimise risks, and enables us to adapt to our environment.
Current generations enjoy far greater advantages. With unprecedented access to information and widespread public awareness campaigns, we are better warned about potential dangers. Nevertheless, people still engage in remarkably careless behaviours that put them in easily preventable, life-threatening situations, as seen on the ‘ Oops, That’s Deadly ‘ subreddit. The gallery below highlights some surprisingly reckless individuals, prompting us to wonder how they’ve managed to survive this long—and for how much longer they can continue to do so.
#1 I Don’t Think That’s A Pet, You Shouldn’t Invite It Into Your Car
#2 I’m Allergic To Cats And He Scratched Me
#3 Had Both My Bathrooms Flooded With Poison Gas
Yes so I live in Turkey currently and my house has a septic tank, and apparently a government worker came by to check it because we have had way too many mosquitoes this year, and apparently there were thousands of them in there and he freaked out and pumped an unnamed horrible dense oily gas poison into my septic tank.
Bathrooms here have a drain in the floor so that when you’re cleaning it you can just squeegee the water right into the drain. And houses with septic tanks, it’s assumed that you will be using said drain on a frequent basis so that there is a water lock keeping nasty methane smells and also in this case poison gas from seeping up into your house. But I don’t use it so that s**t came right in.
An hour after this was done, my amazing teammate of a cat woke me up and let me know there was a problem. The air purifier in my sitting room was going insane, and there was this dense horrible chemical smell as I left my curtained bedroom.
I immediately aired out the area, but this stuff is so persistent that some of it hung around underneath my bed and I had to use a two fan combo to get it out in the middle of the night. Same deal for my downstairs bathroom, both my bathrooms just have one small window for ventilation and that’s it. I actually had to take care of the downstairs bathroom the next morning and the gas was still there.
So yeah, thanks for letting me ramble, hope I don’t get cancer, hope my cats don’t get cancer. I’m glad those mosquitoes are gone though, the biggest among them were a solid centimeter long and they would shake off being smacked, you have to roll them to break their wings and legs or they get back up and keep flying while flipping you off.
Here’s a photo of my 13-year-old kitty Cutie, who let me know there was something going on. I rescued him 3 years ago and I adore him so so much. The best boy

#8 Finally Found Where My Lint Trap Is
Lived in my apartment for 3 years and ignorantly thought I didn’t have a lint trap in my dryer. Found out it’s under the handle on the top of it, but since it was hard to pull up, I figured it was something else and I didn’t want to break it and get management mad at me. Finally figured out that if I pull it towards me, it’ll come out. Got lucky today. So glad I got some radioactively bright red towels that clogged the inside of my dryer and proved to me that I do indeed have a lint trap I need to manually clean.

Shanilou Perera
Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
