Sometimes you need a good old fashioned fail in your life in order to put things in perspective. These images are here to provide.

Failure can make us all feel a little better about ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of schadenfreude every now and again. What is schadenfreude, you ask? It’s a funny little German word that explains that feeling of joy you get when you see someone else suffer. Psychologist Cristian Cecconi was even quoted in Science News saying schadenfreude can “help us understand ourselves and our relationships with others.” There is science behind why we sometimes feel a little good when folks around us feel a little bad. It’s a part of human nature, and we shouldn’t judge ourselves too hard for feeling it. It’s good to indulge every now and again, just to make sure that we’re still human. That’s what we’re here to do today with these design fails.
