We’ve all had those moments where common sense takes a break, those seconds when someone, somewhere, decided “this should totally work” right before everything went sideways.

These moments capture the strange ability people have to leap before taking a second look, to be trusting no matter what, and to commit fully to ideas that maybe shouldn’t have gone out of the brainstorm stage.

Let them work as a reminder that while human creativity can be amazing, it can also be catastrophic. These images prove that even in the most ordinary settings, the extraordinary talent for shutting off our common sense can transform any normal day into a disaster.
