Welcome to the hall of heroic almosts, where confidence outpaces competence, and the laws of physics always win. These are moments where people held faith until seconds before disaster, and still came out thinking things went ok.
Every photo captures the perfect amount of effort and chaos, but hey, everyone tried.
So clean those glasses, lower your expectations, and get ready to celebrate these sorry souls. Because hey, at least they keep the internet interesting.
