From washing machine fires to make-believe girlfriends: Some of Snapchat's most embarrassing 'life fails' that have taken the internet by storm
In the days before electronic technology and social media, humanity's most embarrassing moments could often be swept under the rug and forgotten.
But now, they are often immortalised by the camera phone and splashed on the internet for the whole world to see.
From the slapstick to the downright idiotic, some of the most hilarious 'life fails' have been doing the rounds on Snapchat recently.
Below are some examples of the best, or worst, of embarrassing gaffes that have ended up online, for your enjoyment.
They include a grandmother shouting at a pelican, to a first-time washing machine user setting their appliance on fire.
This won't wash: We're not entirely sure how this bathroom handyman thought customers were going to clean their hands after he stuck a solid bar of soap in a dispenser that is obviously meant for liquid
Couple problems: The lady on the left has got dressed up for a saucy evening in with her man, but he seems entirely more occupied with his virtual football match. Meanwhile the couple on the right are in fact not a couple at all, but a man pretending his 'girlfriend' has taken a picture of him. On reflection, he probably should have paid more attention to the mirror in the background
Ropy parenting: This father clearly had the best intentions at heart when he decided to give his little girl a piggyback on a rope swing at a children's play area, but the inevitable happened and the youngster can be seen in an 'after' photo with her head stuck in the foam blocks below as her legs flail helplessly above the surface
Blaze of laundry: Not only did the Snapchat user on the left manage to setting the washing machine , but clearly thought to take his hilarious photo before attempting to put it out. On the right, a kitchen explosion has caused stains to fly all over the walls and ceiling, in which a pan lid has somehow been lodged
Access denied: This brazen message from one Playstation user to another was never likely to work. It is not known if the two know each other, but the Snapchat caption would suggest not
Pecking order: The pelican on the left appears to be bowing its head as it receives a irate lambasting from a grandmother it has just bitten during a trip to the seafront. Meanwhile, we can only assume the woman who had prepared the food on the right is not a smoker
Odd one out: This hungry diner was placed at number 139 in the queue, but was clearly unamused when numbers 140 and 141 were allowed to skip in front of him in the queue, with his food nowhere to be seen
Food fiasco: An unlucky cook was making a pot of vegetables and beef when the bottom broke off, spilling the dinner all over the stove. On the right, someone panicked when they saw a bee in their car, flinging their fast food all over the vehicle
Good effort: A school proved they might not be the smartest ones in the district with this medal/metal mix-up
Car trouble: This driver on the left is about to have a tricky commute. As for the one on the right, their situation looks a bit more dangerous considering their engine has burst into flames
Should I tell him?: An old man's dog seems to be taking a swim without the knowledge of its owner
Awkward: This woman is having an embarrassing day after an unfortunate slip of the tongue in front of teens
A Snapchat user makes light of what is clearly an expensive mistake by showing off their completely destroyed flat screen
How to NOT pass your driver's test 101: This new driver inexplicably crashed their car in a nearly empty parking lot
Life comes at you fast: One Snapchat user was excited to eat their giant spiral of ice cream only to have their dreams crushed
No thanks: The unfortunate shrubbery growth may have deterred people interested in learning about canals
Time to rethink the wedding monogram: This couple should reconsider how they are going to arrange their initials before they print out their wedding invitations
Lasagna saga: One unlucky cook went through a roller coaster of emotions while trying to make a lasagna
Hmm really?: This poster creator might want to make better choices and rethink this factually inaccurate slogan
Invisible: This high schooler's yearbook photo is non-existent because of the awkward book binding
Too hot to handle: The cold ice glass was too much of a cold shock for this hot glass table in this cautionary Snapchat
REKT: This vanity license plate is a hilariously accurate fit for this Toyota's condition
At least those clothes will be clean?: A Snapchat user shows someone used a bit too much detergent in this unfortunate laundry mishap
A bad morning: On the left, a Snapchatter shows how their mom thinks she is charging her phone when she really just has the audio jack plugged in. The right side shows someone having a bad day after dropping their last roll of toilet paper in the bowl

'I am a woman, therefore, I bleed': Yogi films herself bleeding through her white pants to stand up against the stigma around periods
- Austin, Texas-based yoga instructor Stephanie Góngora shared the video of herself working out while bleeding freely last week
- She has since been inundated with messages ranging from enthusiastic support to outright vitriol and even death threats
Every woman has experienced that stressful moment when your period has arrived at an inconvenient moment, ruining a favorite pair of underwear or pants - and most also know the embarrassment that comes with trying to hide the stain.
Now, one Austin, Texas-based yoga instructor is taking a stand against the long-running stigma surrounding menstruation by sharing a powerful video of herself doing tough yoga poses as she bleeds through a pair of stark white yoga pants.
The video shows Stephanie Góngora, who is known as casa_colibri on Instagram, making her way through a series of moves in a white top, white pants and her dreadlocks tied back with a white headband.
Baring all: Austin, Texas-based yoga instructor Stephanie Góngora recently went viral with a video showing her practicing yoga in white while on her period
Making a statement: Stephanie came up with the idea after hearing from several friends who were asked to make period-themed sponsored posts
At certain points, the red stain between her legs is very clearly visible.
'I am a woman, therefore, I bleed,' she wrote in the caption, as she shared the clip with her 265,000 followers.
‘It’s messy, it’s painful, it’s terrible, & it’s beautiful. And yet, you wouldn’t know. Because I hide it,' she added.
‘I bury things at the bottom of the trash. I breathe, ragged and awkward through the cramps, all the while holding onto this tight lipped, painted on smile.'
SHARE THIS ARTICLE
On her own: After learning her friends were deterred by the stigma around menstruation, she decided to make her own video, without any sponsorship
No stopping: Stephanie shows off her incredible form as she moves through the tough poses
Making a mark: After sharing the video, Stephanie revealed that she was inundated with both positive and negative messages
She went on to lament how tampons are hidden with shame, and how she has felt forced to cancel social engagements at risk of being 'caught', adding: '“caught,” at what…I’m not quite sure.’
In an article for Cosmopolitan.com, Stephanie revealed that she came up with the idea after hearing that several friends had been offered a supply of tampons from an organic brand in exchange for doing a period-related Instagram post - but that they had been too wary of the stigma to go ahead with it.
'Their internal struggle over posting about something they believed in really hurt my heart,' she said. 'I've grown into a very thick skin, and even though I used to be quite shy, some things need to be said, and in this case, done.'
So, Stephanie decided to make her own post, without any kind of sponsorship attached, to make a statement.
A bit extreme: Some of those responding even told her to kill herself or threatened to kill her
No regrets: Stephanie viewed the post as a success for having opened up a conversation around the stigma
During a period, she decided to not replace her tampon and just film herself working out as the blood flowed, eventually leaking onto her pants. She described feeling 'uncomfortable' with the feeling at first, but that it was 'greatly overshadowed by a quiet sense of contentment.'
Upon posting the video, Stephanie quickly realized it 'was just as provocative as I'd expected,' with thousands of comments ranging from enthusiastic support to outright contempt and even death threats.
But despite the vitriolic comments now littering her posts, Stephanie claims she has also received 'hundreds, if not thousands of direct messages with period stories, and leak stories, thanks you's, and people admitting that they were shocked and disgusted by my post — but only until they began to consider why they felt that way.'
She concluded her post by deeming the experiment a success, in that it opened conversations about the taboo.
