“Fix it in post” is a phrase uttered by filmmakers who screw up a shot but don’t want to undertake the time-consuming process of redoing it and hope that the editor will remove or obscure the mistake in post-production to make it less apparent to the viewer.
Judging from some of the posts on the subreddit r/WellThatSucks, however, it seems that contractors also live by these words. But when their Plan B fails, the consequences are much bigger than a broken suspension of disbelief. Like a hallway that looks like a scene from the Titanic.
Scrolling through this online community, we at Bored Panda noticed many more reasons why homeowners end up getting a feature there, with natural disasters and failing appliances being the most popular ones. So we published a collection of all the misfortunes that caught them off guard. Then another one. And now it’s time for the third rendition of things you wouldn’t like to find in your house.
