26 Funny Facepalm Moments

The true mark of a facepalm moment is how enthusiastically someone forges ahead into wrongness. It’s a beautiful thing to witness, really. If you haven’t been loud and wrong at least once in your life, you’re not really living. One guy who was hands-deep in a protest can attest to this. In an effort to show his displeasure with the logging industry, he cemented his hands into a bridge to block the logging trucks that frequented it. Unfortunately, it was the wrong bridge. 

These are the little moments that make you feel truly alive right before praying for death. 

Thankfully, there are plenty more facepalm-worthy moments where that came from, including one about a girl who clearly has never heard of a library.
