20 People Who Stared Disappointment in the Face

From being royally let-down with a “pizza” in Italy to craft attempts that didn’t quite hit the mark, these people know what disappointment looks like. However, it’s especially painful if you’ve spent almost $19 on a piece of bread and smashed avocado, or the cake you made for your daughter turns out to be a disaster. We must simply learn from our mistakes, keep our heads held high, and not let these things ruin our day.

At Bright Side, we believe people deserve a second chance, so we’re sharing some instances where people haven’t quite made it to the top yet but will one day.
