Hilarious photos of shoddy workmanship show the blunders people make when they’re not paying attention

It’s often easy to see when someone doesn’t like their job, because they are usually found slacking – and these images show just that. 

People from around the world spotted hilarious fails which clearly represent the employee’s lack of work ethic and Bored Panda collated the best into a gallery.

The amusing examples included a bookshop worker, thought to be based in the US, who bizarrely lined up serial killer true crime books under the ‘new hobby’ section.

Meanwhile, Cornwall-based author Martin Dorey fumed after his book titled No More Plastic was wrapped in plastic by publishers.

Someone else ordered a trophy with simple instructions for it to not be engraved however what they received was the complete opposite.
