The famous Irish poet and playwright, Oscar Wilde, was known to have said, “Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.” There is no living and learning without mistakes and very often they are also a good reason to laugh. Look around and you will see dozens of silly and hilarious mistakes people make without even noticing them.

Bright Side has collected some funny shots depicting silly mistakes people make in everyday life. Will you recognize the moments of your own life in any of these shots?
