  1. cowboys suck says:

    here’s a real link to the real fail. click the name!

  2. Rute Mantee says:

    Please close your eyes before reading

  3. pedantic says:

    Mmm.. Paradox Win

  4. velvet says:

    But, what if you open the lid before closing? Then what happens?

  5. hoof hat says:

    safety first

  6. velvet says:

    What is that thing, anyways? It looks like it’s in a video rental store.

  7. cosmopolit3 says:

    no, this is no fail. it is pure logic, and sadly not everyone has it. If it was written “always open lid before opening”, then it would be fail…

    But, please, always behave before behaving before writing here before writing here.

  8. Blue2thFairy says:

    I always close the lid.

  9. Skwerlly Bob says:

    If I have to close the lid before opening it,
    then I should also open the lid before closing it.
    BUT if the lid is halfway what should I do then?

    I hate this job. I have to think. I have to do things.
    Should I do anything before thinking about it or
    should I think about it before I doing anything?

    I need a break. Is my paycheck ready yet?

  10. Malicite says:

    In Russia, close opens you!

  11. I'm a Computer says:

    happy friday you obese turd burglars. don’t accidentally call 911 on yourselves while burglarizing turds tonight.

  12. thammuzzy says:

    correct definition of paradoxical fail

  13. lucas says:

    NO! SNAKE! You’ve created a time paradox!

  14. Ben says:

    This is not a fail. When you return a video, you put it inside the lid (which holds the video). When you close the lid, it’s supposed to drop the video into a bucket inside the store. Therefore, if the lid was not closed by the person before you, then for safety you should CLOSE the lid before OPENING it again.

    GET IT???

    You guys=Understanding FAIL.

  15. Aja says:

    What Is With Those Capitals?

    • velvet says:

      They suck every year at the end of the NHL season. That’s why most fans call them the Crapitals.

      • Ryannon says:

        Kind of like the Dolphins of Hockey?

        • velvet says:

          Exactly, Ryannon. The Caps are the only team in history to get beat 4-0 in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

        • Cloral says:

          Hey now, the Dolphins were pretty good this year. Sure they lost in the playoffs, but after going 1-15 a 11-5 season is damn impressive. And if memory serves, they won the last several regular season games to get into the playoffs as the AFC east champs. So to say they sucked at the end of the season would be pretty far off.

          • Aja says:

            Nothing to do with hockey, but I just read that Bill Frindall has died.
            A sad day for cricket.

          • Ryannon says:

            They suck period. I am a Floridian by birth, support any other team from Florida, hate the Dolphins. They could win the superbowl and still suck in my mind. pffffft pfthooey

            • DrB says:

              Those first three words, Ry. You know I’m a pretty casual ’round the cycle kinda guy, and happy to learn…but…I just couldn’t…I don’t think…
              .
              Ok, now I’m curious…

  16. Funnyboi says:

    It’s funny because it’s a paradox.

  17. ccuto says:

    your body fits me like a glove

  18. Ashley says:

    So make sure you close the lid, even if its already closed, that way youll be extra safe! lol

  19. r-turd says:

    i am shiva, god of closed lids. please open me, before you close yourself

  20. capt. awesome says:

    Anpu solved this riddle years ago, but he won’t tell anyone the answer. He says you have to figure it out on your own.

  21. asdfawe says:

    Failblog FAIL!

    No pics show up for me

  22. JOhn Matthies says:

    LOL, makes perfect sense to me it does!

    RT
    http://www.internet-privacy.us.tc

  23. Sunny says:

    This one made me stare off into space and think.

  24. walnutter says:

    All this time i’ve been opening before closing… i could of been killed. no more spring snakes to the eyes for me!

  25. selken says:

    For safety always fail before fail xD

  26. Luke says:

    It makes sense considering the device in question is a paint mixer.

    Should say “For safety, always close paint pail lid before opening mixer” though to make it less paraxodical.

  27. fighterhawk says:

    In this photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, a collapsed 60-meter-long (197 feet) section of Jintang Bridge falls onto a cargo ship after an accident near the eastern seaport of Ningbo, of east China’s Zhejiang Province on Thursday, March 27, 2008. Four crew members remain missing, according to Chin

  28. bubs AKA vermin says:

    paradoxes are SO much fun. XD

  29. Kutagari says:

    Truthfully, this would be more an “obvious fail”, seeing as how you can’t open something without having it closed first.

    • drek says:

      exactly, this is not even a paradox its completly logical, to the point of being too obviuous. and this post is a “fail blog fail” :P

  30. WryGrin says:

    … wut?

  31. straightline says:

    I agree with drek

  32. Laser Wolf says:

    Y’know, that actually makes sense. The lid would have to be closed before you can open it.

  33. You are all stupid. This isn’t a paradox. It’s a contradiction. A paradox is something that only seems illogical but isn’t.
