its just so great
FIRST !!
ohh what for an great idea
Who the hells fault is that!? lol
That faucet is probly rotatable, but thats still not a good idea.
*squeezes Firsty for trying*
Where would the faucet rotate to?
Would it rotate to SPACE?
No, that’s what I thought.
that’s not a faucet, that’s a suicide machine
you forgot the first rule of Fight Club
Sprung from cages out on highway 9?
Hahaha, the shadow looks like a dick, hahah… oh.. wait.. I don’t think that, thát was the fail..
*does a double take*
*wipes glasses on shirt*
*smacks self*
O…M…G!!!
I get it! it was designed by Japanese man who had dreams of inventing a water heater, so he would plug the water heater in there and use the faucet to fill it with water without ever having to move the heater, its brilliant! ;b
Its rotatable so they can turn on the faucet and have “Clean” energy lol
Rotate to where? There’s a wall in the way.
from here, looks like second…
Not first fail
NOT!
so am I the only one who noticed the deck faucet and socket are all on the same plane. So not only who puts the faucet and socket together, but who does that on a floor?
So maybe you’re supposto wash your feet a heated tub using the faucet and someone forgot to install the tub..
Gets my volt
it’s an instant-shortcircut
does anyone else get a popup with Lijit search each time they come here?
Yes
whats a popup
i think i set ff to block it the first time i visited here so i haven’t seen one since
nope i got ad blocker on
That’s a faucet with a “shocking” design… got it? “shocking” ha ha ha
First…. Godamnit!
Did she die?
Perfect. Morning electrocution. What a way to finally wake up.
Yes, it could be pretty shocking
May give you a morning buzz better than caffeine!
I am in no need for that current-ly
The plumber should be AMPly rewarded
Watt do you think? Did he misread “sink” as “outlet”?
Ohm, erm maybe?
What a flux up.
You may ask yourself, what does using that faucet lead to?
♪♫ Letting the days go by/ water flowing under-grounded ♪♫
The incompetence of contractors nowadays is shocking.
resistance is futile!!
You need to find an outlet for your excess energy.
Electrocution WIN!
*picks up morning paper to read about hydro-electric current affairs*
well played, sir.
Don’t tase me, bro.
*reaches gleefully for taser*
Damn, second! That guy ain’t smart about architecture and designing.
*turns faucet on and got electrocuted*
Ouch!!!

American ?
Not unless I’m very confused about who’s been running the country I’ve lived in all my life
this is awesome.
title win!
Wow, now that is electrifying!
*makes note to buy faraday cage for tap use*
… otherwise you may be headed into the code blue again.
Is it me or anyone else thinks the shadow of the tap looks like a bent penis ?
You should see a doctor!
Indeed. A bent that much should be fixed.
I suggest a splint, or try ramming it in a plug hole until crispy
*attempts suggested penis repairs*
*writhes in pain on floor*
yup, now I definitely need a real doctor.
*squeezes*
*squeezes bye bye*
Have fun!

I see the fail, there’s no plug so all the water will drain away.
now how did I miss that?
*squeeze*
Socket to me!
*squeeze*
*hugs Moomin* I so love that you go there ^_^
I think you’ve got your wires crossed.
*threadsqueeze*
I have my feet on the earth though.
*headsqueeze*
I have a neutral feeling about this fail.
Hey, that’s my line!
*squeezes all around*
I thought you were the live wire?
*shocking squeeze*
It’s nice that you stay grounded.
*shocksqueeze*
Breaker breaker, what’s your 220, good buddy?
*zapsqueeze*
This comment is so made of win!
I think the instructions to the “contractor” went something like this:
“Please install an outlet under the tap”.
So he did.
Certainly the most epic placement fail EVA !!!
It’s probably the children’s play area as well!
plug this and tap that
Socket to me. It turns me on.
I think I may have loose connection, could be a short
long time no *squeeze!*
There’s something in your shorts, but it’s not loose.
*shortssqueeze*
…. just a matter of using the right adapter, now where did I leave that catflap?
Don’t talk to me.
FAIL!
Good morning Cherry!
*hands Cherry a “Jolt” soda*
Ooh, Jolt! Can I have one?
*gives Brewski her best cute look*
*hands over 2 cans*
Careful. Don’t use those all in one place.
*squeeze*
*squeeze*
Thanks, I needed these today.
*downs the two cans of Jolt*
I once drank 5 cans in less than an hour. Then I cleaned the entire apartment. My mom thought I was insane until I explained what happened.
Is jolt big over there? We have Monster over here nowadays. (I don’t really like cola drinks, so it suits me)
*squeezesforall*
*hands Lurk 5 cans of Jolt Cola, a vacuum cleaner and mop, and ushers into house*
I don’t think Jolt is big at all, I never see it. Energy drinks are the fad right now. I prefer tea or coffee to those gross sugary drinks, personally. They taste like cough medicine.
*sigh*
You only love me for my cleaning skills.
I’ve never heard of Monster. I used to buy Jolt all the time.
*does her best commercial announcer’s voice*
“With real sugar and twice the caffeine!”
*goes back to her regular voice*
I can’t find it here in Podunk, Nebraska, though.
He mixed it up right in the kitchen sink.
*enthusiastic JUDYSQUEEZE*
Sorry, that Jolt currently has me kinda wired.
With imagination/ thought, this could be a fun game!
ROFL
Could it be a gas pipe instead of water? The end of the pipe looks like something is supposed to be attached to it, maybe some sort of tube.
Still not too smart to place it right above an electrical socket though.
Well I think its a safety feature. In the event of an electrical fire, the waters right there….
I didn’t know the Halliburton subsidy KBR did interior design and construction.
No contractor would ever have done this.
Fail fail.
LOL you obviously have no knowledge of new home construction and how utterly idiotic some contractors are. My personal favorite was the contractor who attached the vanity top to the en suite vanity before installation (already a WTF moment), then he couldn’t get it through the bathroom door he’d already framed – so he cut the vanity in half from front to back with a chainsaw (including the counter and the built-in sink), then used Elmer’s Glue to attach the two pieces back together. Needless to say, the homeowners weren’t thrilled.
Then there were the contractors who wouldn’t spring for drop cloths, so there was paint all over the brand-new carpets of a 120-unit condo. They also skimped on firewalls and support beams; two years after the complex was built, it was condemned by the fire department and had to be torn down to the foundations.
Oh, and the contractor who left big cracks in the drywall because “the paint would fill them right up”.
I’m not saying all contractors are lying, cheating idiots, but those that are make it difficult for the ones that are honest and intelligent.
Would Mike Holmes have a job if everyone did it right the first time?
douchebag
Shouldn’t that outlet have a GFI socket in it if it’s going to be that close to water…
You get electricity on tap!
you plug in the boiler and you fill it with water.
IT’S SO CLEVER!
Mr Crispy’s house
-he forgot to duck.
Pancakes?
would love some!
*bathes in the electron stream*
I like how you accelerated that
You idiot! I said tap in to their electricity supply..oh forget it!
anyone else think it could be a gas tap? like the ones you get in a science block for attaching bunsens to?
If it is a gas tap, it’s illegal to have that kind of valve on it, and I don’t think you’re allowed have a screw on attachment either. I would !imagine it’s a water tap for their garden hose or something.
Not really.
Never mind the outlet/faucet error…who puts a faucet without a SINK??? DUH!!!!
+90 points.
My thoughts exactly. Way to go! *high five* *misses*
that is the nice extra: Buy a house and get a taser (-zap) for free!!
…. btw nikola tesla would have liked it… if was a high-voltage socket!!
That’s just latest fashion
o,O How very amusing.
ZOMG BANANAS
It almost looks like some kind of lab setup – perhaps that isn’t water but a gas hookup for a burner? I’m not sure I’ve seen one with a gooseneck before, though…
It’s a water tap. I work in that building. It really is set up that way, believe it or not.
I did contractor something when I drank from that tap
*knows exactly what Granny is talking about*
*still suffering the consequences*
*hopes he managed to stem the flow*
I say WIN!
“Kids wash your hands before you eat”
“But mom”
“No buts, just wash your hands NOW!”
*zzzzzzzt*
ITS A SUICIDE FAUCET XD!!!
Jeez the outlet isn’t even GFI…suicide faucet, indeed!
only stupid americans can do this….
Oh stop bragging!
I say architect fail. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was just like this on the plans.
That’s why you never let a suicidal architect design your house!
Multi task freak WIN–wash hair and plug in blow dryer at same time….ooops, thar she blows….
This is not a fail. It would only be a fail if the outlet was live and the faucet was plumbed in. Without that evidence, then this is neither a fail or a win.
I think it’s just an old faucet that someone stood next to the electrical outlet to create a funny pic. It’s just free-standing and is not connected to anything.
I work at this location, Berkeley Castle on the the Esplanade in Toronto. I assure you it’s was a functioning faucet. We had building maintenance shut off the water to the faucet because.. that is a live outlet.
I don’t see a problem here, I mean, what could POSSIBLY go wrong??
Lol There is a Chair next to the window so people can watch somebody turn the faucet on.
*Help my hair is on Fire*
Somebody’s certification wasn’t current…
that made my butt pucker!!!
Just remember to put the plug in first.
What should I plug in there?
Must have been designed by a GA tech grad….
LOOKIE!! Water AND Electricty! My two favorite forms of foreplay!
Where can I find this…..?
Umm… where’s the sink? Or is it just a random faucet for flooding/cleaning/electrifying your countertop?
Is there a patent on this awesome drinking fountain?
Polish Plumbers
Wow, two fails in one!
It’s a gas pipe. If you didn’t spend all your time skipping chemistry class to make lolz you would know…
!)(*$%LK
It must be abstract art.
Photoshop! Pretty obvious
Nope, I work in the building where this is. I see it and laugh when I’m up there eating lunch.
dick
not mike
thats not a fail its A WIN!!!!
Wow – the faucet of death – the easiest way to kill yourself…
Turn the tap to receive an award!
(…unfortunately for you, it’s a Darwin Award.)
Blatant photo-shop job. Epic fail, lame-o.
Anyone else question if the water dispensed from the faucet contain electrolytes before assuming it was dangerous?
“Welcome to Suicide House. The tour starts on the left.”
How the HELL do people do stupid things like this!
1. Insert hand
2. Turn on faucet
3. Meet your maker.
Eh, I’m tired of living, anyway.
how would you like a cup of DEATH?
Don’t do it Jimmy!
“Hey, where’s Harry?”
“I’m over here…”
“Oh. He IS a contractor; they don’t do much.”
agh it took me about 5 minutes to realise why that failed – and it was only coz I read the description that I found out
me-fail
It’s just great. Your classic pain inducer should you be stupid enough to try it. Still almost as bad as just plain sticking a fork in there.
Sorry but you can’t permit that.
