  2. jam says:

  3. chez says:

    Buying safety… is that like buying ‘protection’?

  4. The Moomin says:

    Are all todays fails going to be adverts for other sites?

  5. ima TROLL'OCOPTER says:

    *GLORY TROLLS FTW!!!*

  6. jake says:

  8. gwanny says:

  9. esaaa says:

  10. gwanny says:

  11. bo3rn says:

    it’s not finished, so there is no need for safty so far ;)

  12. Andrew Ong says:

    TOTAL FAIL AND STUPIDITY!!! The worker(s) certainly broke one important rule when using step ladders: NEVER USE A STEP LADDER TO SUPPORT A PLANK!!!

  13. Blargh! says:

    Are you guys idiots? This is completely normal for painters.

  14. jim says:

    no ladder shadow fail

  15. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork/makes rare sightings like bigfoot says:

    Its irony in the making.

  16. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork/makes rare sightings like bigfoot says:

    It is built on an unstable foundation.

  17. jameshogg says:

    Same style of text with ‘SAFETY SHOP’ and ‘FAIL’.

    The submitter could have just photoshopped ‘FAIL’ over ‘SHOP’ and it would have been a much more accurate description.

  18. BjornR says:

    The irony…

  19. 12333 says:

    safety third

  20. dan says:

    what’s up New Zealand!!!

  21. jake says:

    This is not a fail >.> amd i can say why my father works in the sigh busness and what he is doing is the way you should paint something nthat is high up like that sign know if he fell then hell yes its a fail xD

  22. Pooley says:

    How is this supposed to be a failure in any way?

  23. hemmy says:

    why didn’t he just use the ladder?!

    • Pooley says:

      They aren’t ladders, they are called trestles, and that is exactly what they were designed for. Using a plank between two of them means you can paint the sign in one go instead of trying to stretch out from the top of a ladder, then move it like 15 times just to get the job done.

  24. randomguy says:

    Why is why (New Zealand) being suddenly picked on for failblog, this is the second item this week and there has never been stuff from NZ on failblog – I don’t get it

  25. notolaf says:

    How the heck did he get out there? I could never do that!

  26. Taboo says:

    Did anyone else get the safety dance song come on in their heads? I don’t even know how i know this song, i’m a 20yo!

  27. abcd says:

    he used 2 ladders to support himself instead of one, this should be a win

  28. ZeikHunter says:

    That painter broke the fourth wall. He’s copying the FAIL text!

  29. Renato says:

    kkkk muito bom é a falta de atenção é descomunal!!

  30. Brad says:

    Yay good to see that us new zealanders can fail too

  31. DAN says:

    aha! seems they actually did the math there GJ! :)
