  1. 3dham says:

    When I was at Earthlink

    • 3dham says:

      a lady called because she was having trouble getting her email and she said “you’ll have to excuse my heavy breathing… I’m having contractions … It’s not my fault!

      • doh :C says:

        It is your fault actually

      • Well says:

        Mothers are encouraged to labor at home until their contractions are close enough together. Going to the hospital too soon can result in prolonged labor and the need for other intervention, including an eventual c-section. I stayed at home, cleaning, tidying up loose ends and generally waiting until I knew it was time to make the trip.

        • that guy says:

          Classic example of why people should have licenses to have children.

        • Jeli says:

          That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I’m not trying to discredit you or anything, but wouldn’t things play out the same regardless of the setting? How can being at the hospital vs. being at home make your labor longer? And if you do need intervention, wouldn’t you rather be at the hospital than at home so you can receive the help you need? I’m just pointing a giant hole in your logic.

          • what says:

            There is no hole in her logic regarding laboring at home vs. at the hospital. Labor progresses more quickly and smoothly when a woman is relaxed and comfortable. It will take longer if she is stressed out because she will stop dilating or dilate more slowly. Being in a hospital room in an uncomfortable bed with doctors and nurses coming in and poking and prodding every few minutes can make the laboring process more stressful which makes it take longer. If you go to the hospital once you’re dilated a few centimeters you can still get medical care if you require a c-section. Sooo….don’t try to point out “holes” in logic on subjects you’re ignorant about, Jeli.

            • John says:

              Yeah, she’s right, actually. The general rule of tum (pun intented) is that you don’t even call the doctor until the contractions are about seven or so minutes apart.

            • Jeli says:

              What “Well” failed to mention in her oh-so-well thought out response was everything you mentioned.

              • This is what I do not get, why the hell do people start these pointless arguments in the comments? Aren’t the comments suppost to be about the picture, not finding the tiniest flaws in some ones writting and exposing it for all to see. By the way, why the HELL do I need to know about how it goes anyways? There are people who get so caught up in things like this, just pointing a giant hole in this argument’s logic….

              • Jason says:

                So your point, if I understand it correctly, is that you were justified in treating her like an moron just because she didn’t include enough elementary information for you to be able comprehend what she was saying? Doesn’t make you look too good…

                • Prick says:

                  The rule of people who have manners is: make a point or shut up.
                  Well did not make a point, she just stated something that as far as we know she could had dreamed up last night after getting high on turpentine or after smoking her carpet.
                  She should had given a better explanation so as to convince us (should I mention anybody who believes everything they read on the Internet will inevitably suffer a painful and premature death?)

                  Bottom line: she could had not posted her comment and it would had all been the same. Thanks to What for making her comment less useless.

          • Sandi says:

            Sure it does… I have been a labor nurse. When you are at home and up moving around you encourage the labor. Come to the hospital, we are giong to put you in bed, hook up all kinds of monitors to watch your labor (and cover our butts legally) and more or less make you inactive.
            Many labors do stop or slow down due to this. They hope that breaking your water, it will speed it up but, if you don’t progress after you have your water broken you have no choice but a C-section.

    • Junkyard says:

      When I was at Earthlink we never split comments into two just to ensure we got first post.

  2. Alex says:

    That mother is a win.

  3. loladahl10 says:

    I can totally believe that.

  4. Jeff says:

    Wow someone call child services right now…

  5. Kari says:

    OMG… that’s sick!

  6. 3dham says:

    I beat you by 3 minutes! :P

  7. BlueDragonMan says:

    Wow. This isn’t even that funny. Just scary. Is this a sign of things to come?

    • PassingBy says:

      Totally agreeing here.

    • DirtyMc19 says:

      What’s even scarier is that I know this chick and she’s a retard. Not like a dumb-ass, we’re talking “Special-Ed” retarded. It’s a freakin’ crime that she reproduced.

      • Spanky says:

        And you and I get to pay for it- forever and ever….

      • Saddened says:

        DirtyMc19: Wow–Your insensitivity to women and the disabled are stunning. With technology taking over at such a powerful moment as in the birthing room and bigoted twits like you, I surely hope there’s a revolution of simplicity and kindness around the corner or else we are doomed.

      • shonuff says:

        she looks like a retard, so glad my assumption was confirmed.
        why would a “mentally challenged person” reproduce. they can’t take care of it and the chances it will turn out the same are high.

        • Nicole says:

          Please watch what you guys are saying about “mentally challenged” people! My 5 year old is Autistic, he physically functions normally, just has severe delays and don’t pick up on things as fast as “normal” people. I am not “challenged” and neither is his father, or his other 2 brothers! You can tell that something is amiss when you are around him…and Austism is not genetic…and who’s to say he couldn’t care for his child? I just don’t feel anyone should say “mentally challenged” people shouldn’t have kids, when actually, they tend to be better parents than a “normal” person.

          • NaziKitten says:

            I love how you tried to be all educational about the subject. You even used proper grammar and punctuation to prove your superior intelligence over that of your retardspawn. But – since when is “…and don’t pick up on things…” proper grammar? Oh, it isn’t. That’s right, I forgot. “…and doesn’t* pick up on things…”

            Fixed.

            Also – another problem with your post? “[Mentally challenged people] tend to be better parents than a ‘normal’ person.” <– This statement is not true. Maybe in YOUR child's case, but not mentally challenged people as a whole. Your use of the word "they" implies that the entire group of people classified as "mentally challenged" tend to be better parents. However, MOST mentally challenged people, especially those with severe retardation, cannot function on their own – let alone raise a child "better" than a non-challenged person.

      • McDizzle says:

        Tee hee. T, you’re so mean.

  8. wanck says:

    LEAVE THE BLUE DRAGON ALONE, DROP IT`S DrAGON D!CK NAOW!!!!

  9. wanck`s brother says:

    WTF!! HARASSING ANIMALS AGAIN HUH?? ILL SOCK UR TEETH IN

    • Gladiator763 says:

      You used ` when you should have used ‘.

      There should be a comma between “again” and “huh”.

      It’s “I’LL”, not “ILL”.

      “YOUR”, not “UR”.

      Where’s the ending punctuation?

  10. wanck's brother's brother says:

    Well, if she was updating her status to say she had the baby, it doesn’t seen so bad to me.

    • JimmyMcJimbo says:

      Yeah I’ll bet it doesn’t “seen” so bad to you. Go back to facebook fool.

    • Whatever says:

      Yeah, it seems pretty obvious to me that she’s sending a pic of the baby, probably to her parents, etc. I’d guess that’s pretty normal these days. Still, it made me smile a little in the world of “ZOMG!Must!Tweet!”

      P.S. Wow, some people are astonishingly hostile about tiny typos…

      • JimmyMcJimbo says:

        Yeah, Cos sending pics to family & friends is so much more important than the baby.

        • Whatever says:

          Sheez, you have really got a bug up your butt about that. The baby is also important to OTHER PEOPLE who are NOT ALLOWED IN THE DELIVERY ROOM.

          • Sahara says:

            Yeah but those people can wait 3 – 5 minutes while the mother takes her newborn baby. The first moments after the birth are crucial. The nurses take the baby away and clean him up really quick, then place the baby on the mother’s chest for those first essential moments of bonding. In this case, Mom is too busy updating her status or Tweeting to take her child. The people outside of the delivery room can wait a few minutes. That’s why this is a fail.

            • Whatever says:

              Yeah, I GET that, as far as the JOKE goes, and I actually laughed at the JOKE, what I don’t understand is how everyone is coming down on this woman like she’s committed a crime, when all she has done is SEND A PHOTO OF HER CHILD. It is completely obvious that this is not immediately after delivery, and she has ALREADY HELD HER BABY.

              • Lynn says:

                Dahling, are you the mother? You seem to know a lot about the situation in the picture.

                I don’t mind you taking her side, but you’re stating assumptions as facts. For all we know, she is an irresponsible mother, and for all we know, she’s a fine mother who’s enthusiastic about showing off her new baby to her friends. Can’t you see this madness is tearing us apart?

                • Whatever says:

                  I’M making assumptions? What about all these other people? Why get on me and not them?

                  • Starling says:

                    I’m completely with you, Whatever. There is no way in hell she would not have held that behbeh first. Probably when it was still all gooey and stuff! Looks like they cleaned up baby and she’s taken a picture to send it to her family. Nurse looks like she’s smiling for the camera.

                    Thinking the worst of people, let me show you eet.

  11. kassano says:

    TRIPLE fail for wanck and fake wanck’s brother

  12. Jessica says:

    Actually, my first thought was that she was getting the camera up on her phone to send pictures. The nurse was holding up the baby for a pose, not an introduction.

    • JackisGreen says:

      That would make sense if there wasn’t already a camera in the room…

      • slupine says:

        Yeah but it’s also possible she was taking one to send via her phone to the family that couldn’t be there.

        I, however, rather assumed she was just on speakerphone with a relative telling them her baby was born…

        • Kari says:

          Even if she’s talking to a relative.. why not wait? Take a moment to hold your baby and bond with him/her.

          • Heidi says:

            How do you know she didn’t?
            You’re assuming the baby is seconds old and the mother is seeing her for the first time. There’s no reason to assume that.

            • Kari says:

              Well, in my past birthing experiences, if I still had my feet in the stirrups, it’s because I still had: (a) placenta to deliver (b) stitches to get done or (c) uncontrollable bleeding. As soon as those things are taken care of, they cover you up and let you put your legs down :)
              Then… seriously… other ppl obviously have cameras in the room. Let them take a pic of you holding the baby, or something. Seriously… all I wanted to do was hold my baby after 9 months of waiting!

      • sauer kraut says:

        but that one is busy with the med students taking out the afterbirth.

    • JayPea says:

      Yeah, finally someone with some sense!! I work at a hospital and from the looks of it that is exactly what was happening. She was going to send pix to everyone on her phone. Every new parent does this so the world can see their beautiful baby. Even I did it mumblty mumblty years ago when I had my kids, only I used an KODAK TALKING INSTANT CAMERA!! God, I loved that talking instant camera! There is nothing wrong with taking pix of the baby and if technology has advanced to phone cameras, why would that be any different than taking pix the old fashioned way?

  13. ZombieApocalypse says:

    It’s like a sea of trolls this afternoon.

    *takes a swim*
    *has a light snack*

  14. OMG!!!!!111one11!!11! says:

    HAY GUYZ I JUS HAV BABBY NOEW *click*

  15. Mega says:

    Someone had an epidural!

  16. Sgt Soapbox says:

    Yeah… she couldn’t *possibly* be taking a picture, since the nurse is certainly handing her the baby vertically…

  17. saywhat says:

    bad bad bad

  18. saywhat says:

    not good

  19. It’s photos like these that really make me weep for the future of civilisation.

    • ZombieApocalypse says:

      It’s photos like these that really make me question whether or not civilization even had a future.

      Is that a British spelling or something? My friend
      Spell Czech claims it's wrong and made me correct it.
      At gunpoint. Yeah, like a gun to the temple really scares
      zombies. I just didn't want to hurt his feelings.
      • AferVentus says:

        It’s civilizations like these that really make me question whether or not photography even has a future. ;-)

        British dictionaries tend to favour "civilization" but accept "civilisation".
        "civilisation" is sometimes considered a spelling used to avoid the
        problem of which words have Greek-derived "ize" (e. g., organize) and
        which French-derived "ise" (e. g., surprise, franchise, advertise).
        BTW, why are we whispering?
  20. Nequissimus says:

    the hands look kinda creepy :O

  21. marathoner says:

    Not a fail at all – she’s about to use the phone to send a photo right away. Quite cute, actually.

  22. First von Metternich says:

    If natural selection really did its job well, this site wouldn’t even exist.

    • JimmyMcJimbo says:

      Exactly, in a world where the smart benefit the stupid, natural selection does not favour the smart.

      • Havoc says:

        Especially since fitness is totally dependent on how fast you reproduce and your ability to produce children that can then reproduce, in a world where the intelligent use birth control, Natural Selection will favor the stupid who reproduce when they’re 14.

  23. PJ says:

    OMG! u ppl work fast i was gone for 1 minute and 39 comments already o.o

  24. Nonexistent says:

    She’s probably just taking a picture of the baby to send to family and friends. That explains the pose the baby is in.

  25. hobhob says:

    also, i think FAIL for just being that ugly in general.

  26. cheesewhiz says:

    LOL! At first I was thinking that was horrible, but looking at it further, I really think the nurse was holding up the baby like that so she could take a picture on her phone and send it. That baby was not JUST born…they let you hold it naked before you wrap it up, so pretty sure the baby was being “posed”…still REALLY funny taken out of context. ;)

  27. Fuze says:

    The real fail here is the guy who hit that

  28. john says:

    I have a bad feeling that this baby is going to have a stupid, phonetically spelled name.

  29. sauer kraut says:

    And then there are the people who know not the difference between “it’s” and “its.”

    Not a Hahvahd boy, is you?

    • shortfriction says:

      And the difference between latter and later.

      • Brad says:

        DAMN IT!!! I look like a FOOL on the internet now. Trust me, I am certainly mediocre at everything I do.

      • Gladiator763 says:

        I thought “latter” was used only when there are exactly two things being referenced (e.g., “in the former case . . . and in the latter one”), and that “first”, “second”, (other ordinal numbers), “last” were used for three or more, which would mean “not part of the last” should have been used instead of “not part of the lat[t]er”. Am I wrong?

  30. Leandro Tami says:

    Idiocracy

  31. Hjärta says:

    haha that’s why being a mom is considered sacred.. “hey honey, I’ll be free again to f**k soon

  32. Czernobog says:

    I might just be an elderly curmudgeon, but as far as I’m concerned any twitter basically amounts to fail.

  33. Protrude says:

    Typical 21 century

  34. Joe s says:

    What a douche.

  35. Kari says:

    And yeah, I’d say the baby was damn near just born.. the doctor still has their hand in the mother’s crotch.

  36. A Nan y Mousse says:

    The real fail here is using a Verizon VX6800 to do anything on the internet. Or anything at all, actually.

    Uh… also, put your @&@$# phone away, your failchild has arrived.

  37. np says:

    This made me laugh really hard. Then it made me mad. Then I realized what was actually going on in the photo and now I’m just ‘meh’.

  38. LS says:

    Stealing from Reddit and reposting here….FAIL!

  39. Comrade Question says:

    after 10 kids another one is just another visit to the doctor

  40. Gene says:

    We now need “Twitter Rehab”… good grief man

  41. Suzanne says:

    I *think* she was probably taking a photo of the baby and possibly emailing it or texting it to people.

    • JimmyMcJimbo says:

      No sh1t. We all know sending photo’s to friends is more important than the baby.

      • Whatever says:

        Did it ever occur to you that the baby is also important to people who don’t happen to be IN the delivery room? Maybe our electronically networked society is a little silly, but it’s a pretty judgmental leap from there to “ZOMG! She must not love her baby! How dare she take twenty seconds out of idyllic maternal servitude time to send a picture of the kid to his grandma!”

  42. TKSobel says:

    The sad thing is, the part of this photo that scares me the most is I swear to jeebus I know that damned nurse from somewhere…

  43. hillbilly says:

    Nevermind the baby, I got an email from sexy_boy23

  44. Jbizzle says:

    I think i have lost my faith in humanity, the only thing worse was the guy who, i hate to say this word, “tweeted” his whole wedding.

    • JimmyMcJimbo says:

      hahaha.
      “We are saying our vow’s”.
      “I’m kissing my bride.”
      “Oh no, i cant see my phone cos she is in the way.”
      “Shove off b1tch, cant you see im twating here.”

  45. Arthur Eld says:

    “D00d 1 just got ma b4by. Sw33t! LMAO!

  46. Stuuuupid says:

    god that is so depressing

  47. *-* says:

    “D00d I just had a baby! How awesome is that?”
    “Why are you txting me then?”
    “To tell you!”
    “Shouldn’t you be bonding with him/her?”
    “That can wait, I’m updating my facebook status!”

  48. J4SH3R says:

    omg….i made birth… i have to post this on face book…..

  49. JohnnyBravo says:

    My god we’re doomed.

  50. no no she is wathing live david laterman show :D

  51. Srsly says:

    She looks really young. I’m not surprised. “omg, had baby, get hw 4 me pleeeeeze…..”

  52. Martyvz says:

    I’m just shocked that someone actually had sex with that snaggle-toothed behemoth!

  53. Incorrect says:

    I say that Twitter won this one. This more like a parenting fail.

  54. gia pet says:

    Feeling sentimental. Maybe her husband is a deployed soldier or something and she is sending a picture to him. Sigh.

  55. REALLY? says:

    IS THIS REALLY WHAT WE HAVE LOWERED OURSELVES TO?????

  56. Wetpixels says:

    OMG, What should I name my kid. They’re handing it to me now. brb

  57. what says:

    No phones allowed in the hospital!

    I figure she’s getting onto a dating site to find a father for it. “F4M 17 years old and just lost a lot of weight…”

  58. Bloop says:

    Wow, that mother who was updating her status and wanted the nurse to wait for her baby… Awful epic fail!!

  59. Provaiders says:

    “Hold on, I’m updating my status” :D DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  60. mel says:

    I think there’s still time to abort that…

  61. whatever says:

    most likely she was preparing her phone to take a photo. knee jerkers.

  62. (jah) wobbly says:

    Even if she were, that doesn’t excuse her wanting to grab her phone and mess about with that, rather than grab her just born child and hug/bond with it.

  63. Sarah says:

    She’s taking a PICTURE with her PHONE, you MORONS.

    (She is setting the phone to CAMERA)

    Failblog Fail :P

  64. Adam Guenther says:

    Cellphones are WAY to popular

  65. junevee says:

    what a douche. this pic makes me wanna barf out poo!

  66. spmblueeyez says:

    okay, I have 4 kids and not once have I made my newborn baby wait so I could mess with my phone….I don’t care if she’s taking a picture, updating her status, or playing a game, she has plenty of time for all that crap later. I did text everyone to tell them I had my baby, AFTER I was in my “permanent” room. I took pictures of the baby, while she was in my arms, and texted them when the nurses took her for her first bath….I don’t care, I don’t see any excuse for her having her phone in her hand in the delivery room at all. To the person who said that nurse looks familiar, that’s EXACTLY what I thought when I first looked at the pic. BTW, thank you all, I laughed so hard reading all these comments, win there.

    • judgenot says:

      You have four kids? Overpopulation/contraception fail.

      • Sher says:

        omg…I can’t believe you went there! judgenot…yeah right! you FAILed your own name dumba$$

        The Bible clearly states …”be fruitful and multiply”… If you have the love, room, and money, then it’s no one’s business how many kids anyone has. Yes, I come from a large family…my Father is one of 10, my Grandfather was one of 24 (that’s a bit much though, lol) and nobody did without or was on welfare.

  67. TechBender says:

    *flicks through contact list* Not the father, not the father, sorta looks like him, no, no, no, AH-HA!

  68. ambermonk says:

    I already feel bad for the infant.

  69. eddy_h says:

    Isn’t this one hell of a fail-tempting reach to assume that someone’s tweeting / taking a picture / doing pretty much anything based on a shot of them holding and looking at a phone?

    Could well be that they’ve just got a text or the phone’s started to ring and she’s picked it up merely to see who it is. Maybe her own mother asking what the news is so far. But this is also conjecture. Maybe the nurse has said “turn it off” and that’s what she’s doing. Etc, etc, etc.

    I mean, why twitter in particular?

    The fail may be whoever’s bothered to take a picture of this strange but ultimately dull scene.

    • Jaslynn says:

      It’s just a joke; they don’t mean that she’s really on twitter.She could be doing anything…just laugh if you think it’s funny…if you don’t…idk what to tell u. This wasn’t meant to be serious at ALL. They just used the picture to make a joke of it…NO SHOTS :)

  70. Nolan says:

    “Here’s your baby, its a boy!”
    “Hold on a sec “JUST GAVE BIRTH SO HARD >.<"

  71. Steev says:

    She did the same thing during conception! :^(

  72. Anon says:

    She looks exactly like my cousin who had a baby last year. If that is her, the baby’s middle name is “Gator”. I’m not kidding.

  73. yeehaw says:

    i know her. she works at mcdonalds and is very slow.

  74. Barret says:

    Stupid jokes for stupid americans.. FAIL failblog

  75. sandy va-jean says:

    Something tells me she only had a kid because her bff just had one..

  76. sAYwatt says:

    The baby must be like….”damn…. thats my momma?”

  77. Foghat says:

    rarely has one photo so summed up the times in which we live

  78. stagesiren says:

    WTF?!! HOW CAN THIS PICTURE BE REAL…IS IT?!? :O

  79. L337MA573R says:

    Now who would get her pregnant?

  80. shonuff says:

    Yay!! another gross monkey girl had a baby. hooray for ignorance of birth control.

  81. Jet Jaguar says:

    Hey Facebookers: Here comes the afterbirth!

  82. work realated says:

    haha i totally know her, and yeah she had just taken a picture with her phone and was uploading it to facebook. talk about bad picture timing.

  83. McDizzle says:

    Oh darling. I saw you in the back, at work earlier, screwing away on your phone. Then I was told about this! score!

  84. Casey says:

    Lemme Twitter dat.

  85. ashiiya says:

    Even if she is updating something like “I just had my baby yay~” still, fb and twitter doesn’t control your life (or at least, it shouldn’t and if it does, you have issues) and when you have a kid, your first priority is to take care of it and get close to it as much as possible, not sitting there with your phone. If she wants to upload something, she should do it later when she gets home while the kid’s sleeping or something.

  86. Oskarmandude says:

    You people are idiots. Such negativity…I need a shower! No wonder society sucks nowadays…everyone is too quick to believe the worse in everyone.

    We’re here to laugh and have a good time; not bash innocent typos and FAILs in punctuation and grammar. Major or funny errors are up for grabs though! lol

    My opinion: The FAIL here is her horrid hot-pink nail polish that’s like 2 weeks past needing a touch-up.

    Lady: “Hold on, lemme update my twitter…”

  93. It wasn’t entirely her fault, but she must take some of the blame!

  94. WinterView77 says:

    She doesn’t care about the baby.

  99. little mommy says:

    how about she might be calling family or texting pics of the baby the good news that she just had a beautiful child and wants the world to know cause she is so excited….. yeah all yall are just out to judge people for what their doing i’m sure there could be posted loads of junk on you guys for stuff you’ve done, caught on picture that makes seem different than it was.

    I agree “Actually, my first thought was that she was getting the camera up on her phone to send pictures. The nurse was holding up the baby for a pose, not an introduction.”

    Twitter+Baby=Twitter

  102. Nikki Finn says:

    Next, she will be the chick that twitters her baby is drowning in the neighbor’s pool. And being “mentally challenged” is not what is the issue here, guys. What is, is that ANYONE who cannot properly take care of themselves should NOT be reproducing. PERIOD. People need to put their kids first. That picture could be taken at a later time, or text, or whatever the hell she’s doing.
