There’s a special, usually quirky and fun kind of frustration reserved for the phrase «You had one job.» It’s the universal cry of disbelief when someone bungles the simplest task imaginable. We’ve all seen it: a birthday cake that says «Happy 21st Bithday,» a crosswalk painted diagonally, or a fire extinguisher mounted directly above an open flame. These failures are funny because they’re harmless—quirky little reminders that human error is alive and well.  

But not all «You had one job» moments are created equal. Some carry consequences far more serious than a misspelled sign or a backward vending machine. Imagine being tasked with closing a door—a mundane, brainless activity that even toddlers can master—and failing so spectacularly that the stakes escalate from mild inconvenience to near catastrophe.
