    25 Hilariously Disappointing Instances Where Reality Did Not Quite Meet Expectations

    Welcome, internet lurkers. If you clicked on this listicle, you are likely a fan of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is a German word that refers to the pleasure one feels when witnessing someone else's misfortune. Indeed, it is the little burst of joy you get when you watch what was meant to be a romantic proposal gone horribly wrong, a small child run full-speed into a wall, or an evil corporate company file for bankruptcy. 

    Being a victim of a scam by sketchy internet businesses that falsely advertise their products can certainly feel disappointing. No one wants to waste their time and money, but at least if it happens to you, you can post pictures online and garner thousands of internet points from strangers that delight in your misfortune. If you are one such stranger, scroll down for 25 instances where reality did not quite meet expectations in the most hilarious of ways.
