Tag Archives: disappointed expectations photos

From deliveries that showed up looking like a joke to projects that went totally wrong, this collection covers the whole range of hope meeting reality.

Online shopping, cooking attempts, big plans, reality has a long and documented history of missing the mark entirely. These 24 side-by-sides capture that gap with almost poetic accuracy.

Expectations exist for a reason, and reality exists to ignore them completely. These 18 photos are the clearest possible evidence that the two rarely end up in the same place.
