    Public Dancing Fail

    Nothing gets my voyeur shame on like a semi circle around a guy wearing suspenders on New Year's Eve, especially when another dude is lifting said suspender wearer over his head.

    Ball Drop Fail

    If you can't have the control of dropping the New Year's Eve ball in a timely manner than the New Year is already in shambles.  Maybe the star studded event featuring Hanson makes it not so terrible.

    Puzzling Poppers

    Imagine being excited little Bella ringing in her first New Year at midnight.  And, she's given a faulty party popper to celebrate.  Expect a solid 90 seconds of instruction reading to start your New Year, sweetie pie.

    Don't Wake Me Up To Celebrate

    Why is this a surprise?  This is to be expected.

    Super Visible Fall Fail

    We all have that embarrassing friend that gets a few drinks in them and end up on a table with the whole room of onlookers rooting them on.  It becomes more glamorous when it happens on New Year's Eve.

    What Do You Expect of London Fireworks, Gov?

    Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate with your New Year's Eve event and results in equal disappointment for everybody.  Everybody all together now- "Meh".

    Electronics Fail

    The countdown is the most exciting part of New Year's Eve.  But maybe our reliance on little boxes of wires could hamper the thrill.

    Quick! Pop the Cork!

    This is all of us- witchcraft, I say!

    Don't Get It In the Eyes, Or There, Or There

    Parents should not be a part of the celebration, too many rules.

    People Fail Electronics

    Timing was right on, oddly enough.

    Dancing's Hard Sometimes

    Can we all agree that dancing on a table after a few drinks is setting yourself up for embarrassment?  No matter how cute you try to recover.

    Balloon Popping With Drink In Hand

    A lot of thinking involved with popping a balloon but even more thinking after.  Don't worry- she probably won't remember any of this.
