As is a theme that I hope continues, here are some more Lean Oops! scenarios courtesy of contributors to Reddit.

Seems like a simple fix, right?

You’d think that debt collecting agencies would make it as easy as possible for debtors to communicate and figure out plans to pay up, right?

Yyyyyyyno. Wouldn’t this test page indicate you printed it correctly and thusly poka-yoked the printing process? Poka-yoke fail.

It’s one major accomplishment to take a little car over a parking bumper, but to roll over the back side of the bumper? FYI, I refuse to comment on where this occurred.

I feel like I’ve seen this occur before. Happens once? Oops on the family. Happens multiple times? Oops on the machine manufacturer.
