Usually, it's difficult to do things on your own. Whether it's a passion project or trying to fix something in the house without having to call an expert, it usually requires a significant amount of time and patience to get things done correctly. However, if you're ever in a position where you feel like you might make a horrible mistake, it's usually best to back off and just let an expert handle it.

Reddit's /r/DiWHY contains hundreds of images of people who didn't call an expert. Rather than seeking a professional to do what they were imagining, they decided to take matters into their own hands, and it sometimes ends in a disaster. If there's a lesson that can be learned from all 19 of the horrendous passion projects we've gathered, it's that maybe some things should be left to the experts.
