disposable film cameras
I bought one of those Wolf Dakota disposable film cameras and When I got the pictures, I only received two out of about 30. One, was extremely dark and had a lot of grain. The other one was blurry. The other ones didn't come out. Why did this happen?
I was careful about having enough light. I placed the camera down so no camera shake. I wasn't too close to the subjects. I placed the camera somewhere safe when I wasn't using it.
So why didn't most of my pictures come out or even look good? Did I do something wrong or did the person that developed them do something wrong?

There's a few explanations. I'm assuming you got negatives back with your prints, check those and see if the store forgot to print the other photos. If the negatives are blank, that means your pictures were either under or over exposed.
You say that you had enough light, and nothing was blocking the lens correct? Some disposable and cheaper film cameras won't produce results even with what seems like adequate light, some only truly work outdoors with natural, bright light.
If you're sure that you did everything correct on your part, it could definitely be that the person developing the pictures screwed up by exposing the film. Sadly, it's not unheard of [it's happened to me many times which is why I now develop my own film] because film photography is a dying breed and people are not trained properly to handle it. It's an honest mistake on the part of the developer, but I suggest taking the negatives to where you got them developed and ask for a refund or a discount on your next film development. It sucks but once the film is messed up, there's nothing you can do.
