The universe hates us equally. (I hope.) Even the people who see the glass half-full have bad days. But sometimes it's easy to forget that. Our own problems seem the biggest. So what do you say we give ourselves a healthy reminder?
Those who have been around our website for long enough might remember that Bored Panda has a soft spot for life's unlucky moments. But not to kick someone while they're down, of course. Rather, to gain perspective and reassure ourselves that nobody has conspired against us and it's completely normal to lose it every once in a while.

Load More Replies...As you can see (and know), mistakes happen and things don't work out as they should. But former clinical psychologist and researcher turned writer Alice Boyes, Ph.D., thinks we can learn to roll with the punches.
"Don't expect life to go smoothly," Boyes wrote in Psychology Today. "If we reserve a hotel room, we expect it will be available when we arrive. We expect clean water to come out of the tap. We expect that if we buy a product and it's faulty or not as described, we'll be able to return it. We expect the product we order will be the product that arrives and not some other random item."
"But the more you think of discomfort (of all kinds) as something to be expected periodically, the easier it can be to handle when it arises," she explained. "It's helpful to think of these experiences as universal rather than personalizing them."

My friend lost her wedding ring on a months long hike along the PCT. she knew the place she lost it, eventually went back before it snowed, looked high and low, just before dusk she kicked the ground in frustration and found the ring in the dirt just where she kicked
Something I would totally do. I lose my ring a lot and find it in weird places.
Just Bought Our Dream Home Less Than 2 Months Ago. Tonight I Watched It Burn To The Ground In A Massive Wildfire
That's terrible, but at least everyone is safe. Houses can be replaced...you cannot. ❤
It is a truly terrible feeling to watch your home and everything in it, burn. My heart goes out to these folks.
"We often criticize ourselves that we should be able to handle blips, frustrations, disappointments, sadness, etc., better. You might think, 'Other people wouldn't be rocked by this. Other people would take this in stride.' Self-compassion skills should help a great deal if you're doing this type of criticism," Boyes said.
Also, try to understand what pushes your buttons. It can be really helpful to identify that not every piece of bad news or every inconvenience rattles you greatly, but just specific types.
Got Off The Train At The Wrong Station. Now I'm In The Middle Of Nowhere Without Food, It's Raining, It's Cold, I'm Hungry And Next Train Is In 7 Hours
Many many years ago, when I was studying in England, I went to Nottingham to visit a friend of mine for the weekend. When it was time to return to Coventry, I went to the bus station and they announced the departure for "Covent Green" in London. It was late, I was tired and I misheard. Guess who won a free trip to London! (which was twice the distance from Coventry :/)
There’s no such place as Covent Green either, they must have said Covent Garden!
Load More Replies...Literally my worst fear, being abandoned in 'the middle of nowhere'!
Happened to me once. I ended up walking to nearest village (it was only 4 kilometers, luckily) and took the bus. Got home 12 hours later, swearing like a sailor.
Don't worry, everyone! The OP of this picture posted an update photo; GF picked them up in her car, and had some snacks and hot tea packed as well.

Her look says “defeated” and also “I’m going to destroy this thing with a hammer”
When I first saw this picture on Bored Panda, I commented that she looks like a defeated or deflated Smurf
Load More Replies...However, don't attempt to predict further bad news. "When unexpected issues come up, don't automatically [assume] they'll be difficult to address," Boyes said. "Don't expect a string of bad luck, e.g., 'bad luck comes in threes.'"
And as cliché as it sounds, problems can be opportunities. So when you end up in one, ask what you can learn from it. "Consider your strengths. Cars might be foreign to me, but in general, getting things done and not getting ripped off are strengths for me," Boyes said. "You can also consider your weaknesses. I'm not great at asking for help because I'm socially anxious. This was an opportunity to overcome that and ask my neighbor for help (although, to be honest, it was my spouse who asked)."
Yes, bad news sucks. But we still have to cope with it.
First Time Trying To Grow Carrots From Seeds. 6 Months Later

4 Days After Moving To Chicago
The Chicago welcoming committee in ANY neighborhood ain't messing around.
Load More Replies...I remember back in the old days, a gentleman criminal had the decency to put his marks car up on 4 cinder blocks after committing his villainous act of unshoeing it without the owners acquiescence. These days car thieves are just plain rude and miserly. They'll steal the cinderblocks back.
We had that happen on our backlot with an Accord that was just delivered. Got all 4 tires/rims (worth about $2500) while security was cruising the other side, destroyed the unibody buy balancing on cinderblock.

Student Handed This In Today
I had to write a letter stating that my oldest son's project will not be in on due date because the day before his little brother assumed that it is an unfinished art project which he can finish on his brother's behalf....
When I went to secondary school my pet rat decided that my maths homework (a graph sheet) lacked style. He chewed around the entire border - looked a bit like lace - but luckily it was outside the work area. When I handed it in, my teacher looked at it funnily and I could honestly say " my rat ate my homework".
"The one time we tried"? What about all the other times, did they not try before?
Maybe the dog lacked appetite for paper before?
Load More Replies...My mother had to do the same once. Also have a chat with the teacher after another incident where the cat peed on the bag and the teacher wanted the pee soaked paper as proof.
I did exactly this in 7th grade. I put the chewed up homework in a bag and took it to school. The teacher still didn't believe me and I failed the assignment
I had to do 5 pages worth of math Homework. Took me around 3,5 hours. My mum thought it was a good idea to refresh me, Unfortunatly she tripped and spilt a glass applejuice all over my pad. 😭😭😭😭 She wrote to my teacher about it. Everything was fine.
Walked To Work In A Thunderstorm, But My Boss Forgot To Tell Me We All Have Today Off
Happened to me. I lived far from the office and had to take a bus and two trains to get there. Weather was OK where I lived when I left but half way thru my travels, blizzard started. By the time I got to the my destination it was a white out with unplowed streets and sidewalks. Walked to the office from the train. Not easy and quite a walk even under perfect conditions let alone climbing through snow drifts. Got there and only one person was in. They looked at me and said "What are you doing here? We closed the office." Apparently, after being notified, our receptionist called everybody from her home who lived close by (as she did) first and me last. By the time she called me (pre cell phone days) I was well on my way to work. Got the voice mail when I finally got back home after many hours of trying.
That's happened to me. It was a really bad storm (for here). I struggled getting to work but when I turned up the doors were all locked etc. Turns out my manager messaged the team on Facebook telling them not to come in. I don't have Facebook.
Strange that your boss would assume you all check FB early every weekday.

How Does This Happen?
Is anyone like good at maths or science, cause how fast you have to go to end up like that?
Not super fast. On the left side, see the guy wires which support the pole at an angle from the ground up to the top? If you crash your vehicle into those wires, and as your car falls to one side, the wheel puts excessive tension on those cables, which in this case caused the pole to break.

Doordashed Food And In The 5 Minutes It Took Me To Get To The Door, The Neighbor's Cat Ate Through The Box And Stole Some Chicken
Also I'm hungry and that looks f*****g delicious. Gotta go make some breakfast.
Load More Replies...Why would it take 5 minutes to get to the door? You know you've ordered food.
5 minutes is a long time when it comes to pets. I once had a rollade (huge cylindrical meat thing wrapped in some netting, it's a luxury thing that we usually have for christmas and easter) cooking in a big pan on the stove. Gas stove, actual flames and such and it was a stand alone in an alcove, no counters or anything next to it. It took less than minute for me to pee and wash my hands in the bathroom 4 paces away. My cat who never begged for, or stole anything before in his 8 years of life got up there in less than a minute, stole the 2,5 pound boiling hot rollade out of the pan and off the literally burning stove and ran off with it before I could even see him leave the kitchen. He didn't have a single scourched hair on him. Was not surprised that he didn't eat for a day afterwards

She must have been going at a high speed rate or hit something really hard. I had few BMW in the past and it's well-known for its safety; from the look of the damage, this was more than a "sneeze snafu". I'm just glad she's okay.

I Got Stuck Behind A Draw Bridge Today. And So Did An Ambulance
I wonder if it had lights and sirens going. If it doesn’t, it’s not usually that big of an emergency.
hmm you'd think ambulances in that area would only go to hospitals that can't be accessed only by that bridge in case.
As an EMT I was taught that the emergency ends when we reach the patient. If they've already picked up the victim, there's enough equipment in that ambulance to maintain them. If they haven't, hopefully they can radio for another vehicle to get there.
Also ambulance not allowed to cross railway when its showing red light.

Thanks To Windows, I Never Saw My Card Again
Saw this happen in Laos. One ATM in the village, and rolling black outs. Couple of lads I knew waited over an hour to use it, card in, blackout. No card or cash for you.
This happened to me once! About three or four xmas’ ago? Needed to get cash out for the bus journey home from work, it was xmas eve and the only cash machine that was working, broke. It shreds your card I think in case someone tries to hack it or something? It rebooted and saw it was running ruddy XP! Which was a great OS but cash machines should really be using something else. The bank was shut in the high street, cos everything was shutting early, and I had zero money on me. Another fun and long walk home.
Just ask an employee near by the closest store and see if they can help
I don't get this one. Is this an ATM? Those cards are easy to replace, no?
Atm, yes. And yes, you get your card back . Some days, even weeks later. But you need your money right now, so you will be there without money and withour your credit card...

Most corner-dwelling sign holders are not homeless or desperate. Some of the ones in my city work in teams of two to six people, standing at all points of egress from a freeway or a business. They can make between $2000-$4000 a day from begging.
Even if I was a fake homeless person, I'd be super excited about a free freshly baked warm bagel...
Load More Replies...I offered a granola bar to a person asking for money. They kindly declined and told me they didn't have enough teeth to chew it. They smiled. They did not have good teeth.
I love all you enlightened people who think you know everything about homelessness because you saw a homeless person one time. Most of what you hear is pure bullshit. How do I know? My profile picture was taken in 2019 when I was homeless. I never asked anyone for anything, and because of that people would leave me money, cigarettes, and bring me food occasionally. I was grateful for all of it. I didn't use the money for drugs or alcohol. I used it for water so I could stay hydrated. Food so I had energy. Soap so I could shower every day in the woods with a gallon of water. I also used money for laundry. Most people I met in my position did the same thing. There was no shelter where I was at. I wasn't homeless by choice, I was out of state working and my job shut down. It was an 850 mile trip home and I never got my last check. My car eventually ran out of gas and was towed. I didn't burn bridges, I just had no way to get ahold of anybody and knew plenty of people who would've helped. Bottom line, don't go making inaccurate blanket statements when you don't know s**t since you never lived it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I sincerely hope you are doing well now. And I hope it helps others have more compassion. My mom worked with the homeless for years. Most of the people were there due to circumstances out of their control.
Load More Replies...I once bought a spare filled bagel at the bakery and offered it a homeless man and he growled at me that he didnt want it and if I had a cigarette. I guess you can not just decide how someone wants your help, homeless people have a will of their own.
Of course they have, but then they shouldn't carry a sign reading "hungry - anything helps", should they?
Load More Replies...I would have blessed that bagel and counted it as a blessing when through no fault of our own we were hungry.
Load More Replies...I haven't seen anyone else stating this. But some homeless people stay away from eating food because hateful people poison and tamper with it. I imagine if you were truly hungry it'd be hard to resist though. But just a thought
They'd have every right to feel paranoid after reading this thread.

Woke Up Last Night To A Huge Crashing Sound Only To Find My Only Car Outside Completely Totaled By A Pos Driver. Nobody Else On The Road, 1 Am
Technically they are liable, but you will likely have to sue to get them to pay out. Its likely such a moron does not have insurance.
That's not how it works here. Your own insurance would cover damage to your car and then they chase the other party to reclaim the money. Most of our insurance companies now have an uninsured driver promise as well, meaning that they won't dock your no claims discount if you are hit by an uninsured driver.
Load More Replies...Happened to me many years ago, but the driver took out six cars and a tree. We heard the series of crashes, commented that SOMEONE was having a miserable night, then I found out I was included in the misery.
"Pos driver"? I googled it but I just got stuff about windows software. Though I don't discount windows is somehow involved in crashing cars as well as my home computer nowadays.

Some Non-Municipal Company Started Digging Up My And My Neighbor's Lawn With No Disclosure To Put Some Internet Service In, Broke All The Sprinkler Systems
Here in Ohio, US, you call 811 (or www.call811.com) a week or 2 before digging, they will send people out to mark all of underground stuff. Many companies won’t dig unless your yard is marked or that you can prove that they were out & didn’t find anything. And it’s free.
Utility marking companies will only mark UTILITIES. The sprinkler system belongs to the homeowner.
Load More Replies...Better to ask them to pay for the repairs first, then only threaten suing if necessary.
Load More Replies...Calling to mark utilities wouldn't have prevented this - they broke the sprinkler system and those would not have been marked as they are private "owner installed" systems.
Assuming that the land belongs to the neighbour, then they can't just go digging trenches there without some kind of permission. It would also be strange to route cables over someone else's property, unless you take an aerial route. Here we tend to run cables down the street and then tee them off to go to the individual properties. If that really is where communal cables have previously been run, then the neighbour should not have installed a sprinkler system over it.
We have 'utility easements' which usually run between two properties to the road, or along the back of a property. That land is owned by you, but is heavily restricted in what you may do with it. It varies from place to place, but generally no permanent structures are permitted, and they may disturb the landscaping whenever necessary to perform utility maintenance. I have two easements, one for the electric power utility's overhead lines, and the other for a stormwater runoff channel. If these folks laid their sprinkler system through a telephone company utility easement, it's their own fault. They needed to review the survey plat for their property before they installed anything.
Load More Replies...We have an asphalt company in our area who is notorious for not calling the safety dig hot line. He claims its cheaper to pay the fines than pay the fees and waiting for approvals. Moron. One day his workers are going die on the job because of his stupidity.
Call before you dig. It's the easiest, and cheapest thing in construction that you can do.
call who? utility companies won't mark your own sprinkler system
Load More Replies...Someone failed to call Miss Utility. (They will come out and mark where all the buried utilities are so you can dig safely)
Someone Drilled A Hole In My Gas Tank. They Got Away With Roughly $12 Worth Of Fuel
thats a hole, you can do it like the oil pan and put a bolt in
Load More Replies...Ouch and you got stuck with a several hundred dollar bill. That sucks.
But also could’ve been made by a bullet. If you symphonic all of the gas out of the gas tank, then rub a degreasing agent around the hole to remove all traces of fuel, you can use some J&B weld to put over the hole. J&B weld will hold forever. My dad was riding his motorcycle over railroad tracks and hit the engine case on a spike that was high. Immediately lot of oil started coming out of the cracked case. He was riding with three other guys so He pulled over to the side of the road cleaned off the oil pan which had about a 1/16 inch crack on the bottom and then put J&B weld on the oil pan. Dad rode that bike for another 120 thousand miles and it never leaked.

Load More Replies...After My Waitress Sat Down My Ice Water And Walked Away, My Glass Split Cleanly In Half
Let me explain, having seen this countless times as a server: A few glasses break over time because s**t happens in a fast-paced environment. Eventually running low, servers request more glasses. Manager denies request in anger; assumes that breakage should be extremely rare just like at home; assumes that servers are intentionally breaking glasses for fun (even though it takes 5 minutes of delicate cleanup every time it happens). Eventually the threshold is reached where there is no more backup glass inventory; you have to start using glasses fresh out of the scalding-hot dishwasher. Cold beverage in hot glass = another broken glass = even less inventory = even faster breakage rate. This of course leads to slower refills and occasionally broken glass at the table, lowering your tip. No, the neglectful manager's salary is not impacted in case you were worried.
I saw this happen with silverware. Servers accused of not being careful and throwing away silverware while clearing plates at the dish pit. So we're not going to get more and during the dinner rush, we constantly run out of rolled silverware for new tables - here's some To-Go silverware #NotCheap #AngryCustomers. Turns out someone on the morning kitchen prep crew was throwing it in the dumpster because they hated having to roll all the silverware that was cleaned after all of the servers had left (we all had to roll a certain amount at the end of the shift). That chucklehead got let go, but the servers didn't get compensated for crappy tips from people who didn't like trying to cut their steak with a plastic knife. Go figure...

Left Work To Go Home And Car Sounded Like It Lost A Muffler. Got Home And Found My Catalytic Converter Stolen While I Was Parked. I’ve Only Had This Car For 6 Months
This past summer there was a bunch of catalytic converters stolen. I guess they're easy to remove and contain some rare metals people can get fast cash for. People are terrible.
Had this happen at work this summer. Called the cops. They said there was a rash of thefts, people moving down the freeways and hitting the big parking lots and there was nothing they could do. Normally I'm pro-cop, but that steamed my biscuits. We had it all on camera and everything. Dead to rights. Said the license plate was from a rental car so they couldn't track it. B.S. It was just too much interdepartmental bureaucracy for them to deal with.
Load More Replies...In the UK this is very common, even during the day. Seems to be specific vehicles though. But yes, they're stolen because of the rare metals in them.
It's an industry now. Some shops pay for Catalytic convertors that have been stolen. The supply the tools to steal them.

Looks like chigger bites (red bugs). They can bite you through your clothing. If you can't use bug spray, an alternative is Chigg Away. It also soothes the itch.
If it bites "through" your clothing it is one hellava big chigger and you have no hope. You do not "find" chiggers in the grass but on woody stumps or piles of logs or in leaf mold/piles. Sitting on a wood pile might mean you end up with chigger bites along your waist. Chiggers are sneaky little snots.

As my doctor used to say, "Never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear." Even q-tips have warnings on them that they shouldn't go in your ear.
Every medic and the Q-Tips company: "Q-tips or any other cotton bud should not be used to clean your ears." People: "I guess I'll have to clean my ears with Q-tips."
Well sure, but have you ever tried cleaning your ear with your elbow?
Load More Replies...I know they say not to use q-tips in your ear, but what are they actually for then? I can't really think of another use.
Cleaning other parts of your face or small body crevices like your belly button. Can also be used for not-body things like keyboards or other small not-sensitive devices. I use them mainly for removing/touching up makeup or removing nail polish. They can also be used to clean the outside of your ears, but you shouldn’t push them into the ear canal.
Load More Replies...The thing that some people don’t realize is that you can still use q-tips to clean your ears. But only the outside. Where people go wrong is in shoving the q-tip into the ear canal, which is where it causes damage or in this case, gets stuck

My Mother In Law Started The Dishwasher For Us When We Were Away. She Used Dish Soap

Uh no... there are very strict rules about businesses selling items over a specified temp... where I live it is over 5 degrees C for cold stock and more than -18 degrees C for frozen... if stock is found to be outside that limit it must be written off and thrown away... if the business allowed staff and friends to take the products they could be sued for negligence/food safety laws... hence why I am always sh*tted off when I see people getting deli goods and leaving them in cold sections, cold goods on shelves and frozen goods outside freezers... all this stock gets trashed, insurance may be claimed but your grocery prices will go up... and its a damn waste...

Cost me $12USD. Just had to have this done when I found a nail in my tire.

This is why I haven't gotten a PC case with a tempered glass side panel yet. My acrylic panelled carbide air 540 might not be as flashy as most modern cases but it will last a lot longer.
This is what people don't realize about tempered glass, it can just explode without anything touching it. And it can take very little pressure to break it at other times. But it can last for years too, and much safer that giant shards of untempered glass. Oh, and Never try cutting it. It has to be cut to size before it is tempered.

Got My Toddler New Shoes Over The Weekend. He Just Threw One Of Them Into The Fireplace
Or just get a refund completely! And get a cat. No shoes required

LIKE I UNDER STAND THAT THEY "DONT KNOW ANY BETTER", BUT WHY, WHY FOR THE SAKE OF ZEUS AND WHOEVER ELSE IS HOLEY, WHY?!?!?AND THEN THERE ARE THE ADULTS THAT LEAVE CHILDREN WITH LITERAL FIRE. (I know that this is a very unpopular opinion, but I am terrified of children, and I'm almost as terrified by people who don't understand why.)

empty the vaccum bag ( or put a clean one on) and vaccum them up. Then you can empty the bag and sort them again
Dustpan and brush, so much easier. My vac is too dusty, I'd have to wash them after.

On the plus side, that's an awful lot of real onion for a McD's burger.
Was Invited On My First Date Since The Pandemic. As Soon As We Began Discussing Date Details, Facebook Services Crashed And Now I’m Reading A Book Alone In A Bar
Facebook goes down? THAT'S your bad day??... enjoy your drink in peace! lol
You missed the part about making their first dinner-date in more than a year, and the communications platform used for making that date quit working.

Today I was hopping down the stairs on my right leg because I've hurt my knee on my left leg and I misstepped and sprained my ankle and both legs are stuffed and every step is painful. I also have a multi hour cadets thing that i have to be standing for on the weekend .
I had pretty bad week this year in February. I had covid and heating in my house stopped working. I couldn't fix it, no one else could go to my house, it was -20 °C outside. I had little portable heater, but it wasn't enough.
Hope things are better for you. Currently waiting for insurance adjuster because... well... my heater went out and my portable unit set fire to the electrical socket. Fortunately it's not -20°C! I applaud your stamina, friend. That's a rough temp to endure without heat.

We had a couple of bad months a year ago when pretty much every single appliance in the house broke… it started with the refrigerator, the same one that’s broken like six times before but unless it breaks three times in the exact same way the warranty doesn’t cover a replacement, just fixes it. This time it broke completely and wasn’t fixable, we ordered a new one but warranty compensation wasn’t working very smoothly so we had to pay out of pocket at first, fortunately they also paid for a rental (which had the same compensation headache), we put it in the garage because it was supposed to be only a month or so. And then it was delayed, and delayed, and delayed, and eventually we got a bigger rental and put it in the house, because apparently the new fridge wasn’t going to come for months. It was on the slow boat from China. And the US didn’t really like China at that point. And that whole clogged ports/Suez Canal/pandemic thing. So we didn’t get a new fridge for about six months.
During which time the toilet broke, we fixed it and it broke again, several printers broke, the other toilet broke, the vacuum broke a few times, the heater broke, I think the water heater broke too, the washing machine started leaking once or twice, and I was placing my bets on the kitchen sink going next. (Of course it’s still holding on while everything else collapses.) Oh, and to top it all off, our septic tank started leaching into our chicken coop. Not fun. But the best part is, it just started up again, and this time it’s not leaking slowly, it’s bubbling up and we think there’s actually a broken pipe underground. Oh, and our grill broke. So I wouldn’t say it’s been a bad day, but fall has not been a good season for our house.
