When it feels like the world is against you, a few things can make it somewhat better. A bucket of choco chip ice cream is one, binge watching Community with your therapy dog is another. But the most potent antidote known to man is a bittersweet one, and it’s knowing that someone is having a day even more vile than you are.

Whether it’s a spilled coffee or “as luck would have it” moment, get ready for a barely legal therapy list down below as compiled by Bored Panda. Be sure to check out our previous posts with bad, worse, and 100% evil days here, here, and here and don’t forget to let us know how your day is going so far in the comment section.

Even if there’s no skip button for those 24-hour hell on earth benders, at least we can all have a laugh at them.

Door Was Jammed Form Inside So Phoned A Guy To Repair It. He Managed To Open It, Left His Tools Outside, Came Inside And Shut The Door. Now We're Both Stuck

moghees Report

Previously, Bored Panda reached out to Vasia Toxavidi, a counselor and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), to find out about ways of dealing with mishaps and developing psychological resilience.

According to Vasia, even the smallest mishaps like “throwing our morning coffee on us or even getting a text or an email we don’t like can affect the rest of our day.” A typical reaction is “Oh, great start to the day!” but according to the counselor, the negative bias can directly affect the course of events.

Scientists say that the reason we are all wired for ‘negatively biased’ thinking is because negative events and emotions have a greater impact in our brains than the positive ones. Even the smallest things that generate negative reactions can snowball into the forecast for the rest of the day, or even the week.

When The Tiger Shark You're Photographing Swims Off With Your Camera Rig

Jim Abernethy Report

According to Vasia, we end up creating a self-fulfilling prophecy because we look at the world through lenses triggered by anger, fear, or the expectation that something will go wrong. And in that sense, the reality is only how we perceive it.

ADVERTISEMENT

So as humans, we tend to not only forecast things to go badly because of otherwise meaningless mishaps, we tend to fixate on virtually any negative moments. Whether it’s recalling insults better than praise, reacting more strongly to negative stimuli than to positive, thinking about negative things more frequently than positive, it all contributes to our behavior.

Just Lost Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Product At Work. Most Likely Getting Fired

Just Lost Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Product At Work. Most Likely Getting Fired

UPDATE: It's bell pepper, about $250 a kilo and we lost 20 kilos in total. What happened was I was discharging the product inside the container and I thought I was completely done because none was coming out. I undo all of the screws, lift it up, and a shit ton poor's out. It turned out that the valve closed due to the vibration of the pump motor and there was a lot of leftover. No one will see it, hopefully. Most of the employees only use Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
UPDATE: I didn't get fired! But I do have to go back to that order and make another 20 kilos which will be a long day. They were really understanding and forgave me for my mistake. Thank god I didn't lose my job!

This bias toward the negative leads you to pay much more attention to the bad things that happen, making them seem much more important than they really are.

It is thought that the negative bias comes from our ancestors who’d pay attention to bad, dangerous, and negative threats in the world. It was literally a matter of life and death. Those who were more attuned to danger had higher chances of survival.

But that doesn’t mean that we cannot escape the negative bias trap. On the contrary, once you are aware this is how your brain works, you can make a conscious effort to stop it.

For example, a great start is cutting down on negative self-talk, which we all secretly are into. Instead of fixating on your past mistakes, consider what you have learned and ways to apply your newly acquired knowledge. In this way, you approach the same situation from a positive outlook.

Secondly, make sure you catch yourself drifting into negativity. At this moment, you may want to go for a walk, do other things that make you happy, and listen to your favorite song. In this way, newly established patterns will not let you fixate on negative emotions.

Put spider and egg sack into jar. Deliver to nearest university. Go home, sit down, and start screaming into a pillow until you feel better. We get them in our area, and an old pickle jar works nicely, in tandem with a square of balsa wood, while wearing thick leather gloves. Yes, I've done this. Move slowly. Make sure there's no shadow falling over the spider. ....AND USE FREEZE SPRAY (flash-freezes) ON IT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE!

Just get a large cup and scoop her and her egg sac in and stick her in a far corner of the garden! I've removed black widows like this, and it's no problem. Just wear a pair of work gloves while doing so. She's a spider, not a hippo. Let her go eat bugs and do her spidery thing.

What is all this crap about burning the car? Just ... take some device providing a safe distance to her, put she in some enclosure, the nest, too, and then just throw them out? I know, they biting you makes the day even worse than seeing her, but this is by no means a reason to abort her pregnancy ... where's prolife in the rare cases someone might actually benefit from them?

I was presented with this same exact scene when opening my sewing machine. Fortunately for me I had an empty pickle jar in my kitchen and was able to maneuver both the spider and the egg sack into the jar without incident to either myself or the arachnids. The local nature museum said they'd be happy for the addition and to bring it around the next day. The next morning I picked up the jar to find mama surrounded by dozens of itty bitty babies. The museum got a bonus, and I sidestepped having to bug bomb my entire house by ONE day. I still shudder to think what I might have walked into if I had decided to wait another week to start that sewing project.

They are not too aggressive. They wont bite if they don't feel squished. If it was I, I would just charge the battery around it. If it's presence made me too uncomfortable, I would remove it. If I had time, I'd just eave the car in the sun. She'll go away on her own. The whole car would be to hot for her nest.

Her kiss is 16 times as venomous as that of the rattlesnake. It causes intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, violent convulsions and finally, er, death." etc (from memory, so may not be word for word)

True story - I once tried to spray-flame a spidernest with a lynx can + lighter. The nest immediately broke and hundreds of the things spewed forth. It was the stuff of nightmares. Never again.

Big deal. They are common in Southern California. They don't move fast, their venom CAN kill you, so you kill them with a shoe or a thick rag, and, move on.

Yeah, thanks for spreading false information. They aren't famous for their venom. They're known for the pain. Go to the doctors office, get the bite checked out, and, of course, call an exterminator.

Oh nooo, I would have been devastated. I have done similar but instead of the slow cooker, I forgot to turn the oven on.

In a previous interview with Vasia Toxavidi, a counselor and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), we found out that psychological resilience is also key in dealing with negativity. 

“Although there has been a debate whether resilience, mental and emotional, is innate or something that can be developed, for me, it’s an innate condition that all humans have but needs to be developed and modeled well for it to come to the surface," she explained.

“All humans are wired for survival, so resilience must be an innate trait for everyone for this to happen, but if it’s never developed, then it may not come out as a trait for someone."

She added that humor can help us reframe problems that we would otherwise interpret as "overwhelming and damaging." Not only that. Toxavidi told Bored Panda that humor can loosen you up, energize your thinking, help you take hardships less seriously, and manage disappointment better.

"Another important key to resilience is to be part of a community and have external support from family, friends and others. As humans, we’re social animals so without having a strong sense of belonging, we cannot thrive or be resilient," she concluded.

I would say that is the result of an extremely disgruntled employee or an earthquake.

Is this a test? If so, then your teachers should check the paper themselves and not rely on AI.

Often people who get burnt on cloudy days etc are not actually wind burnt as some suggest. It can be a cool day and you can still get sunburnt so always best to check the UV rating for the day and if you are in the elements all day then it is always best to protect yourself.

Put the lid back on and flip it, most of the stuff will end up in the correct place and you will only have to sort some of it out.
