We all have bad days. Things don’t go our way, we forget to fuel up the car, our favorite shirts have a rip and your boss is asking you to come in on your day off. What can often help is a little bit of perspective, because as bad as you might have it, someone else could be doing worse.
That's why we have gathered some examples of folks having some of the worst days at work possible. So prepare yourself for either a good amount of schadenfreude or sympathy as you scroll through. Be sure to upvote your favorite posts and comment about your worst day at work below.

Despite the objectively horrible time these folks had, as the saying goes, there is always a bigger fish, or in this case, workplace disaster. For example, bringing dads to their knees across the globe, the London Beer Flood of 1814, when a number of huge wooden vats for fermenting porter broke, caused a chain reaction that flooded the neighborhood.
When the vat broke, the deluge of liquid slammed into other vats, breaking them and adding to the “avalanche” of beer. Between 580,000 and 1,470,000 liters of beer smashed through the brewery walls and cascaded through the neighborhood.

Like something out of a hybrid of a disaster movie and comedy, a 15-foot (4.6 m) wave of beer rushed through the area, demolishing two houses and leading to eight deaths. As the area had very poor drainage, much of the beer ended up in the basements of nearby buildings, which at the time were often inhabited.

Reminds me of the time there was an all out fistfight in our 711. Everything on the floor had to be trashed. The amount of blood splattered on everything. Anything with blood on it was tossed too! No, we're not allowed to take anything home or to eat(cans and packages). Since it took several hours to clean, and thus happened after midnight, all prepackaged meals were also thrown out six hours earlier than their expiration. We could eat the stuff that had not been stocked yet but technically expired in several hours since we would be open then. We had to scub walls

While later accounts state that mass drinking followed, the papers at the time made no such reports. Similarly, the beer would have been so diluted and dirty as to not really be drinkable at all.

The only upside of the disaster is that it did spark some changes in how breweries operate. After the London Beer Flood, breweries started to use vessels lined with concrete, to ensure that something similar does not happen again. The company itself continued to operate until 1961, relatively unphased by the chaos.

However, the vast majority of us will not be impacted by disasters at this scale. First and foremost, they simply do not happen that often, as there are tens of thousands of factories, mills, and breweries around the globe that do not explode.

Those gloves weren’t sterile the second the person touched the outside of them with the gloves they’re wearing, so it’s almost pointless to even do this. Not only that, I’ve only ever put on sterile gloves right where I’m going to be needing to be sterile, definitely not near a sink of any kind.

The Ceiling Leaked All Over The Computers At Work
Nikki Gross 2 years ago (edited)
We had something similar happen to one of the labs at my former job and it was a expensive mess to deal with for us. The Testing Lab upstairs had a plumbing issue from one of their biohazard sinks in a section of their lab that was upstairs from and was directly over our Stem Cell lab. It caused the ceiling in the SC lab to cave in because of the leak and it was right over where the computer workstations were set up. 4 brand new computers that were installed 2 months prior to the leak were completely destroyed along with several other pieces of lab equipment. Since it was a biohazard sink and drain everything had to be tossed and disposed of so we couldn't even salvage anything. This was at a non-profit blood bank so coming up with the money to replace everything that was ruined was a massive pain in the a*s.

Forced to to clean up? Unusual but not insanely difficult, dangerous, or gross. I’d do it quickly if it was my workplace. Can’t work if there isn’t a place to store food. Looks like they've already relocated most of the ingredients stored there. Two options, thaw it out or chip. For ease and safety, I’d vote for thawing it out. Turn off the power to the refrigerator just in case. An inexpensive utility pump from the hardware store would help prevent mess. Then it’s a quick mop and wipe once the leak was fixed. Check and insure the insulation was water logged though. You don’t want mold. Now that’s a mess I wouldn’t want to deal with.

@Stephanie: I completely agree with the end-stems. But what makes me wonders is you calling Romaine lettuce to be "tough, bitter and... full of leaf spines".

And I'm even wondering more what you think of rocket, radicchio or endive?

He said he saw the loose wire and an empty hole so he just plugged it in, thereby creating a loop. And so it began.

Today I Lost My Job And My Bike
Chelsea McKee 2 years ago
Aw, I'm sorry! ❤️ People have stolen my Ex's bike twice, and it partially keeps me from buying one! They have some pretty advanced lock and alarm systems nowadays, couple that with a GPS tracker and some affordable insurance (Lemonade) and you should be good to go.

i would steal my ex's bike.... and then sell it back to them for more money ( they would deserve it)

My friends uncle works as a carer (ie, he makes house visits to the elderly to help them with their needs) and he's had his bike stolen several times now. Even if they can't get your entire bike they'll take whatever parts they can get off quick enough.

30 Minutes From Completing A Job And This Happens
Stygtand 2 years ago
We use simular sand in the outdoor metal kabinets (fiberoptic networks), to absorb moisture from the ground. I usally get it out with a vacum cleaner. As long as its not wet, øits quite light and easy to remove

I believe they meant the tool used to haul the sand?

Just move it all to the floor, but do it quickly. Time is money. Desks are for closers.

Keyboard At My New Job's Work Computer
Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) 2 years ago
I've seen worse. Production floor PCs take a lot more abuse than office PCs.

Plastic covers for keyboards have veen around for quite a while.

My first job, I came in early one day, dismantled the keyboard, and cleaned it key by key because it was gross. (And we're not talking a PC keyboard here, we're talking old school mainframe terminal, with 24 F keys and a pile of other functions too.) I was moved desks 2 days later. That one was worse - I wonder why they moved me?

Hah, kindred spirit. Just make sure to snap a pic before disassembly, so you know which keys go where. You always think you do until it's time to reassemble.

I work in IT and this is a common sight, surprised I haven't caught the plague over the years !

IT friend gave a me 2 servers from a local industry (something to do with fiberfill production). I blew them out and when I was done the driveway in front of my shop looked like it had snowed. I told him they should put those servers in a room. He said they are and they have filters on the servers themselves. What I blew out is what got inside the room and through the filters and....it had been less than 6 months since he blew them out.

And that is why I bought my own wireless keyboard and mouse for work

Again a post that won't load. And no, instead of fixing any problems, BP now embedded f*****g pop-up ADs into the app of their site, which are impossible to click away without them opening the app store. Screw yourself backwards!

Anyone else experiencing the massively slowed down post scrolling in the BP app? It is almost unusable and will definitely cause thumb arthritis....
Phoenix(or nix)they/them 2 years ago
Yeah. When I scroll, it will catch words and highlight them or it will catch things that can be opened in a separate tab and try to get me to open them. I don't want to. BP didn't used to do this. Idk it might be my phone, but whatever.

Sort it out already Bored Panda, this is beyond ridiculous now. And stop taking down app store reviews that mention this problem.
