Remember Daniel Powter's song Bad Day? The one where he sings about our blue sky fading to gray and our passion going away? There's something about belting your worries away that's quite relieving.
But Bored Panda has something even better, something that should help you forget your troubles altogether. Even if for a little while.
You see, we Lithuanians "like to watch our neighbor's house burn" so in honor of our roots, what if we painted their sky even darker? No, not black. More like a bottle of sweet and sour sauce exploding in a bag. Or accidentally taking a laxative instead of aspirin.
We put together a new list of pictures that show people having a terrible day, and we're quite confident they will make you feel better about yours. Scroll down to check out the images and catch up on the series here, here, and here.

Dealing with unexpected situations can be tricky. And not just in terms of the money needed to clean up the mess. "Some degree of anxiety is normal and even necessary," Dr. Ann Epstein, a psychiatrist at Harvard-affiliated Cambridge Health Alliance and medical editor of the Harvard Special Health Report Coping with Anxiety and Stress, said.
"Anxiety signals to us that something is awry or might need our attention. However, you don't want the response to become exaggerated or to dominate your life," Epstein explained. Good coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety can help you get through turbulent times.

I Think My Dad Regrets His Decision To Clean The Gutters With A Leaf Blower
But Vanessa Bohns, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University and the author of the forthcoming book 'You Have More Influence Than You Think,’ had some good news for us. In an earlier Bored Panda interview, she said that being embarrassed (and not hiding it!) can actually help us connect with other people. Hopefully, it’ll convince you to embrace blushing, feeling embarrassed, and being in awkward situations.
“Displaying signs of mild embarrassment can actually be socially constructive and make people feel more sympathetic towards you in the face of your faux pas,” Vanessa explained.

I Can't Find The Culprit That Left This In My House
“I don’t necessarily think you need to take pains to hide it,” Vanessa added that we ought to avoid running away from our embarrassment or pretending that we’re not feeling like we’re feeling.
However, there is something that we should be aware of and that’s not letting our embarrassment turn to shame. A healthy dose of blushing and awkward mumbling is one thing, but deep-seated shame is problematic in the long run.

Is It Funnier Knowing That These Are Antidepressants?
“What you want to be careful not to do is to let embarrassment morph into the more destructive self-conscious emotion of shame, where you feel so badly about a minor mistake that you start to think there is something wrong with you and feel the need to completely disappear and hide away yourself,” Vanessa said.
Hopefully, this list will convince you to embrace blushing and climb out of awkward situations with stronger interpersonal connections!

Statistically speaking it doesn't matter if you are 1 off or a 100 off, it's the same difference in terms of chance. Feeling like you were "close to winning" just because the numbers are 1 or 2 off is purely a mental construct since you were -from a statistical standpoint- equally close as anyone else who didn't win.

Have to constantly clean them or they look gross, they break, if they break while you are in the shower you get bits of glass embedded in you, especially if you slip and fall through them, etc, etc, etc

keep windows open at night time and or where window is in shade and with wind/air flow , fully closed windows during the day time and the direct sun side. Put shades, including sun tolerant plants out, in order to avoid heating up the cement, bricks, asphalt. All this can help to keep 10 C less indoor, compared to outdoor temperature. Do not spill cold water around the home - it will only release the heat from the ground to the air and over the walls, plus more humidity.

I just want to ask some of the people in the comments – it must be really nice to know absolutely everything and never make a mistake? And also, didn't your mother teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, you are allowed to just shut up?
Because you had a bad day, you're takin' one down, you sing a sad song just to turn it around. You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie, you work at a smile and you go for a ride, you had a bad day... you had a bad day.
I found out a week or so ago I have to get 4-6 teeth pulled. It's happening a week from now. Yippee.
