50 People Who Had Such A Bad Time, They Just Had To Share Their Pain With The World (New Pics)
You wake up disoriented and realize your phone is dead. It’s 10am and you were supposed to be at work an hour ago, but your alarm clock is trapped in your phone that desperately needs to be charged. You bolt out the door as fast as you can only to see that your car has a flat tire. You need to call your boss, but your phone is still dead and you can’t even call a taxi without it. And when it seems like things can’t get any worse, you rush back up to your apartment to find that you've locked yourself out.
Did that paragraph stress you out? Sorry, take some deep breaths. It’s not your reality! But we all know that feeling of having a comically bad day. It’s like a storm cloud is hovering over us that we just can’t seem to shake because when it rains, it pours. After the fact, these terrible days often turn into funny anecdotes we can share with friends, once the relief of the day being over has set in. So to laugh along with (okay, and a little bit at) some people who have shared their worst fails and bad days online, we’ve gathered some photos of these horrible experiences down below for you.
So sit back, relax, and be thankful that your day is not going as terribly as the days featured in these pics. Keep reading to also find an interview with Francesco Benedetti, President of Fail!, an inspiring project aimed at normalizing failure and eliminating the stigma often associated with it. Then if you’d like to check out even more hilarious fails that have been featured on Bored Panda, you can find our last articles on the same topic here and here.

This is why people need to think about having a dog if they work full time. You need to arrange some form of dog day care or have a friend/relative/ dog walker look in. Even dogs that aren't destructive could suffer stress and howl/ bark themselves hoarse or even self harm (biting their feet, pulling hair out). They are pack animals and do not like to be alone. If you wouldn't leave a toddler alone for 8 hours then don't do it a dog either.
