Imagine this scenario: upon waking up in the morning, you find out that you have overslept and now are late for work, so while pouring a quick cup of coffee you put salt instead of sugar in it. After you've locked the door and went halfway to work in your car, you spot that you are wearing your fluffy pink slippers, that are oh so inappropriate for work. When you've somehow managed to suffer through the day and decide to treat yourself with a nice meal on your way back home, lo and behold, your wallet is nowhere in sight. All pissed off as a bear awaken from its winter slumber you stomp into your house, trip on the doormat, fall and hit your nose, causing you a nosebleed. It definitely sounds like you are terribly unlucky, right?

Not to worry though, as you can always console with other peoples' bad luck and epic fails - all of us do have these kinds of worst days ever. All you can do, really, is get through it, get an early night, start afresh tomorrow, and forget about the sad story called yesterday.

Sometimes though, it's all about perspective. Are things really that bad? Maybe after seeing this list, compiled by Bored Panda, you'll change your mind a bit. Now benefitting from the funny fails of others is not usually something we encourage, but these people are having a really lousy day. So cheer up, it could be worse! Scroll down below to check these unfortunate folks out for yourself, and be prepared to feel some schadenfreude too!

It can be painful for kids to fly but it's something the parents need to take care. I admitt they can fail but not showing themselves when their kids go ape s**t is lame. I would definitivly ask very loudly on the plain for them to show up and take their responsabilities with their monstrers.

"Painful for kids to fly"? What's so painful? They get bored? The real pain is for the adults and the headaches they will get from all the screaming, crying, whining etc. Not to mention the mess.

Passenger: “I’m sorry. I changed my mind. I’ll walk to my destination”. Flight Attendant: “But sir, it’s an oversea trip”. Passenger: “Swimming is fine too, just let me out of here.”

Agreed! And if that doesn't work, sit down and start teaching them rude songs and rhymes - they'll definitely offer you a different seat then (although it may be off the plane...)

i remember when i was a kid & used to travel the with my mom; the airline used to give the kids something like a goodie bag with jigsaw puzzles, colouring books, rubric's cube, tiny replica of the aircraft - i remember Dubai airport [this is a really old airport] having a a play room where there was a kiddie slide, see saw, ball pit etc - My mum used to send me in there - i would play and then be flat out in the flight - this was back in the 1990's - i dont understand why this cant be done in 2018

Emirates still does this, with the goodie bags. Maybe not domestic flights though. The kids here look like they've been up too long. The post says it's a red-eye and usually families won't opt for those, I'm sensing they probably got delayed and put on another plane (not part of their original plans).

Also, it's the 'red-eye' flight, so these kids are up way past their bedtime, are in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable environment, their ears hurt, etc...big fail on the part of the parents not to be better prepared...and the flight attendants for not facilitating better seating once the situation became clear.

By 2 years old, hopefully, you know when your kids' nap time is. Plan around that. Practice at home how things will go. So many parents just wing it their whole life.

The airline split up my 2yr old daughter and I to “accommodate” a newlywed couple to sit together on the way home from China! Luckily the couple wasn’t excited to see her and agreed to switch back.

Bit of a problem when you have more kids than will fit in one row of seats. The more kids you have, the better behaved you need them to be, I guess.

I'm curious. Are the kids roaming freely and decided to annoy this guy or did the parents actually book seats for their kids in a different section than themselves? Or do they have so many kids that they couldn't sit with all of them? Or are the kids flying by themselves? I flew by myself once when I was 12 but the flight attendant paid extra attention to me because I was alone. Also 2 kids in the same seat? Or is the girl checking on her crying sibling and she has a seat in a different row? Are these Duggar kids? I have so many questions!

Often the airlines don't allow for people with children to put the children next to them. I fly a lot as a single passenger, and often its difficult to find a seat I want, but when I've flown with my family I often am just happy I can find two seats to put my wife and child in and then find a single seat for myself. I so rarely find three four or all five seats together.

Unbelievable! I've flown every year with my kids (mostly with my husband, but occasionally without) since they were babies and they would never be allowed to get away with behaviour like this! I'm always superconscious to ensure my children were kept quiet and entertained, so as not to disturb other passengers. I would say though, in my 20 plus years of experience of flying, the most disruptive passengers are adults in hen/stag parties,not kids!

Back in the 80's, I was flying from Detroit to Seattle and had hopes of sleeping on the plane since I pulled an all-nighter with my family. I thought I had it made because I had a window seat and the window had a deep sill where I could rest my head in. Would have been great except that a little girl next to me kept hitting and tapping me often. Did the mother do anything about it? Nope! I even gave them both a look which didn't tell them anything. The child was not a toddler but old enough to know what she was doing. I was miserable during that whole flight and was afraid to say anything. Why do parents let their kids bug other people?!

I prefer to sit next to parent with fussy babies. If I sit next to them I can help keep the child quiet. But if I sit a few rows away I get to hear the loud kid without being able to help quiet it down.
