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!

I've seen metal thieves having stolen railway cables or plumbing on construction sites but a porch?

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.

When I was about 10 I got my heel caught in an escalator, I fell and people tried to get around me but weren’t too successful. I’m still scared of escalators 60 years later!

I watched a kid in long baggy jeans get them caught in an escalator. They were practically ripped off him before someone hit the stop button.

when they make you wear them through TSA, they are pretty handy. nothing wrong with picking up your feet when you walk. Makes your shoes last longer.

There should be an emergency stop button around close to both ends. In Australia that automatically calls staff to help, as well as stopping the damned thing. ___ Think about being blind and trying to use one of these :-O...or on crutches.

I don't even own flip flops for this and other reasons. They may be comfortable but they do not protect your feet at all. Saw a woman at the air show slice her foot up royal -- her flip flop caught on the plane's ramp, she slipped and her bare foot slid across a sharp edge on a hinge. She bled like she'd been hacked with a machete. They had notices about wearing sensible footwear in the announcements, at the gate, everywhere, but she and others like her (high heels, anyone?) ignore the signs.
