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!

Thank You, Facebook
Necessary complement to FB's option: "Want to look back on past birthday memories to see when it all started to go wrong?".

Load More Replies...(Programmer here): I need to know if they went to the effort to make it say "friend" (non-plural) for 1 friend, because if so, they actually put the thought into making sure that 0 friends displayed correctly as plural. Which would mean that somebody realized in advance this dialogue was possible and left it that way.
That's pretty mean about the no friends comment, diane a. What if it had been true? Anyway I'm a bit confused by what you're saying but I think that's because you (by your own admission) are confused by what I was saying. I didn't explain it well at all - it was kind of meant to be a programmer joke. But I was referring to the fact that the text on the screen had to be put together in code, where "number of friends" is a variable with a name, for example "numFriends" and there has to be a check or an "if x is true, do y" sort of statement to put the string together. The easiest way is no check at all - the statement is just "[numFriends] friends wished you a happy birthday". That won't be grammatically correct if numFriends is 1, so the next easiest thing is to start with the assumption that numFriends has a non-zero value and use "[numFriends] friend" + (if numFriends > 1 say "s" otherwise say nothing) + " wished you a happy birthday". (1/2 - continued)

And Facebook solicits your friends to wish you a happy birthday! Only a computer can smile that wide while being a total a*****e.
Have a happy belated birthday, Gary (It's me, your only friend, Burt!)
Hey, maybe no friends wished him a happy birthday, but at least he has friends....
This is something that Facebook would want to deal with. It.should.not.happen
Poor you...at least you shouldn’t be reminded of it! Happy Birthday Gary! 💋
How do we know Gary isn't a serial killer...? "Gary"... if that is your REAL name...

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.
