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!

Shayla, your BF is a genius. I need to remember this excuse next time my BF is at my house unannounced and I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be. BF: Hey I'm at your hose, where are you? ME: Ummmm....uhhhhhh.... iii'mmmmmm .... at YOUR house...... Oh dang, we missed one another... awww.
You are in tune with each other, a little out of tune, but together. 😀
I have done this before and this was before cell phones and so waited for over 3 hours on the way home we passed each other and we saw each other laughed and went out to eat.

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)

To add insult to the injury, she looks more stylish, chic and elegant without the wig!
Load More Replies...In the last pic, the wig looks like it's scurrying away cousin It style.
Just curious, are wigs a cultural thing for black Americans? I've rarely seen those used as a fashion implement in other countries.
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. For most black women wash n' go in the morning is NOT an option. Combing and styling our natural hair every day can be really time consuming, so if you don't wear braids, cornrows, extensions or dreadlocs, it's hella easier to just pop a wig on. I've worn dredlocs for almost 20 years, which is much much easier, but i'm about to get rid of them soon.

Elyse Brought Home A New Kitty Today! Gavin Hoefs Recorded Them Bonding On The Way Home
The kitten was probably scared to death. They should have had it in a carrier and allowed it to get acquainted with the house first instead of the car. But they wanted to hold it RIGHT NOW so that’s what they get for being selfish lol
Now that is a LOT of poop for one small kitten! OMG!! And it looks like another load is about to exit the supply truck onto the tarmac!!
Our new puppy puked in my son's lap on the way home. We pulled into a gas station and he jumped out of the car and started to strip. So there we were, in the middle of a busy parking lot with a half-naked sobbing kid. We were trying too hard not to laugh to explain anything to the bewildered witnesses.
Puppies are often travel sick - they tend to travel better in a suitable cage and fingers crossed they grow out of it. Though holding the new puppy is pretty irresistible!!!

Wife Asked Me To Check If The Chickens Laid Any Eggs. I'm Gonna Say No
Pro tip: if you want to get the snake away, put on some gloves (some snakes release a DISGUSTING smell when scared that does not wash out easily), get behind it and when you have good access grab it’s neck, right where it’s skull connects and pick it up. Don’t squeeze it, just keep a firm grip because by holding it there they cannot move their head around to bite you. Take it away from your chickens and set it down quickly.

My Ex and I traveled to Fargo, ND for Christmas with his family one year. It was -15 below when we arrived. We rented a car at the local airport. They keep them outside in the elements. The car doors and windows were frozen solid. We had to crawl in the back window of the SUV. Used a hairdryer to thaw out the door handles. FUN times!
Tell your boss that your car is on a mount of snow an will be a few hours late oh send him the picture also ;=]]
I'm confused. How did this happen? It doesn't snow here, this is new to me.
I think there was originally a thick layer of snow everywhere, then the snow melted from sunlight but the car’s shadow prevented the snow right under it from melting.

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...)
Load More Replies...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).
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...OH NO. Airlines need to make it easier for parents to be seated with their children.

I had the exact same thought, in the very least might want to contact a doctor for an opinion, and carry an epi pen.
Load More Replies...This looks like an allergic reaction. It is too much for just one sting. I hope she gets doctor checked. Imagine that sort of swelling *inside* your throat. ( That can happen from sting elsewhere on the body, if you are allergic.) And if she is allergic the next sting will be worse.
That much swelling is evidence of an allergy beyond the normal reaction. Bee sting allergic reactions can get worse each time. Having an Epipen near by might not be a bad idea. Just sayin'

Insect allergies are weird. You don't develop an insect allergy until you have your first allergic reaction to the exposure. If you are tested before that, it won't show up. I have an allergy to fire ant venom and only found out once I was admitted with anaphylaxis.
