What could possibly go wrong? Now, those are five words that you should probably never utter unless you’re prepared to find out the honest, uncomfortable answer. They’re often spoken just before disaster strikes and you’re left with egg on your face.

We’ve all been there. One moment everything is going swimmingly and the next, it isn’t. Thanks to smartphones, doorbell/dashcam/cctv cameras, and the internet, many people’s tiny (or epic) personal mishaps are now on display for all the world to see. There are even dedicated online communities that love sharing (and laughing at) these unfortunate but hilarious fails.

One of them is aptly called Anything Gone Wrong. The Facebook group has more than 938,000 members reminding each other that whenever you think you’re having a bad day, there’s probably someone out there having a worse one than you. Bored Panda has put together the best posts from the community for your viewing pleasure. Try not to laugh too hard, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.

Not Only Did Grandpa Already Have This Shirt, He Was Wearing It When He Unwrapped It

Not Only Did Grandpa Already Have This Shirt, He Was Wearing It When He Unwrapped It

BJK5150 Report

There are mornings we get out of the wrong side of bed and it's just downhill from there. Whatever can go wrong somehow does, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. But experts say there are ways to lessen the bad days, or at least cope better when we find ourselves in an endless loop of chaotic mishaps.

The key, say many, is how you begin your morning. "One of the most effective ways to start your day is with a routine," reveals the Mind Tools site. "Positive morning habits can help to reduce unnecessary stress that might tire you out before you've even begun work."

    I Feel Like There Is Some Sort Of Untoad Story Behind This

    North Report

    If you wake up late and find yourself rushing around, you're more likely to feel stressed, anxious, forget things and possibly have silly mishaps. Try to set an alarm for the same time every morning and get up when it goes off. Even better if you set it with enough time to relax before you have to start getting ready.

    Studies show setting your alarm for one hour earlier in the morning can actually decrease your risk of depression and improve your mood. Even if you're a night owl.

    Another great tip is to get things ready the night before.

    "This is especially important for working parents whose mornings often involve organizing packed lunches and getting the kids ready for school, not to mention building in time for the school run," notes the site.

    So, every night before bed, pick your outfit for the following day, put school uniforms and bags together, pack the lunches, and lay out your keys, purse and whatever else you may need. You'll save yourself the hassle of frantically searching for things as you're about to head out the door the next morning.

    My Finger After Getting It Stuck In A Car Door

    The Mechanics Report

    Try not to skip breakfast. You'll be doing your body and mind a huge favor by feeding it something nutritious that'll keep you going. There's a reason many call it "the most important meal of the day." Fresh air, even five minutes in the garden, is another great addition to your morning.

    Experts also suggest putting on some music (or a podcast) while you're getting done, and driving to school or work, instead of going about your business in silence. Not only can this help to wake you up properly but it can also help boost your mood and stimulate your brain. Depending, of course, on what exactly you choose to listen to...
