40 Photos Of People Having A Worse Quarantine Than You
If you’re having a bad day, just remember, it could always be worse. In difficult times, I often tell myself this as well. But my favorite piece of advice on staying motivated comes from Scottish comedian Limmy. He once said, “If this has been the worst year of your life, that means next year will be even better. If it gets worse, then congratulations, this hasn’t been the worst year of your life.”
Served in true Scottish fashion, it’s a blunt but honest way to encourage yourself. You’re probably not going to see Limmy’s inspirational words on Pinterest boards any time soon though. Maybe it’s better to frame your situation against others. Yeah, sure, you had a bad day but was it as bad as smashing a brand new phone that wasn’t even taken out of its box? True story — we’ve got the pics to prove it.
Here’s our compilation of people who probably felt like they were having the worst day ever. It makes us realize that maybe we don’t have it so bad after all. But if you’re looking for motivational quotes after all, there’s some from Bored Panda here, here, and here to help you get by.

What do you think ?

The fact that people are being left without plumbing, missing locks, broken windows, etc., is ridiculous. How are these not considered essential services?
Melissa Nunya 6 years ago
Especially considering how many states are considering liquor stores and weed dispensary's essential.

Some of these have nothing to do with quarantine. Mashed potatoes turning out runny? Baby threw up? Overcooking oatmeal? ...Do these not happen unless there is a pandemic?

My shower stopped working 12 hours after the U.K. shutdown, and I've decided I'm going to live without it being fixed as I'm in a high risk group for Covid-19. I don't want to risk someone bringing it into my home. I guess I'm having baths for a couple of months!
