When the home becomes your only playground, simple things get really damn complicated. From your TV dying on the first day of stay-at-home quarantine to having the worst luck to walk around with a tooth knocked out because all non-essential business is closed, there are too many things that could cause the worst day ever. But hey, at least you can take some hilarious photos of your misfortunes.
Tune in for Bored Panda’s compilation of unlikely everyday struggles and funny accidents below to see that some people are having a bad day that's way worse than yours.

Went Into My Attic Looking For A Water Leak Coming Into My Living Room And It Appears That I'm Also In Quarantine With This Whatever Monstrosity Left This Behind. Its Soft To The Touch So I'm Assuming It's Still Around
I'd be off to a hotel faster than you could say, "fuck this noise."
Can’t Explain To My Cats The Gravity Of What They’ve Done
You're in quarantine with absolutely nothing to do. The cats changed that.
instead of rolling it tear into allotted usage and stack..all ready to use..

Easy fix - Do the unthinkable. fit the next roll so the loose end is facing the wall. so when the cats play with it, it just stays rolled. That, or keep your cats out of the bathroom, Personally, the first one is easier.
Get some glue, dab the last sheet and roll it back up. That should keep you busy for an hour.
ohhh, i'm so glad my cats don't play that game. they do insist on sitting on my computer while i try to work though c-at-home-...4bc59f.jpg 
Send them to da grocery. Maybe they can steal some toilet paper, as sly as cats are.
What, you have no old magazines or catalogs to use? Or tax codes? I’d use the tax codes first. Old catalogs can be fun to look at. Same with old magazines.
What's this with all these people still wanting to wipe their sensitive parts with it? Would you sit in the kitty litter with naked butt? Cats dig in that and don't wash their paws before touching your toilet paper!

Funniest one I've seen so far. How do you keep your toilet so shiny?
Use that cat to whipe you butt. Just make sure you're holding it the right side up...
May be gross, but I'd still use it. It's not like kitty peed on it.
No it's like touched it with the same paws they bury their poop with.

No, No, It's STILL USABLE... IT'S OKAY... DON'T KILL THE KITTIES BY STUFFING THAAAT T.P. DOWN THEIR LITTLE THROATS... YOU'LL JUST FEEL 💩Y AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE A HUGE VET BILL TO REVIVE THEM!! BESIDES, DO YOU EEEVEN KNOW HOW ANNOYING KITTY GHOSTS ARE?!?! WAAAY WORSE THAN LIVE CATS... ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO MORE FEEDING AAAND LITTER BOX CLEANING... BUT, GHOST KITTIES ARE NOOOT CUDDLY~ AND THEIR SCRATCHES ALMOST NEVER HEAL.

AND I'M DOWN TO 1/2 A ROLL OF T.P.~ SOON THAAAT ACT OF SHEER, UNPROVOKED TERRORISM WON'T EVEN BE POSSIBLE IN MY 🏡😵😭🙏🙄😂
NO, CATS! That's like tearing apart the Holy Grail for scrap metal!
My cat does not enjoy any toys, catnip, climbers, etc. But leave a roll of toilet paper unguarded, YIKES!
Do they have any idea as to the street value of that waste!?!
my kitten, Catawampus did that too. completely shredded it so I couldn't even use it to wipe up spills and whatnot. I've never had a cat do that before.
Thinking about this also made my brain go :' well, its called TOYlet paper for a reason.😂
HURRY! GO TO THE STORE AND BUY TOILET PAPER! THEY MIGHT BE OUT SOON!
Better go buy more toilet paper. HURRY THEY MIGHT RUN OUT AT THE STORES!!
PROFIT OFF OF THAT. SELL IT FOR LIKE 10 BUCKS, SAYING ITS FRESH AND NEW. BAM, MONEY!
It's salvageable. I saw a pic of someone whose kid had thrown their supply in a filled tub.
My youngest grandson was good for "accidentally" knocking it into the toilet if it was left on the counter between changes.

I'd still use it. It's not like they wiped THEIR butts on it.
Lol that's like burning money, tp became a currency at the advent of coronavirus epidemic
Welp, on the plus- side, he didn't shred it. Roll that paper back up on the roll and wipe thy hind quarters!
and this is why toilet paper goes wall side when you have pets.
Use the excess of time to wind it back on and train your cats not to do it again. In fact, you may still be inside doing that till years after this is over!
My 2 yr old Rottie/moose mix puppy stole a roll of TP from the bathroom. I went after him like he stole her Hope diamond!!
With the coronavirus outbreak in full swing, phrases like “lockdown,” “flattening the curve,” and “self-isolation” have entered our daily vocabulary. Since these terms are new to the general public, let's see what they really refer to.
"Lockdown" isn’t a typical term used by public health officials, but it represents an order to stay indoors. Lindsay Wiley, a health law professor at the Washington College of Law, explained that “lockdown could be anything from mandatory geographic quarantine, to non-mandatory recommendations to shelter in place that can be issued by health officials at the federal, state, or local level.”

That Online Session Didn't Go Well Then. Not Surprised At All, These Next Few Weeks Are Going To Be Hell For Teachers & Parents
Most of us are currently staying at home, while some are in "self-isolation." Self-isolation is mandatory for people positive with coronavirus who don’t have critical symptoms that’d require hospital intervention. It’s also a precautionary measure to avoid the spread of the virus.
You've probably heard of “flattening the curve”—a widespread mantra of many health officials and politicians. It refers to flattening the curve in the chart graph that staggers the rate of coronavirus cases. If the curve is flattened, medical facilities will be able to provide tests and treatment to anyone who needs them.

The fact that people are being left without plumbing, missing locks, broken windows, etc., is ridiculous. How are these not considered essential services?
Especially considering how many states are considering liquor stores and weed dispensary's essential.
In Greenland, i just heard, they are banning alcohol sale, to protect the children staying home w parents. Think of the scenarios of families staying put w dad calming his nerves w alcohol... we already have a surge of women running from abusive partners to shelters here.
and you think they're not?
Don't forget weed has medical uses. Whether you agree with it or not, many people find relief for complex conditions and chronic pain when the smoke weed. So, yes, a weed dispensary is essential.
I can understand weed (some is medicinal use), and liquor does help some folks to cope. But, here in the US, there is an uproar because some jurisdictions do not consider gun shops essential.
In many states, the liquor stores are owned by the state and are a major source of government income. Of course they would consider them "essential".
But liquor stores ARE an essential service!
Because you don’t need them to live lol
Plumbing electrical etc. are considered essential infrastructure as of 20 March, per White House, and per contractor professional journals. Just sayin'.
@Lucas Same debate here in Spain
Still being hotly debated in the UK! If you aren't building a hospital or are partway through a build where electrics/plumbing need completion for a customer then most of it can wait really. It's been pointed out that if people don't stop going out unless they are absolutely essential to keep people well or fed then the need to build new houses is going to be lessened as there will be a flood of empty houses going on the market from people dying. Prioritising the economy over health makes little sense - if too many people die the economy will tank anyway so might as well tank it and keep people well.
Not only that but if one compares the situation homeless people are in 'normally' (there can't be anything normal about being homeless) to temporarily being without plumbing, one sees it in a different light. In some places, homeless people in a temporary shelter at low-cost hotels are being evicted because of corona closures.
My friends at a home improvement store reporting mobs buying paint and then complaining on line about long waits.
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?
People just trying to have a little fun while they are stuck at home
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!

This is a great time for the people to learn not to take everything for granted.
Or to learn that they don't actually need some of the things they thought they needed.
our stove top broke down when the "lockdown" was going to happen (we dont have full lockdown here) and then had to drive to 4 shops to find one, (3 shops were closes, we didnt go in) spend more money and pick the only model they had. Next day all shops closed. Fel a bit sorry for ourselfs but these are way worse!!! (and also happy that we had the money to buy it and that we have one, ofcourse)
Yes it sucks, but as you say, in the greater scheme of things, sommuch to be gratefull for. Great attitude.
That miniature toilet paper hahaha!!! The snake, oh man we would be so damn terrified.
that poor guy with his teeth. he's the "winner"
There must be a way around leaving people with no functioning bathroom or kitchen!
is a great time to be useful !! and do it yo your own
During quarantine, our sink AND refrigerator stopped working. The sink has been replaced and the fridge is still working a little, but still.
This was the best please get more
The order to stay home didn't just come out of nowhere. Critical home improvement projects should have been able to be made functional or backup provisions made. (Hardware stores are considered critical where I live, so I'd just keep working on my project.) 🤷🏼♀️
Worse quarantine than you. This one is not funny. People realize how many small businesses have already closed permanently?!!! The small business loan that is coming is weeks too late. My own son didn't even pay himself from his business except to literally buy food and gas to pay a new marketing guy. Things were going so well they were going to start expanding soon. He's sacrificed so much in the past 5 years getting to this point. He shut down voluntarily and now it's likely he'll lose it. He put more money into it than he got out. It was going to be all worth it. Now what? He has to start over from scratch. F**k people and their "bad quarantines". Tragic things are happening all over the world.
I live in WA state and most of the plumbing and construction stuff (with the exception of having your kitchen remodel finished) would be considered an emergency and you would be able to have it repaired.
I now feel so lucky
These poor people
There were some horrible storms in the Atlanta area last night. No electricity for a few hours, no wifi till Friday. My problems seem small next to many of these.
Any Bored Panda folks having similar experiences right now? Let's talk about it:
Loo won't flush so having to use a bucket to flush it - far worse things that can go wrong though.
My washing basin needs fixing, so I'm using the kitchen sink. Not that extreme of a situation. I've been through worse in my life.
Absolutely! I'm glad that's the worst, for me, so far. :) It's an annoyance, but at least we have a sink/tub to do them in :)
