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.

Went Into My Attic Looking For A Water Leak Coming Into My Living Room And It Appears That I'm With Whatever Monstrosity Left This Behind. It's Soft To The Touch So I'm Assuming It's Still Around
Feed it mice and name it Jeff, that's what I did and Jeff is my favorite snake now.
Awwww that’s sweet. I love snakes. What kind of snake is Jeff, do you know?

Oh hell no!! I'd be sleeping in my shower tonight with my dog and cat, with duct tape all around the edges of the sliding glass door and over the drain and faucet!!
Yeah, especially the drain - because it can climb out of the drain!
Load More Replies...Be happy it’s taking care of the mice and/or rats in your home.. I feel like snakes are the “pit bulls” of the reptile world.. they are not out to “eat” you.. they want warmth, a shelter, and a bit of food every 3 to 4 weeks depending on the size of the meal.. That shed means that is a well fed well misted/watered snake. It looks very much like a ball python to me.. But I also don’t know where you’re from and if snakes are everywhere.
It’s ok, everyone has a bad day from time to time. Maybe you were late for work or school and everything just went downhill from there. It feels like one small mishap can set off a chain reaction to ruin the rest of your day.
It’s even worse if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and don’t even know why you feel down — you already know it’s going to be a tough one. Although many might think of this as just an expression, it’s a real phenomenon and scientists believe it has a detrimental effect on our well-being.
Do Not Order Your Toilet Paper From The Wish App
omg this floored me :-D all the people panic buying toilet paper.... panic buying in Dutch is "to hamster" :-D :-D yes, there are many many many jokes but this is new :-D
Load More Replies...How do you expect them to wipe their butts, if they can't even get inside the building. :-D
Load More Replies...A study was completed by Pennsylvania State University looking at how these feelings in the morning impact our performance for the rest of the day. Their results were published in a paper aptly titled Waking Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed: The Effects of Stress Anticipation on Working Memory in Daily Life.
The two-week study involved 240 adults completing reports on their emotional well-being at different times throughout the day. These reports (known as ecological momentary assessments) aimed to capture how an individual was feeling in the moment, especially in regards to stress. The reports were to be completed at random times throughout the day. The only exceptions were the morning and end-of-day ones which also asked participants if they were anticipating being stressed ahead of time.
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..
Load More Replies...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
These Guys Managed To Get Into A Crash On An Empty Street Next To A Closed Gas Station
And quite possibly a degree of drugs and/or alcohol...
Load More Replies...That's what happens when you assume the road will be COMPLETELY empty, and drive accordingly.
After the participants logged their states, they were asked to complete a small ‘working memory’ test. An example of this could be trying to recount numbers that flashed on a screen briefly. The results from their study highlighted what anticipating stress in the morning does to people.
“Waking up on the wrong side of the bed” (or being ready to feel stressed) appeared to have a knock-on effect on participants’ working memory tests throughout the day. Although being stressed normally had an effect on their test performance, reporting negative feelings from the start of the day influenced their behaviors far more than anything else. So, science has confirmed that having a bad day isn’t completely the universe throwing you a curveball.
That Online Session Didn't Go Well Then. Not Surprised At All, These Next Few Weeks Are Going To Be Hell For Teachers & Parents
...until you, yourself are in that exact sitch!
Load More Replies...Actually..she knows children really well. If me and my siblings had done this to my mother, there would have been holy hell to pay once the witnesses were gone. Mom needs to take the time to set up ground rules and explain to them the seriousness of what her job is. If they can't understand that, then they can be more bored when mom starts taking away TV, video games, toys and other privileges. In order for them to understand the seriousness of the situation..their mother needs to sit down and lay it out for them. Otherwise, mom may find herself out of a job. No job, no house, no food, no toys. Plain and simple. One way to make them behave..make them earn the privileges. Assign time to each chore, task or assignment. If they don't do it..they get no time for TV, video games or other fun. If they behave and get their stuff done..fun time for everyone. If these kids did this at school, they'd be looking at detention or a trip to the principals office.

My husband’s birthday was this past Sunday, March 23rd, and even though I did everything I could think of to make it as enjoyable as possible for him, he still moped and pouted all day. I suspect he was the one who wrote this. (BTW, he turned 57.)

Staying motivated can be tricky, but there’s always a way to get through. According to Bo Muchoki, a motivational speaker, being optimistic is tantamount to getting through difficult times. He said, “You can’t control the painful situations that life puts in your path. All that you can control is your mental response to the painful situations that you find yourself in.”

My Husband Has Been Home 24/7 For A Whole Three Days And My Dog Is A Full On Traitorous Bastard. It’s Like I Don’t Exist. This Is Crap
:( Definitely sucks. But be glad you have him. I just lost my sweet best friend Chaz to cancer last Friday. I miss him so much. FAITHSPLAC...d0fbc1.jpg
I am truly sorry. Such pain it is to lose one of these wonderful creatures. When you can, get another dog to sop up some of that love you have. And tell him all about Chaz.
Load More Replies...That is our dog to a "T". All week I feed him, take care of his needs, make sure he is clean (which he enjoys), make his doc appointments, pick up his flea and tic meds and administer them (which he also enjoys as they come in a tasty nugget), allow him a taste of what I'm having for lunch and every other damned thing in his well-loved life. My husband comes home for the weekend and Saturday morning, BAM. He is attached to hubby's ankles like velcro. I say something to him and I get that look with the slightly arched on eyebrow that says " Oh yes? Have we met?". I won't even go into the little traitor's behaviour on vacations. ARRRRRRRRRRGH!

“Your mental response to the tough situations that you find yourself in is huge,” he continued. “Whether you choose a negative mentality or a positive mindset to interpret your pain determines how well you fare in life.”
“The only difference between those who crumble into sadness, helplessness, depression, hopelessness, and defeat in tough times and those who rise above their pain is a positive mindset.”

The Dental School I Was About To Visit Has Been Shut Down For The Next Month. Wish Me Luck
His situation is already bad enough, but what would happen if someone gets a heavy or excruciating toothache and there is no dentist available?
My friend slipped on the ice outside and broke her tooth just after all the non-essential businesses shut down here. She had to call around to every dentist in the city to find out which was was taking emergency appointments. It was a long and frustrating process.
Load More Replies...Same. Had a root canal postponed. I traded root canal anxiety for anxiety about not getting a root canal.

My mom was visiting Taiwan with me to visit our family and she broke one of her teeth. All of the dentists refused to see her until she had been quarantined for at least two weeks. Then we went back to the US and people there refused to treat her because she just came from Taiwan. Luckily, we found someone but she had to deal with super expensive healthcare right after she and my dad got huge pay cuts.
OH 💩~ And I WAS looking into THAT A MONTH & A HALF AGO... THANK GOD MY MEMORY ISN'T WORKING VERY WELL!
So My Fridge Doors Just Fell Off
Unit is pushed in too far so that the door hits that pantry cabinet when opened. It probably put too much stress on the hinge pin and broke it.
Load More Replies...get a screwdriver and put it back on and dont weight it down next time with all the things it was there...
Essential. My plumber came. I stepped back and pointed to the kitchen, disinfected everything afterwards
Mine did that whilst I was opening it. Managed to hold it up so the freezer door stayed on. Then did some nifty moves to reach tools to re attach it (whilst still holding it up) Only the top hinge unscrewed so I was luckier than this person (the top door holds the hinge for the bottom door)
Depending on the damage, you might be able to order the parts and repair it. I replaced a fridge seal by mail order

As A Single Man Who Has Eaten Out Pretty Much Every Day Since I Was 19, This Whole "Fend For Yourself " Plan Is Utter Crap
You see this? This is instant oatmeal and I messed it up. There is no hope for me. Stay healthy, folks.
Every human on earth should learn how to cook before they leave home (within their physical/learning capabilities).
How on earth do you eat out every day! Who can't make oatmeal? I have so many questions as I'd genuinely never considered that people lived like this!
I have no sympathy for grown a*s persons who can't cook for themselves.
Just think about how much money you will save by not eating out everyday
Learn to cook and chances are you won't stay single. Seriously, guys, noothing is more untattractive than a man-child who needs staff or a mummy to cook for him. Learn the basics!
Cooking for yourself is an essencial skill. It's only your fault that you can't even make instant outmeal.
You murdered it XD but hang in there it'll get easier, and it's a handy skill to hone ^-^

I Didn’t Partake In The Toilet Paper Panic. Maybe I Should Have?
I'll let you in on a secret. Water is cheaper, cleaner, more hygienic and better for the environment. Win win win win situation.
I’ll let you in on another secret: they’re still manufacturing toilet paper. They’re just a bit overwhelmed trying to meet the massive—-and totally unnecessary—extra demand. But rest assured, there WILL be more toilet paper coming.
Load More Replies...Absolutely. "Perhaps I should have" is the exact attitude to avoid since it's adding to the hoarding and panic buying. To put it more basically, two wrongs don't make a right.
Load More Replies...1. Buy and install a bidet. 2. Buy baby wipes. If they're good enough for babies, they're good enough for everyone else. 3. Think back to before toilet paper was invented. People used leaves. They also used their left hand for #2. Maybe try the leaves first.
This is why left handed people were demonized back during the middle ages. It was a huge insult to shake with your left hand.

I like my Samsung S6 with a heavy Otter box. I've had my phone for almost 4 years. Dropped it, had my kid drop it multiple times, listen to music in the shower. Has never failed me. Bought the phone on EBay for $150 And the Otter box for $30.

Don’t try to open the box while walking out of the store and/or to your car. Concrete (sidewalks) and asphalt (parking lots) are like magnets for fragile electronics.

Another way is to boil water and pour it in, wait 1 min roughly then try flushing agn (worked when my kid did an enormous one!)
Welcome to "Crack the Ceramic!" It's a new quarantine game show where you WIN nothing, but DO get the opportunity to spend a couple hours mopping up all the water from the destroyed pot!
Load More Replies...take out the plunger. Wrap your toilet bowl tightly with seran wrap/cling film. Push it in. It will bounce back and presto. declogged. check you tube for a how to
From the look of it that's actually a sink plunger and not a toilet plunger anyway. Just based on the size of it- I could be wrong. So many people use drain plungers as toilet plungers though and they're not nearly as effective.
Pail of water dumped from 3'+ above the toilet will apply enough force to clear clog. The power of water!
Fill an empty bottle, shove it upside down in the toilet and squeeze fast, worked a treat on a grown a*s man butt demon!

You do realize, don’t you, that you can still go to the store and get a replacement plunger. Just practice your social distancing and refrain from touching anything you don’t have to—-in fact wearing disposable gloves isn’t a bad idea.

Dental Implant Just Fell Out And When I Called The Dentist I Was Told I Was Their “Last Call” As They Had Closed Until April 5th As Of 5 Minutes Ago
Most of them are closed. Working in everyone's mouth is a good way to give/get the virus.
Load More Replies...I don't know what kind of implant that is but the two I had done a few months ago will be the only thing left after I die and am cremated (hopefully in 30+ years).
Owzhit, they can fall out like that? I'm looking to have a couple of those bad boys put in..
Dental hygienist here...that’s not the actual implant, that’s the implant abutment and crown that goes on the implant post that is in the bone. That looks like a molar and hopefully it can be screwed back into the implant post. It may need an new abutment, though. Either way, the implant itself is probably good.
Load More Replies...good thing its April 5th. bad thing they're probably gonna keep postponing the open date
Kinda looks like someone unscrewed it a lot, maybe to show people. Just my guess
Nothing Like Some Fresh Ground Coffee To Wake You Up In The Morning
Stay Inside They Said
This happened to me a month ago. Then the inside one did it last week.
My Sink Exploded
My 21st Birthday On Saint Patrick's Day, All Bars In My State Closed The Day Before
Keep socially isolating and you WILL be able to go to a bar when they reopen...
At least your 21st birthday didn’t become nullified. The year I turned 21 was the year Louisiana (stupidly) set the min drinking age back to 18. The change didn’t last long but it ruined my birthday.
Quarantine Day 3: This Is Fine. We Are Fine
You're not a real Mom until your baby has thrown up on you, I always say
At least it was at home. Seems like every time me son did that, we were in public somewhere.
Load More Replies...On the upside, you are rushing anywhere so you have time to clean this up.
Guys, It Has Been An Honor
I Bought 1 Kg Of Local Honey To Last Me Through The Quarantine Period
I know, right? Some people have all the luck. All my honey is in plastic containers so I can't make honey glass. Unless.... hey! I can put it in a glass container and then I can have some too!
Load More Replies...NOOOOOOOOOO ! I spilled a jar of honey in one of my cupboards like 2 years ago. By the time I found the mess, there was no way that honey was coming off. It's still there.
They need to open the windows and invite some bees in to recycle it

My Product Is Finally Retail Ready Today, Just In Time For An Indefinite Nation-Wide Retail Shutdown
The site leads me to believe this has been on sale for a while now, before this whole lockdown thing started. Also, for those racists thinking this has anything to do with China... Huan is a hound from Middle-Earth. You know, Tolkien's place?
what are you Tolkien about? ( sorry, force of Hobbit...)
Load More Replies...Is it really racist to hear/see a similarity in pronouncation? Come on, this is just oversensitive complainery for the sake of complainery itself. Sometimes, to see it, you must be willing to see it.
Because Huan and Wuhan are the same, right? You're quite racist here...

Found Out My Toaster Can Work As A Timer, Even When Not Plugged In. Now I Have To Wait Another 20 Minutes To Find Out How Good These Fish Sticks Are
They put the fish sticks in with it unplugged. When the timer went off the sticks ere still cold.

Somehow I thought it was a finger before I read the title... I don't know what's wrong with me.
Day 5 Of Quarantine
What on earth was she doing to break something so thick? I've got terrible images now!
Thank god her boyfriend wasn't about - could have been him! :-D
Load More Replies...Good old superglue lol! But wait til it's set before using it again! Can you IMAGINE that trip to the hospital if you used it before it set 🤔
Do you not understand what self-isolation means?
Load More Replies...I’m Actually Out Of Toilet Paper So Last Night And Tonight I’ve Had To Come Poop At My Local Target Because They’re Still Sold Out
Yeah, we Americans don't know how to do that. Like, do you get undressed and take a shower every time you poo? Do you have a special washcloth or something? Seriously, I want to know!
Load More Replies...OMG, take an old tee shirt. Cut it into squares. Use that, damp, and place into a plastic box/container/bin (use a mesh laundry bag to line if you have one). Chuck in the washing machine and wash with your hot wash. Repeat until the quarantine is over.
Would baby wipes accomplish the same thing, or are they all sold out too?
I Just. I Just Want The Basic Things To Still Work
They never worked in the past and you expect them the work in a lock down situation?
Nope. Ring pulls come off on your finger, corkscrews snap, jar's lids refuse to open, toaster blows up, and on and on and on. Life is good.
Tried Spraying Lysol On My Chair To Disinfect It. Now It Looks Like I Went Too Far With My 'Private Time'
I've got a hand towel on mine so I don't sweat it up in the summertime.
Day 1 Of UK Lockdown And Apparently, Repairing The Boss' Car Is 'Essential Work' Who Knew?
The Potato Pudding You See Was Supposed To Be Mashed Potatoes
Ahh yes wallpaper paste. This is how all my mashed potatoes looked when I first got married. Bless my husband he never complained and ate them every time :) I've got them figured out now
That is an odd meal, but needs must in these strange times. However, mash your potatoes with a potato masher or a fork. Mix in a little milk and butter as you go, until you get the consistency you want. As said below, don't use a mixer, blender, or food processor.
Ever hear about those children in Africa?? Yeah... eat up butter cup!
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.
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...During quarantine, our sink AND refrigerator stopped working. The sink has been replaced and the fridge is still working a little, but still.
