A bad day that’s coming your way doesn’t care that it’s Halloween. Unfortunately, even when you’re in the spookiest of spirits, food poisoning or costume mishaps aren’t doing a rain check on you. Quite the opposite, actually — they’re going to hit you harder, making Halloween haunted in a completely new sense.
Our Bored Panda team gathered many such instances below, in the spirit of the spookiest day of the year. It’s all just a scroll away!
But be warned — bad luck might be contagious. *Insert evil witch giggle here.*

Threw A Halloween Party On Monday. This Is The Only Picture Of Me, Because 20 Minutes Before Everyone Showed, I Got Hit With The Worst Food Poisoning I’ve Ever Had In My Life
I spent the night huddled in bed with a plastic bowl to vomit in while 30-40 of my friends continued partying outside my door. Couldn’t even use my bathroom, because there was always a line of drunk people waiting to use it. I was looking forward to it all month.

Neighbor Wants Halloween Decorations Down Nov 1st
Roxy222uk 1 month ago
So easy to resolve this: turn up at their house with a bottle of nice spirits (whisky, gin, whatever) and say that you know it’s their garden and their choice, but you wondered if they’d consider taking the mannequins down as some people were finding them a bit unsettling. We’ve politicians for that already! And compliment them on how realistic they are. It seems to me that people don’t want to achieve anything other than be angry, and it’s so sad and unnecessary.

My Neighbors Have Put Up Their Christmas Lights, Just In Time For Halloween
I literally took this picture right before I posted this. This couple lives right across the street from me.
This isn't all of the lights, BTW. Last Halloween they were sitting on a bench, with all the Christmas lights passing out candy to trick or treaters...and had them on every night until the end of the year.
If I had the money, I'd get a inflatable Santa and a Turkey. Put the turkey sitting on Santa holding a sign that says "Wait your turn, Old man".

My Stove Decided To Go As An Insurance Claim For Halloween
I had a grease fire when I was making potato chips and the oil overflowed. The fire was under the burner top and most of it was unreachable. The top would not come off, the firefighters that came couldn't even get it to budge. Luckily the fire never spread and the damage is contained to the stove itself.

Manager Ignoring My Time Off Request That Was Approved
Over two months ago I requested time off for Halloween and it was approved the next day. Then earlier today next week’s schedule came out and I’m scheduled on Halloween. I wouldn’t be as mad if I didn’t make plan’s for Halloween but I did. Should I be as frustrated as I am and how should I approach this?

Great Start To My Halloween (Yes Those Are Worms)

Must be Hershey. They're attracted to vomit smell. Yes I'm American and I agree with you guys. I don't like chocolate probably because I've never had proper chocolate. I loathe chocolate ice cream. I'm a Vanilla made with real vanilla beans kind of guy. Edit: I do make a very good peanut butter fudge. The secret ingredient is THC.

Somebody Stole My Pumpkin From My Front Porch

My grocery order had a half bottle of whiskey with the tag still on it. That day I learned those tags could be ignored by simply opening the lid and pouring... It was also not long after that someone in Asda realised the same thing and had a really good drink before security caught him out. Spirits are now properly security tagged.

Thought It Was My Lucky Day
4:30 am this morning heading out to work. Winds were blowing hard and last night was Halloween. It was dark and it was running to work late. Saw what appeared to be a dollar bill in the leaves. I grabbed it and picked it up. Didn’t feel right when I picked it up, but I took a quick glance and it looked like $100 bill. I put it in my pocket till I got to work.

Snip off one excess spring. Place against negative terminal in centre slot. Wedge battery in. Add tin foil to fill gaps, if necessary. This is such a non-problem. Do people really lack problem solving skills to this extent?

I'm currently having a Halloween crisis - I moved to a new city for uni, so I don't have all my stuff here. Didn't bring many costume bits, but my mom did send me my Team Rocket hat. So, I found some stuff to go with the hat, and threw the hat in my bag for later. Or so I thought. Get to class, take off my headphones, and there's no hat. So my costume looks like what I wear daily. The centerpiece is what I left at home.

In my experience Halloween is more common here than when I was growing up in the 90s. I don't hink it is necessary, but kids are happy with it.
