Having a terrible day at work can be frustrating, overwhelming, and even demoralizing. Whether it's a challenging project, an annoying colleague, or just a series of misfortunes, sadly, there are plenty of reasons you might feel like you're a failure.
But as Sigrid and Bring Me The Horizon sang, "It's just a bad day / Not a bad life." And one of the ways to recover is by venting online. So we at Bored Panda decided to remind ourselves that the universe hasn't conspired against any of us. From time to time, everyone runs into some (undeserved) adversity.
Continue scrolling to see all the messed-up nonsense people have had to deal with on the job! And when you're done, see more fails previously posted here.

I Work As A Valet And Make $3.85/Hour And I Received This As A Tip
Getting dealt a bad hand at work isn't the end of the world. Especially for content employees. According to Annie McKee, Ph.D., who is a best-selling business book author and advisor to top global leaders, from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to government officials, those who are engaged with their jobs and colleagues work harder — and smarter. But that's quite rare.
"Far too many couldn’t care less about what’s happening around them," McKee wrote in Harvard Business Review. "For them, Wednesday is 'hump day' and they’re just working to get to Friday. And then there’s the other end of the bell curve — that nearly one out of five employees is actively disengaged. These people are sabotaging projects, backstabbing colleagues, and generally wreaking havoc in their workplaces."

Got Fired For “Telling The Boss How To Do His Job” When All I Did Was Say “We Can’t Obstruct A Fire Escape”
"Disengaged, unhappy people aren’t any fun to work with, don’t add much value, and impact our organizations (and our economy) in profoundly negative ways," McKee explained.
"It’s even worse when leaders are disengaged because they infect others with their attitude. Their emotions and mindset impact others’ moods and performance tremendously. After all, how we feel is linked to what and how we think. In other words, thought influences emotion, and emotion influences thinking."

Consequences Of Working In A -10°C Lab Where I Have To Wash My Hands 40 Times A Day
I feel so sorry for you. I guess a good hand cream won't quite do the job?
McKee thinks it’s time to finally blow up the myth that feelings don’t matter at work.
"Science is on our side: there are clear neurological links between feelings, thoughts, and actions. When we are in the grip of strong negative emotions, it’s like having blinders on," she said. "We focus mostly — sometimes only — on the source of the pain. We don’t process information as well, think creatively, or make good decisions. Frustration, anger, and stress cause an important part of us to shut down —the thinking, engaged part. Disengagement is a natural neurological and psychological response to pervasive negative emotions."

However, it’s not just negative emotions we need to watch out for. "Extremely strong positive emotions have the same effect," McKee said.
"Some studies show that too much happiness can make you less creative and prone to engage in riskier behaviors (think about how we act like fools when we fall in love!). On the work front: I’ve seen groups of people worked up into a frenzy at sales conferences and corporate pep rallies. Little learning or innovation comes out of these meetings. Throw in a lot of alcohol and you’ve got a whole host of other problems."
So it sounds like having your suspenders stuck in your chair every once in a while can be actually quite beneficial.

Over 2,000 Pounds Of Fresh Pork Being Rejected By The Walmart Distribution Center Because The Sell By Dates Occur When Their Stores Are Closed For Thanksgiving
This product will still be safe to eat for the next 15 days but they won't even attempt to sell it. This will end up in a dumpster today.
Since nobody can prepare for the unexpected (just the way they can react to it), it isn't surprising that workers worry about other things.
"One could argue that today's employees are as equally stressed as their predecessors, but for different reasons," said Jodi Chavez, president of Atlanta-based Randstad Professionals, a segment of Randstad US, which provides finance, accounting, HR, sales, marketing, legal staffing and recruitment services. "They fear having their jobs outsourced to another country, have anxiety about how best to work alongside new technologies such as automation and robotics, have increased financial pressures with rising student loan debt and late retirement, and feel pressure to be 'on' and answering e-mails 24/7."

I Collect Carts At Walmart. Please Stop Being Lazy And Return Your Cart To Where It Belongs
It kills me--lazy bastards push the cart all over a huge store, but they can't walk ten steps to the cart corral.
It's especially lovely when they dump them in the disabled space (or the van loading area next to same).

They still will if the carts are returned to the various corrals in the car park.

At most places in Germany one has to put in a token or a Euro coin to use them.
When I see this… I legit wonder where all the cart returns are at. I mean… I see a few… WAY over yonder. Walmart needs more cart returns!
Additional I wonder if this is an American thing (car-society and all)... as in Europe you have to use coins (real money but also merchandise give-aways in the same size) to unlock a cart. This normally animates 99.5% of the people to return it also proper - and it prevents most teens to "steal" carts.
Load More Replies...
Not returned to the corrals, but at least they seem to be put to the side. I'll give some credit. An attempt was made. It's usually worse. People leave them right beside where they parked their car, blocking access.
And the carts sometimes will bang up cars... I hate when people do this.
It was the same at a supermarket close to us. Then they replaced the carts to new ones that can be used only if you put in a HUF 100 (~USD 0.25) coin. Now everyone takes the carts back to the corral. Sometime homeless people ask for the carts and they push them back to get the coin. I'm OK with it.
Wait a minute...I must be missing something. So, customers are too lazy to put the carts where they belong...but isn't it the job of the cart collector to get them.
No, it isn't. The cart collector collects them from their corral, not random multiple places in the parking lot where they can cause harm or even death due to a car accident.

Why has nobody invented a cart corral that gives out a ticket when you return a cart, that you need to leave the carpark? It's so obvious it breaks my brain that it isn't a thing already.
Had the parking space I was aiming for blocked at a supermarket this morning because someone had left a trolley (British English for "cart") in the space - two parking spaces over from the trolley park. Literally would have taken someone 30 seconds to put away.
In many countries people put a coin in the cart and they get it back when they return the cart to where it belongs. The US should get this too.
this happened when it was -40+ windchill outside, slushy snow everywhere, and there were so many (20+ in a small area) i was so mad but already running late and didn’t have a jacket i usually try to put away some near me though.
I remember reading once that when Ikea began opening stores in North America, they could not understand why someone needed to collect carts, or even bring them in: In other parts of the world, people not only put the carts where they belong, but people take them from there to use. Just logical.
What people don't realize is that the company is not responsible for your car damage if it hits your car. So these are just inconsiderate and the same for the mart cart idiots who leave the carts outside in the rain or snow. You walked in to get the cart then you can walk out without the damn thing too.
I had some schmo leave their cart behind my car. They were like, "here, put this away for me."
This is rude in some cases, and justified in others. I find a corral, even if I have to walk, because I don't know what kind of day the cart-pushes had.
I always try to park near a corral even if it's a little further from the store...but I learned the hard way not to park right next to the corral
Load More Replies... Before we got new coins here in Sweden, we used to have "locks" on the carts, where you put in a coin, and could release the cart from the other carts. Once you were done, you put the "lock" back and got your coin back. Now the coins no longer fit these locks, but most people still manage to put back the carts.
Big deal. Do something about the @$$holes that deliberately ram carts into bicycle racks, dumping them there and damaging bikes in the process. I once arrived at a rack as some pinhead did it, then shoved it back toward his car and into his paint job, then he whines and talks tough. Did that 200 pound pile of lard REALLY want to take on a 170 pound person who can run 5 minute miles?
this is why all stores should do what aldi does, where you put a quarter into the cart to unlock it from the rest of the line. you get your quarter back when you put the cart back where it belongs.
What really fries my burger is when they leave their cart right next to the cart corral but not IN it.
I park as close to the cart return as possible. Even if it means I have farther to walk to/from the store
I've even grabbed a stray one near my car to take also, when I took my cart to corral.
And quit leaving your carts in the handicapped access aisles AND the striped lanes between parking strips that are supposed to keep wheelchair users out of traffic.
I return my cart but… Don’t you get paid by the HOUR? Wouldn’t you prefer something as simple as collecting carts to take LONGER? …. 🤔
I once saw a woman at Kroger load her work van, put the cart next to her van, WALK ACROSS THE AISLE TO THROW SOMETHING AWAY IN THE CAN IN THE CART CORRAL, then go back to her vehicle and drive away.
There are two types of people. Those who return their carts to the cart corral and a******s.
I used to love collecting the trolleys (as we call them here) in summer. In winter it was like some winter Olympics stuff, get it done fast while trying not to end up on your a**e. Most places in the UK have trolleys you need to put a coin in to make people take them back anyway.
Have some sympathy for the disabled. Sometimes these carts block our spaces.
I've noticed most often the people who leave carts wherever they please are usually the ones who could most use the exercise.
Also please return, park and plug in the electric carts for the disabled. Thank you.
My view is that you are being paid for your time whether inside or outside the store. Often you can see some baggers pleading at you with their eyes to let them go out with your bags to get some fresh air, sunshine, and a change of scene. I don't like it when they leave their carts in front of the space where they parked so that you can't park there, etc., but otherwise, some people have taken child/children out of the cart and belted them into their seats and are reluctant to leave the car/children to do the walk to the cart line. I do believe we can all take a cart IN from the cart thingy when we enter the store (if we pass one).
This sht really gets under my skin. How useless of a person are you when you cannot push something, on its wheels, a few feet to park it?
Be glad customers don’t return their trolleys. They are saving your job.
I'm physically disabled. If I can return my cart to the store/cart corral every time I shop, so can you!! 🤨
Some of us who are disabled sometimes can't get that cart back. Pushing a cart in a store usually involves leaning on the cart for support. Before I became disabled I did push my cart back.
I drive people crazy with the fact that if it is farther to walk to the cart corral and to the front door that I will walk it back to the store.
I've been hit twice by lightning, once not a cloud in the sky around us and another the sun was shining outside the window behind me,, and I was on a cordless phone, and I still would take a cart back where it belongs.
Having worked in retail, I can appreciate this - the store I worked at would find our carts across the street, inside OTHER stores, spread all over the parking lot (we didn't have a cart corral), and even in the culvert between our parking lot and the street!
This is infuriating! I don't work at Walmart, but I see people doing this, and it pisses me off. I don't know why it's so hard to walk 5 or 10 feet to put your damn cart in the cart return. People are so lazy!
That ALWAYS bugged me too. They'll leave them ALL over the parking lot. And dollars to doughnuts, they'd be the FIRST ones to complain if a cart hits their car!!
I agree some people are lazy, but be careful who you judge. Some people with severe pain issues like myself have a hard time doing it and I don't walk all over the store.
I once challenged a lady for leaving her cart in an awkward place. Her response? "Well, I don't want to put the cart collectors out of a job."
Then what will need the cart people for? Keep complaining they'll have a robot do your job.
I hate that!! Especially when they just have to take a couple of steps!! It's not difficult! My grandson is learning you put them back
I do the same thing everywhere I shop, you should see the expression on people's faces as if I'm doing something wrong.
I am Forever Collecting and Returning Carts to where they Belong or Back into the Store itself!!Gives the Door Greeter Something to Do by Wiping down the Carts!!
Maybe there needs to be more cart return sites? This obviously isn't just 1 or 2 people being lazy. . .!
Don’t understand why they don’t put the same system in place that they have in most European countries. In order to get the cart, you have to deposit 1 Euro. When you return the cart, you get your money back. Works like a charm and no one ever leaves carts in the parking lot!
I spent a few months fabricating and installing cart returns about 20ish years ago. It still pisses me off to see carts randomly left wherever by lazy a******s.
Sure. Could you chase the strange people lurking around the lots away? People are getting mugged for their groceries out there.
I do all the time but I know I'm one of few... I should be one of many
Same ppl pay big $$ for diet foods, gyms, etc but can't walk 10 damn steps
All carts should be tethered together and coin-released. Return it to the tether to get your money back. If you insist on being a jackass it'll cost you.
Funny how they freely push that cart for hours all thru the store but can't take a couple more steps to put the cart in the corral...LAZY, LAZY, LAZY!!!
More trolleys are left somewhere else than put back by the shoppers. Too hard to line them up?Aw
i agree but IF they returned them all to the correct place, would you be out of work???
VERY reasonable request! I cannot understand why so many people think it is someone else's job. What if that were YOUR job, arsehole?
Irks the hell out of me too and I am a customer. And those people will be the first ones to complain if an errant cart hits their car. Flipping morons.
One day the store will wake up & have coin operated trolley's. coin-troll...71a35a.jpg 
That is why I try parking next to a cart corral plus it makes it easier to find car back
Can't understand why they don't take a cart with them IN to the store. They're going to use it
I take a cart from the lot and leave it there when I’m done. My basket karma is good. Also am handicapped and we use them instead of a cane.
In Germany you put a coin into the slot and get it back once the cart is joined together with the others. Simple.
Why do people walk past empty baskets in the parking lot, go into the store get another one and leave it in the parking lot... SMH
Used to collect carts for both kroger and walmart back in the day. I always make a point to grab not just my cart but these extra carts to take to the stalls. Also it’s super helpful to push all the carts all the way into the stalls to make as much room as possible for them.
The only question I ask in job interviews is “What do you do with the shopping carriage when you’re finished shopping?”
I agree. Also when putting the carts in the cart coral just don't shoved the carts into the cart coral, put them in properly. .
And it's even nice weather! No excuse. I mean if it were 25 below zero in a Wiscobsin January that's one thing but still pretty rotten!
I actually watched a woman aggressively send her cart flying - right into my car instead of walking the few feet to the corral. So, I keyed her car as I walked past while she watched. She stopped screaming when she saw me unlock my car and scurried into the safety of her car.
Is that a bus stop? My local walmart - huge parking lot - store set way back from road (common I reckon). Parking lot has cart returns, used by most. But way across the parking lot by bus stop, no cart return. So people going to the bus push the card all the way across to the edge of the parking lot and then leave cart there.
I hate lazy people. Nearly every time I go to a store I move carts out of the handicap spaces; how are people such inconsiderate jerks? It's bad enough people who need those spots have to deal with the disabilities they have and then they have the frustration of lazy garbage when they're just trying to shop. It's one little thing to help make things a little easier and they can't even have that half the time becauseof an àsshole dumping a cart there. Sorry guys, this just really pisses me off alot.
Not saying this makes it right, but our Walmart's doesn't always have them in good locations. Like one you have to go up and around a very long island depending where you are parked or often times they are so full up and already out into the parking lot, there is no room. I just bring them back into the store in that case, but I can see why some don't, especially if they arthritis or such. The walk through the store might have already wore them out.
That's just an excuse. I suffer with fatigue, pain and am disabled. You manage, you just have to. I don't expect anyone else to be put out just because I've got problems. People then have to drive home, unload... so you think they can't put a shopping trolley back? No.

I generally take a minute or 2 tidying up the cart returns. 2 sizes of carts people can't seem to sort correctly. And just getting the cart over the threshold (rather than pushed inside and nested) seems to be close enough for many people.
Disabled bays are usually nearest to the shop. There is the least distance to walk to return a cart back to the main shop, if not a cart corral. There are no good excuses. If you can walk around a store and then be fit enough to drive home you can return a cart. If you can't manage to return cart, then I doubt the fitness to drive. I also speak from personal experience. If in too much pain or fatigue then driving ability is seriously compromised.

Or even better, find the car with a MAGA sticker and leave all the stray carts around it so the guy driving it has to put them back.
After I’ve shopped for my groceries, then have to ring up my groceries myself, then I bag them myself, then, assuming I did it all correctly, I’m shocked at the price of groceries how everything keeps going up. Then I push my bagged groceries towards the exit only to be stopped by someone demanding my receipt because it is their assumption we are all thieves. After my interrogation and it is determined I have paid for every item, I then have to push my rickety cart over the bumpy parking lot to unload my groceries myself. I’m sorry, I’ve done enough of your jobs today. I just paid a lot of money so I know you can afford to hire someone to get your own damn cart. I make sure it’s not in any danger of blowing into anyone’s car. And if the cart corral is close, I will push it over. But if it’s just more than a few feet forget it. I really feel sorry for mothers that are trying to deal with a couple of cranky toddlers while trying to do all the customer is expected to do.
To be fair now us lazy people have to not only walk all over the store but also do it with zero help and have to ring our own groceries out. Also with no help... at least you all get paid to bring carts back.
Your job is to collect them. If you don't like your job find another
You're literally asking people to do the very thing that you get payed for...... Are you sure you understand the concept of "how to keep a job" 🤔
This is all BS. When I picked up buggies it was like an unpaid break to be out in the sunshine and away from the AH customers inside. Spending half an hour picking up buggies was the best part of my job. I would always rather have I'm scattered through the parking lot than all corralled in one spot that only takes 5 minutes to pick up.
So, you have a baby with you. You finish shopping, load everything into your car, including the baby. Now you're supposed to walk away from your car to return a cart across the parking lot?
You got the cart, then all the shopping, packed it and paid for it with the baby. It's not that hard. I used to pop the baby in the car, unload, pop the baby back in the cart and go across the lot to return the cart, and then walk back with the baby - and a toddler. Parents juggle. Disabled parents (like me) juggle.

Depends on how many and where the cart corrals are located. One large supermarket with an expansive parking lot near me has NONE. I kind of take pleasure in abandoning my cart there, although I try to leave it with other carts or at least out of the flow of traffic.
I used to take my cart back to the shop entrance but now park it at the side of the building (except on rainy days). My son worked in a supermarket and having to go out and round up shopping carts was like having a break for him and his co-workers.
Nope. They are employed to collect them from the trolley bays. This makes their job harder and prevents other tasks being done.

In difficult times, you need to find an internal reserve of energy and hope to help you make your way through. In other words, you need to tap into your resilience.
"Like so many other human traits, resilience can be woven into the fabric of one’s being (nature) and/or it can be learned (nurture)," career and business coach Marjie Terry said.
"One’s natural disposition may lead them to always look on the bright side or to look for the silver lining. For others, with an accumulation of life experience, they develop a resilience perspective and realize that, as the old saying goes, what doesn’t break you makes you stronger. They develop an ability to recognize that it’s important to keep going even when life hands you challenge after challenge—they develop perspective."
Sometimes, there really isn't much else we can do but endure. And laugh!

Burglarize a Pizza Hut to steal lots of dough? Seriously, though, what the neck is there to steal? Is that literally the only store in town?!
I’m Never Pooping At My Job Ever Again
My Work Only Has Small Gloves
I HATE THAT! I'm an extra large and I can barely squeeze into a large.

This Just Happened

Got This Wonderful Error 10 Minutes Before Starting My New Remote Job
I Work At A School. On My Lunch, A Parent Told Me That A Pine Cone Had Fallen From A Tree And Shattered Someone’s Windshield. That Someone Is Me
This reminds me of when I was at the supermarket and a woman came in shouting “someone’s left the handbrake off their Mini and it’s rolling across the parking lot!”. “What colour?” “Red.” “Phew, mine’s white.” “Oh, it’s just smashed into a white Mini.” *runs*
Someone Incorrectly Assembled The Shelves At The Store I Work In, And Now I'm Lost In The Sauce
Hell Of A Way To Start Off My Graveyard Shift Last Night
Amazon Driver Left This Big Tote With Our Packages In It On Our Porch
Coworkers Make Each Other Valentine's Day Cards And I’m The Only One In My 12-Person Office That Didn’t Have One Made For Them. Some People Even Have Multiple… Awkward
We had a cork board at work where employees could leave “compliments”/happy note cards about their fellow co-workers. Terrible idea for morale. There are employees who choose not to socialize, or cannot due to anxiety, shyness, or introverted nature, and it hurts them as other employees may see them as unfriendly when they aren’t. The people who don’t socialize/act friendly will never get compliment cards (or Valentines etc) and that sucks. IMO a stupid and unfair system as not everyone is the same levels of energy, friendliness, socialization, etc.
Trying To Finish Up A Last Minute Job. Don’t Forget To Latch Your Screw Boxes People
Someone Had A Bad Day At Work
At least, from the looks of it, it wasn't entirely bad...just a semi-bad day (I'm sorry, even I'm ashamed of me for that one)
My Boss's Dog, Which Doesn't Belong At Work To Begin With, Tore Up My Mango Plant, That I Grew From A Mango I Had Eaten
Boss wasn't present for this, so I texted him to let him know, and all he had to say was "How much do I owe you?"
What was the boss supposed to say? Couldn’t the employee just find out how much it would cost to replace the plant at that approximate size? Was there some emotional attachment because it grew from a mango they ate? I don’t understand the problem here.
My Boss Screwed The Only Window At Our Office Shut, So Now It’s Impossible To Get Fresh Air. I’m Boiling At Work

It's a garbage truck, right? It was going to look like that sooner or later.
Broke My Finger At Work, Got Fired After The Drug Test. All At The End Of A 12-Hour Night Shift
Has anybody noticed that the majority of people being drug tested tend to be factory workers? None of the upper class people are subject to this. Congress, who passed this legislation, is exempt, also people like judges, CEOs, etc. I got in trouble with my company after being sent for a drug test after injuring my finger. When I got back, I told HR "I'll put my p**s up against management's any day." I got away with that because I was in a good union.

At least you didn't swallow it; that's a completely different ball game.
The Order My Manager Made Me Make After I Clocked Out. I Missed My Bus
If I had clocked out, then it's on the manager. Unless he wanted me to clock back in and unless he was providing my transportation home. That was on him

The Office Provided My Favorite Expensive Mexican Food For Lunch. I Dumped It All Over Myself
I once worked in a call center where the head of the department would often provide a special lunch for us. We could also eat at our desks. One time when they bought pizza and wings, my manager, who had desk behind me, sat down with his food...and immediately spilled it all over his keyboard. I felt so bad for him, but I was glad it wasn't me!

How I Found My Bike When Leaving Work Today (I Only Have One U-Lock)
My Coworker Waited Weeks For A Used Transmission For A Hybrid Tahoe. It Finally Showed Up And He Tipped It Up And Water Ran Out Of It For A Solid 60 Seconds

I found the EXACT SAME pics in the same order on the fun post. Who got it first?
The person who was a cart returner at Wal-Mart. Was complaining that people were not returning their carts? I... Well.... If?.... umm...? Forget it. If I explain it to them, I would be doing the job of learning for them. If this is not enough information for sometime in that type of situation; life is going to continue to be a abundance of differing disappointing situations. Puppies can bring happiness. Get yourself a puppy. . . DO NOT get a puppy. My apologies. They are only going to last you about 1 year each. . . Bonzi Tree
