When it rains, it pours. If I oversleep one day, it will definitely be when I have something extremely important that morning. I’ll also hop in the shower to find that there’s no hot water. Then, while I’m running through a storm to catch a bus, I’ll most certainly get splashed by a car driving through a huge, muddy puddle. That’s just how life works sometimes!
But I’ve learned that even when I’m having a terrible day, it can always get worse. To prove this point, Bored Panda has scoured the internet to find photos from people who are probably having a much worse day than you. So enjoy scrolling through these photos that are so unfortunate you can’t help but laugh, and be sure to upvote the situations that make you thankful for your own luck today!

I Guess I'll Move Out And Just Let Him Live Here
Ok the song is now playing in my head. Thanks, Phoebe!

One time I was at a friend's house in the Bronx and we took her dog out for a walk. When we came back inside, the dog started going berserk at something under one of the living room cabinets. It was a skunk. So we ran outside and my friend calls the local police for assistance. They sent the BOMB SQUAD. Fair play to them, they got the lil stinker out without anyone getting hurt or sprayed.
This Guy Stole My Bread. While I Was Going To The Bathroom He Comes In And Shows Me His Prize
My dog did this with a freshly baked loaf of bread! Same thing, I was in the bathroom, I heard his toenails click on the counter, figured he's too short to reach, and next thing I know, I'm pulling up my pants and chasing him around the back yard. He stole the bread and my dignity that day.
I feel you. XD I have a GSD mix who had distemper as a puppy - he survived, but with some severe neurological and mobility issues (and also full-body uncontrollable twitching). We thought he couldnât jump/rear up on his hind legs at all, because his body is crooked and he has balance issues even when walking. So boyfriend put a plate with a beef tri-tip on it out on the backyard table for a second (waiting for the grill to heat up) and went inside to get his grill tongs. Took maybe 5 seconds. It turns out our âvery disabledâ dog is MUCH more mobile than we thought and is 100% capable of JUMPING up onto the backyard table XD We lost our supper that day, but gained great joy in knowing Stilgar was much more physically capable than we gave him credit for!

The funniest dog theft to ever happen in our house: My husband (6'4") was standing up eating a chicken wrap... when - out of nowhere - our 115 lb American Bulldog suddenly lept up and snatched the wrap from my husband's hand just as he was about to take a bite. Obviously, my husband scolded the pup ("No! Drop it!") ...and so the dog immediately dropped it on the floor in front of him. ... and - just when you think it's over and couldn't get any more hilarious- our 15 lb Jack Russell Terrier came flying out of nowhere, snatched up the fallen chicken wrap, and then bolted up the spiral staircase at lightning speed. My husband looked utterly bewildered - staring at the spot where the snackwrap had fallen - then sighed in defeat, shrugged, and said "Well, I guess they're trying to tell me something" (he's always griping about how he "needs to lose some weight") ...then found himself laughing - albeit, rather hungrily đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Now, a cat would get under something where the soft can-opener couldn't chase it, because soft can-openers think the phrase "you snooze, you lose" only applies to other people. Dogs are silly enough to go show the soft can-opener, and kiss up. This is only one reason we're smarter than dogs.
My weimaraner stole a whole pizza, box of chocolate covered cherries (from a super high place) AND a smoked ham!! It's a wonderful he lived to be 16 yrs old. #ironstomach
My cat did this with a batch of cupcakes fresh out the oven. Ate his way through the tops of them. Little sh*t.
Sunlight Through This Glass Doorknob Started A Housefire
Yes, all rounded full glass is dangerous. Even a glass or bottle of water is a magnifying glass. Make sure you do NOT have any smooth, curved glass anywhere, where direct sunlight can get. There were pictures of keyboard burned through by glasses left next to a computer. It can be one of the reasons why medieval glasses were decorated, to break the focusing. Few lines are enough to break the "laser death ray". wine-66a89...83-png.jpg
This makes me rethink my beautiful glass water carafes standing in full sunlight everyday O.o

Load More Replies...Three years ago, we were doing a garage sale since we were moving out. My mom put a magnifying mirror next to a cardboard box. Guess what happened. Florida in July for context
But, why would anyone pick glass out of any other material for a doorknob? Slippery, fire starter, dirt magnet glass?? Just why?
It was all the rage in the 1800s, being a more decorative version instead of the typical materials used. They were made even more popular during the wars because the materials typically used, like brass, was needed for war efforts. Many old houses today still have them. Our one attic door has a glass k**b on it. I love it, but thankfully it's nowhere near any window or light source that could be a problem, lol. It's not slippery, definitely not any more of a dirt magnet than any other doorknob in the house either. Sometimes it's less so, because it doesn't gather any and all dirt, oils, grime, whatever might be on people's hands and brass/metal absolutely does.
Load More Replies...We all know how it feels to have a bad day. In fact, one survey found that most Americans would consider about 60 days out of the year to be “bad ones,” CBS News reports. It’s pretty unfortunate to hear that one sixth of the year is made up of terrible days, but one of the easiest ways to fix this would be to find a job that you love.
Apparently, about fourth fifths of those polled admitted that work-related stress was a significant factor in many of their bad days. But two thirds also noted that not getting enough sleep always sets them up for a bad day. Other factors that might turn a good day upside down are feeling sick, worrying about money, having plans cancelled or watching your favorite sports team lose.
Got My Nieces (3) This Tent For Christmas. One Ran Away And One Started To Cry. My Sister-In-Law Was Like, "We Have One Of Those, It's The Time-Out Tent"
We just sent the kids to their rooms. And not in a punishment way. It was more like, "Hey, your emotions are running high right now. Why don't you take a break and I'll come in and talk with you after you've rested for a bit." Or I'd tell them to come find me when they felt better. When they were little and losing control, I'd ask if they needed a hug. It didn't always work, but it did most of the time. It would diffuse so many situations. When they got older and were getting upset or I was questioning their behavior sometimes they'd say to me, "Mom, I just need a hug." They're grown now and they use it on me when I'm having a bad day or my anxiety is bad or I'm being moody. "Mom, do you need a hug?" And then they give me one. It works.
Of course you weren't to know, but that tent seems to make 'time-out' rather good fun.

I was in the airport. My bag was checked in, and I wandered off to the wee shop to buy a book. Reaching down to a lower shelf, there was a ripping of the crotch seam. Thankfully, I was wearing black trousers, black knickers, and a black long-line cardigan jacket. Going through security was a little tricky as I was asked to take off my jacket. I explained the situation, and was taken off to one side so I could be given the basic search whilst not exposing my torn trousers. :o) I was very grateful to the member of security staff who was so understanding.
Goats... Really?
They love to climb. Was probably mostly just getting up higher. A few of my goats got out a couple months back and came over to see me at the house. I was by the cars and they started side eying their reflection in one and were about to hop up when I noped them out of there
Load More Replies...My turkey liked to jump on my dadâs car and peck their reflections. He was not thrilled about the turkey talon marks
When I was a kid we lived in a house where the driveway went through a pasture with cattle guards, sometimes we had horses or cows. This freaked visitors out and I recall one family stopping because a horse was near their car, then the horse started climbing on her car, dad was rolling his eyes, just keep driving they wil move
We have 97 goats here at our rescue and have had zero car damage in 8 years!
If you realize things just aren’t going your way one day, it can be tempting to throw the whole day away and start fresh tomorrow. Some days are past the point of redemption! But if you haven’t completely given up yet, it might still be possible to turn the day, or at the very least the evening, around.
If you want to stop the entire day from being cursed, HuffPost recommends first just taking a breath and calming down for a moment. It’s easy to become stressed or overwhelmed when things aren’t going according to plan. But if you take a moment to relax and think about your situation, you might be able to approach the rest of the day with a more level head.
I Booked My Flight Online And Chose The "Vegetarian Oriental" Meal. This Is What I Got
They forgot to mention that you were to bring your own cookware, oven, etc.

Husband Went Into The Attic To Fix A Leak. Lost His Footing And Fell Through. Heâs Ok. The Whole Floor Level Of Our Home Is Not
Because american homes are more like origami than real buildings.
He stepped somewhere that he wasn't supposed to, lol. It's obviously not a floor up there given the fact that it's completely covered in insulation. He just took the wrong turn to Albuquerque. Lots of attics (even outside of the US) have surfaces that aren't meant for load bearing, especially of the human variety. Our attic has both walkable spaces and non-walkable. If you step in the wrong spot, you're going to find the second floor pretty quickly, lol.

Even Worse Than 52 Card Pickup
When this happened here I went and got my magnet fishing kit. Finally the damn thing came in useful for something.
Just think of it as meditation. Ban everyone else from the room and enjoy the silence, broken only by the sound of tinkling metal. Heck, next time you need some "me time" you might do it on purpose!
My first thought was to wave a strong magnet over it, but thereâs still the sortingâŠ.
Next, HuffPost suggests taking stock of your situation. Sure, some things might not have worked out today. But could it have been worse? If you still have your health, your loved ones around and/or something to look forward to later on in the week, all hope is not lost!
It also helps to be realistic. If you’re not actually experiencing the worst case scenario, you still have something to be thankful for. Some of the best advice I ever read when I was in a “Why me?” mood while mourning a tragedy was: Why not you? Bad things happen every single day, and unfortunately, none of us are immune to them. No, they aren’t fun to experience, but they are inevitable.
RIP Washing Machine
Since the dowels just came out of the wall, I strongly suspect that they were the wrong dowels for this type of wall. They must be special heavy-duty dowels for dry walls (they open at the back like an anchor) as far as I know...
Per reddit, those were concrete anchors, but they're only rated to about 200lbs, way below what this would weigh.

Probably some sort of water heater, but I agree that was an accident waiting to happen. Luckily no persons were injured.

I don't think this was an earthquake. It looks like the water tank was mounted to the wall above the washing machine. Improperly mounted, I should say.

That tree either doesn't like him and doesn't want him to leave or really likes him and wants him to stay home that day.
My tree came down but fortunately didn't hit anything important. Thank goodness
When you’re having a terrible day, your first impulse might be to find someone or something to blame. But sometimes, it’s best not to point the finger. Many things in life are completely out of our control, and we have no way of knowing what would have happened if things had just gone our way. Something else could have gone wrong, perhaps something worse! Try not to be angry or bitter, and accept that the day was simply out of your control.

Washing Machine In The Apartment Above Me Was Pouring Water For Days, And No One Noticed Until It Started Pouring Out Of My Circuit Breaker
I had an apartment where the upstairs bath tub was leaking. The apartment complex waited 3 days to get to us. By that point the whole wall was soaked. They didn't replace the drywall and it was a big wall of mold. Moved the hell out of there. Also, the ceilings in two rooms collapsed. They came by and fixed one, left and never fixed the other. They thought I was a jerk for bothering them.
When it comes to not blaming anyone for your bad luck, that includes letting yourself off the hook. Even if you made a mistake that got you here, you’re human. We’re all fallible! Be kind to yourself and have compassion. Perhaps you weren’t feeling well, which caused you to be off your game. Or maybe your mind was elsewhere when working because of issues going on in your personal life. We’re all complex creatures who can’t be expected to be 100% our best all the time.

Thought It Would Be Fun To Invite My Friends Over For Lunch On My Dogâs Birthday Just For Fun. Everyone Canceled After I Put The Delivery Order In
I hope your dog had a great time with his favourite person (you) anyway.
This should be a great day! more cake and pizza for you, you get to eat leftover pizza for a day or two, and thereâs no need so socialise with anyone so can wear comfy clothes and lounge. This sounds perfect (for real though, having friends all cancel plans would be sad, but the introvert in me would also be partly grateful)
Sounds like a Halloween party I planned. Had 15 people say theyâd come. No one showed up. Had to deal with an absurd amount of hot dogs and buns afterwards
Beanie-weenies or macaroni and cheese with hot dogs, plus garlic bread!
Load More Replies...Sounds like an independence day cookout I had planned about 15 years ago. I invited everyone at the small restaurant I worked at, and spent over $300 in food. Everyone cancelled the day before or the morning of.
This is a none problem. No guests and plenty of food to snack on. Best day ever.
Reminds of my last try at a birthday party. Told people there'd be food, so I needed to have an estimate of how many were coming (family mostly). Spent two days prepping and baking and cooking (homemade mini sausage rolls, quiche, cakes, other small things so it's like a walking dinner). In the end two friends came who informed me they already had dinner plans so wouldn't eat at my place and four family members came, two of whom nibbled on things, and then the others were like "not hungry, we already ate". Tried to save as much food as possible, but given how little showed up, how little they ate and their refusal to take some stuff home with them, I had to throw away quite a lot. Never invited people over for food since.

Someone Got Their Croc Stuck In The Escalator
My kindergarten teacherâs daughter had something similar happen. She fell and ended up needing stitches. Iâve hated escalators ever since
The escalators here have warning signs saying NO CROCS. Fashion faux pas aside, this is why.
That croc likely saved that person's foot. It's not the shoe that's the problem, it's the person wearing it. People don't pay attention very well on escalators. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen people trip, get things caught, fall. Crocs are not any more inherently bad to wear on an escalator than other shoes. In fact, shoes with laces are worse, because laces get tangled way easier and more often. Plus, slipping out of a partially laced up shoe if it gets stuck is much more difficult than a croc that's not snug on your foot.
Load More Replies...In Florida, a croc stuck on an escalator is an entirely different problem. Sort of like all Florida problems.
Soft shoes like crocs, flip flops, etc can be real dangerous on escalators. Just google the term "degloving injury" for fun.
I got a sandal stuck as a kid...and have been leery of them ever since.
This is why you never take a dog on an escalator unless you can pick it up to hold it! Easy to get a paw mangled like this!
Finally, HuffPost recommends looking forward when you’re experiencing terrible luck one day. Usually, it’s important to try to be present, but if the only thing that can get you through a bad day is the fact that you’re looking forward to tomorrow, or even next weekend, it’s worth it. Think about how great it will be to celebrate your upcoming birthday or to see your parents when they come to visit. If this day is a lost cause, don’t worry. The next one won’t be!

Tar Splattered On The Back Of My Car. We Are Figuring Out The Mystery, But It May Be That The Transformer On The Pole I Park My Car Next To At My House Might Be Overheating And Leaking
I didn't even know they could do that, unbelievable. I just went to the car wash recently, too.Â

I should have known better (obviously)... it was my dog and I was the one who was doing his training... I knew he was incredibly smart, but - sadly - had made an assumption in the moment. Apparently, one should never assume a dog's breed limits it's potential abilities. Loki is now 5 y/o and still the smartest pup I've ever had!
Grandparents' House Caught Fire While They Were Away For Thanksgiving

Guess The Chicken Had Paprika On It
All you have to do is touch the chicken with the paprika with your fingers and then rub your eyes. I have accidently done this many times in the past
Load More Replies...This is allergic reaction. It can be fatal. I've a rare capsicum allergy and have had to have emergency Epipherine in the back of an ambulance a few times. If it's Paprika that caused it? Chances are it's an allergy to Capsicum.
I am allergic to bell peppers and paprika is made from bell peppers. I get like this when I eat anything with paprika. However, I can eat all the other kinds of peppers like jalapenos, ghost and pablanos with zero problems. I am not allergic to nightshades either. My docs are dumbfounded but every time I eat bell peppers or paprika, I get hives and my face swells up.

They did this to my car. Then smashed a window and tried to take apart the steering column only to find I had the software upgrade that prevented them from stealing the car. I have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. I got the upgrade after the car had been stolen 6 months before...
Same minus the window smash. Old one was a Hyundai Sonata. Vandalized and stolen (broke down on them in town HA) new one is a Hyundai Elantra. Tiktok showed people how to steal those vehicles and Kias. My new one has the upgrade as well.
Load More Replies...I once had someone try to siphon gas out of my car. Someone ripped off the gas cap door only to find it was the door covering the electrical charging port.
Dang! I had the same thing happen to me years ago. Damaged the locks on both doors, so I had to get a locksmith to replace them.
My Bathroom Scale Randomly Shattered. No Sound, Nothing Around It That Could've Hit It
Tempered glass explodes due to big changes in temperature. It could have gotten hot due to the shower running, then had a cold breeze blow over it. I've seen them explode from less.
Load More Replies...Had the same thing happen with mine. I believe it was because I had ignored some previous warnings in the display, like: 'One at a time!', 'Scale meant for people', 'Put down the pizza & beer!'
Only Had A Few More Passes To Go
That's an easy fix as long as the nut and washer haven't already been picked up and turned into shrapnel by the mower.
It looks to me like the plastic broke around the axle instead of the nut and washer coming off, so that will need a new wheel.
Load More Replies...Why do that at all? This grass is perfectly fine. I hate the idea of ugly lawns. Taller grass keeps more moisture.
I agree with you. I hate lawns in general. But, some communities have rules about it. The US has a lot of HOAs that will fine you up the wazoo if you don't keep the lawn short.
Load More Replies...I had a hand-me-down mower when we first got our house, it was not great, pain to start and push. I was pushing pushing pushing to get by a divot and one of the wheels came off, had rusted off. I was so frustrated I shoved it to the end of our driveway where trash pickup is, it was collected by someone before days end - good riddance. Even if I had to buy a new one
Opened Up My Fireproof Safe To Find My Passport Growing Mold On Top Of All Of My Important Documents
I have a similar safe and found that my passport and important papers all smelled musty. I don't live in an area where mold is a problem but maybe one of my old documents had gone a bit musty and infected everything else.
Could also live in a very tropical environment like North Queensland, Fiji, Thailand etc
Load More Replies...And keep moisture out most importantly. It creates an airtight seal so whatâs in stays in and whatâs out stays out
Load More Replies...Must of had some moisture in there when you closed it and if it's air tight, that can happen. :(
Weekly Plasma Donation And I Got This Lovely Complimentary Bruise
In Scotland, you can donate plasma once every four weeks. It's every 12 weeks for blood, and they advise 16 weeks for women between 18 and 50. And of course, people are not paid to donate. Buying plasma and blood preys on the poor and vulnerable.
Load More Replies...I've had this happen with a plasma donation. They really struggled getting it in for me, then it clotted while they were giving me back my blood so I had to wait around for an hour while they monitored me and gave me fluids. Bruise lasted for a couple of months.
Maybe you should take a break from those weekly donations. Your body says so.
do not go back or get another technician. Also check with your provider for anemia and/or clotting issues.
I've had small bruises before from plasma donations Red Cross but this is really bad. Get some Vitamin E oil to fub on it twice a day and definitely don't use that arm for awhile.
What weekly isn't it too much? In my country you can donate blood 4times per year and plasma can be every month

Pipe Burst In The Attic And The Ceiling Caved In
Sometimes we do, and when a pipe burst above the bathroom I was very glad to find, that the wall that got soaked were NOT gypsum board.
Load More Replies...Why would they run water through the attic? That's the first place that would freeze.
If the house is built on a floating slab, the pipes go underneath. If the pipes break, you have to dig up your floor to get access. Not everyone has a basement.
Load More Replies...Had this happen 1 week after I moved into my first house. Pipe behind shower burst and collapsed the bathroom into the garage. Tons of water all over the pallets of new wood flooring I had in there
Accidentally Stepped On My Glasses And They Broke In Half. I Don't Have Money For New Ones
I always keep my old prescription glasses as backup in case I break or lose the new ones. Better wearing outdated glasses then being blind (I'm really shortsighted)
Mine and my contact lenses are covered on my house contents insurance.
Load More Replies...That's what masking tape is for. You'll look like a nerd but a nerd who can see.
I just downvoted someone who suggested buying a new pair of frames at a thrift shop. My glasses are upwards of ÂŁ180 depending upon the frames that fit the lenses and how the lenses would fit in the frames. You can't always just put duct tape or sellotape on them, as a quick fix maybe but put a piece of sellotape just beside your eye and see how it affects your vision. You tend to, your vision, goes towards that rather than watching where you're going... Been there, done that!
Bought 2 Days Ago, Receipt Is Gone Of Course
Put in pan, crack egg in hole, flip, cook egg, eat. Yum, eggs are still keto.
I was going to say, perfect bread for Toad in the Hole.
Load More Replies...The weight will be correct, but this is a massive over-proofing of the loaf. The bottom part will be far more dense then good bread should be.
Load More Replies...This has happened to me too and I sent feedback to the bakery and received a fairly generous gift card. Probably because I was a bit tipsy and creatively used humorous language. for example, as far as I'm concerned, I didn't buy bread that identified itself as bagels.
you can fry an egg in the middle and make a pretty good breakfast sandwich.
They'll have to have the 'hole' street in for breakfast, to use up the loaf.

Give it a good yank, as long as you have both serial numbers, it is exchangeable for a new one
I'm pretty sure if you have more than half of a US bill, it is considered legal tender.
Load More Replies...$20 was this person's Christmas shopping budget? Off to the Dollar Tree!
You can take the pieces inside, and the teller will replace the bill for you đ
I think you only need at least 51% but that might only be at a fed reserve bank.
Trying To Move My CD Collection, I Should Just Give Up At This Point
Need to pick these up. Unless the cds themselves are damaged, they should be ok.

Those things are pretty near indestructible. I ran over one with my car. Case was ruined but the CD is fine.

I Got Food Poisoning After Ordering Cheap Tilapia Online. I Should've Known That 45 Cents Per Filet Was Going To Cause Me Trouble, But No, I Just Had To
Ordering fresh food that doesnât come from a grocery store is always a bad ideađ
I've ordered plenty of meat before and never had a problem - steaks, pork, lamb, etc.. Now seafood, unless it's still flash frozen or shipped overnight, nope.
Load More Replies...I find it extremely difficult to have any sympathy whatsoever for anyone dumb enough to think that eating mail-order fish is a good idea
It was just shipped in a cardboard box? đ§ Should've been packed in foam with dry ice.
A lot of tilapia is fed human waste. Never ate it again. They showed it on dirty jobs.
I ordered some gummies and chocolate, and they were better packed than this. Mail order fish I don't think so.
My Entire Trash Can Melted
Melted? It burned down, and in doing do nearly set your house on fire too!
Someone else put hot stuff in it, according to the OP.
Load More Replies...Your bins should never stand right against your house wall, for this reason (and because pyromaniacs might set them on fire)
This is what happens when you put hot ashes from your fireplace or BBQ in a plastic trash can.

My Defrost Doesn't Work
Luke warm (NOT HOT) ziplock bag of water. Rub it on the outside of the window and run the wipers .
Looking at the dash lights it looks like that's not the only problem
Make sure your vent is set to FRESH air...not recycled air in your car cabin...thisnis caused by recycling moist air that freezes to the windows
Based on the "Christmas tree" of warning lights I'd say a lot of stuff isn't working...
you've got alot of red lights on your dash there bro..is it just the defrost or the whole car!

Paying $1288 For One Ticket Just To See Fanâs Sign For One Entire Song
I heard ticketmaster is getting sued by the US GOVERNMENT for having a monopoly. I hope something comes out of it...
Load More Replies...who is stupid enough to pay a thousand dollar for a cincert ticket, deserves somerhing like that.
I can feel her pain, I was in Japan in a concert for the first time of a band I like for over 10 years. A fan next to me kept keeping up her sign into my face. She was smaller than me, I kept pushing away her hand from my face many time to be able to see. It doesn't matter how much she paid for the ticket, this is just simply rude to do it to other people.
I don't get the need to hold up a sign. No one cares. Especially Taylor Swift.
Why they didn't just tap her shoulder and say something? You don't have to tolerate this.
Your first mistake was paying...that much money for a concert ticket.

I understand that part. I'm curious as to why it looks warped. Almost like a trapezoid. Not quite a square or rectangle. Or is it the angle that makes it look distorted? Thanks.
