Life isn’t always breezy. It can sneak up on us and take us by surprise as it knocks us to the ground. Sometimes, we have great days. Other times, not so much. Whether it’s an issue of your laptop crashing right before deadline, dropping a tray of eggs after you’ve just mopped the floor, mistakenly putting a red sock in the laundry with your beautiful white linen, missing the flight to your long-awaited island holiday, or something much worse, we’ve all had days where we wish we’d stayed in bed.
There’s something oddly gratifying about knowing someone had a worse time than us. And that’s why Bored Panda has compiled a list of totally unfortunate posts from people who could win gold in the Terrible Day Olympics, if there ever were such a thing. Keep scrolling, and don’t forget to thank your lucky stars that you’ve never made this list.

One Of The Screws Holding My Spine In Place Snapped
I had a L4-L5 / L5-S1 spinal fusion. I was sitting at my desk when I felt (and heard) a huge snap in my back. Almost immediately I couldn’t feel or move my left leg.
Turns out that one of the screws snapped. My surgeon was able to add another s***w but had to leave the broken piece in there. 0 out 10 stars - would not recommend.

Sucks For Whoever Was Dumb Enough To Park In Front Of A Hydrant

Never be that person that decides to FAFO with the Fire Department. We have no problem whatsoever on making you the "Find Out" example.

This is why I'm disappointed that we have in-ground fire hydrants, and apparently the Fire Service 'bounce' cars off the hydrant. I'd really like to see this type of justice where I live!
JuniorCJ82 7 months ago
Why did they bother opening the doors once they smashed in the windows? Other times this has happened (with pics for proof), it's just smashy smash then hose right on through.

If You Lost Your Cooler On I-95 In Florida, I Found It, At 65mph
M O'Connell 8 months ago
@Cin, the sun is at a low angle hampering their vision, and they hit an object that is the exact same color as the roadway. Plus, in heavy fast-moving traffic it's probably safer to just hit it than to swerve or stomp on your brakes.

Girlfriend Found The Engagement Ring A Week Before I Was Going To Propose
I've had the ring for a little over 2 months now. Hid it behind some old books on the shelves in my office. After some of our friends started posting old yearbook photos in our group chat, she ran to go look through our yearbooks too. It didn't occur to me until too late...
We have a trip to Chicago coming up within a week. So much for surprises.

The IKEA shops I know (in Switzerland) have self-service boxes in the entrance area containing all sorts of commonly-mislaid assembly parts like those. All for free. And if you need bigger pieces they'll also send them for free, even if it's off an older item that's just broken.

Took Off My Headphones Tonight And Noticed I Have A Balled Spot
I just turned 26 despite having a bunch of gray hairs. I was playing games tonight and decided to call it early and whenever I took off my headset my fingers brushed across something smooth. There’s not normally anything smooth there so I audibly said “that’s not good” to myself.
My family doesn’t have history with balding on either side, we just start graying early. We also have pretty thick heads of hair and the rest of my hair seems to totally fine. I was going to go to bed but now I’m going to spend my night researching whether I’ve got ringworm or alopecia.
I hope you’re having a better night.

Stepped out onto the balcony of my hotel room and shut the door behind me (it’s cold outside). The safety bar fell down and now the door is barred shut. I’m on the 2nd floor.
To make matters worse, the security latches on the door from the hall are set. The maintenance guy can’t get into my room to let me back in.

I Jumped Up And Hit My Ceiling Fan Being Tall Sucks
Huddo's sister 8 months ago (edited)
I had a boyfriend when I was in high school who was 6ft tall. I was (still am) short, like the rest of my family, and our grandad built my house to accommodate this, with low benchtops, cupboards and lights. One of the first times he came over to my place he hit his head on the lounge light and the glass shade fell off and smashed. Since he wasn't the only tall visitor that had issues, we ended up raising that light, since it was suspended on a chain that could be shortened.
