You ever wish that you could have a perfect day, week, or month and that nothing could ever ruin it? Well, reality isn’t always so picture-perfect, and sometimes we have to deal with terrible days to enjoy the good ones when they come along.

Unfortunately for these folks, they got the worst luck at the worst time, but they ended up capturing the exact moment it happened. Although we can certainly sympathize with their plight, it can’t hurt to see exactly what went wrong.

The Funeral Home Accidentally Locked The Keys In The Hearse Graveside For My Mom Today

A white hearse parked on a dirt road, where things went wrong with transport.

I'm genuinely grateful to the local PD for not having a legitimate emergency and taking the time to jimmy the lock on the hearse. It only took an extra 10 minutes and waiting on a locksmith could've been 2 hrs. While sitcom worthy, it was only a mild annoyance thanks to local cops. Apparently it's never happened to them before, and I'm willing to bet they get an extra set of keys for the office moving forward. It's just a reminder that even during death, life still happens.

    Small things often go wrong daily, but we don’t notice some of them, and a few can actually ruin our day. According to a report by the New York Post, by 8:36am, the average American already knows whether their next 24 hours will be nice or terrible. Research on over 2,000 folks in the U.S. found that 26% believe that if something goes wrong in the morning, there’s no saving the rest of the day. 

    They also noted that on average, people tended to have 4 terrible days per month, and that these experiences usually came at the start of the week, possibly why it’s called the ‘Monday blues.’ Notably, 51% of parents said they experienced more terrible days at the start of the school year.

    Guys, if you have "nice shoes for a special occasion" - wear them once every 3 months. You don't have to go out with them, just a few couple of hours during the evening will do. I used to work for a well-known and expensive British shoe brand, and this is what we recommended our customers to do.

    For The Past 6 Years, My Previous Dermatologist Told Me The Spot Behind My Ear Was “Nothing To Worry About”

    Man wearing glasses with ear bandage as things went wrong pics

    15 years ago. I had my first two basal cell skin cancers removed, including one behind my right ear. It never seemed to heal properly. I still go to the dermatologist at least once a year. And I know I’ve asked my previous dermatologist about this spot at least for the past 6 years. Every year, he would look at it and tell me it was just damaged skin in a place that is hard to heal. This year that group quit taking my insurance. So I had to switch dermatologists. As soon as my new doc saw this area, he said “I am sorry, that is basal cell. You are going to need Mohs surgery”. 30 stitches later, it’s clean. I am convinced my previous doctor was more interested in selling lip filler and Botox than actually doing dermatology.

    Sometimes insurance companies refusing to pay doctors you’ve been seeing forever is actually a blessing in disguise. I’ve had multiple corrective procedures due to new doctors finding stuff that my previous surgeon/doctor failed to properly address or straight up medical mistakes.

    There could be many reasons a person’s day doesn't turn out as expected, and apparently, for 35% of folks, waking up feeling sick did it for them. For 31% of people, poor-quality sleep or waking up with a headache affected the rest of their day.

    From losing keys to forgetting their phone, or even running out of toilet paper, so many tiny things can make the next 24 hours feel like a pain. The problem is that once a day starts off badly, it can carry over for the next couple of hours and make a person feel even worse.

    ohsweetdeezus Report

    When someone has a terrible day, it isn’t just the physical exhaustion or pain they feel; a lot is also happening under the surface. According to the Inquisitive Mind, positive or negative events in a day tend to affect our mood and how we behave afterward.

    Sometimes, though, our emotion-processing bias can alter how we experience the world around us, and if we internalize or hold onto negative events, we might carry the stress of a bad day for much longer than we should. This can then translate into worry, tension, and negative thoughts like maybe the rest of our week will turn out terribly as well.

    As you might have noticed from this list, everyone seems to have bad days at least once in a while. Unfortunately, research has found that folks who experience depression and anxiety might struggle more after having a tough time; mainly, they might have an attentional bias that pushes them to look out for more mellow cues like sad music.

    This can make a person feel even worse and thereby continue the cycle of pain and distress. That’s why experts advise folks to focus on what they are grateful for, as this kind of positive thinking can help people out of their funk and see their day in a better light.

    Sometimes you can have a bad day, or, in extreme cases, a series of unfortunate events that push a person over the edge. In such cases, therapists note that people with many social roles, like artists, teachers, dancers, and painters, tend to be more emotionally resilient than folks with fewer roles.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    This is called “self-complexity” theory, and it suggests that people with more roles often build more social connections, which can help them regulate their emotions better and be more cognitively flexible. This could also suggest they respond to stress and disappointment better than those with fewer roles.

    A great way to turn a terrible day or week around completely is to celebrate the experience and actively do things that can make you feel better. Although it might feel completely alien to push yourself to be happy when you're at your lowest, gratitude or celebration can lessen the burden and help you feel better.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    A person’s attitude can make all the difference between being completely bogged down by an experience and dealing with it well. Since life is full of twists and turns, it’s best to go with the flow, experience even the lows, and choose to respond in a better way.

    Don’t underestimate the effect hormones can have on your emotions; research by Wondermind suggests that moving your body can do a lot to make you feel better. This kind of physical activity might be the last thing a person wants to do on a bad day, but it can help reduce stress by releasing endorphins, natural mood-lifting hormones. 

    Going for a walk, going for a run, dancing, or even creating moments of movement can help lighten the burden of the day. Although it probably won’t solve the whole problem, it can improve your mood, which is half the battle already won!

    When we’re down in the dumps about something that happened in our lives, it might be hard to think about anything else. The interesting thing to note is that we can improve this harsh state of mind by simply showing kindness to someone else.

    Research shows that doing kind deeds every day for a week can significantly boost happiness. This is because when we do something for another person, it makes us feel like we can impact the world positively and puts us in a better headspace.

    There are so many ways a bad day can ruin our mood and emotions and push us into a negative thought spiral. Luckily, we also have the capacity to turn that experience around and make it something positive instead. We just have to consciously make a decision not to let a bad moment, day, week, or month bog us down anymore, just like these folks probably did at some point.

    Our Dog Chewed My Wife’s Passport 12 Hours Before Our International Flight

    A damaged US passport with torn edges showing things went wrong

    We were packing for our family trip to Jamaica and I hear my wife scream upstairs. She just tells me “I’m not going to Jamaica” and shows me her passport. Only the main page shown is torn. Nothing else. (The image depicted is after she tried taping it back together) She dropped it on the bed for a second and the dog got to it. And she is normally not destructive like that, but despite how pissed we were, we couldn’t blame her.
    After reality has sunk in, I hopped on a call with some passport department inquiring about an emergency passport. They apparently only give them out if there is a death in the family etc. They searched for appointments nearby and the only one on the east coast was in Buffalo NY at 8am the following day. So we changed my wife’s flight, and sent her tour to buffalo, and got her a 10:45 am flight out from Buffalo to Orlando, then to Jamaica hoping that it would work. They don’t guarantee that you will get it same day, but the reviews for the location were surprisingly positive so we were hopeful. She shows up an hour early, is first in line and they tell her they can get it same day, but won’t start printing passports till 10am. The manager came out and told my wife she should probably change her flight because he can’t guarantee that she will get it in time for the 10:45 flight.
    She comes back around 10, sits right, and the woman at the front desk gives a friendly wink to my wife. At 10:15 the manager tells my wife’s passport is printing. Around 10:20-10:25 they hand it to her and she hits the find driver button on the uber app. She gets picked up, and takes the 15 min ride to the airport. The uber driver told her he’s driven MANY people that flew from out of state to Buffalo for a same day passport and he believed she could make it. Well she did. Boarding got delayed but she make it with like 10 minutes to spare and arrived in Jamaica only 3 hours after we did.
    Was beyond exhausting!
    TLDR: dog chews wife’s passport 12 before flight. Wife flys to Buffalo for only available appointment, gets her passport same day and barely makes her flight to eventually meet us in Jamaica only a few hours after our arrival.

    Only 7 Noodles In My Large-Size Stouffer’s Mac N Cheese

    A spoon dipping into a container of orange sauce where the plastic film didn't peel off correctly.

    33 weeks pregnant and was craving specifically Stouffer’s mac n cheese, don’t judge. Stirred it and noticed it was very soupy. So yes, I counted the noodles. I was extremely disappointed and of course this is the only box I bought EDIT: Okay guys, you all gave me a good laugh. I’m glad some were as inconvenienced about this as I was. I did boil some elbow noodles and toss them in there. I did not make nachos or use bread, because my craving was the stupid Stouffer’s mac n cheese. For those mad about me calling them “noodles”, I don’t care. I will continue calling them noodles, be mad I am considering contacting Stouffer’s QC, but also it was $5 and I’m fortunate enough to not be in a spot where $5 is a lot.

    "$4,000 'smart toilet'"??? I'm sorry this feels dystopian and also somehow excessive...

    Why "destroy" it in the first place? Pretty sure someone would have pick up anyway.

    My Wife Ate My Son's Birthday Breakfast

    Pastry with center sliced out, a funny case of things went wrong.

    Yesterday I bought a strawberry cheese coffee cake my son loves so he could have a special birthday breakfast today. My wife came home late last night and apparently couldn't resist. She knew it was for our son, but it's not a big deal because she "left him a full slice".

    OP confirmed that his wife did this after a night of heavy drinking out with her friends. Absolutely selfish and disgusting. OP gave his kid the last slice on a plate by itself so the kid at least didn't realize his own mother ate all the jelly/jam center part of the rest of his coffee cake.

    It could be because OP was cutting on a plate D: I've seen my family members break knives/snap the tips off from cutting on a plate instead of a cutting board or other flat surface.

    Colander Does Me Dirty

    Cooked spaghetti spilled directly into a kitchen sink through a broken plastic colander.

    Made some spaghetti, poured it into my trusty colander and gave it a couple shakes to get more water out...and the bottom of the strainer perfectly broke, plopping my fresh food right into the dirty sink. Thanks, plastic, you are the best.

    EDIT: lol for all the pedants out there, I moved the piece from under the pasta to show clearly how it broke. I ain't got time to make food and ruin it, and making my hungry kids wait another 30 minutes for dinner was annoying

    EDIT 2: yes, plastic colander is dumb and I absolutely upgraded to something more suitable after this sad event

    Are there really people in this world who sit there with spilt food all over their lap and their first thought is "oh, I better take a picture of this!" I've never spilled this much food on my lap (somehow, lol), but my first instinct is to jump up, wipe it off and wipe up any mess....not to sit there in my short skirt and take a pic
