If Today Feels Horrible, Here Are 50 Photos To Remind You It Can Always Get Worse (New Pics)
Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes it might even feel as though the universe is offended by our mere existence… It’s out to get us, armed with a dash of bad luck, questionable timing, and a wicked sense of humor. And just when we think our day couldn’t possibly get any worse - it does.
As much as we like to wallow in self-pity when things go south, there’s some strange comfort in realizing that we’re not alone. There’s almost always someone, somewhere out there, who is (believe it or not) having an even worse day than you. And once they’ve recovered enough to laugh about it, many of them will gladly post about it online, to remind the rest of us that perfection is pretty overrated.
If you wish you didn't get out of bed this morning, or just like to laugh at other people's misfortunes, keep scrolling. Bored Panda has rounded up a list of stories that prove no matter how rough you've had it, some poor soul has probably had it worse, and they've got the receipts to prove it.

My Mandible Has A Hole In It
First of all no, it wasn’t caused by a traumatic event. It was a big infection and yes it was painful. Second thing is that a year ago i was still under chemotherapy and my doctor said that may aggravated the infection because chemo really weakened my immune system and my body. My oncologist said that even though my immune system was very weak that shouldn’t affect the bone, especially that much. Everything is healing now and I’m 9 months cancer free.

Bad days happen to the best of us. Even royalty, world leaders and celebrities aren't immune. Granted, some rough days are worse than others. For example, one can hardly compare locking your keys in the car to being laid off from your job.
The important thing, say the experts, is not to let a bad day affect your mental health. Easier said than done. We know...
"The first step in resetting your day is to interrupt the stress response by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which operates largely through the vagus nerve that runs from our brain to our intestine, forming a brain-gut connection," says Shanna B. Tiayon, also known as “The Wellbeing Dr.”
She adds that the key to doing this lies in some form of body work.

A Man Punched Out My Rear Windshield This Morning Because I Honked Back At Him After He Honked At Me
Long story short, man honked at me in a parking lot. I honked back at him, so he got out of his car and yelled at me to get out and fight him. I drove by him and he literally punched my window out. I thought he threw something but he admitted it to police and was taken to the hospital to repair his bloody and broken hand, before being taken in by the police.

This happened to me! Some kids passed me in our tiny neighborhood so close I thought they would hit me, then I honked. They turned around and followed me to where I parked. Thought nothing of it (dumb) but the next day back window and side window were smashed. This was a 1982 VW rabbit in the mid 90s, almost a beater. Top it off, my $35 sears radio friends installed in 1984 when I bought it was stolen by someone else. Like JUST TAKE THE CAR, ALREADY, will ya!??

When your day is getting you down, Tiayon says one of the simplest ways to turn things around is to breathe. But to breathe with intent.
She suggests something known as the 4-7-8 breathing technique, where you inhale for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 7, and exhale for a count of 8. It’s a therapeutic strategy frequently offered to people who manage anxiety, reveals the expert.
"Because the exhale is twice as long as the inhale, it can interrupt a stress response by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and lowering your heart rate (the opposite of what happens during fight or flight)," she explains.

I was curios enough to check a wind load calculator, and even if a 50mph wind was blowing straight up against the underside of a 3x4' hood there would only be 80 pounds of force on it. Still, it's not all that uncommon, but it almost certainly requires the primary latch to be undone.

Years ago a coworker who was a former mechanic was driving his beater car to work on the highway when this happened. he couldn't get it down so he drove the last 4 miles with his head out the window early morning. My boss spotted him, very recognizable cráppy car and they lived close to each other. and cut in front of him to lead him. Luckily our job was right off the highway and it wasn't a very busy area. Luckily no one was injured but that guy was an idíot and obviously that was why he was no longer a tech. Nice guy just not real bright.

Just Went Into Anaphylaxis During An MRI
Went for an MRI with contrast today. During the procedure, I noticed that my hands felt a bit itchy, but I attributed it to staying still in the machine for so long. When I came out and saw myself in the mirror, I was shocked. My face was so puffy, and my whole body was rapidly turning red.
I shuffled back to tell the tech, who initially didn’t seem too concerned, as she told me to just take benedryl when I got home. Things must’ve gotten worse in those few seconds, because midway through speaking, she bolted to grab a nurse. As I was sitting there waiting for her to return, I realized I couldn’t really hold myself up anymore, it was hard to breathe, and it was physically hard to form words.
Turns out I wasn’t far from dying, as I later heard the nurse whisper to another about how she was going to demand a change of protocol, to ensure that epinephrine is in all of the kits. In a hushed tone, she said “That poor girl was bright red. I wasn’t sure she was going to make it.”
These pics are from about 30 minutes after the lifesaving cocktail the nurse administered. I’m still processing what just happened.
Kabuki Kitsune 4 weeks ago
Catch 22 there. Quite a few people are allergic to the contrast dyes they use in an MRI. However the problem is, those who ARE allergic to it, won't know they are until they have an MRI. The allergy doesn't typically affect anything else, so unless someone has one of those tests done, the person can go their whole life without knowing about it. It's not even something they test for either, or even have a good enough test for that they can rule it out. So, while it's rare that someone has a full blown reaction like this, it is a known issue that can happen.
Patsy Robins 3 weeks ago
Actually, if you’re allergic to seafood, especially shellfish, there's a good chance you’ll be allergic to contrast dye, it’s the iodine. ALWAYS tell the radiology tech if you have a seafood allergy (& ideally it should be a standard question before they inject the dye.)

My mom found out during a CT scan with IVP dye that almost k****d her. I was told never to have a CT scan with IVP dye and to tell my sister and nieces because of the blood line; we're all probably allergic to it. They wanted me to have a MRI with contrast and I couldn't breathe BEFORE they administered the contrast dye, so I did not have to go through that.

WAY too much personal info on this to be sharing with the internet at large. MORE than enough to engage in identity theft, doxxing, etc.
Another way to beat a bad day is to get out into nature. This, says Tiayon, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system in various ways. Something as simple as grounding (putting your bare feet directly on the ground outside), can have a deep calming effect. It helps to relax your muscles and allows you to get lost in your surroundings instead of in your stressor.
The expert says that once you've managed to stop the stressor, the next step is to flood your body with feel-good hormones. This counteracts the effects of the adrenaline and cortisol released during the stress response.
And there are a few ways you can do this...

"Endorphins help us to reduce stress; serotonin helps us balance our mood and feel a greater sense of well-being; oxytocin can lower stress and makes us feel more connected to others," Tiayon says.
The most obvious way to get these hormones pumping is to exercise. 30 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise works best in generating the release of endorphins and serotonin. Think things like cycling, dancing, or taking a brisk walk.

The kitchen at the school I work at recently became the tuck shop/canteen kitchen (they used to have a separate one) as well. They plugged in their freezer and although it was around a corner from the powerpoint, there was a big sign on it saying not to unplug it. Anyway, came back after the summer holidays and someone from the church group that also uses the kitchen must have unplugged it. Not only lost all the food, the place stank and it took at least three days to clear, despite using glen20 multiple times. The poor cleaner that had to clear it was physically sick and should have got a pay bonus.

As a long-distance, highway commuter, I can say with conviction, that tailgating (following the vehicle ahead too closely for speed or conditions) has been the cause of 95+% of the hundreds of accidents I have seen during my 75 mile drives to and from work. Whether that tailgating is caused by distracted driving (texting etc) is debatable. It seems to me, to be just a level of impatience and entitlement. I guarantee, if you are on my tail, I WILL get you off of it.

This happened to my daughter and grandkids recently at a stop light. The police refused to let her speak with the other driver to get his info, so now she cannot file an insurance claim against her. Everyone had to go to the ER due to injuries and the police treated them like they caused the accident.
Laugh Fan 3 weeks ago
What country are you in? That sounds very off. Why didn't she make a note of the car registration anyway, don't need to get close to do that. Just take a photo. The police often do keep the parties involved apart, understandably as sometimes emotions run high, but in the UK (and fairly sure the US and probably many countries) it is a legal requirement to share insurance information if an accident involves an injury or damage to another vehicle. Drivers must exchange details including name, address, and vehicle registration. The police, in your daughters instance, should also give the information to her in order to make an insurance claim. The officer at the scene will usually give a report number or incident number. She may well need this number to request the official report from the police department, which often takes a few days or weeks to process and become available. If everyone had to go to the ER due to injuries, then the police have the info and will need to share it.

Philly Bob 3 weeks ago (edited)
Unless YOU have gap insurance, the insurance companies will not BUY you a new car. They give you blue book value (here in the US) which can be well below the cost of replacing the vehicle. You can buy a brand new car for 30K drive it for 1 day, get slammmed by another driver and their insurance only pays out 25K. You're not only stuck with the 5K difference, but you're out another 2 to 4K for the down payment on another new car. They got a nice racket going on.

Should not be a problem for the buyers. The sellers must by law bring the house up to code before sale, and this problem is now known so they must reveal it to any future buyers. And if they occupy the home before closure, that's an additional risk deliberately taken by the sellers. All these mean that, unless it were a crazy hot real estate market that would make the sellers want to try again to sell it in a more expensive climate after making those repairs anyway, the sellers are financially motivated to make the repairs and proceed with the sales. They're bluffing if they act like they don't want to. You don't need to worry about government regulators doing their job; the banks have a financial interest in doing so. I know all of this from experience, even in the worst state in the union for crushing the little people.
An even quicker way to release feel-good hormones is to hug someone. Not only does it bring on serotonin and oxytocin, but it also reduces cortisol and adrenaline in the body.
"Finding a human or furry loved one and snuggling for a few minutes can do the trick and increase your sense of connection with someone you care about," Tiayon reveals.
By now, you should be feeling better but your work is not yet done. The wellness expert says it's important to tackle the source of your stress. "With our brain more fully back online—and our ability to focus, think, and strategize enhanced—we’re likely in a better position to manage the source of the stress," she explains.

My family usually had used cars during my childhood, as the budget was tight. When I was in high school, my mom bought her first and only brand new car, because there was such a good offer on it at the time. It was shiny, pretty, fast, and she was very happy with it. On about the 4th day of owning it, she and I went to run some errand far from home in a big city. We had to stop at a red light in the middle of the city, in very busy traffic. Then when the light turned green, she just wouldn't go. I asked what was up, and she turned to me in a panic, saying "my accelerator disappeared!". I was like... How does a pedal disappear?! Eventually I had to get out and go over to her side to be able to look under her feet, while tons of people were angrily honking behind us. The pedal just fell in completely. I was able to coax it out and sort of feel where it should be hooked up, so we could leave, and have it properly fixed later. But it sure was a memorable moment...

The American/Canadian Automobile Association sells very good travel health insurance at very reasonable rates, and you don't even have to be a member to buy it (but you do get a slightly cheaper price if you are). And since they sell so much of it, it's accepted without a hassle lots of places. I know this because I actually had to use it once. It's also a lot simpler to buy than most travel health insurance. Just FYI.

I had an ATM not giving back my card once (and hence no money). Bank said they had no access to the machine, and didn't want to call an engineer. Bye, Citibank. And yes, I told that to everyone who mentioned looking for a bank. The faulty machine is one thing, leaving people without card and cash is the failure
Susan 3 weeks ago (edited)
Due to safety concerns (ie. hold-ups) most bank employees no longer have access to service the ATM machines anymore. Instead they use third party armored vehicle services who have the only access to machines. Most of these third parties services will not come out to a machine due to a card being stuck inside. Also, most of these third party services are contractually obligated to destroy/shred any cards found inside. This is not due to the staff or the bank or the armored service staff being rude, they are simple working withing the legal requirements of what their job allows. Yes, I work in a bank and this is how it works. If it's your bank's machine they can order you a new card but if you are at another bank's machine it's up to you to contact your own bank for a replacement card.

Some people think you can't dry stuff in the microwave because it doesn't get hot inside. The last part is true, but a microwave can definitely boil water so that it evaporates from wet stuff. I used the microwave to dry a pair of shorts once, while staying at a motel.

You need it to be slightly warm actually, just so it's a little soft, then it peels off easily. Unless you're really desperate to save the shelf it's worth replacing that though. Then once it's cleaned you need to put an ovenproof container of coffee grounds in on a low heat for a few hours. Otherwise the plastic smell will come back every time you turn the oven on.

FedEx Destroyed My Yard And I Didn’t Even Order Anything
I live at a dead end street. Rather than back straight out they decided to use my front lawn as a driveway. Not the best looking lawn, but I dropped several hundred dollars to try and get grass growing.
BeesEelsAndPups 3 weeks ago (edited)
I lived in a house well outside the city for a while. I had an amazon driver pull into my driveway, then keep driving off my driveway, down a very steep hill after a rainstorm until they got to a wooded area about 100 meters behind my house. When they tried to turn around and go back up the very steep hill that was now quite muddy, they got their car stuck. At which point they decided to try gunning it up the hill, and dug their tires into ruts in the yard. The driver then knocked on my door and asked me for help. It was 23:00 at that point and there was no way to get them out. Our front door was at the front of the house, so I have no idea where this driver thought they were going. I ended up giving the poor driver a ride back to his house at midnight. The next morning he had to call a tow truck that was able to winch his car back up the hill and onto my driveway. There were massive gouges all over the back yard, as he had tried several different ways of getting up the hill.

Landlord Sent Someone Over To Give The Pecan Tree A "Trim"
Mind you, the tree wasn't in the way in regard to the driveway or the foundation, and I never once complained about it other than the occasional smacking of my head on a singular low-hanging branch (I'm five-nothing; that's a really low-hanging branch). I loved having it there despite it constantly raining unripe pecans because it was at the perfect angle to provide ample shade for my truck year-round. Now I have no shade and it's still 90° outside.
Kabuki Kitsune 3 weeks ago (edited)
Pecan trees have one of the widest spread of roots. Far wider than you might expect. Trees of this size, will spread roots 50 to 70 feet from the tree. Looking at the second image, you can see the driveway has already breaking, which is an indication that yes, the root system is already compromising the driveway, and given the proximity to the house, it's entirely likely it's doing the same to the foundation.

The non-permanent damage solution (and not nearly as arrestable as slashing) to all of this if a tow truck won't come out is to let the air out of each tire at the valve. You can use the valve cap itself to push the pin.

In response to 'Kabuki Kitsune's post, we definitely need to do more things for solitary bees, bumble bees. And honey bees are non native in USA, that is the truth. No one can deny that, not even the downvoters. It's even said here in Sweden that to many hives in one place risk food for solitary bees, bumble bees, butterflies etc. Even if "native" here. A studie from 2014 from Sweden say they are organically from Asia, 300 000 years ago. And then spread to Europe, so I guess one could say they are native here by now. But the going extinct have been about honey bees, cause they are easy to use for polinating crops, and if they die because of CCD or alike, this will be more expansive. But this is a whole day of webbinar I I don't know about it all.. But yea much stuff to think about here..

How TF is that LEGAL? I've only ever seen water heaters in the basement or a dedicated closet. (I'm also wondering what exploded; it has no tank, so it's just heating water as it flows through? Tank water heaters need to be professionally installed because if the safety mechanisms aren't done correctly, they can level a home, or even become a rocket capable of astounding altitudes. I'm guessing those are long, thin heating chambers inside a now-destroyed white, plastic shell to prevent flammable or sensitive things coming in contact with a heating chamber. )
Lousha 3 weeks ago
Different places, different rules and different equipment. In the UK it's very common to have a large water heater somewhere tucked away, like in a designated closet, but that would not be connected to the shower/taps of the bathtub. Those are instead often connected to a small, electric, flow-through heater at eye level above the tub/shower. On the other hand, in Hungary you would often see large water heaters with tanks in bathrooms, because often that's the only place they can go.

Seadog 3 weeks ago
You can but it's a frost proof faucet so if it's not turned this way, it won't self drain to prevent freezing. When I built my house, they installed mine then when they poured the front porch, it ended up just like this one. So they turned it and I understood, we can't leave a hose connected. The worst part was in the process of rotating it, they broke the vent cap seen on top here. That part is not serviceable. So I had to JB Weld an automotive freeze plug in the hole just so we could use the faucet.
