50 Times The Universe Decided To Troll One Person Specifically And It Resulted In These Funny Pics
Some days it just feels like the whole world is against you… With car keys left in a vest you just handed to the dry cleaners and your little daredevil shooting their entire breakfast content right on your brand new shirt like an Olympic discus throw champion, you could easily press “skip” and restart the day tomorrow.
But what if I tell you that this is not just a feeling? Sometimes, the universe plays an evil game with us by targeting one person and making it rain all over their head. In fact, there’s a whole corner of Reddit, “Eff You In Particular,” dedicated to precisely such instances.
The community describes itself as “the home of photos, GIFs, and videos of people/things taking comical injuries/beatings/general physical discomfort, while being singled out,” and it really feels all too relatable.
So scroll down through this painfully funny “been there and done that” collection of pics that make you wonder what are the chances... Proving the chances are pretty darn high.

We all have days in our life when the going gets a bit tough. One problem or mishap comes after another, making it feel like the whole world has turned its back against you. All jokes aside, this state of being can be truly detrimental; anxiety creeps in, leaving you sleep-deprived and exhausted. It’s only fair to blame it on bad luck, but is it really a matter of luck we’re talking about in such a case?
We reached out to Dr. Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and author of the multi-award-winning book “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor,” to find out about navigating the miserable times. “There are days, weeks, months and even years when it seems like everything possible goes wrong,” Lise said and added that in her practice, her clients experience this, “and we wind up joking that they are like Job, from the Old Testament.”
I don't inflict or push my views on people. I detest the smell of meat cooking, but would shut window or go out. Despite being absolutely adament about my views, I do not have the right to force them onto others X
Lise continued: “Sometimes life is like that, but there are ways to cope. Maintaining a sense of humor is key, as well as maintaining a sense of perspective. Even many truly unfortunate people still have blessings in their lives. When we are miserable, we tend to focus repetitively on what has gone wrong.”
The clinical psychologist explained that “it will improve your mood to turn your attention to what you do have. Also, remember that life goes on. You won't always be unfortunate; it's a phase.”

When asked about the luck factor, Lise said that it can certainly seem that some people are much unluckier than others. “Life can be random, and tragedies can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Still, we can make choices to improve our "luck." Choosing supportive friends, making time for the people we love, saving extra money for the future, eating healthy foods... all these are examples of ways we can improve our lives.”
According to her, in the long run, “it can seem like we are ‘lucky to have good relationships, savings and good health, but probably we did little things to help us attain these blessings.”

We previously spoke with Lynn How, the author of “Positive Young Minds” who specializes in supporting parents, teachers, and children navigating through mental health issues to find out how to find your way out of such miserable periods. “We’ve all been in those situations where we have a run of seemingly bad luck when we question what on earth we have done to deserve this?” So it’s not only me or you, the world going against you is a universal feeling.
However, when you are in the grips of misery, it may be really hard to see your way out of it. Only after things calm down are you able to reflect and realize that it wasn’t the end of the world. “With situations like these, the phrase, ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ does hold some weight, there are lessons to be learnt about yourself from a bad situation and you need the shadow to appreciate the light,” Lynn said.

Essentially, surviving these dark moments and periods makes us a stronger version of ourselves as we build resilience. “Often you don’t appreciate these lessons when you are in the thick of it and it is only in hindsight that you can spot them. You may notice yourself emerge as a stronger person. It is useful to remember this to help get you through and also that any situation is temporary.”
First of, wherever things feel like they're slipping out of your hands, you gotta let them go. Calming down is key, and so is the realization not everything’s in your control. Tell that to your inner perfectionist!
But there's no such thing as a British accent. Hey..... is someone getting Britain confused with England again?
Well if someone from Boston and someone from Texas went to England, chances are they would describe them as having an "American accent", so there you have it. It's just a generalization because the story doesn't require those specifics. If it said he spoke with and "English Northampton accent", it's just superfluous at that point.

I am a straight woman and I find him very sexy. (Miss that show)
Load More Replies...Most villains in US films are British. Emperor Palpatine? British! Hannibal Lecter? British! Scar from Lion King? British! Hans Gruber? British! And these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Just shows that God love racist Americans then, apparently.
Load More Replies...Yeah, when Americans say British they mean English, and London english at that. Like when they say socialist they mean communist.
Load More Replies...I'm sure it's because a good British accent is about a billion times hotter.
But his American accent is godawful, even to a Brit. Sorry Tom, you're gorgeous, but your American Michael is excruciating.
No, it's because American movies always use British actors for the baddies.
Although, if you ask the British, they will insist that Lucifer speaks with a French accent.
The photo they used for Lucifer is him in the Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover and not even from the show Lucifer itself...
Whoah there don’t lump all of Britain in there, you mean English, everyone hates the English! Also sorry 🥺
On the other hand, his Filipino accent is terrible. Conclude from that what you will. 😁🇵🇭
As an American, which I've always thought to be the dregs of nationality, allow me to wallow in this anti-British sentiment for a bit.
Actually, he has an English accent. Britain being made up of Wales, Scotland ,Ireland and England and Northern Ireland.All VERY different accents.
what do people have with british ? I find them to be genuienly so nice and polite and its such a cozy country :)
Colonialism. I like Britain too, but the colonialism was pretty bad, to put it lightly.
Load More Replies...Ahh because the US doesn't have any gun toting, homophopic racists at all
Load More Replies...Secondly, when you feel miserable, you really want to become your best friend. We tend to lose faith in our capabilities when we are faced with challenges. We also tend to put the blame on and even hate ourselves in crisis for being weak and not in control. Such behavior makes things much worse and we slowly turn into our own most brutal enemies.
Yep. When I was dating a lot, I used to put the guy's first name in my phone, followed by the name of the pub in which I met them...

And thirdly, when feeling down, you may want to surround yourself with positivity. As cliche as it sounds, little things do wonders, like connecting with good old friends or doing activities that you like. People’s positivity will surely reflect onto you, and it’s a timeless way to make yourself feel better.
I wonder how crowded it usually is in the summer at that little break in the border.
I'd probably die well before I reach even 13 miles so I guess maybe he can use that to make himself feel better
Well, when you have eight arms I suppose you have to keep them busy

Last week I lost fifty quid on the same day I also broke my tooth. Yeah bad luck is just my life.
Notice how they are taking the joke and not whining about it?
Load More Replies...So many of these are just bullying, nothing to do with universe or bad luck, just shitty people.
When it comes to bad timing, I think of the leader of this band: “Boys, we have it made! We’re playing the maiden voyage of The Titanic. We’re set for life!”
Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me....
don't know why someone downvoted you friend, I love that camp song
