People Who Just Can’t Catch A Break

Burtland Dixon|Life|9 Jun 2023

Not every day can be a bad day for everyone, but every day is someone's bad day.

You never know what someone experienced a few hours before you two linked up together. He or she could have had paint spilled all over their face or even had a sink thrown at their car. Take a moment and see if any of these moments will make you feel better about your off days.

Small Crash Acts As Makeup Remover

Unfortunately for the passenger in the back seat, their face hit the headrest pretty hard. You can see how much makeup was on this person as well. Fortunately, it wasn't too bad.

Never have I ever seen a car turn into anything like this. Hopefully, insurance covered this mess for her because it looks like she needs a new vehicle at this point.

When People Don't Believe Your Real Name

Having an awesome or different name can be bothersome for some people. They might not believe you if it sounds like your name sounds like something out of an action movie. Just ask Hunter Fisher what happened to him.

Who Deserves This?

Some people on this earth are horrible humans, and that's understood. Do they deserve a sink thrown at the back of their parked car? It depends on what they did, but this was likely an overreaction.

Dropped The Ring Right After Proposing

Proposing is one of the scariest things a guy can do. What if she says no? Worse, what if you lose the ring in the process? That's what happened to him.

"My roof caved in last night..."

Wow. What is the first thing you do when this happens? Do you hope nothing important broke with the impact? Do you request to move to a new room, or what?

Tough Day On The Job

I can't imagine what other tough days at Home Depot look like if this is just one of them. Who knows? This employee could have spilled pounds of soil over or dropped loads of nails.

This ATM Shut Down With His Card Inside

If an ATM ever dared to shut down while my card remained inside, there's no telling how I would react. That's a scary thing to worry about when using those machines.

Oh, The Irony

Photo Credit: kiwisdotpng/Reddit

Getting a papercut while opening a package of Band-Aids is pretty ironic. That's a paper cut too, one of the worst of its kind. They hurt so much for something so little.

What A Siberian Summer Looks Like

If this isn't gross to you, then I don't know what is. It must get extremely humid out there for these bugs to be all over like this. She isn't even flinching!

Must Have Missed The Memo

Whoever parked here probably didn't get the memo about the roadwork. There's probably a pricey ticket waiting on the windshield for this driver as well. How do you get out of this?

Hitting A Pothole Doing 70 MPH Looks Like...

At first, I thought that was a miniature football inside of the tire. Turns out, this driver hit a pothole while going 70 mph. An ice pack probably could have brought the swelling down.

Meeting Your Demise

It looks like someone met their doom cartoon-style after they slipped on this banana peel. The skid mark is pretty long, so they probably injured a hip or their groin.

Dragged By The Dog

Everyone loves dogs until they overpower you and drag you through the mud like a ragdoll. Take a look at this pic and ponder how sore this person's behind was after this.

Demonstration Gone Wrong

Not every demonstration goes well, and here is a perfect example of that. This kid played with the fire hose during a Coast Guard demo and ended up spraying one over the ledge!

Threw The Whole Swatter At The Fly...

This person threw the whole swatter at the fly and this was the result. It goes without saying that the fly probably survived this vicious attack and laughed in their face.

Roomba Goes Crazy And Doesn't Stop

This Roomba ran over some puppy poo and didn't stop cleaning the house. Not recognizing that it was itself the main issue, it made things worse for the owner of the vacuum.

"Their Flight Left 2 Hours Ago"

Photo Credit: czmax/Reddit

Missing an international flight isn't fun. They should add tracking devices to passports so you can locate them with your phone if you misplace yours. How many people do you think have experienced this?

This Is Awkward...

Photo Credit: @alfie_bond99/Twitter

Did this patient get this news in front of everyone? If that's the case, then yes, this is pretty bad. No one wants others to hear they're too large for the people-machines.

You're Officially Lame

This is no longer a Ford Fiesta Flame. This driver has the privilege of cruising around in a Ford Fiesta Lame until deciding to get that lettering fixed. How long would you want to stay lame?

Buys New Headphones, Dog Eats Them

The guilt on this dog's face is enough to condemn their whole kind. I can't imagine how bummed this person felt after discovering their $300 headphones didn't last longer than a month.

When You Don't Strap The Egg Trolleys In Properly...

Transporting eggs in trucks is pretty safe if you follow all the directions properly. If you forget to strap them in, you can easily waste 10,500 eggs like this driver so tragically did.

Lunch Is Served

After spending so much time crafting a lasagna for lunch, this is the last thing you want in your life. Now, whoever this happened to probably has to go out and buy food.

UPS Driver Messed Up

Depending on what was inside of this package, this person must feel betrayed. It was his own delivery driver that did it to him, too, making things that much worse.

Dog Finds Dad's Wallet

Somehow, the family pooch found where daddy's wallet was and decided to take matters into her own paws. It looks like there are some $20 bills mixed in with some smaller ones, so that isn't fun.

Old Printer Doesn't Go Out Without A Fight

A guy exchanged his printer for a brand new one, but the old machinery didn't want to go out without a fight. As you can see, it spat and kicked its way out of there.

"Someone's Car Crashed Into The Pool"

No one wants to drive their car into the water, but sometimes, that situation is unavoidable. For whatever reason, this SUV drove right into this pool and I wonder why.

First Time Making Apple Sauce

Usually, people experience what you call beginner's luck when it's their first time doing something. Unfortunately for this person, their first time making apple sauce didn't end as well as planned.

Leather Gloves Shrink After Wash

This person found out the hard way what happens after you leave leather gloves in the washing machine. Now, he can donate them to his nephew or someone smaller than him.

When the sun beams down on your back on a hot day and you have a backpack on, you better hope you aren't a sweater. If you are, you'll end up like this lad.

Mom And Dad Would Be So Proud

prof_rtpa/Twitter

A kid like this probably did it on purpose. Wet cement is everyone's dream come true. You can be artistic and leave your mark for everyone to see. Here we have a kid who failed to grind on the wet cement. At least he got to leave his mark forever.

First Day On The Job, Paint Truck Crashes

uniladmag/Facebook

Nobody would ever expect this to happen, especially if it's your first day on the job in the contracting industry. Clearly, this newbie forgot to close the paint lids and all hell broke loose afterward. Who cares about the truck, he’s going to need a bath more than once over the course of the week.

If Usain Bolt Can Run Fast, Anything Is Possible

Hippos might be big, but don't underestimate them. They can come after you when you least expect it. Once they do, you have to pull a Forrest Gump. With some glimmer of hope, you’ll be as fast as Usain Bolt. This would be hilarious if it were to happen at a zoo.

Great, Now I Can't Take My Afternoon Bathroom Break

This sort of thing makes you want to puke a little bit. Seeing a wet roll of toilet paper is disturbing and the least appealing thing ever. When something like this happens, it totally ruins your afternoon bathroom break. No one is really going to fish out that roll anyway.

Where's The Beef, Ronald?

Imgur

This why so many customers get disgruntled. McDonald's employees really know how to grind our gears. It’s the simplest things like only ketchup on a McDouble that they would gaff on. Their mindset was not there from the beginning so they just decided to wing it with not a single care.

It's Like Jaws, But In Real Life

dewpointstudios/Pinterest

Not even Steven Speilberg could have created this in his Jaws series. But you know what, this would be the most badass movie scene to ever come across cinema. What's worse is the fact that this isn’t a movie and a shark is so close to eating this guy for dinner.

Friday Night Is Ruined Thanks To This

Every pizza fanatic's nightmare becomes a reality. You and your friends get excited about the pizza you just ordered. Once it comes, the second you open it, all the cheese is ripped off, mainly because it’s too hot to eat. This is sadder than the ending of Titanic.

Much Worse Than A Game Of Jenga

Good luck trying to bounce back from this. It's really worse than a game of Jenga. The only difference is that you actually have to clean up this mess, unlike picking up the pieces of the Jenga tower. You know what though, working in an egg factory does have it struggles, and this sums up why.

They're Gonna Feel That One In The Morning

Let's hope this poor soul wasn’t ringed up in the private area. The annual tradition of the Running of the Bull is like Christmas in Spain. You see it on YouTube, including the victims who get run over by the bull themselves. No matter what, those bumps and bruises will be there for weeks.

Insurance Won't Be Too Happy About This

Insurance-Wont-Be-Too-Happy-With-This-78411-22556-23550

Mlk/YouTube

Once you call insurance and tell them what happened, they're gonna think twice about what you said. Nine expensive cars were tipped over and they probably cost more than this guy’s salary. Just think about the people who bought the cars — they are going to be so devastated about this.

The Moment You Regret Not Buying Your Parents Car

vamadhatter/Pinterest

When your parents are looking for a new car and they offer you their current one, TAKE IT. This is the sole reason why most people don't want to deal with taking public transportation. Nobody wants to see that and clearly, the look on the girl’s face just reeks of instant regret.

Wait, That's Not The Sun…

Not-The-Beef-Stew-She-Was-Looking-For-56264-27467-75110

kneal3984417/Pinterest

The second the dog passes gas, this girl is going to start screaming and shed some tears. As funny as this looks, you wouldn't want to be on the receiving of the dog’s disgusting beef stew smell. Man’s best friend doesn’t care — they think humans are walking fire hydrants.

So Close To Quitting Your Job

danieldimovski/Pinterest

That would suck. Coming so close to winning the jackpot, only to have been off by one number. The moment you see this, you're heading straight to the fridge and grabbing a cold one. It may take you some time to recover from this loss since you were so close to quitting work for good.

Welcome To High School, Freshman

fkiefel/Pinterest

You're probably asking yourself, how did this happen? Well, this guy probably annoyed his sister’s friends, who happened to be seniors. This poor freshman got the initiation most ninth graders fear the most. Even the cop can’t take this seriously, it’s just too funny. It’ll take hours for all that tape to come off.

Spider, Can You Hear Me?

agaczyska1864/Pinterest

A lot of people have a fear of spiders. It's their eyes and legs that creep out people the most. She doesn’t know it yet, but once this spider crawls around near her face, she’ll be screaming louder than anyone going into labor. After this, she’s not going to want to tan ever again.

He's Going To Need A Lifetime Supply Of Jocks

Theres-A-Thing-Called-Jocks-93511-50035-37533

The Fumble/YouTube

A ceremonial first pitch at this Red Sox game didn't end well. The ball made its way towards the photographer and hit him in the sensitive area. Sure, he’s going to have to wear a jock after that, but at least the pitch didn’t come from a hard throwing arm like Chris Sale.

For Some Reason, He Just Had To Go To The Playground

For-Some-Reason-He-Just-Had-To-Get-To-The-Playground-58273-99153-25757

arilovegirl/Pinterest

Anytime you see this, it should remind you of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. If you have no idea, then look it up and watch the video. It’s rather bizarre to see a grown man get stuck in a coil. It would be terrible if a bunch of kids played around him too.

The Chef's Assistant Was A Little Too Curious

Curiousity-Killed-The-Cat-77063-77526-36137

spklovestheusa/Reddit

If you have a cat, you'll understand this. As cute and furry as they come, cats can be a little 'you know what,’ especially when they want to lend a helping hand in the kitchen. They’re just there to destroy what you’re making for dinner and claim it for themselves. We’re on to you, kittens!

So Much For Waiting In Line

EeSeeZee/Pinterest

It's happened before and it won’t stop. Getting stuck on a roller coaster is bad for anxiety, especially if it’s before the first drop. Something like this would suck after you and your friends stood in line for a long time to enjoy the roller coaster. But sadly, you have to wait for the technicians.

When You're The Last One Out Of Bed In The Military

Thats-What-You-Get-For-Being-The-Last-One-Out-Of-Bed-81732-24883-55560

WeAreTheMighty/Pinterest

Welcome to the military, where if you're the last one out of bed, this is the cruel punishment you get. This soldier probably had the ultimatum of doing this or unclogging the toilets in all the bathrooms. Even if he has to do both, he should pound the alarm next time.

Just Trying To Get Off The Bus

justtryingtocatchthebus-90507-91530-24905

Reaction Time/YouTube

This lady was just trying to squeeze off the bus at the last second when something went terribly wrong. The problem is that she's at the back of the bus, so the bus driver might not know what’s happened for quite some time. At least she’ll get some fresh air!

How Do You Even Do That?

Ibbster121/Pinterest

There is a very good reason why those traffic cones were there. They were put there so that nobody ended up driving their car into the wet cement. But hey, looks like someone did it, anyway. We hope that they have good car insurance that covers hardened cement all over their car.

Who Is Having The Worse Day?

ReactiCorns/YouTube

We're not sure who’s having the worse day in this picture. Is it the baby that’s about to take a bit of a tumble into the sand? Or the mother who has to live with the fact that she dropped her baby and there’s a picture to prove it? Luckily, this is sand so we’re sure the baby is okay.

One Trip Only

lobinatransport/Pinterest

Attempting to only take one trip makes sense when you're unloading something like groceries. But when it comes to a truckload of bricks, maybe it’s a better idea to just suck it up and take two. These guys learned the hard way and made quite a mess for themselves and probably lost their jobs.

Hope They Like Yellow

abeitajasmine/Pinterest

It really doesn't get a whole lot worse than this. But do we really feel all that bad for their situation? Not really. Clearly, they didn’t take the precautions necessary when you’re driving with paint on the car. Also, what did they do, get into a high-speed chase with the cops?

Roasted

If you've ever had a really nasty sunburn, we’re sure that you can feel this poor woman’s pain. Not only is she probably overheating inside of her own skin, but she can look forward to the next few days of excruciating pain and maybe a trip to the dermatologist to make sure she doesn’t have skin cancer.

Just Wanted To Relax

joysinisi/Pinterest

This little old lady just wanted to sit on this conveniently placed bench for a quick rest. What she didn't know is that the bench was still wet with paint. The other problem is that she still probably won’t know until she either gets home or is stuck to the bench. Good thing her blouse is red too.

So That's Why My Package Never Came

tonycaldero/Pinterest

This is one of those situations where you can kiss your job goodbye. If we were that guy we wouldn't either bother trying to fix anything. He’s probably better off ditching the truck, buying a plane ticket out of the country, and pretending that nothing ever happened.

Automobeele

Besides figuring out how to get all of these bees off this car, the real conundrum is how long was this car sitting here for this to happen. Did the owner stop by the grocery store and come out only to see their car covered in bees? We hope not because that would be horrifying.

Came Out Of Nowhere!

arlaps/Pinterest

When it comes to having a bad day, we're not even talking about the motorcycle rider. Think about the poor deer! It was just frolicking on the road before it got hit by a motorized vehicle! Let’s hope it just did a flip and landed perfectly on his feet.
