It’s normal to hope or even expect that things will always go our way. Unfortunately, that’s simply not how life works. And as much as we want to keep Lady Luck by our sides, she just often wanders off without prior notice. Well, a lot of people can certainly attest to that. And these photos of things gone wrong are proof that not every day is bound to be a good day.
From burning your tongue, spilling your coffee to stepping on your pet’s poop, and more, a lot of things can indeed go wrong in just a single day. But with nearly eight billion people in the world, it’s only safe to assume that some people are having it worse than you. So, if today hasn’t been kind to you, we hope you’ll find comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

“One thing I won’t ever do again is build a snow dalek. I did that when we lived at our old house as the kids were into Dr Who. I learnt that when snowdaleks start to melt, they upset the neighbours”

In fact, instead of sulking, other people are even sharing their stories of misfortune online. And while it’s wrong to delight in other people’s misery, their stories will definitely make you feel a little less awful about your current situation. But if you’re just as “lucky” as them, then you’ve probably experienced the same tragedy at one point in your life. Apparently, there are some lessons in life which we ought to learn the hard way. And more often than not, we have no control over these things.

“I cleaned the cat’s litter box and brought the bag with me to throw away in my outdoor trash can on the way to work. I also brought my lunch. Guess which one got thrown away and which one came to work with me.”

“Aaaand there go my $300 headphones”

However, you can definitely control how you react to these things. So, after a few minutes of ranting about how terrible your day was, move on, and just take it as a lesson. We know, it’s easier said than done, so it’s okay even if you take a while to adopt this mindset. In the meantime, you might want to learn from other people’s experiences to avoid making the same mistake.
We surely won’t wish these disasters even upon our worst enemies!
