People who are having a worse day than you

We all have rough days, but some experiences truly take the cake. Imagine having to face the world with a missing front tooth simply because your dentist suddenly closed—yep, that’s just the start.

Ahead are plenty more stories that’ll make you grateful you’re not in their shoes. So the next time things go sideways, remember these folks and how they handled life’s unexpected curveballs.

Someone threw a rock through this person’s window at four in the morning. Honestly, how cruel can you be?

This isn’t just a harmless joke—you seriously wrecked someone’s day for no reason.

You can practically see the heartbreak in his eyes just from this photo. Even if you don’t know the first thing about Minecraft, three years of effort is clearly no small feat.

Fingers crossed the internet came through and helped him recover his world with a hard drive restore after that emotional outburst.

This poor guy had been undergoing dental work for a month.

This is the last thing you want when you’re just trying to enjoy a glass of wine.

Surely there’s a better way to open a bottle that doesn’t lead to total disaster.

Nothing Close To A Stage

A graduate sits quietly at the student desk, waiting for her turn to receive her degree.

It’s a shame some students had to go through this—definitely not the graduation day they had imagined.

Try Again Tomorrow

Very few people would know what to do if their car door literally fell apart on its own—other than call in late to work.

So, yeah, that’s exactly what you should do.

It’s No Longer A Secret If They’re All Dead…

Just imagine this fortune cookie ending up with the wrong person… Yikes. Honestly, what kind of twisted message is this?

Even something generic like “You will have a nice day” would’ve been way more appropriate than suggesting you eliminate two people just to protect your secrets.

Imagine the doors of your fridge falling off right in the middle of lockdown.

After stocking up on all that food, you’d be scrambling to either fix it quickly or find a replacement fast!

Where’s The Ply??

At this rate, you might as well ditch the roll and use your hand.

You’ll be frantically spinning it, hoping to grab enough before things take a very unfortunate turn.

What A Steal!

Imagine thinking you scored an awesome 25% discount—only to save absolutely nothing. That’s how these delivery apps reel you in.

They flash a “promotion” at checkout, but by the time the service and delivery fees are added, you’re often paying just as much (if not more) than you would’ve without the so-called deal.

So Close, Yet So Far

“Close” only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades.

So in this case, all you’re left with is the shattered dream of that beach house you almost bought with your near-miss winnings.

Now What?

What do you do if the people who are supposed to be the ones putting out the fire manage to end up being the people who are also on fire?

You panic.

This Doesn’t Look Safe

I’ve never seen water pouring out of an outlet like this, and I really hope it’s safe.

It definitely looks like anyone who gets too close could end up getting shocked!

What are the odds that this charger would navigate through all these other wires and hit the switch so perfectly?

Whoever this happened to lost their work to a miracle.

You Can Keep The Phone

It’s going to be expensive to replace and her parents weren’t thrilled about the fact that she was careless enough to drop her phone in the first place.

But nobody is going to make her go in there.

While construction was underway, the governor in this person’s state issued an order to shut down businesses—including construction and contracting work.

The problem? The workers hadn’t finished the only bathroom in her house before the shutdown.

Losing Your Groceries Isn’t Fun

After you spend all your hard-earned cash on the essential foods you need, you don’t want to lose your bag.

But someone did, and I can feel their agony now.

The Cat Didn’t Care

Makeup isn’t cheap, and neither is a cat. It becomes really expensive when your pet starts messing up other things that cost a lot.

Did it have to knock it in the litter box?

Losing Your Berries

A perfectly good batch of blueberries down the drain.

You don’t understand the pain he probably felt at that moment unless you recognize blueberries are a luxury of this world.

Snacks Make It All Better

In their defense, they probably couldn’t even get their car into a legal parking spot if the tires are slashed.

Let’s hope the parking police took pity on them… Or that whatever snack they got helped them through the breakdown of coming back to a towed car.

Gamers Know What This Means

This person said this was theirs for 11 years, but it finally received the ring of death.

If your Xbox did this, there was no coming back from this redness.

Would you punish your dog if he did something like this?

I’d probably have a laugh filled with some anger, but who knows? He must have wanted to play really bad.

There Goes The Food

There’s not much you can do here except decide if you want to waste your time and make another batch.

A dumbbell and toothpaste don’t go together.

If you cherish your car as some people do and you come outside to this, your heart might stop.

Forgetting to put the top up is probably the result of a long night.

The Kids Waste It

This was the last roll of toilet paper in the house.

For some reason, the kids thought they would make it go away faster than usual by spinning it into the water!

You’ve Entered The Lion’s Den

According to the person who posted this photo on Reddit, these gentlemen had no idea that there were lions around their camp until they saw the photo.

Hopefully they adopted the Hakuna Matata state of mind.

Waiting For The Drip, Drip, Drop

It’s like a water balloon hanging above your head, waiting to be popped at any moment.

When that moment comes you hopefully won’t be without your raincoat or umbrella.

At Least You Know Now

This girl went for an allergy test to see if she was allergic to anything.

It turns out she’s allergic to everything they tested. Better to know sooner rather than later!

That’ll Be A Chilly Drive To Work

When you live in a place that’s known for blizzards you always have to make sure you roll your windows up.

Or else you’ll come out to a car filled with snow.

Time To Get Some Steps In

All those times that you said you were going to start walking to work, now’s the day that you’re finally going to do it.

And any day forward until those bees find a new home.

You Can Cry Over This Spill

You’re not supposed to waste your tears on crying over spilled milk.

But you can cry if you’re the person who has to clean up this tower of olive oil that crashed down.

No Dinner For You

This person came home late from work wanting nothing more but to eat, especially since they had dropped their sandwich in the parking lot. They go to make pasta, and the first pot slips and pours all over the ground.

So they make a second pot and the handle just breaks and the pasta goes everywhere. In the end, they never got to eat and just cried instead.

Paycheck Well Earned

Working at a small coffee shop might seem really indie and cute until your boss accidentally pours unroasted beans into a batch of roasted ones.

That’s how this person ended up having to separate 10,000 beans…by hand.

Confirmed Delivery With Photo Proof

The longest wait is the one where you wait for your food to arrive once you submit a delivery.

Now imagine getting all excited for your Doordash delivery only to receive this as your confirmation photo…I mean it did arrive… it’s just no longer eatable.

All They Wanted Was A Drink

This poor guy got up in the middle of the night, probably still half asleep, to get a drink of water.

When they opened the fridge the door fell off in their hand. What do you even do at that point? I’d crawl back to bed, hope it was a bad dream, and make it a tomorrow problem.

Why does this man look like Justin Bieber’s failed attempt at cloning himself? Honestly, this is the worst of all possible worlds.

You’re just trying to look good, and this is the painful, swollen result.

You know how they say honesty is the best policy? Sometimes not saying anything at all is even better.

One Too Many Glasses Did This

Drinking wine is an experience. It relaxes you, or if you drink enough, it will turn you into an animal.

I’m guessing the latter happened here, or this person is just clumsy.

A Quarantine Crash

It takes skill to get into an accident when there are only seven people on the road.

This crash happened two days into quarantine, when the streets were super empty, depending on where you live.

Try Again In Five Days

Somehow this person’s phone died and when they plugged in the charger, this message came up. Either someone is lying to them and tried very hard to get into their phone when they weren’t looking or technology is finally outsmarting us.

Either way, the phone can’t seem to find a signal, so it’s not much use to them right now anyway.
