37 Unfortunate situations that we wouldn’t wish on our worst enemy

It can be so easy to try and compare yourself to others. Scrolling through Instagram could lead you to wish you were on an expensive vacation, or maybe you’re trying to compare your job to your friends. However, there are certain things in life we are very thankful aren’t happening to us, and we wouldn’t even wish it on our worst enemies.

Although these experiences are definitely different degrees of unfortunate, it’s safe to say that most people wouldn’t want any of these things to happen to them.

Nightmare Fuel

I hate it when a bug even touches my face.

If I had all of these on me, I would probably be screaming and running around in circles. I’m starting to feel a little itchy all of a sudden…

Something Went Wrong

Bachelorette parties can get pretty wild, and it’s safe to assume that this one was probably out of control.

We don’t know the full story, but I have my theories.

Imagine Playing The Guitar Like This

This guy turned on the wrong burner and then grabbed a metal bowl that was sitting above the flame. He ended up with blisters on all of his fingertips.

Hopefully, he doesn’t do much of his work on a computer.

DIY Fuzzy Steering Wheel Cover

This person posted this picture of their moldy car on Reddit, and people freaked out. How does this even happen? How do you go about fixing it?

This poor soul…

Hold On For Dear Life

This family was crossing a bridge and someone must have captured the moment when EVERYTHING went wrong.

I feel bad for the person on the bottom because they were probably the victim of a dogpile.

A Mistake Was Made

This poor little girl was sent flying headfirst into the blocks at a Trampoline park.

Honestly, at least she had something to cushion her fall, but from personal experience, those blocks don’t soften the blow entirely when you hit them HARD.

The Man With The Shriveled Hand

This person decided that it would be a good idea to speak to a friend for 30 minutes in a grocery store parking lot while holding all of his grocery bags in freezing cold weather.

Was the conversation really worth the pain, though?

Grocery Cart Down

This person’s grocery cart literally broke while they were shopping.

I hope that this person was not hurt when it fell over, but this would also probably be pretty funny to witness.

This Sad Going Away Card

This person shared a photo of their leaving card after working a job for 5 years with over 500 people.

There’s only like 3 signatures, which is pretty upsetting considering the number of employees.

A Rough Day

This person came home late from work and dropped their open sandwich in the parking lot. So, they decided to make pasta instead, but the handle on his pot decided to break and his pasta went EVERYWHERE.

At this point, he should just order in.

Frozen Assets

This person lives in Svalbard, Norway, and forgot to close the window to his home office. This isn’t just a layer of snow, it’s a few layers.

All in all, this is a pretty tragic occurrence.

Forgotten Passport

This Reddit user went to the bathroom and saw that someone had forgotten their passport there.

Hopefully, he was able to return it to the person, because when you lose a passport, traveling is never the same.

Rice Is The New Litter

This person turned their back for a minute and caught their cat in the middle of peeing into a container of 20 cups of uncooked rice… Yikes.

Looks like they have to head back to the grocery store and pick up some more rice.

An Unfortunate Allergy

After years of casual drinking, this person developed alcohol intolerance and their skin started to look like this after only one drink.

This is also a potential sign of liver damage, so I’d get that checked out if I were them.

Mission Failed

I’m not sure if the wife was the right person for the task.

This is a classic example of when someone says they’re fine to do something on their own but in reality, have NO idea what they’re doing.

Time Is Money

This Domino’s delivery car was stuck with everyone else for over 20 minutes as a train was passing through.

He was probably trying really hard to keep it together. I hope he still gets a tip.

At Least They Know He Likes It

We’ve probably all experienced the awkward experience of pretending to like a gift that just isn’t it.

This grandpa opened a Christmas gift to see that someone had gotten him the exact same shirt that he was already wearing. His smile says it all though, so I think he doesn’t mind.

Trying To Even It Out

This man has the right idea that he needs to even out his tan so his top half matches his legs.

What he hasn’t yet realized, though, is that without a shirt on, his back will just keep tanning and his legs will never catch up.

You Should Have Waited Your Turn

The car on the left apparently tried to race through the toll booth without paying but didn’t get very far thanks to the car that was already in the toll lane.

Rookie mistake.

Don’t Trust Everything You Read On The Internet

Even the all-knowing source that is Google still makes the occasional mistake.

This mistake, in particular, seems to have happened enough that someone took it into their own hands to make a sign to warn others.

Know When To Hold ‘Em And When To Fold ‘Em

The person who owns this crumpled up garage door woke up to it like this after someone apparently drove into it in the middle of the night and then proceeded to drive away.

What a terrible neighbor.

This Was Not Handled With Care

Initially, these people thought that their brand new television was $1000 well spent, but now they’re rethinking that.

You’d think that for a grand, you’d get something that was a little more durable.

It Tipped Him Right Over The Handlebars

This person doesn’t seem to be very good at riding a bike if they ended up lined up with the sidewalk cracks.

No wonder the bike wanted to tip them off the seat.

That’s How You Learn A Lesson

The look of joy on that dad’s face tells us that he told his son he was going to get stuck if he tried to stick his head in that window grate, but his son chose not to listen so here we are.

Kids never listen.

Left For The Morning Crew

You know when you procrastinate something or choose to leave a certain task for someone else to do? That’s what the night crew did when they saw this broken shipment.

The morning crew wasn’t able to get out of cleaning it up.

And Not A Match Was Found That Day…

Washing machines and dryers have been known to eat a sock or two when you do a load of laundry, but what about 30 socks?

This dad had to deal with the reality that he had 30 socks in front of him, none of which had a matching pair.

An Old-Fashioned Stand-Off

Normally, if you were looking to kill a spider in your house, you would grab a piece of toilet paper or maybe a Kleenex to squish it.

This spider has figured out that strategy, though, and now you’ve got to figure out something else.

Helping Out a Man In Need

Unfortunately, three hours of that weekend were spent with him stuck in the shower of his hotel room.

We’d love to know whoever came up with the idea for this photoshoot.

Who thought it would be a good idea to take a laptop this close to the water?

Don’t Text And Ride

Thank goodness this person’s bike tire was there to catch their phone when it slipped out of their hand while riding to work!

What a disaster it would have been if it had fallen onto the pavement.

Eating Healthy Is Too Much Work

Take this as a sign that the health kick you’re trying to start is not the right path for you.

Stick to easier-access snacks that won’t injure you when you try to eat them.

You Could Probably Dry Them Out…

This is a day where the people who live at this house are definitely dreaming about what it would be like to have a community mailbox or at least a front porch to protect their packages.

Hopefully nothing was damaged.

It Was Perfectly Sorted

These tiny colorful beads came in a perfectly sorted package.

That package, however, when opened upside down by the child living in this house, did not keep all the beads sorted.

Who Has This Kind Of Confidence?

The person whose feet actually belong in that seat went to the bathroom and came back to this.

Naturally, the clear solution is to return to your seat and put your chair back as far as possible.

I Always Wondered What It Looked Like Under Those Stovetops

The same day that this person installed a brand new glass-top stove, the cabinet mounted above their stove decided it would be a good day to break and release all the pots and pans that are normally stored within it.

That’s bad timing!

This Photo Is Not Of Their Child

One adult just found out they’ve been living a lie for years. Their parents have this photo hanging in their house and recently revealed that it’s the photo that came with the frame.

The photo is not of their child, despite previously telling him it was.

The Dog Was Snooping

This family learned the hard way that they shouldn’t leave things like their wallets unattended in an area that their dog can reach.

He apparently has a dislike for cash money.
