Brightside

We all have our bad days. But whether we want to admit it or not, most of us get a certain sense of pleasure from seeing someone else having a worst day than we are. So, if you’re having a really bad day, then here are some funny images of other people’s misfortune that will make you glad you’re not them.

 

MRI Causes Magnetic Mayhem

Brightside

Holy cow! This is why you never let an intern work the MRI machine… ever! Looks like they turned the machine on just a little too high, and accidentally opened up a black hole that started sucking everything in. It’s also giving us some serious “Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines” vibes.

 

They Got Stuck on a Roller Coaster

LOLWOT

There’s no worse place to get stuck in than when you’re going up a roller coaster. It’s like a “Final Destination 3” scene. These people were already nervous getting on the ride, but after it broke down and they remained seated like this, it’s safe to say they’ll never get on a roller coaster again.

 

Driver Left a Trail of Chicken

Brightside

Clearly, the chicken did not cross the road, but a bunch of them did cause a traffic jam after they fell off a truck. Yup! Pretty much the worst day ever for that driver. Just look at all that poultry wasted! Someone’s losing their job today.

 

Mother Nature Attacked This Car

LOLWOT

Most people have heard of stories of branches falling off and crushing their cars, but they hope they’ll never have to be on the receiving end of Mother Nature’s fury. Unfortunately, for this red car and its owner, they were. But maybe their insurance covered acts of nature.

 

Angry Hawk Destroyed His Bedroom

The Kansas City Star

You think you’re having a bad day? Be grateful you didn’t have an angry hawk fly through your glass window. It wrecked everything in Drew Arnold’s south Kansas City bedroom. It also took a poop all over the place, and then smiled as it was safely escorted out of the room. It sounds like it’s going to take a lot of work to get that room all nice and clean.

 

Dog Snacked on Owner’s Passport

Good Housekeeping

Quick! Hide all of the things you don’t want your dog to munch on. You can’t really turn your back on them. They’ll eat through anything from shoes to pillows to sofas and oh, yes, passports. This woman is country bound until she can get a new passport and that doggy has a lot to answer for.

 

The Road Became an Omelet Disaster

Brightside

We’ve heard of the saying “you can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.” But aren’t you suppose to crack them over a frying pan? Poor truck driver! Sadly, the loss will probably come out of their pay, too.

 

Bus Splashes You With Mud Rain

Diply

You’re walking down the street, minding your own business on a rainy day when wham! A big old bus passes by at light speed and splashes you with muddy rain water and turns you into something loosely resembling “Swamp Thing.” To add insult to injury, it left a clear silhouette on the wall bordered by mud where you were standing.

 

The Wine Store That Wined Down

Dumpaday

A sales clerk couldn’t wait to end their shift and have a glass of wine. But the screw on the wine shelf broke 15 minutes because the store closed. Hopefully, he managed to find one bottle that was intact. Something tells us he needed it as he cried his way to the unemployment line.

 

It Was Game Over Before It Started

Diply

If you thought you could unwind by playing Minesweeper, think again! After that awful first attempt results in failure, the next thing you should do is click on the X and close the window. Then again, it’s not like you can do any worse than this. But with your luck, you never know.

 

Shoe Store Has a Serious Sorting Problem

Brightside

They said that working at a shoe store would be nice and quiet. Then this happened. It looks like a hurricane ripped through the store, and we’d hate to be the poor sap who has to tidy this up before closing time.

 

Coffee Spilled on Sports Host’s Pants

High Heel Got Stuck in a Drain Grill

After you went through all the trouble of picking these gorgeous silver high heeled shoes, it seems like all of your efforts went down the drain when the tip of the heel got stuck on the drain grill. But at least it wasn’t dog poop or bubble gum.

 

She Got a Ball to the Face

Twenty Two Words

Talk about not seeing it coming! Now she never will. Either her eyeglasses broke when the ball hit her face, or they broke when she lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Perhaps someone should have explained the rules of dodgeball to her before starting the game.

 

The Toilet Seat Was Too Small

Diply

This person learned the hard way that all toilet seats aren’t designed to fit every toilet. Maybe the owners should have ignored the salesperson who told them that toilet seats came in standard sizes and taken measurements of the toilet bowl first.

 

They Left Their Tablet Out in the Rain

Crafty Diply

This tablet owner was undoubtedly struggling to figure out where their tablet was all night.

The Keys Were Left Inside Armored Truck

Bored Panda

Armored trucks are supposed to keep money safe. Well, this truck just got a little safer after the driver left the keys inside and locked up. At least the armored truck is doing its job. Maybe the driver should consider sticking a hide-a-key under the rear bumper assuming there is a next time.

 

Their Basement Became a Skating Rink

Diply

These homeowners forgot to prepare their home for winter. As a result, their basement was flooded with water, which eventually became frozen. But sometimes you have to look at life with a bit of optimism. At least now these folks have their own private ice skating rink.

 

Mirror Breaks Mr. X’s Anonymity

Bored Panda

They had one job, which was to keep Mr. X’s identity protected. But censoring his face doesn’t do squat if the guy is sitting next to a mirror. When the newspaper posted the photo, it revealed the guy’s face. They could have written a retraction that said, “pay no attention to the man in the mirror,” but it was probably too late.

 

The Help Sign Illiterates Will Never Read

Diply

If you don’t like answering phones, then you should work at this place. The phones will never ring because someone posted a help sign for illiterates to call to learn how to read. But to an illiterate person, this sign might as well be written in Polish for all the good it’s going to do them.

 

Two Brothers Awarded Different Lottery Amounts

Bored Panda

The Lion Arm Tattoo Looks Childish

The Fan Who Got his Woody’s Mixed Up

Bored Panda

A man named Josh went to get his book signed by the author, but mistook Woody Harrelson for Woody Allen. Clearly, Harrelson doesn’t get that very often. So, he clarified who he really was. And besides, the book wasn’t even written by Woody Allen. The author’s last name was Picador, so it was a double disappointment.

 

Potty Training Is Not Meant for Kitties

Diply

This cat owner was trying to potty train their cat so that their house would end up being cleaner. But the owner and their cat failed to pass this test. Maybe they should have just stuck with tradition and gotten their kitty a litter box. There’s a reason why that’s worked so well all these years.

 

This Guy Lost a Hand Opening the Fridge

Demilked

This guy had a prosthetic arm that made him look like a modern day “Six Million Dollar Man.” But he soon discovered that technology isn’t always reliable when he went to open the fridge and his arm detached from his hand unit. Fortunately, he still had his other hand.

 

Newlyweds Pose in Front on Burning Car

Bored Panda

This couple had just gotten married, but they didn’t start off very well. Their car had exploded on the highway.

Some Kids Never Move Out

Diply

Not All Cars Drive Well at the Beach

They Left Their Passport in the Bathroom

Demilked

They went to use the bathroom at the airport and left their passport on the railing inside one of the stalls. They went nuts looking for the passport and the tickets, but by the time they found them, the flight had already left two hours earlier. So, next time you travel, leave your passport and tickets in your carry-on.

 

They Encountered a Fork in the Road

The Ferry Boat Tipped Over

Diply

This poor guy on the dock was having a bad day. He was probably calling his insurance provider to see if they covered a ferry boat tipping over, causing some of the cars to fall into the bay. And we’re fairly certain this guy’s boss wasn’t going to be happy either. But at least, there was no one onboard the cars when this happened.

 

They Spilled Paint All Over the Road

Bored Panda

These poor workers. It looks like they were about to paint the outside of this person’s apartment when the bucket of paints spilled all over the road. You can almost hear the thoughts of these workers as they try to figure out how to clean this up and deciding who they’re going to blame.

 

Journalist Has a Splashing Bad Time
