Whether itโs pure irony, plain bad luck, a disaster waiting to happen, or a fail so bad you just have to laugh, weโve all had moments when it felt like the universe just wasnโt on our side. Sometimes life just has a way of sticking it to you.
Check out these 50 photos of situations you should be glad youโre not a part of (and maybe learn some lessons along the way).
While these might all make for a bad day, no doubt someone got a laugh out of them; they certainly had enough of a sense of humor to get a photo.
1. The stress mess
Thereโs nothing like getting ready for some skin self careโฆuntil it goes crashing to the floor. Weโre just hoping no one tried to salvage any bits of lotion from the broken glass โ thatโs just a recipe for more disaster.

2. Denied
That is just so cruel. Itโs one thing to see that snack slow down and start to look like it might get stuck in the machine, but then when you see the label you know itโs not meant to be. At least itโs funny for a second.

3. So much for that idea
Well, we can certainly see why this dog owner needed a solution for excessive chewing. On the bright side, maybe it worked and the dog is now REALLY discouraged from bad behavior.

4. Hitting the wall
This reader was just trying to read a story about walls and whether or not they change the way we think. Unfortunately, the New Yorkerโs paywall prevented that. Walls definitely change the way we read!

5. Defeating the purpose
Weโd hate to be the cyclist who tried to make their way down this bike lane. The sign is a nice reminder, but couldnโt it be less of a hazard?

6. No scissors for you
We can see why this person needed to purchase more scissors. But couldnโt the old ones do this one last job before self-destructing?

7. Awkward
Breakups arenโt fun for anyone, but people applauding makes it a really bad moment. Check please!

8. Dance with caution
Itโs a nice sentiment, but hopefully no one took it too literally unless they wanted to provide some nice security footage.

9. Travel fail
Itโs all about the journey, not the destination, right? It certainly is in this case after a two-hour journey foiled by fog. At least she can say that sheโs been there.

10. The perfect break
Thereโs not much you can do other than shake your head and snap a pic when youโre about to start a 7-hour plane ride and go to plug in your headphones only to find that the last pair had snapped off perfectly in the outlet. Thereโs no solving that problem, so we hope theyโre at least a heavy sleeper.

11. Just another day at work
Do you stand back from the paint shaker at the hardware store? This is probably why. We hope she got to go home early to start washing that out of her hair.

12. A job well done
Not only is this a job poorly done but thatโs not even a fortune! So much for a chance at good luck.

13. Flash flood
The weather is never 100% accurate, and it looks like this day saw some unexpected rain. The look on the dogโs face after his surprise bath is pretty priceless though.

14. Disobedience
Weโre really wondering about the credentials of the dog training program this little guy graduated from. Do you get your money back when this happens?

BeckerKM21 via reddit
15. Always be specific about your wishes
Have we learned nothing from genies in bottles? You have to be careful when you make a wish and be very specific about how you want it to happen.

16. Spelling success
If the only word you can spell correctly is illiterate, that means youโre not entirely illiterate, right? Can we count that as a plus?

17. He had it coming
We still wouldnโt want to be this guy trying to get out of the parking lot, but we definitely have some questions about his parking abilities. Chances are his skills will improve after this stunt.

18. Bad planning
Letโs just hope the person who hung these letters didnโt graduate from this school.
Source:

19. False advertising
Well thatโs just not fair. It looks like the movieโs villian โMr. Glassโ had a hand in this.

20. Limits
Apparently, everything has its limit. Even the No Limits app.

21. Finally
Is is just us, or is this not the hand dryer weโve been looking for all these years? So much for working properly.

22. Nothing is invincible
Even books with the title Invincible are subject to damage. On the bright side, it looks like itโs been read plenty of times โ better a well-read book than a pristine one.

23. Not cool
Donโt you hate when the weather forces you to wear a jacket that ruins your whole look? This pic takes it to a whole new level. Guess heโll have to be chilly or button up โ thereโs really no in-between choice here.

24. Define โnon-stickโ
This is going to require a good soak and some scrubbing, which is probably not what this person expected when they bought a non-stick frying pan.

25. Happy birthday from no one
Weโre guessing that previous birthdays werenโt worth looking back on either unless Gary has made a lot of enemies in the last year. Arenโt algorithms smart enough not to bring up this message if no one is helping you celebrate?

26. The saddest day
That poor pizza. It looks like the rain made it too slippery for pizza night to be a success.

27. No day at the beach
Looks like someone will be riding home from the beach in their wet swimsuit unless they catch up with the furry thief that stole their shorts.

28. Watch those breaks
This snafu looks like itโll take more than one person to clean up. Hopefully the photographer lent a helping hand to this unlucky driver who may have hit the breaks a bit too hard (and forgot to secure the door?).

Gregplane via reddit
29. Improper drainage
This is why itโs best to call in a professional. Weโre not sure how one manages to install a sink with the faucet on the wrong side, but we hope they budgeted a bit more time for the project.

30. Pick a card
Well, if your dog is going to chew up any card, it might as well be the one you were going to blame on him anyway, right?
Source:
JaredGutie via reddit
31. Faceplant
So much hard work undone by one simple misstep. At least the artist got a photo before their day went sideways.
Source:
@Ricky_1_ via Twitter
32. Mismatched
Whatโs worse, finding out youโre wearing two different shoes hours into your day or wondering how many people noticed and just chose not to tell you?
Source:
SirSpankalott33 via reddit
33. Wrong button
It was a bad day to hit the sunroof button instead of the rear defrost. But if youโre snapping a pic, chances are you have some humor left in you over the situation.

yelpats via reddit
34. Dress whites
Well thatโs awkward. There are so many rules about how to wear a uniform, but weโre guessing split down the front seam isnโt one of them.
Source:
Spodiz via reddit
35. So lame
From flame to lame, this Ford Fiesta is a bit of an embarassment to its owner now. Letโs just hope thereโs some glue nearby.

Thechuz1337 via reddit
36. Wake up call
Sudden sprinkler showers are the worst. But weโve never had one hit us right in the face like this poor kid. Thatโs some great photo timing though!

37. Lost forever
You have to be careful about bringing your smartphone to the zoo. Weโre pretty sure this one is a lost cause.
Source:
PraxAttacks via reddit
38. Scooter fail
There seem to be a lot of scooter accidents lately. But this one takes the cake since it threw its rider into freshly laid cement. Thatโs got to be hard to clean off.

39. Kite tent
And this is why you have to stake your tent into the ground properly. What goes up must come down โ we just hope it wasnโt onto that nearby tree.

40. Out of toner
If youโve ever gotten printer toner on your skin or clothing you are probably shuddering at this photo. We really hope no one was around when this happened, but the nearby shoe prints would indicate that someone had a very bad day at work.

41. Cleanup in aisle 4
Itโs bad enough to have a pile full of broken glass, but did it have to be olive oil? Thatโs not going to be fun to clean.
Source:
AndySlot via Imgur
42. No words
This is just a bad day all over. We hope this guy is ok, but weโre guessing the homeowner is beside themselves.

JaCobra789 via reddit
43. Not part of the recipe
People have all sorts of secret sauce recipes, but weโre betting glass wasnโt one of the ingredients here.
Source:
via Imgur
44. Sandwich fail
French bread makes a sandwich taste great, but those baguettes can be tricky. Weโre guessing that youโd have to skip the condiments on this one.
Source:
bluebell959 via reddit
45. Treat yourself
You might think anyone who holds out an ice cream cone in order to take a photo is extending an invitation to the local wildlife to take a bite. Thatโs certainly the case here and weโre pretty impressed that this former ice cream cone owner managed to hold onto the camera to snap another shot!
Source:
@youngweonhi via Twitter
46. Going up
We donโt know how this happened, but just remember this guy next time you think youโre having a bad day at work.
Source:
via Imgur
47. Sweet 16
Weโre not sure whatโs worse, putting the effort into making cupcakes that end up on the floor, destroying the birthday girlโs treat, or having to clean up flaming cupcake while everyone looks on disappointely. At least thereโs a photo to look back on for a good laugh.
Source:

48. Savage stilettos
Anyone who wears heels knows you have to be careful around those grates. But sometimes theyโre hard to spot until youโre accidentally wearing one. And one youโve pierced it, itโs not easy to get off without ruining your shoe.
Source:
Brooke4269 via reddit
49. Ambiance fail
We know fire and electronics donโt mix, but who could have seen this coming? Thatโs one expensive mistake. We hope they saved their work before it went up in flames.

EricRich via Imgur
50. You got slimed
Most people still put a hand on top of the blender while making smoothies even if the lid fits tight enough because theyโre trying to avoid exactly this scenario. Certainly not a great way to start off your day.
