40 people having a far worse quarantine than you

Yes, isolating yourself from the world really sucks. You can’t see anyone, touch anyone, or go out of the house except to buy groceries. But if you’re already bored of Netlifx, or going nutballz from all the boredom, be thankful you’re not one of these unlucky folks.

From finding fresh snakeskin that’s still soft and spongy to the touch, to having the door to a fully-stocked fridge fall to the floor, these 40 people are having a way worse quarantine than you!

1) “Do not order your toilet paper from the wish app”

Your wish is not your command if you order your toilet paper from Wish. There isn’t even enough here to cover your finger as you wipe.

2) Be glad you’re not this guy.

He went into the attic to look for a water leak and discovered he’s not alone. There’s something else self-isolating in his house with him!

@lvnwk:

“…it appears that I’m also in quarantine with this whatever monstrosity left this behind. Its soft to the touch so I’m assuming it’s still around.”

3) People are still getting into accidents?

With everyone staying home, the streets are pretty empty. How does something like this even happen?

@clopz_

“We have been forced quarantined for 48 hours. Notice the empty street and the closed gas station and these guys managed to get into a crash.”

4) The unfinished bathroom

With states putting a halt to non-essential work, his construction crew bailed before they could even put the toilet in. This poor guy now has worse things than toilet paper to worry about!

@CarsonWentzylvania:

“Governor just ordered all “non life sustaining” businesses to close, including construction and contractors. This is the current state of my only bathroom…”

5) “He calls this look Cambodian Garbage Hitler.”

Never put off getting a proper haircut from the barber. You never know when an end-of-the-world is coming, and you don’t want just anyone to give you a really bad haircut.

@NotedHeathen:

“Today my partner learned that you shouldn’t put off a haircut until the apocalypse when the only person left to do it (we’re in NYC) is your girlfriend who has never even trimmed her own ends.”

6) Dogs know how to play favorites, too

This woman’s husband has been home 24/7 for three days. Guess who the traitorous dog likes now?

@urkillingme:

“My husband has been home 24/7 for a whole three days and my dog is a full on traitorous bastard. It’s like I don’t exist. This is bullshit.”

7) John Lithgow balding man haircuts

Well, the good news is that schools are closed and no one has to do know what mom did during quarantine. It’s somewhat forgivable.

@KThingy:

“My kiddo cut his hair yesterday, then agreed to let me have a little fun with it before we fixed it.”

8) Yeah corona, you’re the f-word!

The coronavirus destroyed this poor kid’s birthday. It deserves every naughty f-bomb he can throw at it!

9) “My quarantine birthday is going well.”

At least this guy got to celebrate his special day. But it was kind of lonely with no one except all those plants to keep him company.

But not all is lost, according to @DoCoconutsMigrate:

“At least you’ve got shiny, healthy, beautiful hair on this your most birthy of days.”

10) “That online session didn’t go well then… Not surprised at all, these next few weeks are going to be hell for teachers & parents.”

Working from home when you have kids is next to impossible. It’s even worse when you’re a teacher and can’t control your own obnoxious rugrats!

@duddolittle:

“As a professor with kids and loud dogs, these next couple of weeks will be interesting!”

11) “Can’t explain to my cats the gravity of what they’ve done.”

This is an unforgivable sin that ranks up there with the worst of them. But you should always be grateful for what you have. Some people would pay money for a bunch of floor toilet paper.

@Beansiesdaddy:

“Use their litter box.”

@magentablue:

“We literally had to put ours in Tupperware earlier this week. Our cat won’t leave it alone all of a sudden. It’s never been an issue before last weekend. It’s like he knows.”

12) “Bathroom flooded and I lost four good men.”

It’s totally salvageable! Just let them dry out and they’ll be wipe-worthy in no time.

13) “My buddy was cleaning out his desk while at home during the quarantine, and found a $50 gift card!”

Doh! That would have come in so handy right about now. He’d would even have all the time in the world to rewind the VHS tape all the way back to the beginning.

@PacificaDogFamily:

“There is one blockbuster left! It’s in Bend, OR. Go redeem it!”

14) “Someone threw a rock through my front window at 4 in the morning.”

So much for the quarantine. Now all germs can get in.

@IR3kUNubs:

“Wish I could call someone to fix it without waiting two weeks, shucks.”

15) “Someone forgot their bag full of groceries”

Think your self-isolation is bad? This guy risked his life to go out for some groceries, and then he accidentally left it behind. What a waste.

@Perrin-Golden-Eyes:

“This makes me legitimately sad.”

@Rolling_on_the_river:

“Right? Imagine ending your shift, dead tired. You still have to shop for the little ones. You get home and start to feel your chest sink in when you realise.”

16)”Dropped my charger cable behind the desk to then go and plug it in – it landed on the power strip. And turned it off. My computer was on that. And so was my work.”

So much for working from home. Guess who’s probably been fired?

@NoJunkNoSouls:

“The adult version of ‘the dog ate my homework.'”

17) “I didn’t partake in the toilet paper panic…maybe I should have?”

Yep, he probably should have panicked. But he’ll get his chance to partake in the paniconce he realizes all the public restrooms and their free toilet paper are closed.

18) “Had to say goodbye to an old friend today.”

It’s a sad day when your old gaming console gives out on you when you need it the most. Life just isn’t worth living anymore!

@JakeyMcSwain:

“I’ve had it for about 11 years and it finally gave in during my quarantine. Rest In Peace, buddy, and thanks for all the incredible memories.”

19) This mom is suddenly having regrets about her quarantine purchase.

Kids are like cats. Cardboard boxes are a perfectly fine substitution for an expensive toy.

@YossarianC022:

“I’m regretting panic buying $100 worth of Legos to end up with my children ignoring them and instead playing with a cardboard box and a can lid for the last 2 hours.”

20) “There is no hope for me. Stay healthy folks!”

When you can’t even get something as simple as oatmeal right, you may as well give up. You obviously can’t fend for yourself and are no match for the virus!

@ride365

“As a single man who has eaten out pretty much every day since I was 19, this whole “fend for yourself ” quarantine plan is utter bullshit. You see this? This is instant oatmeal and I fucked it up.”

21) No fridge or stove

Like the guy with the unfinished bathroom, this couple is facing the same situation with their kitchen. Thank god for little toaster ovens, right?

@legolas156:

“We were getting our kitchen redone when the Corona Virus happened. We currently are living through this with a toaster oven and a sink.”

22) “Angry French noises”

What swears like a sailor but kind of sounds sexy while doing it? It’s this poor guy and his un-corkable wine bottle.

@Shadowhenge:

“This is the one time where “just the tip” is the worst thing you could have tried. You have to go deeper, man.”

@Dreadheadjohn:

“Simple, open in 5 easy steps. Close drain in tub. Smash bottle into bathtub. Scoop out wine with wine glass. Pick out glass shards. Enjoy!”

23) Working from home isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.

Just ask this high school teacher just how embarrassing it can be. He may have even gotten himself fired!

@double_reedditer:

“HS teacher remote teaching. Our platform generates unique classroom codes for each course. For my course, I have to screenshot and send “Jizzin’ to God” to all my students.”

@X-GonnaLendItToYa:

“Did I just find the vanity plate I never knew I needed?”

24) “He lost his blueberries”

Blueberries, marbles, it’s all the same thing. This quarantine stuff is going to make everyone lose it sooner or later!

@hmanz8000:

“5 sec rule yo”

@bigredcar

“Due to Coronavirus shortages the 5 second rule has been extended to 25 seconds.”

25) “Bought 60 doughnuts for the office today to celebrate my 20th birthday, only to be told I need to self isolate/ work from home for the next week.”

Well, at least breakfast, lunch, and dinner are taken care of. But what are you going to eat for the rest of the week?

@The100thIdiot:

“Since when did having 60 doughnuts suck?”

@EndsWithJusSayin”

“When you get to the last one and realize you don’t have 60 more…”

26) “Can you spare a square?”

People will look back at this moment in history as the beginning of the end of the handshake. It’s also probably a good time to invest in companies that make bidets.

@james_fox1984:

“Very clever, I love it.”

@setasjungles:

“You wouldn’t love it that much if you saw that when sitting there yourself. It would be a shitty joke. Just sayinn.”

27) “Girlfriends grad cancelled due to the virus so she’s picking up her degree from the student desk.”

For some students, their college graduation day is a dream come true. Unfortunately for this girl, if she ever dreamed of having the perfect graduation ceremony, COVID-19 totally ruined it.

28) “So my fridge doors just fell off…”

That really sucks! He prepared to bunker down with a fully stocked fridge, and then this happened. But he can always look on the bright side!

@Contigen:

“You just got a new air conditioner!”

29) “My quarantine is fine, thanks for asking”

This water-powered electricity unit doesn’t seem to be working out too well for this homeowner. Maybe they should have invested in solar.

@IamnotValiantThor:

“Is this how they put electrolytes into water?”

My quarantine is fine, thanks for asking from r/Wellthatsucks

30) “1st day of family quarantine…TV dies…”

Looks like it’s time to go back to old school entertainment, like reading a bedtime story. Except all the libraries are now closed, too.

@KingT-U-T:

“Best buy is essential!”

@TheOfficialToast:

“So are liquor stores!”

31) “COVID-19 shut down the dental school I was getting work done on for the next month. Wish me luck!”

This is actually kind of sad. Not everyone can afford good dental work. At least he’s still smiling about his untimely predicament, though!

32) “We had one roll left… Kids.”

This is why some parents want to murder their kids! Under these dire circumstances, though, such actions are totally forgivable.

33) “It’s better than nothing”

It’s not even pretending to be cheap 1-ply toilet paper. It’s totally see-through!

@Razorray21:

“1/4 ply. Time to make the super mummy hand!”

34) “Day two of captivity and my son clogged the toilet. Then this.”

Being held captive on the Planet of the Apes might be a better fate for us than this. Don’t you feel sorry for the hand thet has to reach in there and grab it?

35) “It was announced today that my country is going into lockdown. My door was being repaired when the announcement was made and the repair man left in a panic.”

Construction workers are abandoning bathrooms, kitchens, and now this. In a COVID-19 world, shouldn’t front doors be considered a basic necessity?

36) “That was the isolation wine”

Now this tragedy is something worth whining over. Isolation is going to suck that much more without a happy buzz going.

@IllTakeOutTheTrash:

“Wish I could send you some consolation isolation wine.”

@keepdatsimple:

“There is always isolation water.”

37) “Behold, 125 kazoos with our wedding date on them that arrived at our door the day we emailed everyone to tell them the wedding was postponed.”

It sucks even more that the wedding date was printed all of them! Now it’ll be forever remembered as the date The Great Quarantine began.

38) “My friend went to the Apple store today because he broke his iphone XS both front and back.”

Because of the coronavirus, Apple’s repair service was closed. So this guy bought the 11 pro, which he promptly dropped as soon as he opened the box.

@leosadovsky:

“In Russian there is a word РУКОЖОП (rukozhop). It means a person whose hands are growing from that persons ass. Idk if there is any similar term in English.”

39) “Stay inside they said…”

It’s a warning people should heed. Now no one can save him from his own, dumb self.

@initiationviper:

“Looks like your car is just reaffirming what you’ve already been told.”

40) “Our country (Malaysia) has been in movement control order. This is 10days into the lockdown.”

This could have been way worse. It could have been an angry hornet’s nest right there by the door handle!
