When we wake up each morning, we're usually optimistic that today is going to be a good day. Unfortunately for us, however, sometimes the universe has very different plans.
Were you late to work this morning? Accidentally spill coffee on your shirt? No problem! These people got a faceful of disappointing confetti, so at least you're not them.
Break Out Those Divorce Papers
This man discovered his now-ex-wife was cheating on him with a man named Morgan via his wife's Apple Watch with this series of text messages. Apparently, Morgan was single and very ready to mingle.
Hey Morgan? You suck.
Pint-Sized Disappointment
Imagine spending $150 on banana plants, dedicating three years to fertilizing and tending to them, only to wind up with this itty bitty tiny banana.
It's proof that disappointment can come in all shapes and sizes!
Going Nowhere Fast
Think your morning commute is bad? At least you're not this poor woman who's either about to call a tow truck or hop the bus to her destination.
There is never an optimal time for the handle to your car door to break off, but at a gas station with your vehicle idling is definitely bad timing.
The Not-So-Grand Canyon
One of the natural wonders of the world, this Reddit user says she drove three hours to enjoy the Grand Canyon in all of its glory, but perhaps she should have first checked the weather forecast.
"Too bad you mist it," one cheeky Redditor joked.
Very Bad Doggy
What could go wrong when you bake a from-scratch cake and leave it unguarded next to your hungry dog?
It soon becomes a challenge as to how much frosting Fido can lick off before you come back to the kitchen. And the answer to that question is "a lot."
A Party Platter For One
This person explains that due to an upcoming move across the country they decided to invite their friends to a farewell BBQ. They prepared a smorgasbord of grilled meats, only for all guests to either cancel or just not show up.
So, if an occasion ever called for eating your feelings, now would definitely be the time.
Breathe It In
This guy realized that his air purifier had been running for an entire year but the filter had a plastic cover on it the entire time.
Look on the bright side, buddy. At least you don't have to go to the store now and purchase a brand new air filter.
You Have The Wrong Apartment
This person experienced a "grueling" day at work with no lunch break and finally arrived home to see their apartment in shambles. Apparently, their landlord hired a team of cleaners but cleaned the wrong apartment.
But that didn't stop them from putting all of his belongings in garbage bags. You'd think that'd be a dead giveaway that perhaps a tenant still lives there??
With A Free Side Order Of Salmonella
Meal kits can be an easy way to prepare a healthy dinner at home without the stress of shopping or searching through recipes. But for this hungry diner, they received their Hello Fresh order only a mere five days late.
Now, who wants room-temperature raw meat for dinner?
My Dog Ate My Passport
You've heard the saying "My dog ate my homework" before. Now introducing "My dog ate my passport."
If this traveler has an international trip coming up soon, maybe Border Services agents won't notice their mangled passport? Better yet, tell them that's how it arrived in the mail.
What A View
When going about your normal day, falling through the ceiling and crash landing on your bathroom floor probably isn't in the cards—unless you're this guy.
Having to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for a contractor to fix the giant hole in your house definitely constitutes as "disappointing."
On A Wing And A Prayer
Every passenger has their own way of killing time during a long flight, but for this woman, she probably should have checked to make sure she was fully packed before boarding the flight.
"Hello, pilots? Yes, can you please hold the plane while I run home real quick and grab my AirPods?"
When Your Teacher Doesn't Believe In Giving 100%
Somebody definitely pissed in this teacher's bowl of Corn Flakes this morning.
Upon receiving a recent test back, this student discovered that they scored 39.8 out of 40 on the test (or 99.5%). Nothing like trying to inspire the youth of today but crushing their spirits.
