Sometimes the universe has a cruel sense of humor, and we unsuspecting humans bear the brunt of the jokes. These people had days so unlucky (yet comical) that you can bet they're cursing the universe as we speak.
Will these people have better days ahead? Absolutely. But it definitely won’t be today.
Dance Until It Hurts
This poor bride broke her ankle, wrist, and tore her ACL and a tendon in her thumb on—of all days—her wedding day. Apparently, her seamstress didn’t quite hem the bottom of her dress, so she tripped and fell on the dance floor.
Takes “break dancing” to a whole new level.
Always Get Insurance
No part of the world is immune to natural disasters, and with summertime often comes intense rainfall and floods. Thankfully this user had the wherewithal to practice a bit of preparedness.
“In ten seconds I'm going to discover the value of lifejackets and renter's insurance,” they wrote.
A Little Too Fresh
Subway has recently been in the news for...a variety of reasons. From allegations of its tuna sub not actually containing tuna to an Irish court ruling that their bread can’t legally be called bread, it’s been a rough year for Subway—and it looks like it’s not getting any better.
Looks like the “extra crispy” bacon this person ordered is so fresh that it’s still oinking.
That’s Gonna Leave A Mark
It’s no surprise that siblings often tease each other and get into fights. This guy’s young son teased his sister to the point where she threw her controller at the family flatscreen TV in anger. Given how expensive those are, I think it’s fair to say Christmas is canceled this year.
I’ll give her this though, his daughter has a killer aim.
Shut Up, Your Face
Remember that episode of "The Simpsons" where one of Fat Tony’s mob buddies tells an artificially intelligent robot, “Shutta you face!” and the robot replies, “Shut up, your face.”
I have a feeling whoever designed that robot probably also designed this exam software.
Big Money Big Money, No Whammy No Whammy
This user’s dad has been playing the lottery once a week for about four to five months in hopes of striking it rich. Secretly, we all love to daydream about the things we’d do and buy if we won the lottery.
But as this stack of bum tickets proves, unfortunately, Lady Luck is not on his side.
Look At That View!
When I fly, I always opt for the window seat because the aerial views of the scenery below are impossible to beat. That’s what this kid apparently had in mind, too, when he booked the window seat on a recent flight.
Maybe They Won’t Notice?
What seemed like a fun weekend relaxing in an Airbnb soon turned into a trip to the hardware store after this user's friend took an epic stumble down a flight of stairs.
Tell the homeowners it was like that when you got there?
A Key To Nowhere
There’s nothing more satisfying than the relief of coming home after a long day at work, kicking your shoes off, and collapsing on the couch to rest. After a 10-hour shift, that’s what this user was also hoping for, but her house key had different plans.
My fiancé and I once got locked out of my house, so he found an unlocked window into the kitchen (which is 10 feet off the ground), sliced through the screen, crawled inside from off of the deck, and unlocked the door. We felt like James Bond that day.
Welcome To Hell
Thermometers are one of those versatile gadgets that we use in our daily lives. From checking the temperature outside before leaving the house to using a food thermometer to check meat for doneness, it’d be hard to imagine our lives without them.
But you know it’s bad when it’s so hot outside that the thermometer literally cannot get any higher. Welcome to Sin City.
Long-Awaited Disappointment
I’m sure this Reddit user was eager to receive their diploma in the mail so they could frame it and proudly display it on their wall. But much like the college experience, USPS robbed this student of that joy.
So many unnecessary heartbreaks could be prevented if people just read the packaging.
So You Had A Bad Day
One mom convinced her son to let her give his hair a trim, basing her expertise on a single hairdressing course she studied nine years earlier.
I think it’s fair to say that she should go back to school.
A Costco-Sized Mess
If you splurge on a bulk product from Costco, like detergent, toilet paper, or a package of peanut butter, chances are it will last you a long time if you use it wisely. At least that’s what this Reddit user thought.
Everything at Costco is bigger. Including the messes.
