50+ Individuals Who Would Have Gone To Any Lengths To Skip This Day
We all have those days when we wish we could just skip a day. Why not go back and press a button that would allow you to circumvent the obstacle rather than go through it? Those are days when something horrible or tedious occurs and you’d give your right arm and left leg to avoid it at all costs. No matter if you’ve never had a day like this, these 40+ people have, and we can’t help but feel for them all.
The Price of Technology
Most people find it extremely painful to lose or break a piece of expensive technology, so it goes without saying. It’s safe to say that when this unfortunate event occurred, he felt more than just frustrated.
The Price of Technology
That means no more video games for the day, but more importantly, it’s a lot of money that’s gone. There’s no way to tell how long ago this was from just looking at the Xbox 360 controller, but we have no doubt that whoever is listening will enjoy hearing about it.
There’s a Leak
Houses are expensive, and no one wants their valuables to be damaged. We can deduce what happened here based on the weather and the surrounding circumstances, but even knowing that only adds to the agony.
There’s a Leak
Do you have an estimate for how much it would cost to fix this? Chances are, it’s a lot more than anyone wants to pay and it would have been better if it could have all been avoided.
Worst Popsicle Ever
A mathematician is needed to determine how unlikely this situation is. What are the probabilities that something like this will occur? Popsicle frogs? Anyone who is unfortunate enough to be the victim of such an event is truly unfortunate.
Worst Popsicle Ever
That may be a bit of an exaggeration. Even so, anyone would gladly pay to avoid such a traumatic experience. Popsicles may be out of the question for this person for some time.
The Irony of it All
What do you do if your car gets flooded or set on fire? Fire and flooding in the same place: what’s next? The universe isn’t apologizing for its actions now, and it’s not even trying to be nice. Please answer how this came to be.
The Irony of it All
Even if this was an accident, it’s safe to assume that the person who ended up in this situation would have given anything to be able to avoid this day in the future.
One Final Car Wash
Swimming pools should be safe, right? That, of course, is dependent on a wide range of factors. Even if something like this were to happen, they could still be a problem for you. In the meantime, how did this come about? It looks as if a crane was used to lower it.
One Final Car Wash
That car somehow found its way into this pool, but we’re willing to wager a substantial sum that whoever owns it wishes he could go back in time and prevent this from happening.
Complete and Utter Disappointment
Have you ever taken a long walk to get to a beautiful view on vacation, only to discover that the weather has other plans? That’s exactly what’s going on for this person.
Complete and Utter Disappointment
Regardless of how long it took them to get here, we know that they didn’t get the results they were hoping for. It’s possible that they could have avoided this if they had paid more attention to the forecast for the day.
One Serious Whoops
Cutting through plastic packaging is extremely difficult, and we know this. Even so, given the potential for damage to his product, this guy should have exercised a little more caution.
One Serious Whoops
Because accidents happen, we’re not going to treat him too harshly, but wow. As a result of his most recent mishap, we’re willing to wager that he’ll be extra cautious about opening anything in the future.
There Goes My Bike
Even though this appears to be the person’s fault, we still feel sorry for them. While it’s possible that they accidentally rode their bicycle into wet cement without realizing it, surely they had enough time to remove their bicycle from the mess before things got this bad?
There Goes My Bike
Evidently not, because the bike is still stuck in the now-hardened concrete. Who knows how much it costs the city to get rid of problems like this in the first place.
How Things Change
Often, people want to relive the joy of their youth by reminiscing. Yes, that’s a great idea, but there are some parts of childhood that you simply cannot relive. When it comes to reliving childhood memories, playing on child-sized equipment is one of them.
How Things Change
Being aware of one’s own limitations in terms of chronological age can save one from a lot of embarrassment in social situations in the future. It’s a lesson that everyone should remember.
Please Read Labels
It’s against the rules to leave paint cans in a hot car because of issues like this. The consequences of not reading the warnings you’re given can be dire, and they can cost you a lot of money in the long run.
Please Read Labels
This is why you should always pay attention to the warnings that have been issued to you — because days like today cannot be avoided, no matter how much you may wish it could be done otherwise.
Knock on Wood
Many people are aware of the dangers of trees falling on houses, but many builders go to great lengths to prevent this from happening. Even so, it’s impossible to predict when a nearby tree will make an appearance, just like this.
Knock on Wood
There isn’t much you can do to avoid this for this particular homeowner short of cutting down trees within a reasonable distance of the house itself, which isn’t an option.
What a Waste
Nobody likes to eat something that’s been spilt on them. You can feel the pain all the way to the core of your being. The worst-case scenario is that you spill food, and then something even worse happens on top of it. Spilled food is a good example of this. Especially with spaghetti and tomato sauce, no one wants that.
What a Waste
It’s here that we truly feel the pain of a person who lives across the internet. Because, really, how could you not, given the circumstances? They could just skip the day and get on with their lives if only they had that option.
Thor Is Mad
Consider skipping that day or reevaluating your luck if even lightning is out to get you. This kind of damage—caused by a lightning bolt—is something you can’t ever get back from. Or at least your washing machine won’t.
Thor Is Mad
No one has done anything to merit this, but at the very least they captured this incredible event on film for our viewing pleasure. We wouldn’t have any idea what this looks like otherwise.
Waste of Cream
Compared to some of the other items on this list, this one isn’t terrible, but that’s just a matter of comparison. It’s still bad from any angle, but it’s especially bad for the person responsible for cleaning up the mess at the place of business where it occurred — we’re guessing an ice cream parlor.
Waste of Cream
In addition, let’s not forget that this is a total waste of ice cream. The fact that so many people were hoping to get pleasure from that has been taken away. It’s a real pity.
Nature Strikes Back
When birds are in the right frame of mind, they can be downright vicious. Although it is rare to see peacocks outside of zoos, most people aren’t expecting to be attacked by one. A zoo may allow such a fowl to attack, depending on the location.
Nature Strikes Back
If that is the case, it is time to get to work on the problem. No matter how you slice it, this young lady looks as if she could use a skip day after the way her day began.
A Vertical Heart Attack
Roller coasters aren’t for everyone. While it is possible to get stuck on one, chances are you don’t want to get stuck on one in this vertical position. Honestly, getting stuck upside down would be the worst.
A Vertical Heart Attack
This probably persuaded the large number of people riding that ride to call it a day at the amusement park. After all, would you be able to ride anything else with any degree of confidence now?
Best of Both Worlds
Things can go horribly wrong, but you’re always saved by a streak of incredible good fortune every now and then. In this picture, you can see that this man had one of those days. For all the bad things this day has done to him, we’re sure he’d rather it never happened.
Best of Both Worlds
But his car, on the other hand, is clearly past its prime, and he’s probably not too pleased about that. His only option at this point is to thank his lucky stars that he’s still breathing at all.
Not Quite a Perfect Fit
Who wants to go down a sewer? Good way to start the day, indeed. Or you can call it a day. The only time falling into a storm drain is ever a good thing is when it saves your life, and that rarely happens.
Not Quite a Perfect Fit
Our best guess is that it wasn’t quite like that. Think positive: If you can’t fit in the storm drain, you don’t have to be afraid of scary shape-shifting clowns. Every situation has a silver lining…
Icing on the Cake
Surely, this cannot be the worst possible outcome for anyone. No, that’s not true. However, is it something that anyone would be excited about? No. Just one little thing can turn a bad day into a terrible one.
Icing on the Cake
It’s like that little straw that broke my camel’s back. Of course, a lot of assumptions are being made here. However, we can understand why someone would be annoyed by a situation like this.
Gonna Be Late
This is probably one of the worst things that can happen to ruin a day, and it’s easy to see why. If you lose your key, that’s a different matter. If the ignition is on, what happens if it breaks? Actually, it’s two things, but the sum of the two is far more serious.
Gonna Be Late
It’s simply a hassle to rectify the situation when it arises, and we can’t blame anyone for wishing they could skip that day if something like this were to occur in their life at any point.
Tools Just Don’t Cut It
Who knows what else can be done when an essential piece of equipment fails to meet your needs? There’s not much else you can do besides mope around your house and ponder how you’re going to open a bottle of wine with a broken cork screw.
Tools Just Don’t Cut It
These things really need to be a little more durable these days, can’t they? Our modern-day tools should not be breaking with such ease, surely there is some reason for this.
One Cursed Carpet
As a result of its filth, you decide to have it cleaned. You vacuum it, and a large section of it is ripped off. It’s all part of the job, right? Even if we blame the vacuum or the carpet or the handler, one thing is for sure: this is a real pain in the ass.
One Cursed Carpet
At the very least, it could have been a lot worst. Considering the circumstances, this is only a minor consolation, but it is sometimes comforting to remember that the situation could be much worse.
An Electrician’s Worst Nightmare
No matter how experienced you are as an electrician, locating and correcting faulty wiring can be a difficult task. We now have a much more complex problem, one that would make any electrician want to reach for the nearest bottle of liquor and take a few long, hard swigs.
An Electrician’s Worst Nightmare
There is no one to blame but themselves. Here’s an example of a complete shambles. Even just figuring out which cable goes where took a long time, let alone figuring out which cable had a problem.
Guess We’ll Be Here Awhile
Is it time to get out of the house? Not if the door itself has other plans in store. This poor soul was left with no choice but to sit and wait for rescue from his unexpected and unwelcome prison. Was he somehow deserving of this? Karma may have played a role.
Guess We’ll Be Here Awhile
In any case, it’s imperative that someone investigates this problem immediately to avoid a recurrence. Otherwise, rumors may start to circulate and no one will ever come by again to check things out.
No Laughing Matter
Even if you specifically purchased a package of chocolate chip cookies, no one wants a cookie that is missing the chocolate chips. Even worse, despite the presence of chocolate chips, this cookie does not appear to be a good cookie in the first instance. Honestly, we’d have to ask for a refund for something as bad as this.
No Laughing Matter
False advertising at its finest, or at its worst, is what you’re seeing here. Is it even legal for a store to sell this? Probably, but it feels like they should be punished for what they’ve done here. ‘
One Small Step for Man
There is no reason why life should punish you if all you want to do is carry cat litter down the stairs. Sadly, it still happens from time to time. Sometimes the box just falls apart, causing a huge mess and potentially ruining the rest of the day or at least the next few hours.
One Small Step for Man
Carpet cleaning is a pain, especially if cat litter is to blame for the mess. On the other hand, he could try vacuuming it, but we’ve already seen how that works out here.
No Rest for the Weary
As you can see, vacuum cleaners appear to be a recurring theme on this list. There are apparently a lot of people who have issues with vacuums. This time around it appears that the elevator was to blame, not the vacuum.
No Rest for the Weary
In any case, this guy is probably wishing he could skip today because it’s clearly off to a shaky beginning. It’s possible that things won’t get any worse from here.
When Life Gives You Lemons, Cry
We can be honest: Would anyone be motivated to complete today’s activities if the day had begun like this? We know we wouldn’t do that. You can’t possibly have missed the cacophony accompanying this disaster if you woke up to it, so we assume this person came home to find it.
When Life Gives You Lemons, Cry
In any case, I think this is the worst thing I’ve seen so far. There aren’t many other things that could make someone feel as dejected and defeated as this.
Double the Damage
This family lost both their television and a portion of their fireplace in a freak accident. Whatever it cost to repair the damage in this picture is a mystery. We know that even the happiest of people would be devastated by the news.
Double the Damage
Even if this was the happiest day in the victim’s life to begin with, it still doesn’t make up for the pain and suffering they endured. It’s impossible to look at this without feeling sick to your stomach.
A New Way to Paint
Make a smoothie in the morning, then clean up the kitchen in the afternoon. That’s not how most people want to start their day, but that’s what happened to this unfortunate man.
A New Way to Paint
The smoothie he was making has us curious, though. Is the aroma of turmeric wafting from his kitchen? Because it’s worse than any of the other options we have available to us at this point.
Ultimate Blender Fail
When discussing blender disasters, here’s an example of a person getting their day off to a bad start. Just a reminder: before using the blender, always make sure the lid is closed tightly. If not, things like this would occur.
Ultimate Blender Fail
Do you think it still works, despite the recent incident? A mess will be the worst of it, rather than having to buy an entirely new kitchen appliance because of the bad day. Hopefully.
Maybe Consider a Diet
To be clear, we have no intention of putting anyone down because of their weight, but this photo alone shows that the ceiling is either weak or someone standing atop it is significantly heavier than the person beneath them.
Maybe Consider a Diet
Actually, it’s a bit of both. One thing is certain: this was an unanticipated expense that no one in this apartment was looking forward to incurring, but here they are.
With a Side of Frustration
Many people start their day with a cup of coffee and never go without it. In the absence of that, what do you do? It’s likely to be a day you’d rather forget. Since this is not possible, you’ll have to accept that your coffee is ruined and dispose of it in the trash.
With a Side of Frustration
It’s a waste of everyone’s time, money, and caffeine. No, birds don’t seem to have a sacred place in their hearts. No one is fooling — it’s definitely the second option.
Super Safety Slipup
We’re not even sure where to begin with this one. To say that this is dangerous and messed up would be an understatement. When this hole was being dug, why didn’t anyone in the building know about it?
Super Safety Slipup
If the truth be told, someone should have been fired because of this, but whether or not they were is another matter. If you know anything about our world, you can bet they didn’t.
Major Cargo Trouble
Hopefully, the fact that these shipping containers were knocked over was due to their emptiness. To put it another way, if they had things in them, then that’s going to be a lot of damage that someone has to pay for.
Major Cargo Trouble
This is a nightmare scenario that no one on this planet would ever choose to live through. This is especially true if someone in particular is to blame. That person is likely to be fired for committing such a heinous crime.
Worst Day on the Job
It’s possible that if you work in retail, you’ll be responsible for organizing storage. Consider quitting rather than dealing with a problem like this if it ever happens to you. We say this in jest, but it’d be a real hassle.
Worst Day on the Job
The worst-case scenario is, of course, if the employee is to blame. Then, they’d have to worry about even more serious issues, like whether or not they could keep their job.
A New Coat of Paint
It’s hard to think of anything else to say about this image that isn’t already obvious. Even though no cars were damaged in the traditional sense, it appears to be one expensive car accident. What happens if your vehicle is completely covered in paint?
A New Coat of Paint
To be honest, we’d like to know how this even came to be. What were the circumstances leading up to this accident and how did it end up here? This is a travesty, but who is to blame?
Instructions Unclear, Started Fire
Incompetence or faulty wiring are the only two possibilities that could have led to this outcome. Even though we’re not really feeling sorry for the person, we’ll just say that the problem was faulty wiring because that seems more appropriate for this list.
Instructions Unclear, Started Fire
However, the fact that the machine’s door is open indicates that it was opened prior to or during the fire. It may be necessary to conduct further research into this…
We Got a Problem Here
For aircraft, landing gear is critical. Because of this, it will quickly become a major issue if you lose them right after you get off the ground. We’re not sure what the helicopter’s pilot will do, but we expect him to try to land on the gear itself rather than the ground.
We Got a Problem Here
Even though it appears to be straightforward, landing an aircraft precisely on top of a small piece of equipment will be much more difficult than it appears at first glance.
Somewhere, Ramsay’s Crying
Some pepper can go a long way. Even more pepper can go a long way. I went a little too far. Because of the excessive amount of pepper, we’re willing to wager that this egg, or at least the portion that’s peppered, will be unpalatable.
Somewhere, Ramsay’s Crying
Obviously, it’s a minor mishap in the grand scheme of things, but do you honestly believe that your day will turn out well if it begins with this kind of start?
Bad Hair Day
When your hair has gotten out of hand, there’s no better feeling than getting a new haircut. But, of course, there is such a thing as too much. Take, for example, this unfortunate soul.
Bad Hair Day
Instead of giving himself a trim and cleaning up the chaos that had grown on his head, he shaved his hair all the way down to his scalp. We can only assume that when this happened, he shaved the rest of his hair.
The Dangers of Technology
Okay, everyone. We’ve all been there: you’re lying in bed, scrolling through Instagram, when your hands give up and drop your phone. What is it that prevents the fall? Of course, it’s your face. If you’re lucky, it’ll only sting a little.
The Dangers of Technology
But if you’re this guy, you’re going to chip a tooth. While it’s not the worst thing that could happen, it’s also not the most ideal situation. While he won’t have to pay a fortune to have his phone screen repaired, he will have to pay for dental work.
Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
It’s a mystery to me why bad things happen to people who deserve them. A fight had broken out in her building and this woman was just trying to break it up in the right way.
Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
It was a good Samaritan who sprained two of her fingers and couldn’t play the piano while they recovered. We can only hope that she was only a piano player at night and had a more lucrative career during the day.
A Melted Disaster
So, this isn’t the worst case scenario, but that doesn’t mean this guy can’t complain. Chocolate melted in your mouth? This guy could, of course, put the bag of melted Reese’s in the fridge and let it harden, but the result would be a massive chunk of chocolate.
A Melted Disaster
Now that I think about it, that isn’t so bad after all. After all, chocolate and peanut butter combined in any form is delicious, whether it’s in the form of mini truffles or chunks of chocolate.
Kids Say the Darndest Things
Ouch. It’s painful to look at this one. It’s a harrowing experience that no one, including a professional photographer, should ever have to go through. The problem is that your three-year-old baby doesn’t understand the consequences of her actions.
Kids Say the Darndest Things
For the time being, after spending a lot of money on repairs, you can just put it away and then give it to your child when she’s older. Just hope this guy was able to get things in order before the photoshoot.
Just an Uber Driver…
The worst could have happened. This man’s soul has been shattered by Panda Express. Just a hardworking guy trying to get by in this dog-eat-dog world of his. Although he is an Uber driver for now, he has bigger goals than that, and we have faith in him!
Just an Uber Driver…
It doesn’t help that when he cracked open his cookie, he found this kind of fortune. Then again, this is the perfect time for this man to pick himself back up and get back to work. It is time to fulfill your dreams, sir!
Salty or Sweet?
On a Saturday morning, there is nothing better than waking up and preparing pancakes. You whip up the batter, add the chocolate chips, and let it all sizzle into pancake perfection..
Salty or Sweet?
On top of that, you put a slice of butter on top and reach for the maple syrup—but it’s not maple syrup. Nope. After just a few minutes of whipping up the fluffy goodness, you grabbed the soy sauce bottle and ruined it all. It’s time to go to sleep again.
Cup ‘O Joe No More
Let’s face it, even when doing something as simple as brushing our teeth, we’ve all had our share of forgetful or ditzy moments. Of course, the fact that it was so early in the morning didn’t help this particular individual.
Cup ‘O Joe No More
To put it another way, it could happen to anyone. It’s only a matter of time before you get your chance. When you need a cup of coffee in the morning, we can only hope that it doesn’t happen to you.
One With Nature
Being one with nature is a truly awe-inspiring experience. However, there is a big difference between hiking in the woods and waking up to find an ant mound in your bedroom.
One With Nature
Even though we’re not sure how it happened, we can assume that the person who discovered it first thing in the morning was less than pleased. I hope the problem has been remedied by the time this photo was sent to all of their friends.
Face the Wrath
Oh, the wonders of modern technology. Smart doorbells like this one are now available for purchase, just like this one. This bell not only records anyone who rings it, but you can also use your smartphone to control it (surprise, surprise).
Face the Wrath
There’s no doubt that this guy’s parents could see who was at the door when he rang the bell late at night—but instead of opening the door, they decided to blind him. That’s what this kid thinks of as a scolding, don’t we? After all, we’re left to wonder when the door was finally unlocked for him. How long later? Hours, perhaps?
Move a Little Faster Next Time
The doors of a train got stuck on your bike, right? In my opinion, you were moving a little too slowly, buddy. In the metro, there is no room for slacking off because trains do not stop for anyone. Hombre, they’ve got a lot on their plate!
Move a Little Faster Next Time
The poor guy’s bike is in peril, but at least the conductor showed some courtesy by opening the door for him for a few seconds. He most likely had to do it for his own safety.
Cat Schemes and Shenanigans
Assuming that cats aren’t evil, this situation would be much less likely to occur if a dog were involved. Why would you put your makeup in a litter box filled with feces?
Cat Schemes and Shenanigans
Unquestionably, this woman’s cat was up to something. If nothing else, it appears to enjoy knocking things off counters, which cats seem to find amusing no matter where they are or when they do it.
The Secret Ingredient Revealed
A situation like this leaves us scratching our heads and asking, “How did that happen?” Because of the absurdity of the situation, it almost feels staged. Not that it’s not possible. It was possible to see someone committing the necessary series of mistakes to get here.
The Secret Ingredient Revealed
Even if these were their glasses, how did they proceed to bake bread after losing them in the dough?” That’s the most important question we need to answer at this point.
Unstable Weather Forecast
Unless we’re missing something, we assume this guy lives somewhere where a convertible makes sense. There’s no point in having the top down if you live in a place where it snows frequently.
Unstable Weather Forecast
As a result, the only explanation is that the weather didn’t care for him on that particular day and turned completely around just to cover the inside of his vehicle in snow.
The Price of Paper
As much as we’d like to feel sorry for this person, we’re not sure they deserved it. Noodles in the center of a paper plate surrounded by hot liquid? To be honest, what did they expect? As if throwing a match at gasoline and not expecting it to start a blaze is like doing so.
The Price of Paper
But hey, maybe they weren’t thinking clearly because they were tired. We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because we all make silly mistakes from time to time. In some cases, the price tag was simply greater for some than for others.
