We need no more proof that misfortune abounds and life is uncertain, but life just keeps giving us more evidence every day. Cars roll into ditches, lasagnas get flung, and dogs try to eat bees. There's no stopping the misfortune that can happen in our lives, and if one thing is for sure, life has an incredible way of making up new ways for things to go wrong.
As we trudge through life, we're met with almost too many flavors of chaos. It seems like anything can go wrong down to the last minute detail. Ovens can shatter, cans of paint can explode all over your car, and pipes can freeze. A crowbar can go through your tire, a tree can fall into your kitchen, and your dog can eat a bee. The moments of failure and chaos never end, but luckily they don't happen all at once.
Hot damn dude, just because the one car is totaled doesn't mean you can go and total the rest. It's like this driver is trying to rustle up some job security by smashing into every other car on the street. What's amazing is after the first they just keep going.
Misfortune and failure is primed to strike at any moment. The ways it can hit are often cartoonish, like a melting ice cream cake or an exploding glass coffee table. Sure we can be careful, watch our steps and keep our noses clean, but that still won't stop chaos and its friends from entering our lives.
Almost everyone would rather be relaxing at home than having to do any of this annoying "paying your bills" bullcrap, but as dark as some things can seem on Monday morning, they could certainly be worse. Misfortune Monday lets you see people dealing with the fallout of chaos and failure and serves as a good reminder that maybe things are going alright.
If we know anything about this world, there will be unfortunate times when life make things complicated. Some will be mundane, like getting stiffed on french fries. Some will be bananas, like having a roof fall through your car. Seeing misfortune big and small might put things in perspective.
These moments range from mild inconvenience to wild calamity. They'll likely make you feel glad you don't have to go through this stuff, or you might just laugh at these peoples misfortune. If you're in the business of watching people have a bad time, we suggest checking out these day-changing moments.
There's something cathartic about watching bad things happen. We're not sure if this makes us bad people. Maybe it just makes us bored people. Anyway, here are some really unenviable times people had their day go awry due to some terrible or inconvenient unforeseen circumstance.
Life will throw a lot at you, from embarrassing inconveniences to exploded trucks of medical waste. Sometimes it's good to remember that we all share these hurdles and remind ourselves that we all have our own different sets of challenges. Other times it's fun to laugh at how ridiculously bad things can get. And boy, do things go bad a lot.
You may be having a bad day. But at least you didn't run a cargo ship into another cargo ship. Most Likely.
What we're trying to say is, maybe your mediocre day has actually been a pretty good day in disguise. Here's some people who have without a doubt gone through a rough patch.
