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.

In times of doubt, check the tapes. The internet is brimming with fake reviews, as well as wonderful responses from the companies themselves. What we haven't seen is someone give such a detailed, minute-by-minute account of the reviewer's visit. This is some very thorough destruction.
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.

When you say it's indestructible, it better be indestructible.
Meet the Titan cable, an iPhone cable that can't be destroyed because it has a very thick, metal casing. We'll see about that.
The fine folk over at The Verge took the Titan cable's can't be destroyed claims a little too seriously. While Titan probably meant, like, the end of the cable won't fray or wear out, the Verge decided to see how it held up to a samurai sword.
The results, as you probably guessed, don't favor the cable.
As Steve Jobs would say, "It just works."
The good thing about iPhones is that there is an infinite amount of ways to destroy them. Whether you’re interested in a crushing, a frying, or an old fashioned dunking in the toilet, there's a iPhone death for you. Unlike the actual phone, the destruction of an iPhone is entirely customizable.
However, few iPhone deaths are as cool as the one The Backyard Scientists pulled off in this video. Taking a page from Terminator 2: Judgement Day’s saddest scene, they dipped their iPhone in Lava to similar results.
This isn’t as sad as that moment, but it’s still really cool. Once it’s submerged, the iPhone comes completely apart. But the real money is when they pour the contents into a cast-iron pan, which looks straight-up like T-1000. You’ve got to check this out.
