Try as hard as we might, misfortune often gets the best of people. Even if nothing exciting happens to you today, it's at least a decent reminder that most days don't go too bad. You probably didn't get blasted off of a ship with a water cannon today, and your car probably didn't flip over ironically.

If you think you're having a bad day, there's still a pretty good chance you didn't lose a speed boat on the freeway. Misfortune gets the best of people all the time. Seeing it happen can put things in perspective, it can be somewhat therapeutic, or it can be simply intriguing to see all the things that can go wrong.
Even if you account for every little variable in your life, something will happen that you completely didn't expect. Usually it's something bad. It could be as small as spilling spaghetti on your clothes, or as large as spilling a truckload of apples all across the highway.

For more, here are some times misfortune got the best of people.
