Sometimes you can't know exactly how life is going to mess with your day. It could be as small as you forgetting to wear matching shoes, or it could be as big as your car getting completely covered in eel slime. You just can't know what kind of unfortunate moments of failure and chaos could be coming your way.

You never know when messes large and small can present themselves and wreak havoc upon your life. Your car could get eaten up by a sinkhole, you could accidentally leave a whole book in your washing machine, or you could get your keys stuck in your teeth. It's a decent reminder that uneventful days aren't bad days.
Life has it's conventional and sometimes expected lows, like getting fired or missing the bus, but sometimes it has refreshingly unconventional mishaps. Sometimes you're having a decently fine breakfast and a bat flies into your food. Sometimes you're tire is flattened not by a screw but by a throwing star. It's a reminder that oftentimes, uneventful days aren't bad days.
Misfortune can arise at any time, and in way too many flavors. It could be something as simple as ruined concrete or something as spectacular as a spilled truckload of herring. Also goose attacks. You can never forget about goose attacks. Wherever there are people, there are unfortunate moments of failure and chaos.
Sometimes the days you don't remember are the best ones. Not because anything particularly good happened, but because a strange and specific mishap did not happen. You can never be too sure of what mess large or small will be just over the horizon, but if one thing is for sure, it's that misfortune puts things in perspective.
There's something about strange and specific mishaps that have the power to put things in perspective. Even if it's a boring day, you can make that day seem slightly better when you realize you probably didn't have paint explode in your living room or a boulder land on your car.
As life gets weirder and weirder, strange moments of misfortune are still going on. While the world has it's challenges, people are still dropping mountains of eggs, having their lives invaded by cows, and leaving their car parked in the exact spot where it can get crushed. So here are some more Monday misfortune moments.
Unfortunate things happen all the time, but they usually fall under the category of "typical crap that happens to everybody." Here are some unfortunate moments of failure and chaos that you don't really expect, like 10,000 cracked eggs or a Frisbee in your windshield.
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.
Yeah, Mondays are stupid. Most of us have to go back to work and deal with with our idiot bosses, horribly boring coworkers, demanding clients, and irrational customers. Whether you're dealing with a hangover or just the dread of another finished weekend, even a normal Monday isn't a good day. To put things in perspective, here is some misfortune, failure and general chaos to make your probably regular day seem a little better while you're on the toilet at work.
Your can never be too sure what kind of chaos and failure life will bring you. There are insane snowdrifts that bury your car, people driving through concrete, ruined art projects and dogs chewing through doors. Life is an artist and chaos and misfortune are its implements.
Just when things are going well, someone falls through the ceiling. You can never be too sure how things will go wrong next, but one thing's for sure and that's that the universe will never run out of ways to screw people over. Unfortunate moments punctuate our lives, and add a heaping helping of chaos and failure.
Life is unpredictable, and some unfortunate moments are bound to happen. All you can really do is take them in stride and take some solace in the fact that other people also have to deal with life's unfortunate failures and moments of chaos. There's runaway tires, lumber spills on the freeway, and deceptively baked bread. Given the option, you kinda hope for the bread one.
If you think your life is boring, then things are probably going okay. Unfortunate moments will add chaos to peoples lives. Whether it's something big like a train derailment or something small and frustrating like a falling tree smooshing your garbage bin, failure and chaos will definitely make life more interesting, but definitely not better.
Life has its unfair share of unfortunate failures and moments of chaos. Things break, things get stuck, things melt and things explode. Knowing that, you just kinda have to take everything in stride. Wherever you go, chaos and misfortune will follow.
