15 People Sharing Their Bad Luck and No-Good Days
Some days seem determined to be annoying from the minute they start. Nothing truly disastrous happens, but suddenly the elevator button is fake, someone has parked in a place that clearly isn’t a parking space, or the simplest request somehow produces the strangest possible result. They’re the kinds of problems that aren’t serious enough to ruin your life, but are definitely irritating enough to photograph and complain about online. Thankfully, Reddit is full of people doing exactly that. From questionable design choices to everyday situations that went unnecessarily wrong, these people shared the little moments that made their days just a bit worse.
That Button Was Never Going to Work
When an elevator’s “close door” button fell off, it revealed something mildly infuriating: there was apparently nothing connecting it to the elevator in the first place.
When Your Boyfriend Buys New Silverware
Someone asked their boyfriend to buy new silverware and ended up with utensils that double as wrenches. Technically, he completed the assignment.
Maybe Don’t Put Barbecue Sauce in a Shaker
A barbecue restaurant decided to serve its house sauce in a shaker. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have considered what happens when sticky barbecue sauce meets a bunch of tiny holes.
That’s Definitely Not a Parking Spot
Someone apparently looked at this tiny concrete island, surrounded by perfectly normal parking spaces, and decided it was exactly where their car belonged.
The Happy Meal Toy Is… One Tiny Croc
Someone opened their McDonald’s toy expecting something fun and found a single miniature Croc. Cute? Maybe. Useful? Absolutely not.
Saying Goodbye to the PS5
Hard times meant this person had to say goodbye to their PlayStation 5. Judging by the setup, at least the console had clearly been very well loved.
Those Beers Tasted Funny for a Reason
After finally going out for groceries and beer, this person drank a couple and noticed they tasted strange. A closer look revealed mold around the bottles and even floating inside them. Not exactly the relaxing drink they had planned.
The Vacuum Didn’t Make the Elevator
Something went very wrong while moving this vacuum through an elevator. Part of it made the trip, while the rest was left behind.
That’s One Way to End a Ride
This rider discovered that the plastic throttle tube had snapped inside the grip. That’s a pretty effective way for a motorcycle ride to end earlier than planned.
This Bread Is Well Past Toasted
Whatever this loaf was supposed to become, this definitely wasn’t it. The end result came out of the oven looking less like fresh bread and more like a piece of charcoal.
The Mirror Almost Melted the Window
Someone’s mom accidentally left a makeup mirror sitting in front of the window all day. When she came home, she discovered the reflected sunlight had focused enough heat onto the window frame to scorch and partially melt it.
Leaned Back a Little Too Far
All it took was leaning back too far for this toilet tank to crack. The emergency strap holding everything together really completes the picture.
The Safety Cord Didn’t Survive
This person didn’t realize the safety cord was sitting between the cutters until it was too late. The tool sliced straight through it, leaving several pieces and one very short-lived safety feature behind.
Getting Stuck in the Bathroom at Work
Going to the bathroom at work became a much bigger problem when the entire door handle came off. At least they had photographic evidence for explaining why their bathroom break took so long.
That’s Not How a Cup Is Supposed to Look
Someone received their Coca-Cola order and got a cup that had been badly crushed out of shape. It may technically still hold a drink, but that’s about the nicest thing you can say about it.
