Life isn’t always breezy. It can sneak up on us and take us by surprise as it knocks us to the ground. Sometimes, we have great days. Other times, not so much. Whether it’s an issue of your laptop crashing right before deadline, dropping a tray of eggs after you’ve just mopped the floor, mistakenly putting a red sock in the laundry with your beautiful white linen, missing the flight to your long-awaited island holiday, or something much worse, we’ve all had days where we wish we’d stayed in bed.
There’s something oddly gratifying about knowing someone had a worse time than us. And that’s why Bored Panda has compiled a list of totally unfortunate posts from people who could win gold in the Terrible Day Olympics, if there ever were such a thing. Keep scrolling, and don’t forget to thank your lucky stars that you’ve never made this list.

My 50th Birthday Party Invited All Of My Friends
Figured it be nice to throw myself My 50th birthday party, invited all of my friends some would need to drive an hour to visit. It started an hour and half ago. Purchased hamburgers, hot dogs for a BBQ, No one has shown up yet.
Me too and it's why I will never throw a party for myself
Load More Replies...happened to me with my 23rd as well, edit, and i am stupid enough to plan another one for my 40th
Throwing parties expecting friends to come is never a good idea. No matter how old are you.
I'm an introvert and so are my best friends, so we are not really into parties. But I do know they'd be with me if I needed them or if I wanted to celebrate something special. If you can't expect your friends to come to your birthday party (without warning or explaining, like in this case) I think you really need new friends. A true friend would never, ever do this. I'm not saying attending parties is an obligation, but letting people know you are not coming definitely is. (I'm not trying to criticise or mock you, the whole situation is very sad).
Load More Replies...The only thing worse is not having any friends to invite. Regardless, both situations are terribly sad.
I think *this* is worse. If you don't have friends, at least you know you are alone and you can try to change the situation if it makes you unhappy. But this is horrible. Even if OP were a s****y person, the "friends" are not much better. They pretend to be friendly for whatever reason but they couldn't care less. Just be honest with people. If you don't like a person, don't pretend you are friends.

A shop's rather old lift (elevator) broke / the safety mechanism kicked in. The safety limit was 10 adults (assuming - it said in small print- about 80kg per adult). Needs updating for 2025 to 6 adults.
Before any back surgery get at least 2 opinions, including a neurosurgeon.
Properly tempered glass is VERY strong. Improperly tempered glass (or a sheet of it that is too thin) is not.

One Of The Screws Holding My Spine In Place Snapped
I had a L4-L5 / L5-S1 spinal fusion. I was sitting at my desk when I felt (and heard) a huge snap in my back. Almost immediately I couldn’t feel or move my left leg.
Turns out that one of the screws snapped. My surgeon was able to add another s***w but had to leave the broken piece in there. 0 out 10 stars - would not recommend.
Wow, with that amount of displacement, enough to cause loss of feeling, you were very lucky the spinal cord damage was not permanent. Here's my back with the two 33cm long rods in place. scan0003-6...f5fd2c.jpg
I know a lot of these posts are for fun and games, but professionally speaking, I have to urge this, seriously: Whatever implants you have (spine, joint replacement, stents, plate and screws, JUST screws, bone graft, limb replacement, anything): If your implant(s) fail, ESPECIALLY if you have radiological proof as in OP's x-ray, you absolutely need to report it to the manufacturer of those implants or to a competent Regulatory authority. I've seen comments along the lines of 'wow, that happened to me too.' Well, you really need to report that to your local competent authority (In the US, that would be the FDA, for example) or directly to the device manufacturer. Reporting failures like this, especially if you report them directly to the manufacturer, are what leads to things like recalls. Recalls aren't great for the manufacturers. But if they need to happen, well, they won't happen if the complaints are just through social media. They need to be documented. There may be 'patient specific' factors, there may not. But the manufacturer(s) won't know unless you report such failures. Anyway, I'm getting off of my soap box. Edit to add: Go to your competent authority, or direct to the manufacturer. Don't just go to Reddit or TikTok or whatever.
Isn't that something the doctor would do?
Load More Replies...I had a L4-L5 fusion where all the screws came out resulting in a repeat fusion 3 months after the original surgery.
Quick question Snazzy, I have a prolapsed disc in that position, did the surgeries work, how's your quality of life now, I'm seeing a consultant next month?
Load More Replies...This happened to my dad, and he had an entire track of screws and bolts all along either side of his spine. Freaking metal pieces BENT in such little time. Surgery after surgery to fix it all, only to go elsewhere later on. We told them, "Could you please quit using the tools from Dollar General?"
I have a titanium plate and screws holding together the outer toe on my left foot. About 6 months after the surgery, one of the screws broke. Thankfully no problems other than a bump.
Wow, when I broke that one they just taped it to the next.
Load More Replies...Are those screws from Temu or what? I don´t understand how it can happen. No material testing?
Material is fine in general but it's hard to test every single individual screw and still have it usable without a significant (huge?) financial impact.

He's wearing a yellow safety vest, so he could be a Utility worker, a Surveyor, Property Assessor, etc. If he's in his official capacity, he's NOT trespassing.

Please don't walk around in it and please don't let your dogs run around in it unsupervised.

I Sneezed Too Hard And Messed Up My Back, I'm 28
What's worse is that a month ago I had a heart attack too, I really do feel like I'm cursed, had zero health issues my whole life.
Oh my God this poor person. 28 and had a heart attack AND back issues so bad you landed in the hospital?? That's terrifying.
I broke both arms at the same time at 10 years old. I never had illusions about being healthy.
I sound like a herd of elephants running down a path when I sneeze. I let it all go because I knew a man who tried to hold his sneeze and pulled his back out. I'm a small woman so whenever I sneeze, I get 'the look'. hahahahaha!
I’m In A Wheelchair And This Is The Only Elevator
How do you deal with that? If I come across a person in your situation I just ask if I can help, and it is usually yes, and "give me instructions until we get there". Unfortunately, when these impediments are reported, they are ignored.
I have helped countless people in wheelchairs in this unfortunate, but all too common predicament. It's really sad, that in 2025 there are way more places in noncompliance with the ADA. I single handedly pulled a lady up stairs very similar to this in front of a large group of people and not one of them offered to help. Tweaked my back bad and I was sore for days afterwards, but I would do it again.
Load More Replies...Well that is one thing we get right in the US is accessibility. I am in construction and its a huge deal and there are inspections just to check that we are building correctly for wheel chair access. Ive seen jobs where whole sections of concrete is torn out and redone because it did not meet the requirements.
The US is indeed often rated in the top 10 disability-friendly countries worldwide :) unfortunately your current president is already making steps to change that for the worse (accessibility is part of DEI, which he is eagerly dismantling)
Load More Replies...I use a walker and one day a Fed-ex driver delivered an enormous package that said Treadmill on the front of the box. First it was the wrong address, second he placed it over my patio stair which is my only exit. Yeah fun times. I can't imagine how frustrating that is for someone who uses a wheelchair. Occasionally I do but not always.
47 wants to do away with the federal laws that make lack of accessibility a crime.
Is that the controller for it (in the image)? I’m not super familiar with wheelchairs so I was wondering :)

@Cin, the sun is at a low angle hampering their vision, and they hit an object that is the exact same color as the roadway. Plus, in heavy fast-moving traffic it's probably safer to just hit it than to swerve or stomp on your brakes.

Colleague had his car written off by a lorry tyre in the middle of the carriageway. Can in front saw it and swerved round it, leaving my colleague no time to react. Destroyed the sump, and lost all its oil, and killed the engine by the time he was able to stop safely.
More likely to be water from the radiator I think.

My Canned Curry Sauce Exploded In My Face
I had this happen with a small jar of horseradish. As soon as I turned the lid, it popped of and the horseradish hit me in the face. My face was on fire and nose burning from the fumes. I had just bought it and wasn't even close to the "best buy" date printed on it. It must have fermented in the jar, because the pressure was so great, I didn't find the little metal lid for a month....it was on top of the cupboard!!! My face turned red and eyes burned for hours, even after rinsing and a shower. I don't wear glasses and would have helped, if I did.
A lot of these pictures are worrying or definitely deeply unpleasant. This one? I couldn't help smiling. I mean, yes, it's unfortunate - but her eyes got away with it and washing her face will sort out *most* of the rest of the trouble. Well, except for cleaning all the other places the curry sauce landed (hair, clothes, floor, possibly the ceiling...)

Girlfriend Found The Engagement Ring A Week Before I Was Going To Propose
I've had the ring for a little over 2 months now. Hid it behind some old books on the shelves in my office. After some of our friends started posting old yearbook photos in our group chat, she ran to go look through our yearbooks too. It didn't occur to me until too late...
We have a trip to Chicago coming up within a week. So much for surprises.
Don't make it too fancy, I recommend the Berghoff downtown if you are into good beer and a great crowd. Chicago is a great place to propose, and it is a beautiful ring. I lived there. So if you want to go to the top of a building, go to the John Hancock Building and opt for the bar and get a west view (sunset). At the bar you just buy a couple of cocktails and you can walk around the 365 view. If you want a romantic dinner go to the floor above. The restaurant is phenomenal.
'Don't make it too fancy.' Proceeds to describe an event that sounds incredibly fancy to this simple Scotsman.
Load More Replies...The engagement shouldn't be a surprise. It should be discussed by both people in advance.
But if you agree to propose at one point but don't precise the date, it can still be an agreed surprise

My skin flares up like this but I'm not allergic to anything. Just sensitive skin everytime it gets hurt
This is a specific test for allergies. That's why there are numbers. Each site is injected with a micro dose of a potential allergen. Then you wait 20 minutes and check for reaction. So in this case it is 100% allergies
Load More Replies...My nephew was like this. The doctor told my sister, "If he can't eat it, he's allergic to it!" He had no food allergies, but just about everything else. Luckily, he outgrew most.
My brother was like that allergic to 24 of the 25 things they tested him for
That's what my test looks like too. I started getting allergy shots when I was 6 years old.
If I had the money to pay for the test, I'm sure it would be a similar result. Instead I've just had to try and remember things I've done if I've had a reaction. Then try and remember them all when a doctor asks. The one that's frustrating me at the moment is a new cleaner I have to use at work (the only food safe option). I don't know if it's the un-named fragrance or one of the other ingredients.
I remember that. At 50 i'm down to tree and other tree pollens, juniper, sage, cedar and ragweed. Life in the high desert is so fun! Dust. I forgot dust.
I never had seasonal allergies in my life until I moved to New Mexico

My son is also mildly allergic to cats. He doesn't react on our cat, but he has allergic reaction on the long haired cats.

They may not be allergic to any of that, they may have a skin condition like dermatographism where the skin reacts to touch.
Highly unlikely considering the control spot is negative. They do a histamine and saline spot as part of this test.

I Paid Extra For Ultra “Thin” Lenses And This Is What I Got. This Thing Looks Like They’re Bulletproof
Betting this is Walmart. I paid extra for ultra thing and got glasses double the thickness of my other pair. Refused to accept them and got much better from another company
Load More Replies...Presumably they can only be thinned to a certain point and still be effective, in which case ethically they shouldn't be taking money for thinning them, especially without letting the person know.
I used to have to deal with this before cataract surgery. My left lens thinned would be the one furthest away in the picture while the right would be somewhat 'normal'. There were frames I just couldn't wear because of the lenses.
Load More Replies...B******t, I'm at -14 and my glasses are not so thick. Either the glasses in the picture are much stronger, or of ridiculous size.
Load More Replies...Don’t look into the sun, you’ll burn two holes clear through your head. On a brighter note though get a lottery ticket… With those glasses, you can see the future.
I also have to pay extra for thinner lenses. But they can only thin them out some, it's not a miracle work. Luckily I've always gotten great service while buying glasses, and have always been told that I just can't have certain looks (or can, but the would look bad). Thin frames just don't work with thick lenses, and the seller should clearly tell you that. My vision is +4.something in one eye and +5 in another and have been wearing glasses since I was 2. As a kid I hated my glasses and tried to have more unnoticeable ones, but as a teen I found my style in bigger nerdy ones and now love them. That also solved the problem with thick lenses.
Probably us, without glasses. I was for decades.

Hope I don't get in trouble, but for decades people in the US have sworn by the Avon Skin So Soft. Hope you can get it because it really works.
Happens to my siblings so often and my sister is actually allergic to them so they are more than double the size bites. Only thing that helps is cream with lidocaine in it.
One (hyphenated) word: Campho-Phenique. It's a preparation of camphor oil. Insects hate camphor oil. Spread some of that on your exposed skin and none of those flying pests will land on you. It's also good for keeping people at a distance, so good for more than one type of pest. 😂
Just walk through that field that was sprayed with pesticides from a few posts up.
Avon Skin So Soft works we used it in the Army. Also make a paste of flour and water and apply to bites. It works

The medical thing is more important sure. But you still could have asked them to reset your monitor. It's a fast fix. This has happened to me before too, and they really just do a reboot.
As you likely know, only the flight attendant can do that. (Yes I realize you were probably joking, but some people may not realize it is easily fixed by the attendant)

I Walked Through A Tick Nest
Those are tiny seeds, maybe Palmer's amaranth. Some people call tiny seeds like this "beggar's lice" or "beggar's ticks," but they're still seeds. Horrible to have to get them out of your pants, socks, and shoelaces.
I think you are right. I got covered in deer ticks when I was a kid at Summer camp. They're black/brownish. I literally ran to a nearby lake and jumped in, and then had help picking them off me for next hour or so

OMG - my son is at 3.5 years of dealing with Tick Disease. He did not have any of the "typical" symptoms and so went many years not knowing he had it. It's horrible and has wrecked his health.
When hiking, it is said to tuck your pants into your shoes to avoid this from happening and getting on your skin. From the comments below, these aren't ticks but would be scary if they were.
When my son was younger, he came in from outside. He'd been sitting in the grass in the back lot with friends, wearing shorts. And he found a tick on his SCRÓTUM. 😬 Dad had to help with that one! 😂 We did take him to the doctor after that, but thankfully he didn't suffer any ill effects.

I would grab my basket of dirty laundry and use those clothes to sop bits of it up and toss them in right away 😅 and then maybe cut up some old tshirts or grab some old rags and use the fabric to soak up the rest. Put them in a sealed Tupperware and just toss a piece of soapy tshirt/rag into the wash whenever I start a load. It’s salvageable 😊
This is such a great idea LOL! You could even use the bits in the Tupperware as soapy wipes for cleaning. Bonus that floor is going to be SUPER CLEAN 😀😉😊
Load More Replies...Honestly, use towels enough to contain the spill and let it dry. It's easier to scrape it up than to try and sop it up.
I either would: (A.) Still go to bed. That's a tomorrow issue. (B.) Grab some clothes ready for the washer, sop them up, and start a load right then.
The laminate flooring!!! I couldn’t go to bed knowing the soap was just soaking into that 😅 also laundry soap can actually damage some fabrics so you’ve got to be careful adding soap to them and leaving them to sit like that - you can get oily looking stains or discolouration or fabric damage

Packed In A Hurry. These Are The Sandals I Brought For A Week At The Beach
It will be a blessing in disguise, trust me! When I was finishing high school, my mom took me on a vacation through Italy and Spain. On the first day, my only sandals broke. So we went to the first, tiny shoe shop we encountered. It turned out to be a mini shoe making "factory" owned by the same family for eons. A very old gentleman helped me chose a new pair of sandals, actually put them on my feet, treated us like royaly. The sandals were proper leather, simple, but masterfully made, and not expensive at all. I had an unforgettable experience, and wore those comfy sandals for almost 15 years before I finally broke them.
I was taking a cruise and I forgot a swimsuit. being a large size lady, it's not so easy to just walk into a shop and grab the first one you see.
I once got all the way to Queensland and was in the middle of dinner with friends before realising I had not packed any underwear.
We went to Key West and I forgot to pack mine. Bought a really nice pair of Merrells there, still have them and it's been at least 14 years
Slept In This Bed 2 Nights Before Getting Curious And Pulling Sheets Back And Look At What The H**l I Find
This is absolutely disgusting and I hate that I booked this motel for 7 nights. I’m already struggling and now I can’t help but to think someone was m******d on this bed me and my fiancé are sleeping on.
Yes. I almost brought one of thos black light flashlights to a hotel stay, but then decided it'd be better not to know...
Load More Replies...That doesn't look like blood, more like someone crapped the bed, literally.
Honestly I have a stain like this on my mattress from the time I was sitting in bed with my bf passing a 2L of Coke back and forth and one of us dropped it 😅 don’t ask why we were doing that, it was stupid and we learned our lesson. My mattress 100% looks like murder now.
Load More Replies...If it was blood the color would be an odd rusty blackish brown. It's more likely to be vomit or feces.
Never ask questions that you don't want to hear the questions to. Like "Are there any stains on this mattress?"
This is why I bring/buy from the nearest Walmart Lysol spray and bleach wipes. I douse everything with the Lysol, from mattress to carpet to TV remote, and wipe down the bathroom and hard furniture. Thanks, Dateline, for ruining my peace of mind when I travel!
This Dinner Took Me 30 Minutes To Make And The Oven Light Bulb Shattered
The bulb doesn't look shattered at all. Just remove the bulb and any bigger chunks of glass and then just go around the possible debris area. It looks way to yummy to throw away.
Normally, in my experience, oven lights have a strong, heavy glass cover over the oven light's bulb, just to protect against this. Either this one was missing or it never had it.
Looks like the end that screws in might be the broken part

This happened to me with my engagement ring, and yes, we both were happy it was not my finger.
Load More Replies...A lot of toolmakers and machinists have these wedding rings. They're made from tungsten carbide and will shatter instead of pinching off your finger.
Am I the only one thinking of Ed Harris in the Abyss? BTW, this can go the other way as well. Friend's dad had a thick, "manly" wedding band. One day he was doing some manual labour with his mates, and at some point was riding at the back of a pick up for a short distance. When they stopped, he didn't bother opening the flap thingy at the back, just put his hand on top to balance himself, and jumped off. The ring got caught on somehting, and ripped his finger clean off.
My first request in the emergency clinic was help getting my wedding band off my hand with the broken wrist cause folks like you post these warning stories. Thank you! Band was saved and wrist is now titanium-reinforced.
Could you melt in down & remake, that keeps it the same ring ?
Looks like it’s made out of something very hard like carbide rather than a standard metal (it would have bent potentially causing more injury than the impact alone). Probably not very easy to reform - maybe not even possible. “Fun fact” there’s a reason why rings etc are banned at a lot of work places - don’t google wedding ring degloving injury during lunch!
Load More Replies...It's crazy how it snapped in half! Usually, they squash down or break in one spot from what you usually see. Now I did have a ring made of carved goldstone, and it snapped like this. I wonder if this ring is made of carved Hematite? It looks like it could be, but this isn't a great photo. I know someone who had a Hemitite ring, and it broke like this. It seems funny that a metal ring is stronger than a stone ring. I'd bet because the metal is still somewhat flexible, whereas stone has no flex.
You're lucky. look up the story about Jimmy Fallon and what happened to his wedding ring.
I lost one in the Atlantic, one in the Pacific, and one in the Gulf of Mexico.

Power Went Out For 18 Hours During A 106 Degree Heat Wave… 3 Days After A $400 Fridge Restock

There's usually a deductible. I lost $600 worth of food during hurricane Helene. Sounds like a lot but I had a deep freezer stocked.

You have to put sunscreen on more than once. Factor 50 = every 50 minutes.
Your sunscreen was either: not high enough SPF, not properly (re-)applied per instructions or many years old and lost its efficacy. . .

I can see a patch where the "rim" of the sole that's glued to the lower side of the upper is missing for a couple of inches (?) beginning just in front of line from the bottom of the laces.

Load More Replies...Myself among many other people have lost their computers to a recent corrupt Windows update. I learned with the new laptop to go ahead an turn off automatic update. Ironically, I have always done this with prior PCs, just not the last laptop. It was a crappy Dell Inspiron. I was going to upgrade anyway.

Who responds to loads of BP posts with judgemental questions?
Load More Replies...I have had to learn the hard way, especially with glass I placed in the freezer.
Load More Replies...Tiny glass splinters will f you up just as much, if not more than, large noticeable chunks.

I Thought I Grabbed Silver Wrapping Paper… It’s Clear
I bought two rolls of nice brightly coloured wrapping paper. They both turned out to be freaking cellophane.
It's supposed to be for wrapping things like gift baskets. Meant to contain, not conceal.

I do hope they sent you the bill to cover all costs caused by the resulting power outage.
An 6oz plastic drone would not have caused a power outage.
Load More Replies...Ahh, intelligent drones are here, cos 'it' decided to touch a power line.

Right When My Morning Was Starting To Get Better
Wha-what even-??! Is it cereal?? This is why I NEVER bring food near my electronics; and mine are A LOT less fancy than this! Really helps to have designated *eating* ,*no-eating* areas. My desk and bed and crafting table are no-eating areas, for example... x___X
I wish I had the space for that. I used to eat all my meals at the dining table but my new house has no space for one.

Was About To Go Out On My Bike
lucas radford, go get a job and stop spreading hate. This isn’t going to pay your bills.
LR is a one hit wonder - all he has the intelligence to do is cry BS.

Really? It don't look flat to me? Why so agressive and mean? Who hurt you?

This letter looks fake. So many grammatical and otherwise unprofessional errors.
I've never seen a college acceptance letter that says "we have decided to admit you..." Every acceptance letter that I've ever seen whether personally or otherwise, usually says something along the lines of "we are pleased to inform you of admission into blah blah program..." Not to mention other errors throughout the email and most schools also send an acceptance offer or denial via snail mail, as well.
Sure ya did. Wow people will make up all kinds of c**p for internet points.
Locked Myself Out Of My Hotel Room (On The Balcony Of The 2nd Floor)
Stepped out onto the balcony of my hotel room and shut the door behind me (it’s cold outside). The safety bar fell down and now the door is barred shut. I’m on the 2nd floor.
To make matters worse, the security latches on the door from the hall are set. The maintenance guy can’t get into my room to let me back in.
That sounds like a very stupid design to me. What about emergencies? What door locks itself when closed, very stupid. Or BS
I had similar doors at a hotel. Kept them open by jamming a sock between them
Load More Replies...Oh. This sucks. I never completely shut the door for this reason.
I Jumped Up And Hit My Ceiling Fan Being Tall Sucks
I had a boyfriend when I was in high school who was 6ft tall. I was (still am) short, like the rest of my family, and our grandad built my house to accommodate this, with low benchtops, cupboards and lights. One of the first times he came over to my place he hit his head on the lounge light and the glass shade fell off and smashed. Since he wasn't the only tall visitor that had issues, we ended up raising that light, since it was suspended on a chain that could be shortened.
Good idea and I'm hoping since it's been shortened, that there haven't been any more issues? Also, was your boyfriend okay?

Went out to dinner with family tonight for my birthday out of nowhere the restaurant speakers starts absolutely blasting with ye olde happy birthday someone appears behind me with a plate with a candle, already mortified cause they're playing the song so absurdly loud they place the plate in front of me, and it's got literally nothing on it, just a candle, then the song ends and they p**s off back to the kitchen or whatever, then 5 minutes later someone comes out and takes the plate and candle away and that was it.
Oh You Think You Are Having A Bad Day?
To be fair... I was halfway down the road (driving) on Thursday and realised I was still wearing my slippers.
I've actually made it all the way to work, in my slippers. Luckily, they weren't my blatantly obvious monster feet/claw slippers and could pass for some type of Ugg clog/slipon shoe.
