"Oil Shelf Collapsed at Supermarket" - InGeekiTrust
This is a slick and stubborn mess. And the most likely solution is to break the paper towel shelves! What did we learn here? ALWAYS have enough paper towels at home for the day disaster strikes.

"Always check the coffee machine in your hotel room." - Cold_Impress_8336
If you ever wondered why hotel coffee tastes like trash, this. Just, this. So carry some coffee sticks with you just in case!

Cleaned rooms at a 4/5 star hotel in Houston for 3yrs. NEVER think your room is clean. When traveling , use disinfectant wipes to clean toilet, sink area, phone, door handles and locks, drawers, lamps, switches, remote controls and anything else somebody else might have touched. I even bring my own sheets, blankets and pillows. When housekeeping cleans room, they don't have clean rags on their cart to clean with. They use they used towels that are laying on the floor to wipe everything down including the toilet and the coffee maker and glasses.

We think it might be time for a new contractor. And a drywall repair kit...

"Took the wife out of Rehab for a walk through the city. She was making a selfie and lost her grip on her crutch. It’s still there ……impossible to retrieve." - goprinterm
After you carry your wife back to rehab, you'll probably be in the market for some new crutches. But might we suggest some forearm crutch pads with velcro straps for next time?
nm (he/him) 3 months ago
Crutch user for 50 years here. DO NOT use this product, is dangerous. In case of fall for some reason you need to throw away the crutch and have your hands free to reduce, absorb the impact.
If you thought those were bad, just wait until you see what the universe has in store for these next unlucky individuals. It's almost like they angered the cosmic karma gods or something.

"Decided to boil some eggs while working from home…Needless to say I got a bit distracted with work… Water evaporated a lot faster than expected. What you see in the picture is a very much melted egg timer… I think this means I overcooked them. Luckily, fire alarm worked " - Old_Palpitation3846

"I didn’t think the suction cups were that strong on my forehead. I have work today. Is concealer my only hope? I regret this so much." - Able_Distribution209
We have so many questions. And most of them start with "why?" But alas, concealer is your only saving grace at this point.

Never give up on your scalloped potato dreams!! Simply get a cast iron baking dish and try again.

"Staircase in my friend’s apartment block just collapsed " - shineyink
Don't let a crumbling staircase leave you stranded! Keep an emergency ladder handy for unexpected situations, ensuring a safe escape route even when the stairs are out of commission.

"Decided to shave my head to give it a fresh start, turns out I have a bald spot. I’m female " - mookaroo
So first of all, loving the look. But we get it, a bald spot is on no one's Christmas wish list! So maybe try a good old-fashioned baseball cap for the next while?

"Dropped a box full of pins on my grey coloured carpet. Not all of the pins have yellow heads." - Cumulus-Crafts
So we see two solutions.
a) Move to a new house.
or
b) Use a pin magnet!
And finally, let's end on a high note (or at least a slightly less disastrous one) with a few more reminders that even when life throws you a curveball, it's important to keep your sense of humor. After all, laughter is the best medicine, even when it's at someone else's expense (in the nicest way possible, of course).

"Was about to get in my car to go to work…" - monster_eleven

"What now?" Stand back, take a picture or 12 to make sure you have the perfect angle and lighting... oh wait, I have a better idea. Make a video with lots of unnecessary detail and plenty of animated hand gestures, then post it to your channel. Next step, make a cup of tea and wait for all your followers to offer advice. OR, silly thought, fücking clean it up dumbäss!! "Don't forget to hit 'Like' and be sure to hit 'Subscribe' at the bottom!"

"She couldn't enjoy her pizza after a long day" - Mr9t9
This is truly heartbreaking. If this were us, we'd be wrapping that pizza up in cling film over and over again! Rather safe than sorry!
Darius S. (he/him) cis/grey 3 months ago
Yes, wrap your fresh hot pizza in cling film??? although, with Little Caesars it may be an improvement.

"my knife snapped in half my knife snapped in half while I was washing it. scared the shit out of me and now I’m one short" - Jada_D
Try doing that with a Damascus Knife and we will be impressed. A little scared but also impressed.
ginshun 3 months ago
That is a $10 knife, so I wouldn't have expected anything different. And damascus isn't magic. Its not anything superior than most high end modern knife steels. Any knife will do this if it is hardened to a certain point. In general, the harder the blade is, the longer it will stay sharp, but the more brittle it will be.

"I guess my sunscreen wasn't water resistant" - Pale-Equal
To this we say: "Good luck, sir." And we could offer some cooling Aloe Vera to ease the sting. Although, it won't do much for your bruised ego!
