These People Experienced The Worst Luck Imaginable And Had No Choice But To Take A Pic (50 New Pics)
Some days were simply made for singing Daniel Powter’s ‘Bad Day’; and while the reasons for such performances tend to differ from person to person, one thing that they all have in common is that no one’s immune to a bad day every once in a while.
Since many people nowadays like to capture their life in pictures and videos, there are arguably millions of records of days that did not go as anticipated, many of which end up being shared online. That is where we have found these pictures of people not having the best of days, which work as a great reminder that they, too, shall pass. Scroll down to see what has made people’s “blue skies fade to gray”, and remember that the skies ought to clear up again sometime.
Seeking to learn more about how to manage emotions on a bad day, Bored Panda got in touch with Robert Taibbi, a licensed clinical social worker with nearly five decades of experience and more than ten published books, whose main focus is cognitive-behavioral therapy and changing dysfunctional patterns and behaviors in everyday life. Scroll down to find his thoughts in the text below.

I was stuck on the elevator once at the college where I teach. No emergency phone and no cell service. I managed to pull the doors apart just a wee bit and tell someone on the other side. Was stuck for over an hour and missed teaching an entire class. And I had to pee really, really bad! Words of experience: NEVER board an elevator if you have to pee!

I got stuck in an elevator at a former job of mine. I didn’t have my cell with me (because of COURSE that was the day I forgot it at home) but thankfully the emergency phone worked. It took two hours for me to be freed. Luckily I used the restroom when I left work before getting in the elevator.

First Days Of The National Toilet Paper Shortage In March Of 2021, Colorized

That's a "what are you gonna do about it" face if I've ever seen one
Id row 1 year ago
My husband used to call me a crazy lady for always having a stock of toilet paper. I always bought an extra one when it went on sale and over the years, I accumulated about 150 rolls. It doesn't expire and it's not like the price will ever decrease, so why not buy an extra when on sale? He never called me crazy again after the shortage. There were lines of cars trying to get to Mexico for it! That was just crazy to me. Those were strange days.

There’s never a good day to have a bad day; being a ball of negative emotion doesn’t really make life for you or those around you any easier. Yet it’s also not easy to snap out of such a state when it seems that everything is going downhill. Fast.
Be that as it may, it’s worth giving certain calming techniques a go, as they can help us deal with certain unfavorable situations more easily.
“Once you become emotionally overwhelmed, your prefrontal lobes, the rational part of your brain goes offline, and your thoughts tend to go down rabbit holes, lose perspective, only making your mood worse. Your goal is to take the time to calm yourself so you can get your rational brain back online, and begin to see the situation more clearly and realistically and come up with a plan to solve the problem,” Robert Taibbi told Bored Panda, expanding on why it is important to try to control your emotions when something unforeseen happens.

Can’t Have Nice Things
Bouche and Audi and Shyla, Oh My! 1 year ago
Bring us a comfy bed that allows us to celebrate nature, and we will use it.
When discussing the best ways to get a grip on your emotions, Taibbi suggested that it’s best to look at it as a two-part process. “Part one is trying to calm down. Start by simply acknowledging how you are feeling—saying to yourself that you’re feeling anxious can help you feel less anxious.
“Obviously, getting support, talking to someone who cares about you can help,” he added. “Deep breathing helps calm your mind. Becoming mindful and focusing on something intently—your surroundings, what you’re doing—can get you out of your head.
“Write down how you’re feeling or exercise—doing 10 minutes of vigorous exercise increases your endorphins,” the expert suggested, adding that self care—like taking a hot bath—or listening to music you like can help, too.

When I was waiting for my dad to pick me up, this little boy was in the lobby with his mom and I could tell by the way they were talking it was his first visit. He suddenly looked at me in terror. I had no idea why. It got so uncomfortable I went to the bathroom and I noticed I had blood streaming down my face because I was so numb I couldn't feel a thing and I needed to change the gauze. This has been decades ago and I still think about that poor kid.

Car is one of the safest places during a thunder storm, the metal chassis creates a Faraday cage.

WTF? All those years rushing to a vehicle for protection and then I read this! The closed metal chassis is suppose to act like a Faraday cage. Okay, just got the poop from the National Weather Service: A portion of the discharge may find its way into the vehicle's electrical system and may damage or destroy electronic components, potentially leaving the car inoperable. The lightning may also find its way into the small defrosting wires that are embedded in rear windows causing the windows to shatter.

I was sitting on my bed once when ball lightning came in through my window, raced down the stairs and out the patio door in the family room below. The hair on my arms stood straight up. My mom was on the phone in the kitchen. She yelled, "Ouch! What are you kids doing up there! That hurt me through the phone line!" Don't talk on a landline during a thunderstorm.
Keeping your emotions in check is crucial not only for your relationships with others—which are likely to be affected if one is led by their emotions too much—but your health, too. Take anger, for instance; the American Psychological Association (APA) emphasized that such an emotion can lead to coronary heart disease and stress-related problems, including insomnia, digestive problems and headaches, in addition to a tendency to violent and risky behavior and damaged relationships.

APA suggested that keeping anger at bay can be done with the help of a few steps. First and foremost, it’s important to try not to let anger flourish, which calls for being aware of certain warning signs, signaling that you might be close to the anger zone. Upon recognizing such signs, it’s necessary to either step away from the situation or turn to certain techniques that can help you control the emotions that are building up.

Another important step to take in order to manage such negative emotions as anger more easily is focusing on your mindset. Firstly, while it’s not always easy, it’s important not to dwell on certain aggravating situations, especially if the issue has already been resolved. Clinging on to an infuriating event in the past is unproductive at best.
Secondly, when you’re angry, it’s best to try and focus on the positive, instead of the negative that can make you feel like things are worse than they actually are. According to APA, using a technique known as cognitive restructuring can help get rid of the negative “everything is bad” thoughts and replace them with a more favorable “this is frustrating, but it’s not the end of the world”.

If that fails, local newspapers.

Not *fix* the multiple problems, one of which is their consistent issuing of generic inhalers they know I am allergic to, just to respond... I'm thinking MP next?

Save budget airlines, legacy carriers and others with a 2 or 3 class layout typically make 82% of their ticketed revenue from business & first. All of those crammed in coach at a fraction of the cost account for less than 10% of the flight revenue Typically, cargo accounts for 5-7%. On budget airlines or those with a single class, they’re running on very very slim profit margins that require them to put as many people as possible in the seats in order to sell them for a reasonable cost. They also have to keep their birds in the air as long as possible to make money & avoid gate fees. Hence the quick turnarounds and shorter routes. If Southwest took out 12 seats (two rows) they’d be flying at or very near a loss.

100-Year-Old Family Cabin Burned To The Ground On The First Day Of Vacation

The VFD and heavy rains kept the fire from spreading so no other residences were damaged.

Hard luggage like this, doesn't always play well with automatic luggage handling systems if it's the type (like this) that doesn't have the rubberized bumpers on the corners.

martin734 1 year ago (edited)
Thankfully in the UK, such a phrase has no meaning whatsoever anymore. An insurance company in the UK must now specify precisely what risks are excluded from their cover, anything not specifically excluded must be covered. Simply saying" unforseen acts of nature are not covered" is not going to relieve them of liability.
Bisha Moten 1 year ago
"Act of God" is an insurance term. It means an accident or other natural event caused without human intervention that could not have been prevented by reasonable foresight or care. For example, insurance companies often consider storms to be an Act of God. Fire damage can be classified as this, if the fire results from a lightning strike. In this case, since the ice built up on a building, likely along the roof, and there's no real way for a company to go out and remove it, then should it break from the roof, fall, and hit something, the employer and their insurance can't be held responsible for the damage.

exactly. a TRADITION is born. Tada! You guys will never have to buy for each other again. This thing will just keep ping-ponging back and forth until it is old and crusty (except where the band is).

For twenty-five years, two brothers-in-law traded the same pants back and forth between them as a Christmas gift, each time finding more inventive ways to wrap them. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/panting-in-anticipation/

Reminds me of the regifting necklace I got. I got it from my ex after we had broken up, so I regifted it to a friend, she then regifted it to her aunt. Where it's at now...nobody knows

Rude. She could've at least tagged the item with whomever gifted it, to avoid things like this

Behold... My Cat's Contribution To My Brand New Epoxy Countertop
Sara Frazer 1 year ago
Your poor cat, wash their feet! Should've shut the cat somewhere safe, smh.....
Roan The Demon Kitty 1 year ago
exactly, if I'm getting work done in my house, I always shut my cats in another room (usually the back room so they can get into the catio too) and don't let them out until the work is done. Granted, there's been times they've slipped past when I've brought them their food, so it's possible the OP's cat just escaped and jumped up here, but still, my cats are soon shepherded back in without causing trouble. The only time I can think that a cat has caused any trouble was when one cat somehow got into the turpentine (emergency vet and wash, but she's fine now) and when another walked into paint and got little pawprints of paint all over the new kitchen linoleum, but that was many years ago and I'm much wiser to my cats tricks. xP

Dined Out With My Girlfriend And The Napkins Came With An Ad For Mental Health. She Thought Couples Therapy Might Be A Good Idea, But I Disagreed. Result? An Argument And A Breakup

Sounds like you might of needed that couples therapy after all...

Sounds like a productive discussion that needed to happen. Well done, napkins.

If you need couples therapy when dating you probably just need to be with a different partner.
GettingCereal 1 year ago
Why? Ideally, couple's therapy should help you communicate better, or resolve certain issues. Whether six months in or 20 years, if you care about someone and the relationship, why not try couple's therapy instead of breaking up? Relationships at any stage are not easy.

My Girlfriend Notified Me Today That I Have Been Drinking Mold For 6 Months
Sara Frazer 1 year ago
.....do you not regularly wash your water bottle..?? Even if it's "just water" bacteria is still a thing, people!! 💀
Clown fish 1 year ago
Water won't kill mold. What you need to do is get a bottle scrub that fits the bottle or put rice and washing liquid in there with a little water and shake

There's a tablet I buy from Amazon specifically for cleaning out those steel water bottles. You soak it with hot water for 15 minutes and it looks new again. Everyone knows they get really gross inside. Well, everyone but this person I guess...
Javelina Poppers 1 year ago
That's what I use, fill with water and toss in a couple of tablets and let soak overnight. Works great!

More like hard water build up not mold. You won't die..... At least not from this.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
He says he did wash it ("just not well enough") and he did notice the buildup, but he "didn't think it was mold". He also regularly used Nuun and Liquid IV electrolyte supplements, which probably contributed to the growth :/

Felt Something Hit My Foot Driving To Work

Still better than keyless ignition. Fob battery goes dead? You're screwed. Fob un-syncs? You're screwed. Fob goes bad for whatever reason? You're screwed. There is no physical ignition switch for a key. Get within so many feet of the fob with the right equipment and the code can be copied and duplicated - goodbye car. Whoever thought up keyless ignition deserves to be forever beaten alongside the person who invented side post batteries.

Hyundai or Kia? I ask because I've owned both and this looks like the build quality I'd expect.

Opened My Christmas Filets To Cook Dinner. Completely Gray And Rancid. Christmas Eve Dinner For 6 Then Had To Be Frozen Stuffed Shells. $190 Of Filets Ended Up In The Trash
Nadine Debard 1 year ago
Happened to me once, but the meat was sold in an oxygen-free package and when I opened it, it appeared yellow-green with a very rancid smell. The package said to oxygen the meat for at least 20 min. I didn't believe it, but it went perfect afterwards, normal color, no smell.
WindySwede 1 year ago
OP said they bought them 3 days before, at a butcher who wrapped them. And another user said "How long before dinner did you buy them op? Meat cutter here. Those don't hardly last 4 days on my shelf, let along stacked with each other wrapped in butcher paper." I just wonder what the temp in the fridge was, 3°C here now, which keeps things fresh good. But Though never bought this kind of expansive meat! 😅

untreated meat does not stay red naturally, just a reminder. Meat reacts with oxygen. The color does not necessarily say anything about the condition of the product, other than that it is not freshly cut. The smell is important though. But I think only few city people (since many years I am one too, no offence) know the true colour and smell of meat.

Spilled Coffee + Crocs + Socks
Happy Onion 1 year ago
I see people at work wearing Crocs and it makes me cringe. I work in a vet clinic. They are things you don't want on your feet people!
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
And why not? I too loathed Crocs on principle, until I had a sick puppy (distemper). It's so nice to have a pair of Crocs at the back door - you can just slip your feet right into them at hyperspeed if you need to carry a poopy/puking puppy out to the backyard. No need to struggle with regular shoes, and they clean off SO easily - just spritz with bleach/a cleanser and spray em with the Jet or Full setting on the hose nozzle. They're made of resin (well, a proprietary resin) and they dry super fast, they don't stain, and you can blast them with water without fear. I do NOT recommend them for everyday/sustained wear (as they have no support/etc.; my everyday go-to shoes are Brooks Ghosts), but just to run out to the backyard and protect my feet from poop, vomit, pee, or whatever else my puppy decided to expel? You bet I'll wear Crocs for that brief period. I don't understand why people hate them if all you're doing is wearing them for brief periods, not to be Fashionable™ or Cool™.
