By now, we've all got enough of a handle on life that we know things won't always go our way. Unfortunately, some of have had a lot more experience with this fact of life than others, but everyone feels frustrated and disappointed sometimes.
But while there are ways we can expect to be disappointed in life, some problems that darken our doorsteps blindside us so hard that we wouldn't have even imagined them as a worst-case scenario.
In some cases, it's not even that the results are worse than we expected, but rather that they came so far out of left field that we don't know what category of bad they fit under.
But while these events may not have made their subjects' days better, they certainly made ours a lot more interesting.
