It can seem like the world is out to destroy our sanity at times, can’t it? But, from moments of menial misfortune to moments that make you wonder what the point of it all is, it’s important to remember not to let the world grind you down!
And, in this spirit, please enjoy these 13+ times we went, “Can this get any worse?”
RELATED STORIES
“Long kayaking trip + belly rolls = most inconsistent sunburn ever.”
It kind of looks like a goofy smiling face from some angles. This person went on to write, “I can’t help but laugh. But then the laughing hurts, so then I just cry internally instead.”
“Somebody didn’t strap the egg trolleys in properly on the truck. 10,500 eggs broken.”
I can just imagine a load of chickens looking at this scene and weeping with despair. All of their hard work gone to waste!
“This refund my coworker had to process today.”
You think that it can’t get any worse reading all of those “Fancy Feast” items, and then you get to “World’s best cat” and it just hits you right in the gut.
“Worst fortune cookie ever.”
Short, sweet, and to the point. I like this cookie’s style, even if it is horrifically pessimistic!
“My buddy got this after working at his job for 42 years. The sticker isn’t even on straight…”
The place where this person works clearly really values its employees! Apparently, this person has had other pins of better quality…so that’s something, I guess?
“The lady at the courthouse neglected to tell me I was looking at the wrong camera.”
And to think, they’re going to be stuck with this picture on there for years and years before they get a new one, realistically.
When You Want To Be Literally Anywhere Else…
That is a face that just screams to be allowed to take off the sheep outfit. I know his pain well, I’ve been in this situation many times before.
“Road between Kununurra and Broome is closed due to flooding, below is the closest detour on paved roads.”
Well, better get going then! I cannot even fathom driving that long of a journey intentionally, never mind as the result of a flood!
“Easily the worst decision I’ve made in a long time.”
They went on to say that this is funny as a gag gift, but not for daily use…which seems obvious to me! Although, I am desperate to try it.
“Worst gift wrapping ever.”
Only if it was then wrapped in that thin plastic film they wrap DVDs in… I hate that stuff and struggle with it every time somehow.
“That moment when you realise you’ve messed up.”
It’s great how the arm leaning on the bed next to this little fella is doing nothing to help and just letting him deal with the repercussions of his actions! That is proper dad behavior right here.
“Happened to a friend, she was almost finished.”
This fella’s facial expression kind of conveys the feelings that I imagine the person who dropped him felt!
“That awkward moment when you realize your recycling bin inadvertently makes you look like the loneliest man in the world…”
Look, things aren’t looking good for the person who owns this bin, that’s for sure. Although, Guinness is a fantastic drink and they probably have very soft hands… So, silver linings and all that.
“Having a shark swim down your street just after the worst ever recorded bushfire season.”
Floods and sharks on your front lawn? I can only see it getting worse if a tornado hits and then you end up in a sharknado situation.
“This might be the best/worst tattoo I’ve ever seen.”
Nope, this is definitely on the “worst” end of the spectrum. This may have just ruined the N64 controller for me forever.
“My girlfriend is the worst kind of person…”
Someone suggested that they replace the cream with toothpaste then put them back, but I think that’s a little far, don’t you?
“Heard my cat screaming outside, found her stuck like this…”
Apparently, she had been stuck there for quite some time and was in desperate need of help. So, they took a photo of her embarrassing moment instead!
“My girlfriend was super excited about her new Koi Fish. After 1 hour, she now hates my frog…”
Look at the way that he is flaunting his actions in everyone’s face as well! This is why you should research what fish you are planning on putting into which tanks.
“Found this sign in Iowa. Even the deer hate living here.”
The suicidal deer sounds like a new-wave anti-folk band who have synth-pop influences. Very specific, I know, but not wrong.
“Hiking in the bush and found this! Random save points appear something terrible is about to happen, right?”
You know that as soon as you see this, you’re going to start hearing the boss battle music. Better start running!
“Someone in Australia was tying their shoe when a Fire Bombing plane had to drop their load due to turbulence.”
“I’ll just sit down here for a second to tie my shoe. It’s a lovely day and it’s not like anything bad is going to happen! Hmmm, that plane is looking awful low…”
“One of my motorcycles got stolen a couple years ago, I just found it in the forest after the fire came through…”
At least they got it back…sort of. I don’t think that it will really be worth very much though in this condition, but you never know!
“Zeppelin fan passes out drunk backstage, misses out on meeting John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl.”
Sure, he’s still got a cool as hell picture out of the situation. However, I’d much rather have met them when I was awake!
“Time to move, I guess.”
There is no vacuum cleaner on Earth that will be able to save you from the glittery fate that has befallen you here.
“Sucks big time.”
I physically cannot think of how someone would manage to break their arm this badly without just going to town on it with a sledgehammer.
“It was a hot day in Tallahassee.”
Good lord, this is making me feel hot just by looking at it. Apparently they were on their way to a college interview, so they had to dress semi-smart even though there was sweltering heat.
“The lovely moment where you shatter your iPhone and there’s two touching penis’s on the back.”
It’s bad enough when you smash your phone like this, but to then have it mock you with phallic imagery is something else!
“That moment you realize you grabbed the wrong spray…”
This kind of looks like some kind of abstract art piece. So, they could try and play it off as that I guess?
“This dude put his whole ass on my drink.”
This was really an act of love. Dogs spend all day smelling each other’s butts as a greeting, as a mark of who they are, so he just wants you to have a little bit of him with you.
“Grandma sent me this in the mail. Slowest picture message ever.”
“Hello. Grandson! I finally got the hang of that ‘selfie’ thing you taught me! Now, if only I could remember how to send one of those new-fangled text messages…”
“Just accidentally played the worst game. I call it Pear or Potato.”
At least you’re getting nutrients either way! Sure, one is a lot worse than the other but…produce!
“His face says more than words ever could.”
I’ve seen shirts like this before — picture of the girlfriend with a warning — but an all-over print? Those things are expensive. This girl means business. I’m a little scared.
“Brought my puppy to the beach. Took him about 2 minutes to eat enough sand to learn he isn’t supposed to eat sand.”
I was going to say that I’m surprised it took him that long seeing as sand isn’t tasty, but then I remembered that dogs will eat just about anything.
“Subway’s pretty passive aggressive.”
I gotta give props to whoever applied to Subway after being (presumably) fired. That’s a bold move and I can respect it.
“Anything is a pillow if you’re tired enough.”
The indent on the back of that man’s head is going to be killer by the time he wakes up. So is that inevitable neck cramp.
“Girlfriend asked for a bite of my ice cream. Pretty sure this is breakup material right here.”
I’m not “pretty sure,” I’m certain. This is Grade A sociopathic behavior that you need to have a long talk with her about.
“This puppy small enough to get through the fence bars. I guess a spoon is cheaper than change the whole fence.”
It’s cheaper and it makes him look like a little chef on his way to work!
“A pretty color with a brutally honest name.”
I’m into the idea of brutal names for colors. Let me get some “fresh sunburn red” and “this doesn’t exist in the natural world blue” please.
“Yeah, close enough.”
I don’t think that’s something I’d want to be cheering for at a non-specific high school sports game.
“Only had enough bread to make one sandwich today.”
I love bread as much as the next guy but there are still lines to be drawn. There are still limits.
“I’ve watched a lot of movies. I know I’m screwed.”
“Wait, why are you getting off the highway? This isn’t our exit.”
“If we don’t get off soon we’ll be exiting our lives . Trust me.”
“Haven’t those women been through enough?”
I’m sure the grief is already a metaphorical weight on their shoulders. I don’t think they need a literal one, too. Also, what weird company even has this as a service.
“I think more than one drink was needed after that text.”
Pfft, yeah, tell me about it. I’d be embarrassed, too, if everyone at the table saw that I had that bland and insipid a background photo.
“Mom made me a birthday cake last year. Didn’t have the room to dot the exclamation point.”
This is why we need a backspace button in real life. Or just a finger to swipe a little piece off. Don’t worry, Mom. Tis is funnier anyway.
“The exact moment her phone was lost forever.”
I like how this is captured in the split-second between having the best day ever and the worst day ever.
