If there’s one guarantee in life, it’s that life will continue to happen . Occasionally, this might be a good thing . But more often than not, ‘life happening’ is basically synonymous with mishaps, accidents, and general misery .
Everyone knows this. But despite being forewarned, it still comes as a shock to the system when things go wrong. Looking at these pics might not fix your life, but they should make you feel a little bit better about it.

“Entire closet rack fell out of the wall at 5:30 in the morning.”
This pic gives me serious anxiety as this closet rack appears to be the exact same design as my closet rack. I’m going to do a quick stability check, so I’ll be right back.
“Used ramps to change oil for the first time… while backing up, the ramps slid/shot out and hit the 5qt used oil container and painted my garage a new color.”
OP gives a thorough account of what happened and it’s still difficult to comprehend a failure of this spectacular magnitude.
“Could somebody please tell me how I am supposed to open this?”
When you get a box like this, the answer is simple: use your teeth or your fingernails or whatever. Basically, you’re going to have to open it like a cave person.
“Walked for 15km, looked at my fitness bracelet, guess I’ll stay fat…”
Fitness trackers can be a great motivator, as they help us stay on top of our exercise. They can also be a great de-motivator as well, particularly when they fail to give us our due credit.
“Late to work due to an unscheduled parade.”
This is a frustrating start to anyone’s day, and it seems to happen all the time with Canada geese, ducks, and any kind of slow-moving waterfowl. Sometimes, the event is even newsworthy .
“New hobby= new broken bones. 30 seconds after putting on roller blades resulted in 2 broken wrists!”
For anyone who’s just getting into inline skating, I’d recommend a pair of wrist guards , even if they do look dorky. I guess it’s too late to give her this advice, though.
“Oops…”
My favorite part of this pic is that the trailer that would have been hauling this is nowhere in sight. It really gives the impression that the driver decided to cut their losses and just leave this Sea-Doo to whoever wants it.
“Baby birb what is you doing.”
Birds are intelligent, curious creatures. It would be nice if they’d channel this energy into some kind of book learning, but usually it just means that they’ll slowly, methodically, relentlessly pick apart stuff throughout the house.
“Yes, stays fresh longer.”
This pic is most definitely disgusting. It also makes me feel fortunate that items like this come in clear bags. Like, if there are going to be dead mice in my food products, I’d like to notice this before I buy them.
“My gf is from a small town that doesn’t get a lot of nice things. A couple of hours after the town welcomed this mural, this happened.”
Some small towns are meant to have murals and others simply aren’t. Apparently this town is part of the latter category.
“A wasp flew into my helmet while I was riding my motorcycle and gave me a piece of its mind.”
This is a horrifying scenario to contemplate. If you’re driving at speed, you can’t just take your helmet off and release the wasp. You’re pretty much doomed to letting the wasp do its thing — which usually means stinging you.
“I think my plate was telling me that I’m 35 and don’t need Totinos pizza.”
One is never too old to eat Totinos pizza. In fact, if this plate is sending a message, it’s that it simply isn’t capable of doing Totinos pizza justice.
“My two-year-old GE oven exploded an hour after I turned it off.”
The glass on oven doors needs to be tough and also needs to be able to withstand incredible heat. Some oven doors hold up to this better than others.
“The stairs on my daily commute pedestrian bridge were removed without warning….”
The caption and the angle the photo was taken from almost imply that the stairs were removed without warning while the photographer was trying to cross the bridge . I hope that wasn’t the case.
“Our washer decided to become a smoke machine.”
Washing machines can be temperamental beasts, but usually they limit their malfunctions to stuff involving water. I guess they’ll occasionally get smoky as well. At least these folks noticed the problem before their house burned down.
“I just wanted a snack.”
The hourglass pattern on a black widow spider is one of the most recognizable danger signs in the animal kingdom. What does it mean in this case? Well, for starters, no one’s going to be enjoying delicious green grapes anytime soon.
“Newark, NJ. Our plane hit the parked one next to us.”
Just about everyone has experienced some kind of flight delay, causing their plane to sit on the tarmac indefinitely. Something tells me that this delay might be a little longer than usual.
“House of Blues handicap seating.”
A lot of venues have retrofitted accessible seating into places where it was never really intended. You’d think they could do a little bit better than plunking anyone in a wheelchair behind this pillar, though.
“First overseas flight in 9 years! Paid extra for a window seat so I can see everything.”
Sitting in one of these seats is a disconcerting experience. You know you’re moving somewhere, you know you’re experiencing turbulence, but you can’t see a darn thing.
“My little brother was trying to move today. Geez.”
Moving day is a stressful time for anyone. Most of the time, a move doesn’t involve structural damage to both the house and the moving truck, but the universe mocks us in endless ways. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that this mishap might get the new homeowners started on some renovations.
