Whenever you think you’ve got life by the short hairs, it finds a way to remind you who’s the boss. Alternatively, when you’re down on your luck, life still finds a way to kick you while your down. Enjoy this gallery of poor souls who got metaphorically kicked where the sun doesn’t shine.
1. I mean, it’s still a functional cake, just a lot less pretty. And as they say, you can’t have your cake and eat the garnish too.

2. I really hope that isn’t their last roll, or they’re going to have to make some very difficult decisions in the near future.
I dunno about you, but I could not bear the sensation of wiping with cold, wet toilet paper.
3. I mean, technically the plural of shrimp is “shrimp” so the package isn’t lying. Still, kind of a jerk move.
That poor lonely shrimp has been waiting for this moment when its solitary existence can finally be put to an end.

Whenever you think you’re having a rough time, remember this raccoon.
7. No one should ever be betrayed by their food like this. This would probably be enough to make me swear off eating Pop-Tarts forever.
Ah, who am I kidding? I couldn’t give ’em up.
8. Just when you think you’re doing some good, life shows you that you’re doing the opposite.
What’s even the point of making it seem like it’s being sorted? I mean, most people just throw everything in the garbage, but still!
9. That awkward moment when the milk you’re pouring for your cereal comes out chunky. You’re better off burning the whole thing.
I can almost smell this picture, and it’s not a good one.
10. It’s probably not the prize they wanted, but not for nothing they still managed to come out…ahead.
