There are some people who just seem to have the best luck all of the time, we all know at least one individual like this. However, by the same token, there are some people who constantly seem to be on Lady Luck’s bad side!
In this vein, please enjoy these 30 strange moments that made us wonder whether life was really on our side at all.

“When someone thoughtfully labels your gas tank for you.”
I think that they should be able to buff this out pretty easily. Although, that isn’t really the point I suppose. Why would anyone want to do this to another individual’s car?
“Goalkeeper stopping the ball with her face — she was fine after a short break.”
Look, she stopped the ball so that is all that matters, right? I mean, it would have been better if she had used her hands but it is a little too late for that now.
“I just wanted an ice bun from the vending machine at work.”
There are few things that can spice up your ice bun like extra cockroach on it! The cockroach is probably healthier to eat than the ice bun in fairness.
“I dropped a pickle jar lid directly in the drain & can’t get it out.”
Sure, you could try using something thin to try and pry it out, but I think that the best option is to just move house. Let someone else deal with this.
“$5,000 is still out of reach for many families.”
Christ, I love the film “It’s A Wonderful Life,” it is one of the only Christmas movies that I watch every year. Although, this person isn’t wrong and that is a pretty bleak assessment.
Some Nice Presents Off The Neighbor…
The disgusting backstory to this image was:
“Neighbors have been pouring bleach, dog pee, and dirty mop water on my balcony. Today’s treat was dog puke. Building won’t do anything about it and idk who exactly it is because there are 3 floors above me.”
“Tree as a) Roundabout b) Divider c) Barrier d) All of the above.”
I am sure that the tree was there before this road was though, so why should they not build around it? They should probably have moved the road completely out of its way though.
“When your Christmas Tree just can’t make it until Christmas.”
Wow, I don’t think that I have ever seen a Christmas Tree give up on life quite so quickly as this one. Although, maybe it was just getting a little hot and wanted to take some layers off.
“I was just trying to do some gift shopping on FB Marketplace.”
I like how they started their message with “Merry Christmas” as though they were going to be sending a nice positive message! What a complete nutcase! Buying stuff of FB Marketplace can be a really wild experience.
“I would simply just leave.”
If you chuck a sandwich in there then I think this would be a pretty standard lunch. However, without the sandwich it does all look a little bit sad. They also got a free cardboard box out of the deal!
“This cheesecake that I ordered arrived 2 days late and was then unsafe to eat.”
My God, it still looks pretty damn delicious though. I am sure that they still had a few moments of wondering whether they were going to eat it anyway.
“When your local fire station burns to the ground.”
“Those firefighters are going to get made fun of by every other station in the area for the rest of their careers,” pointed out one very positive person. They do look quite despondent though.
“My mom washed my favorite sweater… Is this THE LEWK?!”
My God, this guy looks so much like Chris Pratt in this picture it is quite eerie. At least he is rocking that shrunken jumper aesthetic, it’s a hard one to nail.
“Locked my door and ran outside my apt in a hurry, keys got caught inside.”
“Honestly, Boss, the keys just swung back through the door and got stuck so I…”
“Dave, this is the fourth time this week, please for the love of God get a new lie!”
“This week started with a break up, then I had to get my car towed, now I spilled spaghetti *in* my shoe.”
That is one hell of a run of bad luck! I hope that this is all they had to content with in that week!
“Walked out of the store and there was this blue haired woman. I see her plastered near my car, taking a piss. Fun day!”
Well, that is a fantastic way to cap off a day. Time to stop off at a car wash as well I think.
“I work at a movie theatre and this is a regular occurrence…”
One person who spent a long time working in a cinema wrote, “When you’re absolutely slammed with cleanings, so you dump pop all over the popcorn in the bags to shrink it and buy more space – and it also absorbs it all so you don’t get coated in coke.”
The Cruelest Taunt…
“My door dash delivery was left up against the only door to my apartment so the door could barely be opened, then the dasher took the delivery verification photo…of me struggling to get the food because I couldn’t open the door,” explained the person who posted this.
“My car doesn’t start when it’s below -30F, its been that cold for days, and I don’t have running water. I’m finally getting desperate enough to melt snow for a bath.”
They might need to get a few more buckets full of snow to get a full bathtub on the go!
“This happened at a law firm FYI. At least it is Friday…”
Christ, I cannot imagine what it would be like trying to accuse someone of eating your lasagne at a law firm. Everyone would be so immediately defensive and uncooperative.
“This tattoo artist gave my spider 9 legs.”
Perhaps that is this spider’s antenna? How else is a spider supposed to be able to pick up radio stations if it doesn’t have an antenna? Honestly, just think about things, okay?!
“Couldn’t even get top billing on my own birthday cake.”
I can imagine that this will speak to a lot of people who have their birthdays on Christmas Day. Getting second billing to Christmas Day is one thing, but for Jesus to pip you to pole position on the cake is a step too far.
“When it’s your stop and the doors open to this.”
“Reminds me of a prior house, where I purchased a 4×4 truck because of a snow storm made driving my van dangerous. Next storm, the snow was so high I couldn’t back the truck out of the garage,” wrote one unfortunate individual.
“I don’t know who it belongs to. But I already know their pain.”
I don’t think that this was an accident. Rather, I think that someone decided to take one piece of the puzzle out of a jigsaw before giving it to a relative they really hate for Christmas.
“My MIL needed Frosted Flakes for her potato casserole…”
I know that we are meant to be focussing on the fact that it is a puzzle, but I can’t stop wondering why anyone would want to put frosted flakes into a casserole?
“This person’s apartment was so cold that their toilet’s water tank froze and broke.”
A few people, considering that this was “the clean bit,” suggested that this person just chip bits off and use them as ice-cubes in their drinks! Not a chance in hell would I be doing that.
“Bought these binoculars specifically to go to the Grand Canyon today.”
Well, you got to the Grand Canyon and you had your binoculars with you, so what is the problem? Sure, not being able to see much might be a bit of a bummer, but things could be worse!
“Cut all of the ‘ties’ on my daughters new toy. That grey tie was the wire for the remote.”
Fortunately, one individual suggested that this might be just for the “try me” button on the front of the box, which turned out to be the case indeed.
“Guy dropped a $40,000 pallet of glass on his first day.”
The majority of people actually found this to be an issue caused by poor management and/or training. That is one hell of a way to make yourself known in the office either way.
“This Uber driver contemplating his existence after a passenger threw up all over himself and in the car.”
You cannot help but feel sorry for this poor guy…the driver that is, not the guy who has just spewed up all over himself.
