We can all have bad days from time to time, but sometimes those bad days can ultimately lead to good stories…in a “If you don’t laugh you’ll cry” sort of way.
So, from people who had incredibly unfortunate wedding days to individuals whose children nearly got them arrested, here are 30 bad days that people got good stories out of.
RELATED STORIES
“Broke my ankle, wrist, and tore my ACL & a tendon in my thumb on my wedding day.”
“Tailor lied about hemming my dress and I didn’t realize until I put it on that day. Two months later and I’m just starting to walk on my own again & I have no use of my left thumb,” this poor woman explained.
She added, “Spent what should’ve been my honeymoon stranded on a couch at my mom’s. Unable to fly home yet because I couldn’t bend my knee enough to fit on a plane.”
It’s Not What You Think…
“These are the crystals my 6-year-old daughter made and insisted I keep in my coat pocket. I was reminded they were in my coat during my visit to the city county building to take care of some business permitting after emptying my pockets into the tray,” this unfortunate father explained.
They went on to say, “I politely offered to call my wife so she could back me up, but I was responded with ‘sir please stay where you are’. Looking good 2021.”
“A plane crashed into my friend backyard (no injuries!).”
“Hey, I’m going to be late into work today, a plane landed in my backyard.”
“This is the fourth time this week Dave!”
“Using a fake hawk on your roof to scare the seagulls but instead they become bffs.”
Wow, I can absolutely hear this photo through the screen. How incredibly unlucky!
The Toilet Dropper Conundrum…
“We found my wife’s phone in the toilet yesterday. We weren’t sure which of our three kids put it there…until my wife scrolled through her pictures today,” this parent explained.
Not Quite What They Had In Mind…
This local author wrote, “A while back I published a kids book. Managed to talk the local book store into their first EVER book signing. Several other authors followed after I opened that door. Last week I stopped in to convince them they needed a whole ‘local author’ section. They did it, and everybody made the shelf but me.”
“Burst water pipe…”
This is just like God slapping you in the face. Better get the kettle boiling, you’re gonna be there for a while!
“Finally after a year I was able to buy a retail PS5. My dog was super excited too…”
Unless you seriously do not care about electronics, you probably already know how hard it is to find a PlayStation in stores right now. Going through all of that work to get one, just for your dog to destroy it right away is simply tragic.
“Came home from vacation to find my cactus had given up on life.”
One would think that a cactus of all things could withstand its owner’s vacation. I’m sure this isn’t reflective of the owner’s ability to take care of plants, though.
“Geese relocation service hired by my complex used my patio to trap the geese. The unit next to me is vacant…but screw me, right?”
My God that is a lot of geese! I can only imagine that the sound of honking was outrageous.
“Friend lost his wallet earlier this week – found it today magnetized to his car.”
This person may have been having a bad week, but at least he got to have a happy ending. Of all the places to lose a wallet, this is surely one of the more random ones. Hopefully he can un-cancel all his credit cards.
“Car got downed on land in Mumbai.”
“So, what happened to your car?”
“It got devoured by the Earth.”
“No, seriously, what happened to your car?”
“It…got devoured by the Earth.”
“Get a drone, they said.”
This is one hazard I never would have thought of when using a drone. But like using any other machine that might start whirring around your head, maybe investing in a hair tie would be wise.
“Knocked my house plant and the water and wet soil went everywhere. The image below is me in the process of cleaning it, and a stain will be left.”
As it turns out, people seem to be having bad luck with their houseplants lately. I don’t think a carpet cleaner would be able to fix this horrible stain.
“Oh. Ok I’ll come back later. Sorry for the interruption.”
Nothing like adding a wasps nest into whatever job you’re doing to automatically make that job 100% harder.
“Never stick your head in a hole on a tree to ‘just see what’s in it.'”
It is unbelievably lucky that none of those ended up in his eyes! That would have been a decidedly more morbid story after the fact if so.
“Sunday morning chores (unloading the dishwasher) while watching/listening YouTube. No the phone didn’t distract me. I’m a naturally talented klutz.”
At least this person can admit their faults. Plus, it happened on a Sunday, so hopefully they rolled back into bed after cleaning this up.
“This was taken five minutes after we got home from the groomer with the intention of taking photos for holiday cards.”
“He was there for FOUR HOURS and it cost almost 80 bucks for a full groom. I’m taking it out of his pawllowance.”
At least the little guy looks guilty. He knows what he’s done.
“Friend slipped on the stairs at the Airbnb we were staying at.”
Fortunately, these people did end up being able to fix it. They wrote, “We picked up the supplies from Home Depot and repaired the damage before checking out.
“Someone bit into this fake pear. I’m assuming that it’s a kid from the bite size.”
The fact that someone would bite into a pear in a public place (a showroom or furniture store, I’m guessing) is already a bit troubling. But I can only imagine their surprise when they realized the pear wasn’t real.
“My mom is a beekeeper, and she accidentally spilt 10kgs of honey to the floor.”
That is going to be the stickiest mess imaginable. You’ll have your socks sticking to the floor for weeks!
“Tanned a bit too much while wearing shoes. Kids call them my chimp feet.”
That is going to be one hell of a hard tan line to balance out! Time to get sunbathing in jeans and no socks!
“I just found out this isn’t me… My parents never took out the stock photo and it’s been there for over ten years.”
Maybe they just love this stock-photo child more! What a crushing revelation that would be.
“Came out of the shower ready to watch TV.”
As you can probably guess, this person’s dog decided to use the remote as a chew toy. This isn’t quite as bad as losing your whole PlayStation, but it’s still pretty bad. I’m sure the dog will be grounded for a long time.
“Throwback to that time I posted my laundry L and my mother thought it was a baby announcement.”
This is a bad day double whammy. A completely shrunken shirt and a family congratulating you on a pregnancy that doesn’t exist? What could be worse than that?
What Did Those Guys Do?
I don’t know what they did to have to get kicked out of a place called “Shenaniganz” but I really want to find out!
“Ratatouille 2 filming in Austin.”
I can just imagine that mouse getting home after that traumatic event and saying, “By Cheesus Christ, you will not believe the day that I’ve had!”
“My son teased his sister and she threw a Switch controller at my parent’s 75″ TV.”
One astute person pointed out, “I like how he’s still your son but she’s ‘his sister’ rather than your daughter after this ordeal. I understand.”
“Waited five years for this cactus to bloom. Leaving for a five-day trip, I noticed this.”
Much like the fact that a watched pot never boils, a watched cactus never blossoms!
“My dog (Piglet) fell in a septic tank this morning. He’s completely fine but uhh he smells like crap.”
“My plumber was working on things so the tank cover was open. I hadn’t closed the dog door last night and the plumber arrived before I woke up so when I got up, Piglet ran out to go bark at the plumber. I followed him to call him in and then he didn’t see the open hole in the deck and fell right in,” Piglet’s owner wrote.
Ultimately, they got him out with the help of the fire department and some climbing equipment.
