I think the only thing worse than having a bad day is knowing that you’re about to have a bad day. Then you end up being filled with dread before all the bad stuff even happens.
Maybe the people in this list were in the middle of their bad days, or maybe they’ve just begun. But one thing’s for sure, it’s probably not going to get any better from here.
“My glass coffee table just exploded.”

Glass can handle a lot of pressure, but there does come a point where it’ll just break for seemingly no reason. And when they do, it’s a bad time for everyone.
“Found this on the street. Someone is going to be disappointed.”

I’m just trying to figure out how this puzzle piece got on the street. Did someone… have a puzzle in their pocket? Did two people get into a fight, and one of them threw a single puzzle piece outside? Either way, it sucks.
“My tire fell off with no warning while driving home last night.”

No matter how good or bad your day is, losing a tire randomly in the middle of the road is going to make it worse. Now you have to wait for roadside assistance before you can go home and cry.
“It’s too early for this.”

Ah yes, what a great way to start off your day. Open your brand new deodorant, only to find it got stuck to the protective piece on the top. It’s not like you wanted to smell good, anyway.
“Cooking breakfast in my kitchen, when out of nowhere, a car drives into my living room.”

Here’s hoping OP has some good insurance. In any case, this is probably the last thing anyone would expect while cooking breakfast. Talk about a sign that this isn’t going to be a good day…
“My Pop Tart was almost half crust.”

This is super unfortunate. Really, any case where you’re looking forward to some food, only for it to be defective or incomplete in some way is just sad. My disappointment is immeasurable.
“Reheating last night’s leftovers, a nice meal that took a while to make. 2/3 of it fell on the floor.”

On the plus side, if your floors are clean enough, you could probably still eat that. But let’s face it, no one’s floors are actually clean enough to eat off.
“A pipe in my water heater broke. Flooded the bottom of the trailer. Can’t get it fixed until tomorrow so no bathroom for me.”

No bathroom and dealing with a flood all night. The day isn’t even close to starting, and yet it’s already terrible. Here’s hoping everything can get fixed quickly…
“The coffee I ordered didn’t have any packaging between the glass jars.”

I get that packaging is wasteful and all, but sometimes you need to use it. Like, if you’re going to be shipping glass jars, for example. Delivery workers can and will throw all packages around, no matter what’s in them.
“Made the mistake of going to McDonald’s for lunch. I did NOT order the McTartare. Hope I don’t die.”

Well, you typically don’t die of food poisoning, but it still ain’t pleasant. This is when you have no choice but to go back to the McDonald’s and complain, because this is legit unacceptable.
“This will not be coming out of my pay check if I have anything to say about it. Box was open side down on the top of the pallet.”

I’m… pretty sure employers don’t take stuff like this out of employee paychecks. But still, having to clean all that up is going to be such a pain.
“A marker dropped in my toaster. I didn’t know it. I tried to get it out, but…”

Don’t worry, OP unplugged the toaster first. As it is, though, it looks like they’re going to have to buy a whole new one. Maybe a toaster oven will be a better choice.
“Just having a wee snack at your local supermarket!”

I feel bad for the person who has to try and get that pigeon out of the store. I feel even worse for the person who has to clean out that bin.
But the unsuspecting person who gets there and buys some of those nuts after the bird flies away? They have it the worst.
“So cold in my garage fridge that my milk turned slushy.”

I guess this is why you should put your milk in the fridge, instead of in a garage. But hey, to each their own.
I’m sure that milk will melt eventually. At least it won’t make the cereal soggy.
“At least it was iced coffee and not scalding hot.”

Yeah, but now you have to spend an entire workday telling people that you did not, in fact, pee your pants. The amount of times this guy is going to have to say “I just spilled iced coffee” is going to be a job in itself.
“Train has been going for a good 3 minutes now.”

It’s bad enough having to wait forever for a train to pass. But there’s an ambulance there, that may be trying to respond to an emergency. Here’s hoping the person who needed that ambulance could hold on for a few extra minutes…
“Tuning peg on my bass broke… twice.”

How tragic. Not being able to play your bass is sad enough, but the fact that it’s kind of expensive to pay for it to get fixed makes it even worse, to be honest.
“Sitting in the parking lot on a cold morning and hear an audible ‘thud.’ My defroster cracked my windshield.”

I think that trying to heat a cold thing too quickly will cause glass to break. But that doesn’t mean defroster should do the same thing. Right?
“What was the reason in doing that.”

I feel like someone out there either tried to buy a single piece of bread for whatever reason, or this is some kind of strange new TikTok trend. Either way, I feel bad for whoever has to clean it all up.
“Today I decided to treat myself to a slice of cheesecake.”

It’s all fun and games until you find mold on your cheesecake. On the plus side, it looks like it’s just the one spot, so OP probably didn’t eat any mold. But still.
