I’ll go ahead and admit that, as much as we may try, it can be very hard to have confidence in the world. It just seems like everything’s out to get us: nature , technology, random strangers, and even people we care about.
But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. Even if it kind of is in these sad, sad pictures.
“Getting ready to drive to work only to find out someone smashed my car window.”
I don’t get why anyone would do this. Like obviously it was either a thief or a prankster, but either way it seems like a lot of effort just to end up damaging someone’s car.
“Tried to charge my phone on a different outlet.”
This worries me because I feel like it could happen anywhere. Charging cables and the adapters they plug into feel like they’re made to break so that we keep having to buy new ones…
“The wind we’ve been having in Nebraska…”
I feel bad for the poor sucker who probably thought their recycling bin got stolen. Like, nope. The wind just took it downhill. I’m not gonna lie, I’d rather someone had just stolen it if it were me.
“Lesson learned: Don’t slam doors behind you if they have full-length mirrors mounted to them.”
According to superstitions, OP now has seven years of bad luck to deal with. And with the world the way it is already, that’s gonna be rough.
“A wasp building its nest right on the edge of the fuel tank of my car… that I only noticed after I started pumping.”
Leave it to the wasps to show up where you least expect it and decide to build a nest.
“The whole roll of poop bags was like this…”
I don’t know what would be worse, accidentally touching your dog’s poop with your bare hands, or somehow not noticing the hole until after you pick the poop up and tie the bag, only for it to fall out of the hole later…
“Heard the loudest thunder of my life. This plug exploded, broke several appliances, firefighters had to bust the wall to make sure it hadn’t lit a fire…”
Apparently this happened years ago, so don’t worry, OP’s fine. But man, do we have to worry about power outlets exploding randomly now?
“Ordered an expensive dinner set.”
Sometimes you end up dealing with a pretty crappy delivery person. Sometimes it’s the person who packed the box who messed up. And sometimes it’s pure bad luck where no one would’ve noticed until the box was opened. In any case, though, yikes.
“Thanks, USPS.”
Don’t you just love it when people can’t follow simple instructions? And by love it, I obviously mean it makes you want to tear all of your hair out. Like, what in “do not fold” do people not understand?
“The amount of pickle on my no pickle burger lmao.”
I bet you anything instead of hearing “no pickles,” the person who put this burger together heard “mo’ pickles,” and just dumped a whole bunch of them on there.
“Was driving behind a truck carrying unsecured wooden boards on the freeway, one flew up and hit three cars, mine included.”
“The truck did an illegal U-turn and drove away before any of us could get a license plate.”
At least no one got hurt. But wow, I really hate people sometimes.
“Can’t go to work today because my whole street flooded…this is what I get for moving to Australia.”
Australia seems to always be dealing with either forest fires or floods. It’s almost like mother nature is trying to send us a message…
“Car keys broke.”
This feels like divine intervention telling you not to leave your house for the next little while. Maybe it’ll stop OP from running into someone with badly strapped boards in the back of their truck, or from driving right into a sinkhole.

“Gave the UberEATS driver $5 tip for scrambling our pizzas.”
I swear, it seems like everyone’s been getting badly delivered pizzas lately. Like, how hard is it to drive around with a pizza and not cause it to get so scrambled?
“When a coworker does not look behind and it leads to a domino falling of multiple product bins. Thankfully nobody was hurt or behind those aisles when this happened.”
At least these were just bins, and nothing super heavy that could do more serious damage.
“Got an unrepairable crack in a 1-week new windshield.”
This is the kind of thing that makes you shake your head and say, “of all the rotten luck…” Here’s hoping OP has a good warranty plan on this car.
“Amazon literally sent me an empty bag and the delivery picture shows it was open. (Say hi to my invisible graphics card).”
On the plus side, this might make it easier to get a refund and/or replacement. But the fact that the driver really just delivered an empty package no questions asked has me shaking my head.
“My dad sent me this, flying to Saudi from Manchester air port.”
This is just… terrifying. Like, as if flying isn’t freaky enough without a plane wing covered in duct tape. I’d have been tempted to just get off the plane.
“He fell in his own hole.”
I’m gonna go ahead and assume the guy who operated this thing is okay, since the cab is on the side that isn’t buried in the hole. I’m also gonna assume this guy is being teased mercilessly by the rest of the crew.
“Bought our first home 3 years ago and now we’re dealing with this.”
According to OP, a tree fell into their house, but everyone ended up being okay (even their cats). Still, this must be a nightmare to deal with.
