Spread the love

In life, there are things we can control and things we can’t. But the humbling part is, it only takes one moment of the second to completely cancel out all the effort of the first. That’s just the unfair, unavoidable nature of bad luck.

Sadly, these poor souls had to learn that lesson the hard way. What they went through is so absurdly unfortunate that it’s hard not to feel for them—even if you can’t help but laugh a little too. Scroll down and give them some sympathy, because they’ve well and truly earned it.

#7 My Submission For Dumbest Way To Injure Yourself

I burnt my hand taking tomato soup out of the microwave. The toast I was making popped up and it scared me.

#8 Yesterday My Pen Exploded In My Dryer. Today, This When I Get Home After Another 13 Hour Work Day

#9 Came Home To A Car In My Pool

Ok a little more context: I am not the owner so I really don’t know the cost, but I will try to find that out.

Driver was a man in maybe his 30s-ish?

There are apartments across the alley. We think he was parked in front of the apartments, and then tried to peel out, but backed up way too hard and way too fast.

The pool is being drained. It’s full of glass and car chemicals so I assume it will need to be professionally cleaned.

The tow truck driver went on top of the car and had to break the side windows to hook up the cables through the sunroof and side windows. The pool is COLD. I made him some tea.

The driver was able to climb out the sunroof before it fully went under.

I really don’t know any specifics as to why/how this happened. Doesn’t sound like any drugs or alcohol were involved but really, only the cops know.

Car went in around 9:30pm, the whole process of towing it out went until about 3:30am.

Realized I’ve been walking around meeting clients with a giant 6-7 in rip in my pants that no one said anything about. So I figured the internet should also know.

#21 Slipped In The Shower, Landed On The Toilet

#22 I Came Out Of My Hotel To This

#23 My Basement Flooded With Shin Deep Water

I spent about 6 hours throwing everything away. My water heater exploded, and there was a simultaneous failure in the floor drain so none of the water drained. I didn’t find the flooding for about 30 minutes and came down to water streaming out of my water heater like a pressure washer. I’m just glad I was home.

I noticed that there was tea pooling around the bottom of my mug, and I picked it up and bam. The bottom of the mug just fell off, and tea went everywhere. I’ve never seen this happen before.

#31 On The Second Shovel Full My Trusty Shovel Called It Quits Today

We got about a foot and I only got enough to open the front door. Luckily my wife and I can work from home. There’s at least 20 inches plowed in front of our driveway as well. Good times.

#33 Can You Guess What Scared The Heck Out Of My Wife And I At 2 Am

This mirror was like 10 ft and came with the house when we bought it. I thought someone shattered our window in the bathroom and was breaking in or the shower glass shattered…

2 hours later I’m still cleaning glass off the floor lol.

#34 First Time Smoking

Just got a smoker, left it in a little too long. I also didn’t have the meat thermometer to that tells you what the temp is for the meat.

#44 Came Home From Vacation To Find Our Fish Tank Leaked Into My Floor While We Were Gone

nicolishna:
did the fish survive?

Metroid413:
Axolotl! And yes, luckily he’s chill. We lost about 40 of 55 gallons through a slower leak. EDIT: Hijacking this top-comment to add that this picture is AFTER I DRILLED DRAIN HOLES. It was not dripping like this the whole time.

Plus he crashed into my neighbor’s garage, taking out his fence and finally stopped when he crashed into my backyard fence. He didn’t have insurance either.

#51 Forced To Gate Check Guitar, Got It Back Split In Half

Long story short, I’m never flying with a soft shell guitar case anymore. Definitely at least partially my fault to not have had it better protected, but this hadn’t been an issue for the past 3 years until my latest delta flight…

Was told to gate check my $1000+ guitar in its soft shell case (i know, stupid, but much easier to carry it as a backpack than haul around a hard shell case when you have suitcases) by flight crew on my 6 hour flight across the US.

Even with strings almost fully loosened, and two thick sweatshirts wrapped around it, I guess the handling was too much for her.

Wife put chicken in freezer for dinner on a later day. Now, it’s frozen, and we can’t get it out of the door. We’ve tried a hair dryer, hand warmers, and hot water. We don’t necessarily want to break off the plastic piece, but I am running out of patience and ideas.

#66 Well, That’s What I Get For Trying To Tidy Up My Pantry

Was just trying to clean off some items from my countertop including a COSTCO size bottle of red wine. Accidentally hit it against a bottle of champagne, mind you I don’t even drink it’s just what I keep on hand for entertaining. And yes, the shelves are permanently stained. But at least they’re pink.

#67 I Didn’t Even Know This Could Happen

Today I learnt that you can loose the keypad of your car keys.

I also learnt that the car won’t start with just the analog part of the key (yes, I’m *that* oblivious to how car works).

The keypad is nowhere to be found and I’m stuck at work waiting for my husband to pick me up, so much for my Saturday night!

It was warm enough for the car wash to be open, so I brought my car through first, then went back for my truck. I was finishing up when the exit door shut on my hood, with, like, 45 seconds to go yet for drying.
