Life isn’t always breezy. It can sneak up on us and take us by surprise as it knocks us to the ground. Sometimes, we have great days. Other times, not so much. Whether it’s an issue of your laptop crashing right before deadline, dropping a tray of eggs after you’ve just mopped the floor, mistakenly putting a red sock in the laundry with your beautiful white linen, missing the flight to your long-awaited island holiday, or something much worse, we’ve all had days where we wish we’d stayed in bed.
There’s something oddly gratifying about knowing someone had a worse time than us. And that’s why We has compiled a list of totally unfortunate posts from people who could win gold in the Terrible Day Olympics, if there ever were such a thing. Keep scrolling, and don’t forget to thank your lucky stars that you’ve never made this list.

I just turned 26 despite having a bunch of gray hairs. I was playing games tonight and decided to call it early and whenever I took off my headset my fingers brushed across something smooth. There’s not normally anything smooth there so I audibly said “that’s not good” to myself.
My family doesn’t have history with balding on either side, we just start graying early. We also have pretty thick heads of hair and the rest of my hair seems to totally fine. I was going to go to bed but now I’m going to spend my night researching whether I’ve got ringworm or alopecia.
I hope you’re having a better night.
