People Who Got The Short End Of The Stick In Life
Life has a nasty knack of not giving us what we ask of it. Just when you think that things are going to go your way, life comes around and knocks you down, laughs, takes your lunch money and then steps on you one more time for good measure.
Just about all of us have had a few moments where life decided to give us lemons, but these people got full crate of them dropped on their heads.
This Is Not Why He Spent So Much Time Watering The Garden
It's kind of like when you think you have a chocolate chip cookie, but it ends up being oatmeal-raisin. It's still a cookie, but not the cookie you wanted. Disappointment reigns.
"I'm Sorry, But I Can't Round Your Grade Up"
This might be the worst grade you can get as a student. It's so cruel to get so close, and miss just by a little. I think I would actually prefer to fail.
Photoshop Really Does The Most
Let's be clear: I'm sure the expectations for this $1 taco were pretty low, but this comparison is devastatingly awful. Burger King, stay in your lane and leave the questionable Mexican cuisine to Taco Bell.
One Delivery Man, One Sorry Man, And One Bad Time For Both
This is definitely not the type of situation you sign up for when you're just trying to deliver food, and this is also not what this guy was planning on when he racked up a credit charge to apologize.
Acrylic Nails or Play-Doh?
Walking out of the salon with a fresh set of nails is a fly feeling, unless your nail technician decides to absolutely butcher your acrylics. I hope that this woman got a redo and a refund.
Why Own A Laptop If You Can't Even Unplug It?
There's poor battery life, and then there is this. I hope this guy's warranty is still effective. If not, good luck trying to get anything done without being less than one yard from a power outlet.
Hitting A Snag On The Execution
Have your friends ever convinced you to do something only for it to backfire? Go down the waterslide, they said. It will be fun, they said. Nothing could possibly go wrong, they said.
Perhaps This Would Have Been A Good Idea Before The Tattoo Appointment...
Imagine believing that you got a cool foreign phrase permanently inked onto your skin only to find out that it actually means "turkey sandwich." Is it too late to change it?
Not Only Did She Not Get Her Order, But She Has To Prove She Didn't
Online shopping always has the potential to go horribly wrong, but this customer service request is a slap in the face. Please, just send her a new set of earrings.
Paying To No Longer Get Paid
Getting fired via text is already a hard blow to take, but having to pay to get fired via text might be the rudest thing life could ever do to you.
He Really Thought He Had A 100% Chance Of Success
He thought it through: if he didn't give an option where he could get rejected, he was bound to get the yes. He was wrong. Katie, on the other hand, is a mastermind.
I Would Call The Police On Math
As someone whose ability to do math peaked in the third grade, this is especially infuriating. I understand what it's like to rarely be right, but to be right and still be told you're wrong? Criminal.
This Girl Got A Raw Deal
Picture this: you're running late. You decide to take a quick trip to the drive-thru to pick up some much-needed food. You take your first bite, and now you're at risk of a salmonella infection. Tragic.
This Was The Opposite Of A Boss Moment
Knock-off products can be pretty spooky purchases, but this sneaky price sticker placement set this poor person up for a world of disappointment. I'm sure Hugo Boss would boo, too.
Realizing You Married A Psychopath
Marriage, as a commitment, can be pretty scary. What if the love of your life turns into a person you don't recognize? At that point, do you really wait until death to part and eat the raisin ice cream?
Inflight Entertainment To Enhance Your Fear Of Air Travel
Airplanes can be a bit scary, even for frequent flyers. This airline decided to escalate that fear by showing the worst news story they could, and the gates are shut, so getting off isn't an option.
Bon Appetite!
Most of us don't go to McDonald's for top-notch cuisine, but this is a different kind of disappointing. What are the odds that the person making this burger thought the customer was absolutely nuts?
He Was Trying To Make A Joke, But Ended Up Being The Joke
Panorama photo fails are nothing new, but it's exceptionally cruel of life to ensure that not only was his trip-and-fall captured, but he's also accidentally pointing it out for any viewer.
Two Heartbreaks For The Price Of One!
Imagine what it was like for this woman to come home, ready to cry about the loss of her cat, only for it to walk up and sit on her, and then to realize the other is missing.
I Mean, It's Technically Correct, But...
There are many ways to honor our late loved ones, and this son and his family really tried to celebrate his father's birthday. Dear Dad, next year we'll choose a newspaper with a better editor.
The Worst Type Of CLIF-Hanger
The ironic symmetry between the image of someone hanging off a cliff on the packaging and the CLIF bar itself hanging from the vending machine wire is so perfectly horrible. The person who made this purchase was probably livid.
Hey, Some People Pay To Have A Bleached... Never Mind
This is a testament to the value of reading the packaging before using the product. On the bright side, I'm sure these wipes got rid of 99.9% of bacteria and germs!
When You're Looking Like A Snack But The Universe Isn't Hungry
Looking good takes way more time and effort than anyone talks about, so whenever I look good, it's an event. It's disrespectful of the universe to not coordinate my good days with the days I run into every single person I have ever met.
... I Saw, I Did Not Conquer Photo Day
School photo day is stressful enough without the added embarrassment of a poor shirt choice and bad photo cropping. I hope this photographer has retired for the sake of school-age children everywhere.
Have You Ever Been Catfished By A Pizza Party?
Can you imagine going to an event just because somebody told you that there would be pizza there, only to find out that this is what they meant? This photo taker doesn't have to because they lived it.
Wanted A Physical Journey, Not A Spiritual One
Why go to church when you can take an Uber and have an unsolicited sermon on the way to the airport instead? I hope that the driver at least didn't drop a number two in this guy's house.
Oh, Now You Smile
There's nothing like doing your child's hair, picking a nice outfit, sending her for photo day, and paying for photos just for her to refuse to smile in them. Trying to capture childhood memories is a trap.
I Would Just Leave The Gym At This Point
Committing to working on your physical fitness is no easy feat, especially when it comes to running. This disrespectful treadmill went out of its way to tell this person that they're horribly out of shape.
Want To File A Complaint With HR About Having To Wear This
Customer service jobs are generally a drag. Now just imagine adding a name tag that everyone will make a joke about while she's scanning and bagging their Cheetos and tomato soup cans.
Well, That's A Way To Be Remembered
Coach Colin Flackett definitely had some enemies in order for his commemorative tree to be chopped down. I guess it was a nice thought by whoever planted it, but now it just looks sad.
Oof, That Is Rough
Playing truth and dare at a party is all fun and games until the other kids there use it to let you know that no one wants you to be there.
Only A Short Detour
The road between these two cities was closed due to flooding and the route depicted here was the next fastest route with paved roads that one could take. It's normally an 11-hour drive.
That Person's Flight Left Two Hours Ago
While every single person has a different idea about what's a necessity when traveling, there's no denying that a passport is one of the only things you truly cannot go without.
She Definitely Enjoyed That "I Told You So"
Fellas, here's a life tip: if your wife tells you to measure something, you should do it. At worst, it will be a waste of time. At best, it saves you from being mocked eternally.
Tony Hawk Can't Catch A Break
Tony Hawk just wanted to have a seamless travel experience and pick up his rental car, but unfortunately everyone thinks that the use of his name is a joke. Maybe he should start booking things under a pseudonym.
The House Belongs To The Snake Now
This person went up into their attic looking for a water leak only to discover that they had a reptilian roommate sharing the house with them. Anyway, time to pack the bags and flee.
Is This Why My Online Shipping Order Didn't Arrive?
I'll be honest: when I order items online, I never really give much thought to how it ends up at my door. I just hit "track shipping" on repeat wondering why my package is late. Meanwhile, the whole crate is swimming with the fishes.
When You See It...
This person spent 30 minutes tearing around her house searching for the drill she had misplaced only to realize that it had become camouflaged in the pattern of her bedspread.
It's The Things You Love That Hurt You Most
Feeling in the mood for tomato soup, this person put a bowl to heat up in the microwave while tossing bread in the toaster. When she was taking the soup out, the toast popped up, scared her, and caused her the spill the soup and burn her hand in the process.
I Feel So Bad For Them
Even if you are overweight and are ready to acknowledge it, there's something significantly awful about not even being able to fit in the hospital scan machine and getting sent to the zoo instead.
