We’ve all had that very worst day combo. 3 hours of sleep combined with a car that won’t start, add piles of work sitting on your desk and a call from tax inspection (add your scenario here) and voila, your day has just turned into a nightmare. Call them first world problems, but whoever has been there knows very well just how much it takes to cool off your boiling blood.
Luckily, there’s one band-aid known to humanity that eases this pain. And it’s knowing that someone out there is going through a wayyy worse day. Like, worse². Both vile and soothing, we present you with We’s compilation of the most severe day-breaking fails that are impossible not to laugh at.
For those who are dealing with even more severe worst day situations, please get an extra dose of others’ misfortune on our previous posts here, here, and here. And remember that at its worst, a bad day can only last up to 24 hours.
#1 Exsperminate
#2 I’m 49. Just Found This In My Mum’s Bookcase
#3 Heckin Bots
It’s crazy how much some unlucky incidents and totally random things can change the course of our day. In reality, every one of us can go from joyful to plain wrecked in a moment for countless reasons. Spilling your takeaway coffee on a blouse is one, getting a call you didn’t expect is another, and the list goes on.
We reached out to Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and author of the book “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do,” to find out more about why such random things like spilled coffee can be an instant day-breaker. Amy explained that it all has to do with us letting negative thoughts in.
“When you believe things like the world is unfair or nothing in your life ever goes right, you experience upsetting feelings.” It’s especially true “when something doesn’t work out the way you hoped.”
#4 It Was A Great Day Till This Moment
#5 An Honest Mistake
#6 When The Bakers Make The Mix Wrong And Don’t Realize Yeast Doesn’t Just Stop Working Because It’s In A Dumpster
But what if we teach ourselves to become immune to both small and large misfortunes? Amy suggests that we can, in fact, train positive thinking. “When you notice unhelpful thoughts like, ‘This is awful,’ or ‘Nothing ever goes right,’ respond to the thoughts in a more productive way.”
This is the essential point when you can still save your day from breaking. This is why you should try to reframe the sudden negative thoughts into something more realistic. “For example, if you’re thinking it’s unfair that you have to wait for traffic, remind yourself, ‘There are millions of cars on the road. Traffic jams are bound to happen. I’ll be OK,'” Amy suggested.

#8 This Is The Worst Picture Ever Taken Of Me
#9 Priest Accidentally Live-Streamed Mass With Sunglasses And Hat Filter
Of course, there are people with a personality that makes it easier for them to be positive, but it doesn’t mean all the others should stay in misery. “Everyone can develop a healthier, more realistic mindset,” Amy urges.
“You can train your brain to look for the good in the world and develop the mental strength you need to perform and feel your best.” Start from small steps like reframing negative thoughts into realistic facts, and grow your positive thinking into a habit.
Accepting things for what they are and not for how they make you feel can be truly therapeutic. In this way, you no longer blame yourself for something as ridiculous as spilled coffee and the day, it keeps on shining.
