Life has a funny way of keeping us humble. One minute you’re cruising along, and the next, you’re spilling your coffee, dropping your phone, and realizing that the universe really does have a sense of humor.
Whether it’s stepping into a puddle you didn’t see coming or getting stuck behind the slowest driver on the planet, there’s always something to remind us that life isn’t all smooth sailing.
But hey, the good news is—no matter how bad your day’s going, there’s always someone out there who’s having a rougher one.
We’ve gathered this week’s funniest “well, that sucks” moments from the depths of Reddit to prove it. So, sit back and take comfort in the fact that, at least today, it’s not you.
Well, hopefully.
1. “A bird crapped in the open mouth piece of my coffee”
3. “Right before I left the trampoline park, I put back on my blue shoes. It wasn’t until I got home I realized I didn’t wear my blue shoes to the trampoline park.”
13. “Had an unexplained allergic reaction for 12 years. Did a bloodtest and turns out I’m allergic to cats. We’ve had cats in our home for 15 years, and we currently have two”
26. “In Denmark a flat-screen was delivered on the right street and number. But the wrong town. Houses were not built yet. It was pouring rain. Not my TV”
28. “Red Robin has pizza now, but when you customize the order it defaults to no cheese and no sauce. I didn’t notice it until I got home from curbside pickup.”
31. “For a month, I thought I lost my wedding ring on a cross country road trip. I called gas stations, pawn shops, searched lost and found post. Finally, I gave up ever seeing it again when we realized it was under my husband’s deodorant!!!”
When he's not doomscrolling Twitter or writing for Pleated-Jeans, Nate Armbruster writes jokes—and then tells them on stage as a stand-up comedian, where he can watch audiences (hopefully) laugh in real-time.
