You wake up in a daze and realize your phone is dead. It's 10 a.m. You were supposed to go to work an hour ago, but your alarm clock is trapped in a phone that desperately needs to be charged. You rush out the door as fast as you can, only to find that your car has a flat tire. You need to call your boss, but your phone is still dead and you can't even call a cab without it. And when it seems like things couldn't get any worse, you dash back to your apartment to find that you've locked yourself out.

Does this passage make you nervous? Sorry, take a deep breath. This is not your reality! But we all know what it's like to have a comically bad day. It's like a storm cloud hovering over us that we can't seem to get out of because when it rains, it pours. After the fact, these bad days often turn into funny anecdotes we can share with our friends, and we breathe a sigh of relief once the day is over. So, in an effort to laugh with some of the people who share their worst failures and bad days online (well, and a little bit), we've gathered some photos of these horrible experiences for you below.

So sit back, relax, and be thankful that your day wasn't as bad as the days in these photos. If you'd like to see more hilarious fails that popped up on Bored Panda, you can find our last post on the same topic here and here. If you have a pet, you can also share photos of yourself and your funny dogs or cats.

Unfortunately, bad days are something we all have to deal with. They can be caused by a variety of reasons, including making a mistake with huge repercussions, losing something like our job or an important possession, getting broken up with, fighting with a loved one, getting hurt or having a really embarrassing moment. This list features bad days that didn't have a life-changing impact but can make for a great story later in life. From mildly annoying inconveniences to injuries that led to a trip to the hospital, in this list, you'll find some of the most interesting examples of bad luck people have experienced.

But these photos made me wonder if some of us are really luckier than others, or if we all have an equal number of good days and bad days. Sure, perception is a factor in whether we perceive a day as positive or negative, but when it comes to things that are actually out of our control, are some of us just unlucky?

In addition to ourselves, many of us also have cats, and if we are having a very happy day ourselves, then we should also make our cats happy, and if we are having an unlucky day, then our cats having a good day will also give us a sense of comfort, which I highly recommend personalized cat collars next.
