Stuff happens. Things go wrong. Sometimes they are shocking and horrible things that at the time are hard to take. Maybe they will be hard to take for a long time.

Or maybe, by the time you’ve cleaned up whatever mess has been made—and taken a really great picture to post online—you’re already starting to chuckle.

For the rest of us, those who didn’t have to live the event, just look at the pictures, we’re either laughing or wincing. And depending on what’s happened, some very nice people are even lending emotional and practical support. Because there really are some nice people left in this world.

So, 50 things that happened the truly sucked.

1. Vegetable garden fail

The thing about planting seeds and waiting for your harvest, is you have to wait for your harvest to know what you got. This person waiting 3 months for this carrot—I bet they were expecting something a bit bigger.

2. That incredible view

A lot went into this. A 4-hour drive. Then a 3-hour hike up. At the top of Mt. Carrigan, and after all that effort, this was the view. At least he seems to have taken it in stride.

3. The problem with self-diagnosis

A man in Eastern China was bitten by a viper so he amputated his finger. When he went to the hospital for treatment, he was told it was unnecessary as the bite wasn’t lethal. Ouch.

4. There goes the security deposit

Imagine renting a place for several years. During that time there are no issues. Then, on the last day of your occupancy, after you have packed up and are doing a final cleaning, you break your oven door. Bye bye deposit money.

5. Never a good time

There is no such thing as a good time and place for a tire blow out. Having one happen at 2 AM in the middle of nowhere just sucks.

6. Someone just hurled!

I’m wondering if it’s deliberate because, you know, it’s a cat. But it is in the car on the way to the vet, so there is a good chance it really is sick. Or it’s just mad and making its owner pay.

7. Another gardening fail

Who doesn’t love a big juicy watermelon to share on a hot day? Well, here’s another gardener who waited months to harvest one… and got one about the size of a lemon.

8. Just because it isn’t marked fragile…

Don’t you hate it when you get a delivery and absolutely no care has been taken with it? This person waited for an oil filter to arrive so they could change the oil in the car. Yeah, that’s not happening now.

9. But how?

There is no doubt this sucks, but I just can’t wrap my head around how it could happen. Someone accidentally added a block of cheese to their laundry. I just hope it was a cold water load.

10. Nightmare corn

It seems 2020 isn’t just a bad year for us humans. Something is very wrong with vegetable crops as well. This corn hasn’t been nibbled on by creatures. This is what it grew like. So much for that sweet corn you were expecting with supper tonight.

11. Labor Day weekend, Colorado

How is this for a crazy forecast? No matter where you turn, the weather sucks. Or something is on fire.

12. Hmm, chicken nuggets

Sometimes it’s best to stick with what you know. Trying out something new can come with some surprises. Like trying a new brand of chicken nuggets… and finding no chicken inside!

13. Someone is going to be late for work

Imagine heading to your car in the morning and finding it like this. Someone put it up on blocks and stole your wheels.

14. First day of back to school

I wonder if the kids are happy because they likely got out of any schoolwork. First, there was a windstorm that messed with the internet connection. Then a tree came down on the house.

15. A lovely night to sit on the deck

Or not. Imagine this being the view from your front deck. Knowing that depending on which way the wind decides to blow, that line of fire might be coming right for you.

16. Hmm, pizza

I would be extremely pissed if this happened. A sealed pizza box that has biscuits inside. I bet someone took out the pizza, glued the other size back down, and returned it with the biscuits inside.

17. The new curriculum

So many kids are doing their schoolwork from home now. In some ways that’s easier for them. However, depending on who is creating their courses, I bet some are banging their heads against the desk.

18. You thought you paid for a good job

Hiring contractors and tradesmen can be traumatizing. Because how do you know they’ve done a good job? Then you find out they didn’t—when a moderately strong wind did this to your fence.

19. Damn clothing tags

Don’t you hate it when a tag somewhere on your clothes is constantly poking you? Well, if you decide to cut it off, do so with care. Because cutting a hole in a brand-new shirt will suck.

20. It’s a week old

So your old car finally dies, and you decide to buy something brand new, even though your gut says used is more practical. But you just want something you’re not going to have to fix in the short term. Then someone takes out your week old ride.

21. This could be a good thing

So a rat chewed through the internet cable leading to someone’s house. Forget the dog ate my homework. If you’re working or schooling from home you have a valid excuse, should you want it. If you want to watch Netflix, you’re screwed.

22. Oh, boy!

Did it get struck by lightning? I’m pretty sure that’s scorch marks I see on the ground. But it doesn’t really matter how it happened. It still sucks!

23. Looks like chili

Traveling with food is always an issue. Especially when you don’t properly contain it. Because you know that the one time you have something like a full pot of chili, something will happen and it will end up looking like this.

24. I bet there’s some damage there

This is a skid of lumber for a new fence. And you can bet all that wood is going to have to be inspected after the delivery guy failed to check the straps on the pallet. Picking that up is going to be fun—as it sits in the middle of the street.

25. Where’s my beer?

When you buy a four pack expecting to actually get four. Which is a very reasonable expectation. Accept one still unopened can is dented and empty. But maybe it doesn’t suck, because if they reach out to the manufacturer, they will probably get a free four-pack.

26. This could be bad

This is the key to someone’s storehouse on their property. Half in hand, half broken off in the lock. At the very least, they are looking at a drive to Home Depot, so they aren’t getting in there right away. I wonder what they were hoping to get out.

27. Heartbreaking

You are all set to break open a bottle of wine and your corkscrew breaks. To add insult to injury it’s not a cheap corkscrew.

28. It’s all about perspective

Yes, this sucks. The tires blew on the camper. But it happened on the way home, and it happened only 14 miles from home. If it had have happened when they were just starting the journey, that would have been much worse.

29. It’s unbreakable

Yes, that is the claim made by Corelle Dinnerware. Their stuff is unbreakable. There is at least one person that would disagree with that statement.

30. Ouch

That hurts just looking at it. And reminds me of all the times my mother warned me about walking barefoot in the grass. You just can’t see what’s hidden there. Like this shard of glass embedded in someone’s heel.

31. Coronavirus / shared keyboard

But you’re all set because you have your pack of wipes. Your last pack of wipes. So you pull back the adhesive, only to find out no opening was cut. The first day of school shouldn’t be so traumatizing.

32. The apple doesn’t fall…

Look at this poor apple tree. Newly planted but not protected. In less than a week, the deer descended. They ate the branches and stripped the bark.

33. Glass half empty

Theoretically, you could still hold some water in each side, but who would risk slicing their lips open? Either way, that’s a pretty impressive break.

34. Now this really sucks

Baby is crying. Formula is ready. But then you drop the bottle and is smashes—because, yes, glass really is better—and now you have this to deal with as well. While the baby cries.

35. I bet there’s signage

And I also bet the driver didn’t bother to read the signage. And that that vehicle is likely a rental, given it’s a U-Haul. I really hope they have some sort of extended insurance.

36. This makes me hurt just looking at it

Sunscreen is produced for a reason. And when you are out on the water, those reasons intensify. This is what happens when you’re out on a float for an extended time without it.

37. Kids. Gotta love ‘em

At least this person was calm enough to stand and take this picture. That’s an Apple TV remote sitting at the bottom of the toilet.

38. The reason I don’t have a pet

Let me say I love dogs. I grew up having dogs in the house. But there is no way I could ever deal with that. And no, I don’t have kids, either.

39. The oven as a storage cupboard

I’m guilty of storing stuff in the oven as well. But I’m talking cookie sheets and such. Things that are used in the oven. I would never think to keep a plastic cutting board in there. Can you imagine the toxic stink after that burned?

40. Start swimming

I never thought of this, but when you have dog on the boat, it needs to go pee somewhere. This owner loaded the dog on the dingy and took it to shore. Now he’s going to need to rescue the dingy.

41. Bet there was some swearing

Finishing a puzzle is so satisfying. Especially a big one. You work at it for hours, and there is a certain high you get when you fit in that last piece. Having this happen next would be traumatizing.

42. Of course the plate flipped

This is like dropping your toast and jam. The toast will not land dry side down. It will land sticky, messy side down. This is not going to be a fun cleanup job.

43. Drive thru disaster

I’m wondering who pays for this if it happens? Do they try to determine whose fault it is, or does the restaurant pick up the cost? And that looks like a big order.

44. This is why we have vent hoods

I guess if you live in an old house or apartment, you might not have a vent hood. Because I’m pretty sure not having one is a code violation. Either way, someone got lucky because they had a fire extinguisher handy.

45. Always put your car in park before exiting

Yes, that is the backend of a car you see in the water. And apparently it’s not even her car, it’s her daughters’. Explaining what happened will suck!

46. What is that odor?

I’ve never lived somewhere where there is a septic tank. But I would imagine if you hit it with the lawnmower and smashed it open, it would stink up the neighborhood.

47. No dishes in the bathroom

It’s good to know your coffee mug is study. Who wants it breaking while you’re using it? However, I’m sure everyone would agree that in this case, the mug breaking instead of the sink would have been preferable.

48. There’s never a good time for something like this

But having your key break off in the ignition when you’re heading to your first job interview since March is just cruel and unjust. Just getting an interview these days is hard.

49. This is pretty funny

So don’t leave your flipflops in the sun for an extended period of time. They can shrink. Crocs will do this too.

50. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt

Is there any coming back from this? Can you wash off the salt and put them back in the pan, or are they destined for the garbage now? What a waste!
