Some people trip on the sidewalk. Others spill soup on a white shirt before an interview. And then there are the legends in this post — the ones who tried, failed, and unintentionally made the rest of us feel slightly better about our own disasters.
So, here’s to the courageously clumsy, the hilariously unlucky, and the people who documented it all for the internet’s enjoyment. If any of these made you laugh-snort or wince in solidarity, do them justice: leave a comment with your own bad day moment. Bonus points if it involves glitter, cake, or a seagull.
Because at the end of the day, we’re all just one slippery banana peel away from joining this list. Might as well laugh about it together.
