15 People Who May as Well Be Magnets for Bad Luck

It’s probably safe to say that everyone has had a bad day at some point in their lives. We know the feeling: “Is it me, or am I becoming a real misfortune magnet?” Well, not to worry. You’re not the only one who thinks this. Even while some people wander around with a smile on their face, everybody is entitled to be a little frustrated when their $300 headphone set didn’t last a day because their dog chewed it to death, they broke 10,500 eggs at once, or ended up crashing their car in the pool. These, along with other cringe-worthy anecdotes, were shared by Reddit users on this thread.
On the other hand, Bright Side thought compiling some of the best images from the thread would cheer up anyone having a bad day out there. Take a look at our compilation below, and enjoy.
