15 People Who Saw Their Expectations Crash and Burn

There are many people and studies saying that the key to happiness and satisfaction is keeping your expectations low. This might sound pessimistic to many of you, but it can also be freeing to others. Starting off with low expectations gives you the opportunity to be surprised and enjoy even the smallest happy moment. Maybe that’s what we should all do when we decide to order things online.

Bright Side wants to send our condolences to everyone who has been let down by reality and remind you that these things happen to everybody.
