20+ People Whose Luck Took a Day Off

Some of our worst days are nothing but little troubles compared to other people’s bad days. Imagine flying 13 hours to admire the beauty of volcanoes only to witness a foggy day. If this doesn’t sound half bad, maybe a tree falling and turning your car into a convertible or your toddler knocking out your front tooth while playing can change your mind.

Bright Side believes that bad days make us appreciate our good days more. Just be sure to bat an eye over at our bonus section to see what animals’ unlucky days look like.
