Trouble foreseen is trouble avoided but predicting those troubles is basically an uphill task. Sometimes it’s the smallest thing that can spoil your mood, while other times, it’s a bunch of fails and fiascos that manage to chase you throughout the day. At these moments, it’s important to remember that no one is insured against such fails and that any of them can become a funny story to laugh at together with friends.
We at Bright Side are sure that even the most awful fails can be treated with some humor. But still, we can’t help but empathize with the people in this article that suffered some serious misfortune.
1. A guy purchased a watermelon at a train stop but didn’t realize it wouldn’t fit through the bars.
