Having a bad day? It could be much worse! – Hilarious images capture people plagued with terrible luck, including a girl who caught her hair on fire!

By now, we’re all well aware that not all days are made equal. Some days, you’ll be waking up with a bolt of energy – ready to conquer the day with a smile even if it’s packed with your least favourite chores and errands. But on other days, crawling out of bed feels like a challenge and you may even be one small inconvenience away from a complete meltdown.

But there’s always a silver lining to every struggle we’re faced with. This time around, you can rest assured that you’re not as unlucky as one of these folks… (Or maybe you are and you can share your story in the comments below!)

A series of photos taken from WackoJaco captured the very moment people from across the globe found themselves in a real pickle. From one person nearly winning the lottery, to a birthday girl who embarrassingly caught her hair on fire.


Let’s kick things off with an unsuspecting woman who may start thinking twice about doing her make-up while walking down the street. This lady was attempting to multitask getting ready and heading to her destination until she tripped in the middle of curling her eyelashes. We’re not going to lie, that looks painful…

On the other hand, another lady accidentally sat on a newly painted bench. But hey, at least she’s already wearing a top in a similar shade, right? Flaunt that now-striped jacket!

Do you get the jitters during a flight? If so, you may want to hold your breath for this next one. One passenger’s trip was deemed memorable for all the wrong reasons. After taking a quick glimpse of the view from the plane’s window, he discovered that a chunk of the aircraft’s wing was… Missing.

Meanwhile, in another fiasco, a motorist was disappointed upon opening their car door with the other half of it stuck in place. What are the chances, eh?

Have you ever had a frustratingly close win on something? So close that the occurrence left you feeling more dismayed than anything? Well, imagine how this person who NEARLY won the lottery feels. He was off on every single number by just a digit. Argh!


In Sri Lanka, one man was about to pick up a bug spray but it seems that a huge spider was already a step ahead of him. Now, isn’t that ironic…

And it only gets wilder from here on. Picture this – it’s a beautiful day outside so you decide to step out and bask in the sun. You then decide to take a seat beneath a tree and later on realise that it was the WORST idea in the world. That’s exactly what one woman had to face after a porcupine fell from a tree and right on top of her head. She was left with painful, yellow needles all over her scalp. Yikes!

The bad luck streak continues with poor Diego. He seemed to have misunderstood the actual date of his exam… And he missed taking it as a result.

If you dread winter just as much as we do, then you’ll be able to identify with this next one. One unfortunate man from the US was surprised by the shocking amount of snow that accumulated outside of his front door. Is this the ‘wall’ that the US so badly wants to build?

Meanwhile, another man was left with no choice but to drive around with the words ‘LAME’ on the back of his car after the ‘F’ fell off his Ford’s Fiesta Flame.

What was supposed to be a delightful day of celebration turned into a disaster after one woman caught her hair on fire while blowing out her birthday candles.


And last but not least, an unsuspecting man flashed a huge grin for a picture, unaware of the pack of lions staring at him just a few metres away. We’re not so sure if he was just as giddy after taking this picture…

All these made me laugh but l had one of those, the joke's on you when l took my first plane flight around 1984. I was on the midnight horror in a wing seat to the Eastern States. In the air looking out l saw a tiny Moon & thought that was nice. Later into the flight the Moon was there again, must be following us l thought & so it happened again. Only as we landed with the sun coming up was l able to see that that Moon was the light in the end of the wing. How silly l felt but it has become a joke l can now share with people
