I’ve seen a lot of bad weeks. But this collection might be a new low, in the best possible way. From minor workplace slip-ups to full-blown professional disasters, these thirty people cover every shade of wrong, and every single one of them is wishing they could start over.
1. “First day on the new job”

2. “I work at a small coffee shop. My boss just absent-mindedly poured unroasted beans into a batch of roasted ones. Here’s us separating 10,000 beans…by hand.”

3. “I just broke a $5,000.00 bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac at work”

4. “Wore two different shoes at work”

5. “Poor Megan”

6. “Walking to my first job this morning with a fresh cup of coffee. That’s not cream, it’s a crow toilet hole in one.”

7. “Get all the way to work, look down and this is what I see. I work 1.5 hours from home, so I can’t go home and change.”

8. “Just lost thousands of dollars worth of product at work. Most likely getting fired.”

9. “Just got back to work after a few days and this is what I face”

10. “Didn’t Realize Until I Got To Work”

11. “I made myself a nice coffee after work and this bugger decided to ruin it”

12. “Forgot to change into my work pants. I work in a warehouse.”

13. “Baked cake for my work colleagues for my birthday and nobody took any”

14. “Got home from work today. Realized I’ve been walking around meeting clients with a giant 6-7 in rip in my pants that no one said anything about. So I figured the internet should also know.”

15. “Work table collapsed while I was on lunch break.”

16. “Been out of work for 2 months, so this guy made a home out of my work shoes”

17. “Ordered a stamp, guess the photo didn’t work”

18. “Asked my buddy at work if he got dressed in the dark.”

19. “Had to go buy a new pair of work shoes”

20. “Went to get my work boots from the garage and….”

“Boots have been sitting in garage for a month and they look like the moss man from tales from the crypt.”
21. “Heard we got a new chair for work and my coworker broke it before my shift even started”

22. “I wore my pants all day at work like this without realizing”

23. “I just spent over an hour in traffic on my way to work. Only then I looked down.”

24. “Late for work. Shut the fridge door too hard. Knocked wine bottle off the fridge. Hit my coffee. Bad morning.”

25. “Need to keep the light on when I get ready for work..”

26. “My buddy got this after working at his job for 42 years. The sticker isn’t even on straight lol”

27. “When getting dressed in the dark only to look down upon getting to work”

28. “My shoes crumbled into literal powder on my way to work”

29. “Ever make a $100,000 mistake?”

30. “2 hour old brand new off the shelf Red Wing boots disintegrated. Cost my friend a day of work.”
