A bad time at work carries zero redeeming value. It throws you off your equilibrium and leaves you wanting to fast-forward through the day to go home and crawl up in bed.
But if it’s any consolation, everyone has gone through this displeasing experience. Some people even have enough courage to snap a photo and show the world their messed-up state of affairs while at the office.
These images are from the various corners of Reddit, which we’ve compiled for your entertainment. Enjoy scrolling.

#2 I Brought Muffins To Work Because Of My Birthday, 5 Minutes Later They Told Me I Am Fired Because Of Budget Cuts
I feel like an idiot, I’m already poor and this job was a bit of light in a dark cave. Still, let them keep the muffins though.

#5 Fly Emir8s – And Get Your Non-Profit’s 20 Ipads Confiscated
A little background – I work in IT, but volunteer with a healthcare non-profit that does health screenings around the world. We have screened at least 5,000 people since 2016 for hypertension, diabetes and kidney failure, successfully connecting at-risk people in remote areas with the help they need. I developed an app that uses a laptop, a wireless access point and 20 iPads to collect testing results, which allows us to collect data and get it to the doctors that can help.
After a successful 3-day screening in southwest Uganda last week where we saw over 1,000 people, I received my luggage back with a nice “we confiscated all your stuff” card from the Dubai airport, courtesy of Emir8s Air. Airport chat via WhatsApp confirmed it was taken with no ability to get it back. No reason was given, despite the airline’s website saying that checking tablets in luggage was allowed.
Our health screening program is pretty much dead now.

#18 My Gingerbread House vs. The One That Beat Me In The Gingerbread House Contest At Work
To note: it IS made of real gingerbread, handpainted with edible paint and to look like wood, molding chocolate and actual candy. The only things that are not edible are the trees (the green portion) and wooden sticks the house sits on, stairs and hot tub. It’s supposed to be an overwater bungalo during the winter.

#23 My Shoes Crumbled Into Literal Powder On My Way To Work
For context, these were relatively cheap off brand shoes I bought a few years ago and had not worn in the last 2 years. Had almost reached work when I noticed, had to ask the cab to take me back home and then bring me back to work :(

#32 I Have To Be At Work At 8 Am Tomorrow
Honda civic FWD. I don’t own a shovel cause it hasn’t snowed enough to need one in years. We got 8-10 inches but then the plow came through and made that wall. It’s going to get super cold tonight and freeze anything that managed to melt in the sun today. The worst part is the roads are starting to look drivable and I’m still stuck for now.

#33 7th Day At My New Job And This Happened. Didn’t Realize The Person Who Used It Last Left The Speed On High
Normally I’d check the speed before turning it on but today was an off day for me. To make matters worse I was working with a coworker who’s last day is today so he wasn’t bothered to help clean it up, he just laughed. For those who were wondering, it’s an instant pudding mix.

#40 The Chocolate My Work Gave Us As A Christmas Gift Had Bugs Inside Of It
I wasn’t the only one, I just thought it was a rumor going around my workplace but low it happened to me too. I feel bad because it definitely wasn’t my store manager’s fault and they were trying their best for us.
