That lovely German word ‘schadenfreude’ describes the pleasure that one gets in witnessing another person’s misfortune. While we don’t necessarily condone this slightly evil feeling, it can be useful in putting one’s own struggles and unfortunate events into perspective.
For instance, it’s Monday. You didn’t get much sleep, the car won’t start, and you’re late for work. Seems like you’re having the worst day ever! It’s easy to feel grumpy and full of self-pity; you might even bring the people around you down as well, with your crappy mood.
However, one look at this list, compiled by Bored Panda, will immediately make you realize how much worse things can be. These people are having a really bad day, , and it’s sure to be even more unlucky than yours!
Scroll down below for your Monday dose of schadenfreude for yourself, and sure your own funny accidents and worst fails in the comments!

#27 I’ve Been Using The Complimentary Towel At My Apartment’s Swimming Pool. Someone Just Told Me It’s A Towel For Wet Dogs
I just moved in to a new apartment complex and I’ve been using the new swimming pool and hot tub. I usually come straight from gym, so as a courtesy to others, I shower in this locker room before I use the pool. I keep forgetting to bring a towel so I quickly use one of these towels on the wall. Yesterday, a stranger saw me bathing and here and told me that this is actually a room meant for residents to give baths to their dogs, and that the shower I’m looking for is in a different locker room. As he tried to hold back laughter, he asked me what I thought this blue thing was for. I told him I thought it was for bathing babies. FML.
