Even if you love your job, there are some days that seem like nothing can go right. If you find yourself having one of those days, just keep in mind that things could be much, much worse.
Just ask the people on this list. From taking instructions a bit too literally to being the butt of a cruel prank, these unlucky workers have all experienced rough days.
These unfortunate folks must have stepped under a giant ladder, because despite their best intentions to do their jobs, they’ve become (hilarious) examples of the horrible bad days we all sometimes have at work.
The beauty is that your bad days aren’t caught on camera. So check out these stories, go and find a four-leaf clover and hope that you’re a bit luckier than these poor employees.
