You can’t control everything life throws at you.
But what you can (sort of) control is how you react when things go off the rails. And when that something is an unfortunate mishap, you’ve got two options: let it ruin your day or, after the initial frustration, choose to laugh it off.
That’s the spirit behind the Facebook group fittingly called ‘Anything Gone Wrong,’ where people share all kinds of fails, mess-ups, and chaotic moments.
We’ve rounded up some of the best ones below. Enjoy them—and be glad they didn’t happen to you.
#21 Got My First Car, Drunk Driver Totaled It Out Less Than 3 Weeks Later
I spent years working towards getting my first car, finally got it on January 3rd of this year. On January 20th, it was parked outside my house when a drunk driver slammed into it head-on, going excessively over the speed limit and totaling it out.
Still trying to work on getting a new car while also unfortunately making payments on this one.

#33 Ok Seriously Guys… I Just Got Spray Foamed In My Pipe. Obviously It’s Filled Up Now, But How Do I Get It Out?
It’s gonna smell if it gets warm, and could blow my head gasket on me if the pressure from the load in the pipe Is too much.
Any fix? Maybe someone could somehow s.u.c.k it out?
Yes, I made a police report.
