In life, there are things we can control and things we can’t. But the humbling part is, it only takes one moment of the second to completely cancel out all the effort of the first. That’s just the unfair, unavoidable nature of bad luck.
Sadly, these poor souls had to learn that lesson the hard way. What they went through is so absurdly unfortunate that it’s hard not to feel for them—even if you can’t help but laugh a little too. Scroll down and give them some sympathy, because they’ve well and truly earned it.

Plus he crashed into my neighbor's garage, taking out his fence and finally stopped when he crashed into my backyard fence. He didn't have insurance either.

#56 Well, That’s What I Get For Trying To Tidy Up My Pantry
Was just trying to clean off some items from my countertop including a COSTCO size bottle of red wine. Accidentally hit it against a bottle of champagne, mind you I don’t even drink it’s just what I keep on hand for entertaining. And yes, the shelves are permanently stained. But at least they’re pink.

#60 Forced To Gate Check Guitar, Got It Back Split In Half
Long story short, I’m never flying with a soft shell guitar case anymore. Definitely at least partially my fault to not have had it better protected, but this hadn’t been an issue for the past 3 years until my latest delta flight…
Was told to gate check my $1000+ guitar in its soft shell case (i know, stupid, but much easier to carry it as a backpack than haul around a hard shell case when you have suitcases) by flight crew on my 6 hour flight across the US.
Even with strings almost fully loosened, and two thick sweatshirts wrapped around it, I guess the handling was too much for her.
