41 Photos of People Experiencing Mishaps and Misfortunes That Will Make You Feel Grateful for Your Own Day

Avoiding bad luck can be a bit like navigating a maze of superstitions. Knock on wood, toss spilled salt, steer clear of ladders and black cats—these are just a few of the tricks. And whatever you do, stay home on Friday the 13th. Don’t open umbrellas indoors, keep shoes off tables, and be wary of mirrors. Some folks even believe a lucky penny and an evil eye amulet can ward off misfortune.

But hey, not everyone can dodge the bad luck bullet. The folks on this list must’ve checked all the wrong boxes on a superstitious checklist. Lucky for us, their misadventures got caught on camera and shared on the “Images that are unfortunate events” Facebook group. Take a peek and have a good laugh—it might just make your day seem a whole lot luckier!
