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.
#1 This Guy Moved The Cones To Park. Cones Were There For A Delivery That Was Coming
Update: I took this picture and told my delivery driver to do it. It was at an apartment building. The owner of the car does not live there. He refused to move. This was faster than calling a tow truck. It was like this for a week.

#19 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.
