Jimmy Fallon Asks People to Share Their #MyBadLuck Funny Stories And The Responses Are Perfect

All of us have bad days, it’s just a part of being human. There are moments when we can’t help but think about how rough it’s going. They say that misery loves company, but it’s also a hopeful sign knowing that we aren’t indeed ever alone. 

For most of us, mindlessly snacking and sitting in front of the television may be a perfect way to relax. And, we likely don’t pay attention to what we’re eating because we’re more focused on what’s in front of us. Lauren learned her lesson, as she shared her story with the world. 

First-date jitters are a real thing. There are so many thoughts bouncing around your head, such as: Will they like me? Do I look good? Will we get along? As much as we all like to guess what might happen, it seems that Delilah didn’t think about this particular “what if.” Unfortunately, Delilah’s stomach wasn’t in agreement with the whole thing that night.

Surely, we’ve all had dreams like this before. You’re sitting in class and, the next moment, you’re suddenly sitting on a toilet and the entire class is staring right at you. For all of you who have a fear of speaking in public, that dream may happen sooner or later. Amanda wasn’t so lucky when she was a little kindergartener. 

Often, people plan vacations around the weather of their destination. Those that live in northern climates might try and escape to the south to soak up those warmer temperatures in the winter. The same goes for those in the south wanting to experience the cooler temperatures of the north. When somebody doesn’t see snow often, imagine their disappointment when it started to fall right as they got on the plane.

This story is the very definition of bad luck! While Gabrielle was searching for an internship, she was having a pretty hard time. Not to mention, she had already lost her first internship, and the second one was literally washed away. 

Prom is one of those rites of passage for all teenagers. Some indulge in the occasion, renting big limos and looking extra fancy. It sounds like Andrea was excited to be one of those teenagers ready to go all out for her big night. Much to her dismay, after a bathroom trip, she discovered her dress’s zipper was broken and it wasn’t going to hold up. 

Emily is a good sister with good intentions. She offered to babysit for her brother and his wife so they could have one night away from their 3-month-old baby. Unfortunately, the little one gave Emily an unexpected jab in the eye, leaving her blind for the remainder of the night.

Lifeguards have an essential job: make sure nobody gets hurt, drown, or gets eaten by a shark. Even though it’s not a job that pays a hefty sum to its employees, it’s a rewarding one. One day, Natalie was simply doing her job and asked a couple to “act accordingly” because of their inappropriate behavior. You won’t believe what they did in response. 

Games and sports are good ol’ fun for some people, but, for others, it’s a competition. You can get badly hurt playing any sport, even when it’s in the spirit of fun. You can sprain an ankle, you can break a finger, yet did you know that you can take a frisbee to the head? Neither did we. 

This person’s story consists of plain bad luck and full-on embarrassment. Just imagine being in a public bathroom and, in a matter of seconds, you’re calling out for help. While it may be hard to picture that, it did happen to this poor girl. Luckily, the janitor came to her rescue. 

Auditioning for any talent show is beyond nerve-wracking and anxiety-inducing, especially if that show is American Idol. Becoming a contestant (and even auditioning for a show of that caliber) is a huge accomplishment. Usually, groups of four or five people would audition together and also get cut. 

Everybody can relate to those hectic days when they are rushing and likely forget something. Of course, when you’re in a time crunch, it’s easy to slip up and make a simple mistake. This particular mom woke up from a nap and had to race to pick up her son from school. Usually, parents just wait in a line of cars for their kids, but not this time. 

All of us have probably made some poor decisions when we’ve had one too many drinks. Maybe we’ve even done some things we’re not proud of, either. This person was enjoying the St. Patrick’s Day parade when they felt the urge to jump on a parked car. Guess what happened next?

Going off to college is one of the most important and life-changing transitions for any young person to experience. There are a world of adjustments that happen during this transformative time and it typically includes being away from your parents for quite some time. Aside from the daily college stressors, Ellie had two unlucky complications on top of that.

It’s a common fact that the chances of winning the lottery are extremely low, yet we’ve all bought a ticket at least once. Imagine the endorphin rush of checking your numbers on the morning after the drawing and found out that you’ve won. You may make a ton of impulse decisions on the spot. But, before doing anything, make sure you check something first…

For any of us who have been to a haunted house, we all are familiar with the wild experience. You simply walk through the house while any scary thing pops out at you and try to make you frightened. There are many haunted house aficionados who love being spooked and find delight in it. However, the last thing you would want to happen is falling down in one.

Seagulls are funny creatures. They are usually spotted hanging out at beaches and it’s not an uncommon sight to witness dive-bombing seagulls trying to get some food from people. It’s not a surprise that they might drop something during their ravenous escapades. In this case, Marie definitely had the surprise of her life when she felt some ham slap her face. 

It’s no secret that relationships are complicated and take a lot of work. This woman learned the hard way when she was only 15 years old. After suffering from a breakup with her boyfriend, something even worse happened – he stole her bike! Obviously, that didn’t make anything better. 

Just like going away to college, getting your driver’s license is another big rite of passage for many young people. It’s only natural to be excited about getting a learner’s permit and do some practice driving with their parents until they are ready to take their driving test. Passing the driver’s test is one of the best feelings ever. Sadly, it didn’t end well for this girl. 

Ending a phone call or text with “I love you” to your significant other is definitely a habit. However, when you accidentally text your boss or coworker with that it would understandably send you into panic mode. And, unfortunately, texting just feels so much worse than on the phone. 

One of the scariest things to experience in life is a car accident. They happen so fast and you barely have time to register what’s about to happen, probably because they often occur in a split second. Nina escaped her car accident without sustaining any injuries, but it’s what happened next that made us feel terribly bad for her. 

The mom of this eight-year-old and six-year-old! It’s no surprise that moms are total superheroes and do so much more than we can ever thank them. So, when you pulled off those shenanigans when you were younger, you likely don’t recall the massive panic your mom felt. 

You may have not known that nearly one million hip and knee replacement surgeries happen every year in the United States. Who had any idea that so many people have such bad knees and hips? This unlucky person was graced with such bad luck that when she finally had knee surgery, she dislocated her quad right after. Jeez!

People who have strong body odors are hard to stand. Some medical conditions, genetics, being overweight, and consuming certain foods, can all contribute to having an unpleasant smell. 

Mr. Fallon himself posted a #MyBadLuck situation just as his fans did. Yes, even celebrities get bad luck! Jimmy was probably very excited about the ‘90s Woodstock concert only to have an unlucky encounter with a bee. Beestings are not fun, especially when you’re at a legendary concert such as that one.

We’d be surprised if nobody has sent an accidental or embarrassing text before. While technology is our greatest friend and ally, it’s also our greatest enemy. This is definitely true after an 11-hour workday. You grab your phone, type your quick text, hit send, and then go to bed. That’s when you have an “oh no” moment. 

Feeling many different emotions before your first day at a new job is completely normal. Perhaps, you get up really early and think about how the day is going to pan out. Stephanie probably had no idea her day was going to end up this way! Imagine just sitting in your car trying to calm your nerves when, suddenly, a monster truck drives onto the front of your car. What the heck?

Poor Kelly! She got herself into quite a pickle when she was pulled over by a police officer and had to complete a routine sobriety test. She didn’t seem too concerned since she was sober, but it was her prescription medication that made her fail two sobriety tests. Hopefully, she got everything sorted out with the officer. 

In the best interest of their children, moms enforce many rules. They probably don’t intend to come off sounding mean or controlling because the rules are for the well-being and safety of the kids. As Beth was learning how to drive, her mom had some strict guidelines that she needed to follow; one of them was never to talk on the phone while driving.
