17 Funny Instances of People Being in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

As the saying goes, so much of life is about being in the right place at the right time. But realistically, much more of it is about the exact opposite. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is the bread and butter of pretty much every bizarre experience you’ve ever had in your stupid little life. Honestly, most awkward situations are about the cosmic alignment of bad luck and incredibly poor timing. For instance: If one unlucky Redditor hadn’t gotten out of school early, they never would’ve seen their parents in an… uncompromising position. The single silver lining is that they got a funny story out of it, but at what cost? 

To that end, these Redditors have certainly paid a premium for the following experiences, and while they likely still have nightmares about what they’ve seen, it was definitely worth it for the rest of us. To the man who walked in on someone stealing 100 meatballs: Thank you for your service.
