Murphy's Law in Action: Real Stories of Days Gone Wrong

These stories show that, as they say, the worst of circumstances produce the finest stories! Enter a world were Monday mornings become adventure films and routine tasks become spectacular missions. These tales remind us that occasionally the universe has a twisted sense of humor from the teacher whose class presentation unintentionally included their personal vacation pictures (including that unfortunate karaoke night in Cancun) to the delivery driver who followed GPS straight into a lake since "the machine knows best." More importantly, though, they demonstrate how resiliency, fast thinking, and a strong laugh can transform any catastrophe into an unforgettable narrative told for decades to come.

1. His Career in Beekeeping Was Short-Lived

If you are allergic to bees, chances are you already know it and take all necessary precautions to prevent outside stinging by a bee. Should you get stung, you most likely also have something to ensure everything will be well. Sadly, this young man was not so ready. On the other hand, he was stung and subsequently left in this challenging and agonizing condition. Though that is not at all the case, he nearly seems to have lip injections. Though the appearance is similar, the agony is not exactly the same; the bee stung with an allergy is most likely harsher. Imagine waking up one day feeling adventurous and choosing to give beekeeping some of your attention. You bought a nice white suit, watched a few videos, and feel ready to negotiate the humming world of honey production. Our poor pal had no idea his body had other ideas. Feeling like a seasoned professional, he headed into the hive and one focused bee discovered a small hole in his protective gear. It follows: One face that would make even the most dramatic reality TV star envious. He looked like a human-fish hybrid with his lips swelling to comical dimensions. His friends laughed between worried looks, not realizing the irony of his "bee-stung" lips being really bee-stung. His developing career in beekeeping came to an abrupt halt, naturally replaced by a fresh respect for EpiPens and a promise to keep to honey from the supermarket.
