25 Unlucky People Share Their Unfortunes on the Internet

Sometimes no matter how hard we try, luck just doesn’t seem to be in our side. At some point in our lives, we’re just a bunch of unlucky people. If you belong in this group, no worries – you are not alone. There’s an endless archive in r/FacePalm subreddit, where people shared their unfortunate, embarrassing and pitiful moments.

We often tend to divide people as lucky or unlucky, but according to Neil Farber, a certified life coach and hypnotherapist, the so-called “lucky” people differ from the unlucky ones not because we were born different, but because we put different amounts of work into what we are trying to achieve.
