Everyone is susceptible to disaster. It's strange how a few tiny misfortunes may spoil our entire day.

Whether it's the little things that go wrong the moment you get out of bed or insensitive statements that throw you into a tailspin, we can go from blissfully joyful to plain miserable in a matter of seconds.

It's all too easy to become annoyed and self-pitying. Seemingly insignificant events may instantly ruin your day; you may become irritable and even bring down those around you.

It turns out that terrible experiences stick with us because we are more likely to ruminate on what went wrong.

That is exactly the mood here.

9. That was very unfortunate. Damn these photographers and their 'look at the camera.' Look in front of you when you are walking down the stairs, people! Don't listen to them!

That timing could not have been worse.

Because of our negativity bias, our inclination to give more weight to negative events than to positive or neutral ones, we keep allowing pessimistic notions in. From prehistoric jellyfish to modern humans, the nervous system has been constantly evolving.

Many times a day, our ancestors had to choose between approaching a prize and avoiding a hazard. To survive and escape any risks, they had to conceal themselves from predators.

While both are vital, there is a significant distinction between them. If you don't get enough nourishment one day, you'll have a better chance the following.

However, if you fail to escape a hazard, you will no longer be able to pass your genes on to the next generation. As a result, we react more strongly to negative stimuli than to equally strong positive stimuli.

We bet you feel better now :)

Somehow, that makes these fails even funnier.
