Life is hard, there is no doubt about that, but even then the universe is generous enough to grant each individual their own unique set of challenges, some laughable and others pretty serious. Nevertheless how we choose to deal with our setbacks often translates to our general day to day mood; it makes us either smile or get upset. The individuals in our compilation weren't very lucky; Stolen pizza, a failed attempt to ask a girl out, are some examples of the bad luck they had put up with. However, their outstanding sense of humor saved the situation and even changed the situation entirely.

Check out these individuals who had a bad day but ended up turning the tables and in the end even laughing at themselves. Maybe they'll make you smile too.
