Scientist Stephen Hawking once held a curious experiment. He organized a party with food, drinks, and balloons but only sent the invitations after it was over. Nobody came, and he used that as proof that time travel doesn’t exist.

NASA, however, says time travel is possible, just not in the way we imagine from books or movies. And that’s good news, because some people would give anything to rewind and start their terrible day over.

One person spent ten hours in a wet boot with a hole in it. Another thought stick sunscreen would work, only to end up with a ridiculous tan pattern. Someone finally got their license in the mail, only to be horrified by the photo. A bride-to-be shattered her toilet lid while waiting for the bath to fill, dropping her phone into the water at the same time. A food truck owner watched his entire business burn to the ground. One man lent his brother his car, only to have it returned full of the wrong fuel.

It doesn’t stop there. A defrost setting turned a windshield into a nightmare, an air mold test revealed more than anyone wanted to know, and a casual bathroom trip at a friend’s house almost caused a heart attack. Someone’s workplace served zucchini hot dogs before a shift, while another dropped their phone only to find every photo now tinted blue. A haircut from a well-meaning wife ended in disaster, a supposed “cheeseburger” arrived without cheese, and a wasp sting to the eye at 2 a.m. ruined one man’s sleep.

Even small mistakes piled up: a tuna can dropped in the sink, car keys left outside the locked vehicle, and a dream tour of the UK with a broken foot. Add to that an unexpected pothole, a pizza order gone wrong, and sunburnt feet from forgotten sunscreen, and you get the kind of days people wish they could erase.

For all of them, a time machine would be more than just science fiction — it would be the ultimate do-over.
