A bad day that’s coming your way doesn’t care that it’s Halloween. Unfortunately, even when you’re in the spookiest of spirits, food poisoning or costume mishaps aren’t doing a rain check on you. Quite the opposite, actually — they’re going to hit you harder, making Halloween haunted in a completely new sense.
Our We team gathered many such instances below, in the spirit of the spookiest day of the year. It’s all just a scroll away!
But be warned — bad luck might be contagious. *Insert evil witch giggle here.*

#53 Manager Ignoring My Time Off Request That Was Approved
Over two months ago I requested time off for Halloween and it was approved the next day. Then earlier today next week’s schedule came out and I’m scheduled on Halloween.
