  • A man was left with a ridiculous hairstyle after his clippers died mid haircut  
  • News reader in an awkward position when his cats started ‘grooming’ on video 

People around the world are making the most of their time in quarantine but it’s certainly not been smooth-sailing for everyone. 

While some have been getting fit and boasting about their baking skills, others have been faced with misbehaving cats, faulty clippers and dodgy DIY disasters. 

In a gallery collated to BoredPanda, one woman attempted to cut a cat flap into her front door – only to realise it was the wrong way around.

Meanwhile a man was left in an awkward position after his cat decided to engage in an ‘intimate’ grooming session while he was live on TV. 

And another was left with a less than desirable hairstyle after his clippers gave up halfway through his haircut.
