Bad day at the office? Warehouse collapses after hapless forklift driver cashes into unit

THIS IS the moment one unfortunate warehouse worker's day went from bad to worse.

The bad came when the worker bumped into a shelving unit while attempting to manoeuvre his way around in a forklift.

The worse came seconds later when the entire contents of the warehouse collapsed around him, burying him in the process and leaving one almighty mess behind.

All of which was further compounded by the fact that CCTV managed to capture the entire sorry affair for Facebook users everywhere to enjoy.

Captured in an unnamed distribution centre, the clip has been garnering lots of attention on social media.

It starts innocently enough, with the driver involved slowly making his way down the aisle at normal speed.

Surrounded by boxes on either side, the unfortunate forklift operator's problems begin when he gently bumps into a stack on the right-hand side of the screen.

That's enough to send an entire shelf tumbling - but it's only the beginning.

That fall creates a domino effect that sees the forklift pushed forward - and straight into the shelving unit opposite.

Soon those boxes and shelves begin to tumble to the ground and, before you know it, the entire warehouse, shelves and all, are giving way.

By the end, the luckless soul involved is no longer visible, buried under the rubble left by the four, giant, collapsed shelving units.

Though some of the shelves do escape unscathed, the fate of the forklift driver is unclear, as he's not visible by the end of the clip.

One thing is definite: however bad a day you may have had at work, it's nothing on this guy.

Did he manage to escape and somehow clear up the crazy mess he made? You wouldn't put money on it, given how unfortunate he was the first time around.

And who's to say if, even after cleaning it all up, he didn't end up knocking it all over again?
