withdrawing cash and having the receipt tell you that your checking account balance is $175 less than your check book says it is.

having a prospective landlord tell you that she lovingly accepts dogs…then calling the next day to find out she’s changed her policy regarding said dog without ever having laid eyes on said dog.

Thinking you’re having a relatively ‘thin’ day, and then getting on the scale at the gym after some f-ing nymph and having the whole thing tip to the right.

- when simple things become difficult. I.E. Getting a cup of coffee. Grab mug, it slips from fingers and shatters on floor. You sweep it up and bump you head on the counter while trying to stand up. 50% of the dustpan contents miss the garbage and you clean that up. You grab mug #2. pour in coffee, naturally spilling it all over the counter. You clean up coffee, for some reason thinking that you won’t spill milk on counter. Get milk out of fridge, not noticing it expired, pour in coffee and on counter. Clean up milk, not thinking you are going to spill sugar on counter. Get sugar (naturally sugar bowl is out) so you fill it, spilling sugar all the way. Clean up sugar. Put everything away, take sip of coffee only to discover the milk is sour and you have to dump out cup and start over.
Having the power go out and losing everything while you are in the middle of writing a post to this very thread!! :mad:
Florida Power & Light, may I continue? Thank you.

Also, forgetting to close italicising brackets properly, that’s another one.
Driving in rush hour traffic, coming up on a yellow light. “Come on, come on, I can make it through.”…FLASH. Fuck!
I’m now resigned to the inevitable love note coming in the mail from the State of Maryland traffic enforcement. I just hope they got the guy who came across behind me too.
-Finding out that the jury of 12 is made up completely of your 12 ex girlfriends (thanks Kids In the Hall for making a skit outta that one )
-Seeing you car go kaput and knowing the fix is gonna be something stupid “it was this dime sized piece of plastic that broke and shut down your car. It will only cost you 400 something dollars for it”
-See Steven Seagal get yet another person to fund his latest crap fest in Hollywood.
-Smashing your finger
-Smashing your finger while watching another Steven Seagal flick
-Being excited to wear that new shirt, pulling shirt over
your head only to get make-up or deoderant all over it.
-Realizing it once you get to work/school.
-HAVING to stop and get gas when you are already late.
-Realizing this is a bad day to stop smoking.
-Gas station is out of your brand AND the brand you always resort to if they are out of your original brand. (Probably a blessing)
Thinking that the ice on the road is gone so you take your motorcycle to work only to find out it’s not all gone.
Duck-hooking a drive during what had been to that point a nice round of golf, then hearing the sound of shattering glass followed by the sound of a car alarm.
3 weeks after the layoffs and still not recovered, learning which of your valued coworkers is voluntarily leaving in the aftermath.
Having a dream in which your best friend is trying to eat your favorite kitty alive, and whacks said kitty with a hammer when she fights back, while you’re stuck arguing with your ex about whose fault it is that the cat got out. (Just a dream, folks, but still.)

Being told that work is so bad that I may not have a job after this month.
Being told “This is just friends, right?” when asking a girl out. (this happens to me EVERY SINGLE TIME I ask a girl out)
Realising that I have never been truly happy.
-Doing a drama presentation about hating love and how much it hurts with ex boyfriend in the room.
-
Having said ex-boyfriend smile at the most painful part of said presentation.
-
Crying over the ex-boyfriend that you thought you had gotten over… I guess not.
-Calling a friend, bawling over said ex-boyfriend and said friend having to go after just a few minutes.
- Crying all by myself
-Realizing that I have a whole lot of hoework due tomorrow in a class I’m not doing well in… oh sh**!

Discovering that the girl you were going to go out with that night didn’t show up at the rendezvous point.
Discovering that the reason she didn’t show up was because she’d been in hospital for the last couple of days.
And what also doesn’t help is calling her to find out what happened, and she gets angry at you for waking her up as she’s in heavy recovery mode.
Today, may I say, was a shitty day.
Okay, today sucked bollocks for me:
-
Sitting in a puddle of rain and getting my ass all wet while the most cutest guy I have a crush on is sitting behind me and his friends are all laughing at me.
-
It’s raining, it’s pouring and my shoes are all squelching because some butthole splashed water all over me.
-
Some preppy ho yelling out that I look like a boy because I have short spiky hair and was wearing a boy’s shirt.
-
No one in class wanting to sit next to me because I’m weird-looking or whatever.
-
Going to retail therapy and feeling guilty because I spent all my money on clothes and stuff when I needed it for school books…but dammit, school can wait, I wanted a Powerpuff Girls watch!
-
Every person and their dog staring at me in the street and at school and everywhere else.
-
People at school whispering and gossiping about me as I walk past.
I could go on.
Watching an especially gripping Buffy episode, which finishes with ‘to be continued…’ and then the TV announcer cheerfully says 'And due to the snooker coverage, you can see the conclusion in three weeks…'
