You know when you're having a bad day and...

everyone gets them, (i think :stuck_out_tongue: ) when you’re feeling crap and everything just goes wrong thorughout the whole day and then somethings happens at the end of the day really crap just to top it all off,

today was my crap day/sy and here’s what happened:

i’ve had a flu/cold bug thing for the last couple of days and it started the day before my AS Level english language exam so instead of last minute day before revsion i was mostly sleeping and feeling really sick, then on day of exam i had to dose up on parcecetomol and got thorugh it. and it’s been bucketing down with rain for past couple of days and I woke up this morning, felt a bit better and thought i know what i’ll go for a uni, then my dad says i’m off to work don’t go out because some people are coming round to collect an important parcel, great and then it starts chucking t down with rain so juggling clubs in the garden is out of the question. In the meanwhile i have my AS level english literature exam friday morning so supposed to be revising but trying to master mills mess is so much more inviting.
the real thing that made today crap (and actually afterwards i realised it was rather amusing) was that i was feeling really down with having a cold and on the verge of getting upset and mum left the cpbaord door open in the kitchen and i was blowing my nose and walking and i walked into the cupboard door and smacked my head. that was the final straw i burst into tears abandoned revision and went upstairs to practice mills mess.

i guess this wasn’t a really really bad day it could have been worse but i felt like complaining :stuck_out_tongue:

anyone else had a crap day they’d like to share?

Well Tree potato,
I had a great day. Just got back from a 9 mile coker ride in the sun.:smiley:

I have had some really crappy days in the past. I had one memorably crappy week. I can’t even mention on this family-oriented forum everything that went on, but it included these plus a horrible something else :thinking: :angry:

Dad’s lymphoma diagnosis:(
Diagnosis of cancer in me:( (eventually found it was a mis-diagnosis:D
My mom had back surgery:(
Child custody hearings :angry: :slight_smile:

You know, I thought that week was the end of me! But I survived and I am definitely stronger for it!:stuck_out_tongue:

You’ll manage and sharing with friends is a great way to get past it! thanks for posting.

I hope you all appreciate my careful and articulate use of emoticons.

Well thanks!

I think TreePotato is going to pull through this A-okay.

check your pms blake in a minute.

I remember my worst day like it was yesterday.
T’was the day of my Technical Drawing A-level exam.
Driving to school in my Morris Minor, not really concentrating on the road.
Over the brow of a hill and straight into the rear of a stopped car at a set of temporary traffic lights.
Screech - Crash
Oddly enough, through some quirk of nature, I ended up alongside and facing the car which I’d just rammed.
How odd.
The chap was very nice about it.
We exchanged details and I went about my slightly shaken way.
When I got to school, I thought I’d walk a lap of the grounds to clear my head and calm down.
Hokay.
As I was walking this calming lap, I went past the gym, where my exam was due to be held.
I looked inside and saw lots of pupils industriously scribbling away.
Some familiar faces too.
Hang on…

Those people are in my class!
That means…
I should be in there!

I remember very distinctly the whole gym collectively turning their heads to look at me and ask “What’s he doing out there?” when at the same time I was thinking “What are they all doing in there?”

Turns out I’d gotten the exam time wrong by an hour.
Doh.

The teachers were very good about it, and let me stay on an extra hour to complete the paper.
One of my more surreal days though.

Don’t fret Treepotato.
I’m sure there are stranger days to come. :slight_smile:

(I managed to fix the Morris Minor by the way, with some TLC and a lump hammer).

oh podzol. sorry to hear your news

you defianlty make my day look like i’m just being a wimp, hope all goes ok for you

What a marvellous sentence!

Jonny,

Be careful how you use, or in this case don’t use, punctuation.

Bad days make the good days look better.

I’m in a mood today.
No particular reason, I’m just walking around like a thundercloud, smiling at people.
Grrr.

How’s Mills Mess coming along?

Chosen’s post is fine for punctuation, although it could do with some capitals. Or do capitals count as punctuation?

Anyway, given that this thread is about bad days it’s kind of appropriate:p

You must be a very pleasant person if you smile at people when you’re in a mood! In the same situation I would have a fixed scowl, like this :angry:

Does an apostrophe count as punctuation?

Of course, but chosen didn’t need to use one.

Edit: Okay it seems that he could have, but only because he didn’t capitalise ‘PMs’. Which is why I said about capitals.

Some reading.

Yoopers, maybe pms is unique to this side of the pond. :roll_eyes:

I see what you mean. You are correct of course. The pm in use wasn’t possessive at all, but it probably needed to be capalized. It also could possibly have used some periods after the initials.

Either way, it struck me as funny.
