Just one of those days...

[scheherazade_79]

I'm curious. Does anybody else get the occasional day when everything that can go wrong does go wrong?

I'm not talking one or two disasters here - what I'm talking about a kind of inverted Midas Touch, where everything that comes into contact with you either smashes, blows up, breaks down, or just falls apart.

Since getting up this morning, the following has happened to me:

1. I discovered that I'd lost my purse with all my credit cards.

2. When I got into the car to drive to the supermarket to see if I'd left it there, my car door wouldn't shut. Frustrated, I slammed and slammed and slammed... until the rubber draught-excluder fell off, and now I have to drive to the sound (and feel) of a howling gale.

3. On my way home (and no, my purse hadn't been handed in) I ran out of petrol and had to phone my parents to come and bail me out with a jerry can.

4. I locked my keys in the car.

5. I smashed an expensive vase at my parents' house on my way in.

6. I dropped my new mobile phone and managed to crack the display.

7. I turned on the heater in my room, and it knocked out the power throughout the house.


It's three o'clock and I haven't had lunch yet. I had to cancel my cards and have no money to buy any fast food, and I'm too scared to cook. With sharp knives and a gas stove, the potential for disaster is infinite. Today is reminding me a little of the movie, "Final Destination"...

Anyone else get days like that, or is it just me?

Not to make you feel worse, but I don't think I've ever had a day that bad.

My advice, lock yourself in your room with a book for the rest of the day. But don't touch any light swiches or anything. Better safe than sorry.

And for Gods sake, don't drive anywhere else today.

I have had those days. Best advice is take a shot of your favorite drink, curl up under the blankets and sleep tyill tomorrow.

Thanks, folks. I think I'll just stay in bed the rest of the day. It's probably my safest option. Maybe I'm just having all the bad luck of 2005 in advance so that I can enjoy the year without having to worry about anything. At least I haven't lost my optimism

If it makes you feel better, my whole life has been like that lately...deep breaths love, deep breaths..........oh, and lots of alcohol.

Work it, sister! Put pen to paper (do NOT touch your computer!) and write about it -- with some attempt at sex at the end -- and you've an intriguing Humor & Satire submission.

(Silver linings are everywhere.)

No, I don't think I've ever had one that bad.

But I do notice that things start happening just before I come down with a cold. People seem to bump into me more, I get generally stupid, and a day or two later I get sick.

Or maybe getting sick's just a continuation of the bad luck.

In any case, try burning a candle. It's supposed to be the best way to change your luck. Just make sure you keep an eye on it. The way things are going you might just burn the house down.

Thank you everyone for the sweet advice

I've decided to venture out...

It's now 7.50ish and I've just had a phone call from a friend asking if I want to come over and watch Casualty - the British equivalent of ER... Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be an ironic little end to the day

Wish me luck, guys!

All the best, Scheh!

*HUGS* for such an awful day.
