Who had a really bad day besides me? *PRIZE AWARDED TO WORST DAY*

[mztykal]

Okay, so as the title said, post the bad day you had today only *October 25th 2001* since my time is Hawaii time, that would make it, post the bad day you had yesterday for everyone else. Whoever posts the worst REAL day, will win a brand new copy of "Totally Unreal", it's still sealed or a copy of "Worlds Scariest Police Chases" for Playstation, your choice.

Here's the day I had...

Came home at 4:00am this morning, went to sleep, so far so good. Wake up around 12:00pm when my girlfriend came over. We watched tv and just cruised. Still everything is going great. I was thinking I'd have a really good day today since tomorrow (October 26th 2001) is our 1 year anniversary. But no, around 3:00pm she starts to get "moody" and starts b*tching at me for no reason. If you really must know, she was mad that some girl I don't know IM'd me AsianAvenue and I replied. Wow, big fvcking deal right? But not to her. She's all mad about that. And then later on she's telling me she doesn't think anyone thinks she's cute. So I tell her, she's beautiful, and that she's the only one who doesn't notice it. She keeps telling me she isn't, at this point I'm getting a little irritated by the complete lack of self esteem. I finally told her, what happened when she walked home from college a month ago, she goes, guy were's honking their horns and whistling and some guy in a van smiled at her and went "mmmmm". And I go, see, people do think you're cute. She goes no they're not, they were being polite. At this point I'm even more irritated by the utter lack of inteligence she's showing. I mean I've been more than fair, I've done nothing but stroke her ego all day cus she was downing and then she gets mad at me for yelling, damn, why can't you see you're beautiful, everyone else does. Is it so much for me to ask for you to realize you're gorgeus and stop saying that you're ugly. She gets really pissed off at my comment and storms out of my house. I chase after her, and tell her fine, you wanna leave, you can leave. She comes back into the house and scowls at me and sits on my bed. It's now 5:45pm and I have to go to work, I get ready, and I head out the door, she continues to ignore me completely. So I say fine, I walk to my car and she gets into hers, she then floors it out of my neighborhood going around 35 in a 15mph street. So I get to work, clock in and I'm having a good day at work, that is until closing. I work as a driver at Pizza Hut, and we count out our money at the end of the night and collect our tips. Well I had a lot of deliveries, but only ended up with $17.00. I go back and check my tickets and notice that I have one short. I never took that delivery and I never collected money for it, that's why my tips were so little. I then remember a co-worker that left earlier had that delivery and had a ticket for it and said it was his extra run. So I know he took the money that was supposed to be mine. So here I am with a pissed off g/f, short $20.00 that was stolen from me by a co-worker, and here's the topper. The boss tells me I have to scrub stores whole floor. So I'm like fvck, you know what, fine. I start doing it and this irritating assistant manager that was supposed to scrub the floors comes over and starts laughing, and making comments. So I b*tch at her and continue. She keeps making comments all the way till I finish. So I'm finally home and I'm all sore from scrubing floors that I wasn't supposed to do, short some cash that I could've used and on shaky terms with my girlfriend the day before our 1 year anniversary.

So how's that for a sh*tty day?!

All that blows, but go to sleep, it really will seem better in the morning...

Nothing you've said is a life changing event... My Grandmother (my last living grandparent) is going to die within a few days, she cannot eat anymore and they have her on life support... So rest assured a week from now this will be past you, her death will not...

Not saying this to belittle your day, I agree it was a bad one... Just trying to cheer you up, let you know that after tomorrow, it will be ok...

Fooze happens, live goes on...

Ok, so far you're ahead.

You're a "Diamond Member" and I haven't seen you before? I hang out in General Hardware, Fs/Ft, and Off Topic...

Sorry about your Grandma being sick and all, I know that sucks. I lost my Grandpa this year, so I know how it is. But yah, you'll get over it too.

 

[mztykal]

No one else?!

 

[jehh]

<< Ok, so far you're ahead. >>



Somehow that doesn't make me feel better about it, I'd rather be in your shoes...



<<

I'm here in OT all the time, funny you haven't seen me... Search for my posts if you want to, you'll see lots of them...

My last grandfather died in Nov 99, so about 2 years apart... both my other grandparents died about 7 years ago...

This means that my parents will now be the oldest in our family, and my mom is already planning for her death (she is 57), she wants me to know what to do if anything happens suddenly, which is fine cause I need to know, but even thinking about it isn't any fun...

A good friend of mine was told by her stepfather that he thinks it's better to break contact. She sees him as a second father, go figure how that must have felt. She was studying for an exam she was supposed to do today, so that f*cked up the studying too. She ran a guy she has a heavy crush on in the hope that could bring some comfort, to ask him why he was not reachable by phone the previous day, and to talk about the 'date' they'd have on monday. First he tells her he can't come on monday, he claims he has been on the phone for over 2 hours with someone, doesn't wanna say who or why he didn't call back afterwards (while he never is on the phone longer than like 10 minutes with anyone but her once in a while so far), and then starts talking about this girl he met at a wedding, claiming he doesn't want anything with that girl afterwards. Her brother told her he was quitting his job, his chef got mad at that and slapped him, and said he wouldn't be able to hide from him. So her brother is taking him to court, could be messy too.
She couldn't study anymore after that.

Beat that.

Can't beat you for a bad day on the 25th, but how about this week:

*Monday: my mother had a heart attack at work in the afternoon. I went up to the hospital, they didn't get her admitted until after 7, I stayed until 10, then drove home in a pouring rain, almost zero visibility fog, at night in an unfamiliar new car (I don't drive at night because I have problems with my eyes). My aunt (mother's sister) who had been undergoing treatment for lung cancer found out three hours before Mom's heart attack that her cancer was back, had spread to her spine and brain and was given 6 months to live. My son's dad left on his fourth business trip this month, so out of the 15 days he had scheduled visitation this month, he has been here for 2. My child support is also now 1 week late and I'm down to about $50 in my checking account.

*Tuesday: I had tests of my own scheduled that I couldn't put off, so I went in for a scheduled CT scan (4 huge cups of barium plus an IV drip of dye) while Mom went in for an angiogram. Her test results: had to put in 2 stents for 98% blockage in two arteries; my results: have to go to another doctor for possible polyps in my lower intestines that may involve an ileostomy at some point if they continue to bleed and are pre-cancerous.

*Wednesday: Mom still in hospital, I'm shuttling between getting my son back and forth to school and volunteering at his Halloween party - which I was up making treats for until midnight the previous night - the hospital to be with Mom and home to make and field about 100 phone calls from co-workers, friends and family. Maybe 1 hour of sleep. And I forgot to take my own high blood pressure meds and got a migraine.

*Thursday: Mom was discharged, I got a call from my hemotologist that they found Epstein-Barr in my blood tests from earlier in the week. Good night, I got about 4 hours of sleep.

*Friday: Another appointment with my hemotologist in about an hour and a half and he'll probably take another four vials of blood from me that I don't have to give. Then I have to go grocery shopping for my mom to stock her up on good, healthy stuff to eat, get back home and do the laundry and dishes that have been piling up, make both my nephew and my son's Halloween costumes all while juggling taking care of my son and my mom, who can't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk and is crying every time she gets a twinge because she thinks she's having another heart attack.

My week sucks so badly, it's almost funny this morning. Either that or I'm finally losing my mind from lack of sleep.

I don't want a prize for this. But as long as we're sharing a bad day I've got one I need to get out. It's hit me somewhat, but it's really more for my good friend who's having a HORRIBLE day. He and his wife were six months pregnant and everything seemed to be going just fine. But over the last two days she noticed the baby wasn't moving as much and eventually stopped moving at all. THey went to the doctor and he called my friend into the room by himself (before the doctor told his wife) and told him that they had lost the baby. He was naturally devastated as was his wife when she heard the news. They actually found out about this last night, but what REALLY makes it hard is she STILL had to deliver the baby. But she had to wait until this morning. I don't know how they made it through last night. That must have been absolutely gut wrenching. They had been trying to get pregnant for a long time and usually once you make it past the first 3 months or so, you're usually much more likely to not lose your baby. We let their family be with them last night, but we're going over to visit them tonight. It's going to be rough I know.

Still everything is going great. I was thinking I'd have a really good day today since tomorrow (October 26th 2001) is our 1 year anniversary. But no, around 3:00pm she starts to get "moody" and starts b*tching at me for no reason. If you really must know, she was mad that some girl I don't know IM'd me AsianAvenue and I replied.

Hmm..This sounds awfully familiar. Oh wait, are you still dating the same girl?

That might be the source of your problem.

This was recently:

I had a deal to sell my motorcycle to a guy in Florida. He wants to meet halfway so he doesn't end up driving all day (he's about 8 hrs from Atlanta). I've been trying to sell the stupid thing for over a year, so I agree to meet him. Now I have to figure out how to get the thing down there. Uhaul is wayyyy to expensive for a trip like that, so I start calling around to see if anyone has a trailer I can use and figure I'll rent a truck with a hitch for a day. A friend says that his neighbor has a trailer I can use. He also mentions that I can borrow his car (has a hitch) for the day. I try to decline, saying I don't want to put all the miles on his car, but he insists. So far so good.

The night before the day of the deal, the neighbor with the trailer backs out. I call the buyer and try to postpone the deal for a week, and he says nope and he won't do the deal if it's not tomorrow. F*ck. My friend with the car shows up the next morning and luckily there is a Uhaul place with trailers in stock right around the corner. So we get one and get it hooked up to his car and load the bike into the trailer. I'm running about 1.5 hours late at this point and the buyer is pissed, but still going to do the deal. Last thing my friend says to me before I drive off is "It's been running a little hot lately, so just keep an eye on things." Super.

So I'm driving down I-75 in the right lane (on a 90+ degree day with no A/C to boot) at 55mph and fearing for my life as trucks are just about running me off the road. I had easily a dozen near-misses in the space of a few hours. I get through Macon and the car is running OK, so I start to relax.....the car promptly overheats. :| I pull off and call friend (owner of car). He says to put some coolant in it after it cools down and keep going. I do and get about 2 miles down the road....car overheats again. Sit on side of road getting eaten alive by gnats (those of you in the south know what I'm talking about) and sweating my ass off....watching cop after cop drive by and not stop. Fill the coolant again and manage to get to the next exit....pull under a tree in front of a small gas station....car dies....will not restart. Great.

Call friend, he hops in my car and starts heading my way (about 3 hours south of ATL at this point), call the buyer and tell him where I am. He's not happy about the extra driving, but agrees to meet me. I now have 3 hours to kill sitting under this tree in the dirt, nothing to read besides my owners manual, it's about 95 degrees and the gnats are beginning to make me slightly anemic from blood loss.

Long story short: guy buys the bike, but I killed my friend's car. Now have not only a $300 tow charge to get the car home, but his car needs a new engine. I wasted this whole day in an effort to recoup my cash invested in the bike and most of it is going under the hood of the car I killed. I now refer to that day as "The Dumbest Day Ever(tm)":|:|:|

Time to take out the steel toed boot? I dated a girl like this (although not quite as bad). She was the moodiest little bitch I've ever met. One sec she'd be all nice and cuddly and sh!t, and the next there would be dust on her black pants, and she be all pissy and we'd be arguing all morning about dust and how its not my fault its on her pants. Ugh, I'm glad thats over. Dude, just think if you would be able to spend the rest of your life with a girl like this. Thats scary stuff.

I do not want a prize for this, but I think I have had the worst day ever.

12/24/2000: While opening christmas presents with my girlfriends family, I got a call at 7:30pm that my Grandmother had died. It was totally unexpected, and it hurt me very much. I had not seen her in 3-4 years, and I had been very bad in keeping in contact with her.I still feel terrible about this.

12/25/2000: 1:30am (6 hrs later) I get a call from the ambulance driver that they have pulled over to resesitate my mom, they asked me if I wanted them to try everything they could, before I could say of course she had died.

I then drove to St. Louis to be with my family and start the worst week of my life.

There that is a bad day.

 

[Robert01]

hevnsnt,

Whoa...that's all I can say.

 

[MajesticMoose]

Hey mytzkal, I think ATOT might be able to help you a bit on one of the problems with your GF. If you post pics we can all see how beautiful she is, then you show her the thread.

Just trying to do my part to help out a fellow poster

As for bad days, a friend of mine just got through a month of hell. Several of her relatives were in the WTC. They got out ok, but they're still having a lot of post tramatic stress problems. Not only did she get whored repeatedly by a guy who looks like bert, but also both her parents, two squirrels, and a duck:Q There were a bunch of other things that i forgot, but she did get past it all and is much happier now.

I am married and yesterday was my 4 year anniversary. It should have been a happy day except for the fact that around 4 weeks ago my wife told me that she couldn't see us growing old together. She said she isn't in love with me anymore and doesn't want to have children with me. We have a 2 bedroom apartment and I've been sleeping in the spare bedroom for over 3 weeks. She wants to move out, but we really don't have the money. She did however get a second job so that she can. We have gone to 2 marriage counseling sessions, but she says no amount of counseling will change how she feels.

 

[mztykal]

Anyone else for the 26th?
