you wake up, the sun is warm, the sky is blue, the birds are singing.... and suddenly one event comes and ruins everything! :(

for example. breakfast. you are happy covering a toast with butter or jam. and it suddenly slips from your hand and lands in your pants or shirt (obviously) with the side of the jam down! :nonono:

you take your cup of coffee and your finger gets trapped in the handle. you try to get out of there but you can´t do it gently. so you start to freak out until all the hot coffee drops on you and you get a 2nd grade burn! :skeptic:

you go to school/work and you´re late because of the previous. so you run to catch the bus. you get to the corner and there it goes. forget it, you´re late! :shrug:

suddenly a second bus appears, so you think you haven´t been so unlucky after all. you cross the street to catch it and at the moment you´re going on the bus you stumble and clean the street with your face. :blackeye:

those are real stories that happened to real people i know. :eek3:

what could transform MY day? obviously, anything of that. but especially the small things. sometimes objects falls from my hands.... one, two, three times in a row! that could freak me out. usually i kick the object into the wall to express my angry. another thing could be when i drop a bottle of anything on the table. i get so mad that my only reaction is to watch the liquid fall from its recipient as i scream "you want to spill? then spill!" :mad2:

so, tell us. in your case what things turn a great day into a shite day? :brow:

Getting up in the morning. London blunderground. Getting to work. Working. London blunderground. Shite TV. Realising the whole thing is stuck in a loop and I haven't got access to the control panel.

Getting home from work, believing you have beer in the fridge. Opening the door and realising you haven't. Then having to pop out to get some, and stick em in the freezer to chill em down. :uhoh:

Going to work usually ruins a perfectly good day for me.

Well, waking up and have my mother talking to me like a radio usually get me nuts. Or when a neighbor wakes me up with a hammer or any machine he is using to make arrangements in his house. And I hate waking up early (and with the clock counting)to meet someone and be called out just after I got a shower...

Yesterday, I went to relieve myself and thought, apart from a harmless piffle, that I was done. No sooner did I leave the men's room as I noticed a large wet stain right in my crotch area :nervous: I was wearing khakis, which are notoriously bad for not drying quick enough, so I had to grab a little "school schedule" note that's always lying around on tables in various parts of the college to cover me until I could get to the nearest mens room (the very same I had just left and was on my way to the lunch room when I noticed the stain) and dry and force it dry with toilet paper. :nonono:

Needless to say, I won't be wearing khakis anytime soon :D

A speeding ticket.

A trip to the dentist for a simple filling (not even cavity related!). After eleven, that's right, ELEVEN!!! shots of laticane, my tooth still wasn't numb enough on which to drill. So, the denstist filled the depression with whatever epoxy type stuff they use. Why didn't he do that in the first place???

Realizing after it's too late that the milk you just poured over your last serving of Honey Nut Cheerios is spoiled.

Realising you only have enough milk for coffee after pouring your cereal into the bowl in the morning...

Or even worse realising you have got NO MILK at at all after already mixing your coffee and sugar in preparation for your morning coffee and facing the daunting prospect of turbocharged coffee at an ungodly hour of the morning :eek:

Waking up to take a shower, only, after five minutes, to get blasted with a shot of freezing cold water. Or, to look in my fridge, only to find there's only mac and cheese and soup left. Or, my mother calls unexpectedly to ask about how the weather is in Boston. Or, I go to class, only to find I didn't do the reading for the night before and the instructor asks me first, of all people, some question or another.

CC seems hellbent on reminding us just how bad the Eighties were for cinematic comedy (any "Revenge of the Nerd" movie past the first one, Tom Hanks before he became "Tom Hanks", etc). I miss the Daily Show and South Park, but I don't miss repeat showings of "The Money Pit" :nonono:

Bolton's ticket office can seriously damage your health. Didn't someone get stabbed in the queue for Worthington Final tickets?

Realizing your car is slowly deteriorating (loosing antifreeze, door and lock mechanisms freezing and some deciding to never work again, new brake pads and rotors needed, rust reappearing)...gotta love 2 months of temperatures below 30.

And needing to go to relatives cuz you're dirt fucking poor. :angry:

Waking up in my nice warm apartment (about 80F, the way I like it), getting dressed in normal clothes, and then stepping outside to discover it's -25F with the wind chill. Going back inside, putting on three more layers of clothes, a giant down jacket, two pairs of gloves, three pairs of socks, two hats, two hoods, and a scarf, and *still* freezing my butt off while waiting for the train...

As a side note, I am currently taking suggestions as to where I should move after I get out of school... My only requirement is "warmer than Boston..." :)

As it happens, I should have done. I have stubbs from the european tie against Steua Bucharest. LFC are selling the next two rounds together. You needs stubbs to apply. After spending most of the day just trying to get through on the phone lines for the Steau game I got through, waited in the queue for 40 minutes, got to position no.1, waited for about 8 minutes and was then cut off. So I bought some of someone who was selling some he'd bought on-line. I went to the ticket office this dinner time only to be told, I can't buy tickets at the ticket office with stubbs purchased online. I have to apply on-line, or wait until they go on general sale.

I always had admiration for the way Liverpool played the game, and 4 european cups rubs Man U fans up the wrong way.

I'd like to see em up there again, but something is missing

I'd give...well, something of great value to have a day like that.

But on whe whole, sounds like Groundhog Day...
