Not so devastating things that devastated you

You know the stupid things like "I was devesated I broke my favourite mug" or "I was devastated I just got out of the shower and had the shìts

CaptainInsano

When people make quirky threads to seem quirky.

FortySeven

Misspelling of popular catchyphrases instead of being original.

Parachutes

For me it's when I'm looking forward to some outing or event and someone cancels, even if it's maybe just one person. Kind of ruins the whole thing for me.

I used to be mad for Monster Munch. Proper 1990's Monster Munch....real bad for ya, not todays version of it.

Anyway, I was eating a packet of them and I pulled out the reddest one I have ever seen. It was like Satans asshole got 50 whacks of a cactus it was that red.

I held it up for all to admire then my "friend" knocked it out of my hand and stamped it into dust in front of me.

Jealous cnut. Im still not over it. That guys is a prick assed motherfcuker too. Ginger bastard. What a cnut.

Youve never dropped a malteaser in the shower and smushed it down the plug hole with your big toe?

How civilised of you.

Thought I had a check mate. Made the move. Wasn't check mate. Lost the game 5 moves later.

Leeds Utd. losing to Bayern Munich in the 1975 European cup final.

Final proof that life was unfair and I more or less lost interest in soccerball after that.

Four Phucs Ache

Mc Donald's don't do full fat milk anymore, only crappy sachets of skimmed milk.

Ruined my daily americano.

The time I ate the last bit of a really fecking nice baked potato without realising it was the last bit.

Could you not play them via dosbox or in compatibility mode (or even in the XP virtual machine)

A couple of year back my ma made me a big Christmas cake, she does it every year - I'm the only one who eats it in my house and it's quite simply the only thing that gets me through some years.
Anyway a couple of years back I come home from work, open the press and fully 3/4 of the cake is gone - I immediately suspect foul play and summon the missus for an explanation.
Apparently - her frail old aunt called up and was bemoaning the fact she couldn't make cakes this year cos she was "too sick" (code word for lazy if ever I heard it) so missus fúcking clause doles out 3/4's of mine so great aunt coffin dodger can give it out to some old fúckers or other - I swear i'll never fully get over it.:mad::mad:

It works really really well. Had a 4 player game with a few mates a couple of weeks ago, really is incredible fun.

eviltwin

When a good mate emigrated. He's only in Scotland so we see him a lot but we miss him on a night out. It's not been the same since he left.

RayM

Just went to take a nice gulp of coffee, but the mug was already empty.

I've had enough of this shit. Fucking sick of it.

Cazale

Had an operation and when I got home I had a craving for KFC so I sent the missus off to get me a big bucket of chicken. She comes back with three sides of baked beans and no chicken gravy. Nearly finished her over it.

Boom_Bap

Tried the Spar brand Mince Pies.

1994: Michael Schumacher knocks Damon Hill out of the final F1 race of the season in Adelaide. If Damon had won the race he would have been World champion instead.

Nothing worse that stepping into the shower and just as the very last piece of you gets wet under the lovely warm water, your stomach decides it needs to evacuate and fast.

There isn't much that feels more degrading than taking a pony while soaking wet. It just feels so wrong.

When my favourite music tracker shut down a few weeks ago. I'm still not right.

The dog knocked over my nice cold can of white Monster drink.
This was yesterday. Life is not fair. I had pad the full whack, a shocking two euro thirty five cent to buy it out of Spar.
Or when you drop a joint in the bath.

When a supermarket stops stocking a certain product you like

They did, the following season.

When Dominoes stopped selling Chicken Dunkers. I used to order pizza as a side order for my dunkers.

I very nearly wrote them a sternly worded letter. Luckily enough I was too lazy.

Badly Drunk Boy

The other day in work, I was going to have soup for my lunch but noticed that there was vegetable curry on offer. Nice one!! It wasn't until I was walking down to my table that I realised that my curry was hosting a convention for the most reprehensible vegetable-type things known to man or woman. Peas, sweetcorn and mushrooms! The evil triumvirate!!!

I was devastated!! (I may have used the term "Worse than the Holocaust!")

I've already seen one post on this thread about something that devastated you as a kid,

My one: falling and cutting - well grazing myself when I was 7.

Little dramatic scr0t I was.

When you complete the wipe and then have another minor movement.

Although not as severe as whiskeyman or Boom Bap, when you fart after wiping / flushing/ already used the air freshner.

It's the sole of your foot you use and it's called a waffle-stomp.

Its all alt right

In a public jacks, direct splash back up like that pilot in Armageddon. Had to wait around to gather enough again to do a run through and clear the area

Wiping your arse is serious business.
