Have you ever heard of such bad luck

Stabshauptmann

This is just balls!

A few of my class mates talked me into going to bondi the other night for a beach party thing. The night was going great till it came time to leave. I went to get my runners (had taken them off to go in pool and never put them back on) but could only find one!
I went to enlist a friends help in finding the other when all of a sudden the left lense fell out of my glasses. After much searching I found the lense and put it in my wallet. I put the glases in my other pocket. But when I went to get them later outside I couldnt find them :eek:
So I hop in the taxi fairly pissed off and Im in such a mood that I end up forgetting to take my one remaining runner with me when I got out.

God that just sucked!

The next morning (after staying in a friends appartment on campus) I went down to the gym to change into normal clothes Id had on me the day before. My lock had been removed and my stuff nowhere to be seen. Just imagine how I felt.
The good ppl at crunch had however held onto my stuff and for that Im gratefull even if I did have to buy a new lock.

I headed down to bondi but alas, no shoes or glasses found.

So Im out a pair of glasses and a pair of runners, and strangely enough Id lost the left half of each pair before losing the other half.

Im really devasted, what was already an expensive night (had to buy rediculous clothes to begin with) ended up totally crippling my finances

So you are now looking for a half blind one legged man who's in cahoots with a half blind one legged chick? Bondi attracts the strangest of people!
When they are building this new apartment complex etc where are the bondi crowd going to go?

Drink had nothing to do with it actually, I had only 4 drinks in the night and all this happened several hours after the last one.

Sorry to go off topic, I've never been to bondi. Is that the night-club in Stillorgan? Does it have a pool? A swimming pool? :eek:

Last year I lost €500 from my pocket. I never found it. That was probably some worse luck. :mad:

if you want some perspective, my aunt lost one of her twin sons in a stabbing incident, and the other to aids, then her husband to cancer in the space of 5 years.

and she doesn't even wear glasses.

oh, then there was the 250,000 people killed in a massive tidal wave the day after xmas. that was some pretty bad luck.

ffs get a grip. if that's all you have to worry about then you're laughing.

give him a break. Are you saying if you lost you're glasses and shoes that you wouldn't be at all peeved?! He was only talking about bad luck, not a catastrophe :rolleyes:

vibe666

yeah I'd be peeved, but it sounded like he needed a little perspective.

people spend so much time bitching and moaning about how hard they have it, and 99% of the time they have no idea.

'oh no, I lost a shoe and my glasses!'

'oh no, I stepped on a landmine and lost a leg and my eyesight.'

perspective.

Is this a night club where you go around in swimsuits then?
Is a swimming pool not a little dangerous given that a lot of the users will be hammered drunk? And filthy for that matter? Is it where glanalbin (I think that's what it was called) used to be? I learned to swim in that pool.
I was going to say something like vibe666 did, but he already has.
What sort of crowd does a place like that attract then? A poseurific one? Or an all 17-19 year-old kind of thing?

Well by that rationel the people who lose eyesight and a leg dont know theyre born and should stop complaining cos others who step on a landmine and die.

So in conclusion the only person who is allowed to complain is the person who suffers the worst imaginable fate, and even then its only till someone else has a worse experience.

The thread is a little melodramatic. The title is: "Have you ever heard of such bad luck" Vibe replies yes, in fact s/he's heard of even worse stories! :O
Your defence would only work if the title was something like "I just had a really annoying night", and the content didn't have words like "devastated" in it.
The dramatisation of the post is going to annoy some people.

not even remotely. you really have no idea do you?

there are millions of people suffering through hardships every single day that just get on with it.

yet we're supposed to feel sorry for some feckless eejit who get's pissed and loses a shoe? if that was the worsed day I'd ever had I'd be feeling pretty fecking lucky, and so should he. and you. if you'd had even the vaguest notion of what I was talking about you'd never have posted such a stupid comment trying to be a clever arse.

Guy:Incognito

Not trying to be smart just putting forward the point that everyone is enetitled to complain and dont need you belittling there hardship, however small it is. So then if your the authority on the subject, at what point are we allowed to vent our grievances in your presence? Here was me thinking this was a board for exactly what the op was doing.

vibe666

I'd say the point where someone has some genuine hardship would be as good a place as any to start. and that's certainly quite a way past what this guy has 'endured'. :rolleyes:
