Did you ever have one of those days?

OutlawPete · 02-03-2010 11:30PM #1

Today should have be great.

No work, good bit of cash in my phoca, just had to drop someone at the airport at 2.30pm, then the day was mine till 9pm (babysitting :cool:).

All went swimmingly until on my back into town when I got a puncture in Santry. No real problem with that until the damn jack snapped and had to get a taxi to a garage to borrow one.

Sitting at the lights wondering what film I should go and see later when: BAM, some woman slams into the back of me in her Micra! :mad:

Scared the **** out of me and destroyed her car. Mine was fine bar a slightly warped bumper and it was slighty funny as she had to stand in the road giving her details to the Guards dressed in a pink bathrobe and matching pajamas and slippers :pac:

So now it's 4.30pm and I need to get into town asap as I still have a gift for my nephew to get that needs to be in the post by 5.30pm :eek:

Park in Marlborough St at 4.45pm but only have enough change to pay for parking till 5.18pm, which should be all the time I need (you can see what's coming

).

So off I pop to Henry St, buy nephew his first footie kit. Hit Easons for a card and I'm in the GPO at 5.05 (all's going well) and just as I'm putting the Kit into Easons rip off boxes, I see that the bafoons in Lifestyle left the security clamp on it .... Nooooooo!!!! :eek:

It's 5.10 now and some jogging is in order to get to Lifestyle and back to make the 5.30pm post, which I just manage and then have to swallow that it'll cost €37 to send the package to Holland .. wtf :mad:

I pay it and then sprint back to Marlborough St and just as I round the corner at the Flowing Tide, I see 'Em .. I'm clamped

I decide to just go for something to eat and not even fcuking bother pleading my case, no point and so I head to Beshoffs for some Deep Fried Carbs and Sugar laden Tea.

As I go to pay ... ah noooo :eek:

I triple check all pockets and my wallet is gone!!

Just cards and €30 but not today, not ta-fcuking-day God.

I just starting laughing with defeat, the guy must have thought I was nuts, I literally couldn't stop and just went outside and looked to the sky in mercy

Phoned a mate in the end and he saved the day with a lend till I'm sorted tomorrow. We headed off to the cinema seen The Crazies .. seemed apt as I feel the day I had, has almost driven me crazy

So, have you ever had one of those days where things go wrong no matter what you do??

A day that just defeated you from start to finish despite your best efforts?

You clearly went through many emoticons today.

Chin up, at least it cant get worse. I think.

Fair play - at least you could laugh at times.

Cookie_Monster · 02-03-2010 11:40PM

Ranting & Raving is the place for today mate

OutlawPete · 02-03-2010 11:44PM

It was fine really, least I wasn't working and still got to go to the cinema

Anyone ever had mad days like that though?

Where you missed flights or crashed etc etc

Just a cascade of things not going to plan?

Yeah, what's the story, I just tried to go into Ranting and Raving and it won't let me.

Seriously, maybe I'm banned, what a day :pac:

L.Jenkins · 02-03-2010 11:46PM

Sounds like you had a really ****ty day!

BluesBerry · 02-03-2010 11:46PM

Except for a minor road rage incident earlier my day could not have been any luckier everything went right I got my parking validated for free:D, I found 20 euro at the garage:D and also putting back a trolley at the supermarket I found a euro on the ground:D,

I arrived at the doctors (no appointments queing nightmare kinda doctor) when all the 8 people in front of me wanted to see another particular doctor I had just litterly walked in the number screen buzzed and I just strolled into the doctor that nobody wanted to see without having to wait:D

I finally figured out how to stop my car beeping everytime I start it telling me it needs to be serviced Ive another 10,000 miles before I hear it again:D

I came home to a lovely dinner waiting for me only to find out I had won a hamper in a local draw:D

Maybe I got you luck today

alwaysadub · 02-03-2010 11:47PM

Well if it makes you feel any better,i've just realised my day wasn't as bad as it could've been!.
I owe the till in work 150euro cos i lost count when a customer was paying me a few grand in cash and so managed to short change myself.
Everything i needed in a hurry was out of stock.
The 500euro i was expecting back tonight off someone i lent it to, never materialised and i won't see them now for a couple of weeks.
I lost a debit card that had about 60quid on it.
I broke a carton of eggs all over the kitchen floor.
And today is my Dad's anniversary-maybe it just wasn't meant to be a good day all round.

well i'd like to help in anyway

i had a sh!tty day once, not a patch on yours but..

i had a really bad toothache and had an appointment for the dentist.

went out to start the car to pick up the little 'un and head off.

car wouldn't start.

heavens opened.

soaked to the skin.

child got soaked.

borrowed my friends car as the pain was starting to make suicide appealing.

1lt micra, would have been quicker pushing the fcuking thing.

made it to the dentist, was told i would need root canal treatment.

it would cost €400!!!!

squelched back to the car and wept for myself that day.

i laughed at my dramatics the following day though

Stubbing your toe is probably the most painful experience, ever. Getting kicked in the niagra falls? Child birth? Pffffft. Whenever someone stubbed their toe, you can see the pain, the grabbing of the foot, the taking off the sock to make sure no nail is cracked. There is nothing more traumatic. And Pete, consider yourself lucky you haven't done it today

Actually plenty of time to go yet :pac:

Days were everything just goes wrong, had them, but smile my good man you made it. You had a lot of bad luck in one day, so you won't have much more!

That's the death of that then.

Midnight_EG · 03-03-2010 12:09AM

700 or more applications in 3 days I think :P

littlefriend · 03-03-2010 12:19AM

Wow bad day Pete. How was the movie?

I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow. Have about 40 annoying things that I have to do. Have a feeling I'm going to come home to a flooded house, some very weird noises coming from the attic. I had tonsillitis last week - finished my anti biotics yesterday and my throat is really sore again.

Wow I've nearly bored myself to sleep writing that! Moooooaaannnn

Armin_Tamzarian · 03-03-2010 12:21AM

Fair play to ya Pete.
If I'd had a day like that I'd probably have taken it about as well as this guy.

Wow, what a tale of woe that was. Don't worry though, only half an hour of today left.

Hopefully there will be a positive from this experience, with some luck this experience mortified her enough so that we will have one less daft bint who thinks its all the fashion to leave the house in her pjs. Probably not but I can always hope.

03-03-2010 12:43AM

Ah if ya think that's bad, I lost a fiver there one day last week..

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 03-03-2010 01:30AM

Wow Petie, sucks to be you!

My day wasn't the worst but by no means spectacular

Failed the NCT, brake imbalance on the left side, pass rate is 30% I had 32%!

And now I have a sick stomach from licking 121 envelopes, they were cheap and I think that the glue was poisonous

I'm trying to ease the pain with red wine and benson & hedges

Why didn't you just ask the taxi driver for a loan of his and throw him a few quid?

Did you ever have one of those days?
