The worst thing that's ever happened to me

[IHateLegDay]

I was out for lunch with DH and bit into a ham sandwich, not realising it had mustard on it. I blurted out "this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me!" 😂
Obviously it's not. I've had plenty of trauma in my life but whenever the conversation arises of 'the worst thing that's ever happened', that's what comes into my head!
So what's the (not actually) worst thing that's ever happened to you?

(Lighthearted 😊)

When I was a kid I got up in the morning to get myself ready for school. Bare-footed. Skidded on a massive pile of loose poo in our hall way - our dog had had an accident during the night. I still remember the way it felt and the absolute horror of the realisation 😂 Truly, the worst thing that’s ever happened.

I bought a load of beautiful glasses from a craft stall. I carried on shopping, got home. I'd forgotten about the glasses... as I walked into the hallway I just dropped my shopping onto the tiled floor. I was reminded of the glasses when i heard the unmistakable sound of breaking glass. They had smashed into smithereens.
I'm still bitter. 😪

Sitting on the sofa a few nights ago watching TV, fairly dark room and mug of tea on the floor by my feet. Had new baby Guinea pig on my lap, she was charging about climbing and exploring in a very excitable way. Then picked up mug for a swig of tea- a Guinea pig poo had fallen into it and made its way to my mouth 🤢

Aged about 11, I had a glass of milk on the coffee table. Had drunk most of it but there was a sip left. Tipped it into my mouth to find my mum had clipped her toenails into what she thought was an empty glass. Mouth full of clippings. 🤮

Finding out our cat had diorreahed under the kitchen worktop and it had got in the crevices of the hoover .

We always had slugs in our kitchen, it wasn't til the council came to replace some units that when they removed the sink unit the whole back wall ( i.e. inside the cupboard but behind the back panel) was absolutely plastered in slugs like a massive slug nest. It was horrendous!
So they weren't coming in from outside they're inside all the time 😲

I accidentally discovered a way to kill slugs attempting to infiltrate my kitchen.

I had left a tub of cheap dry cat food outside by the back door. Well it rained in it and the slugs climbed in (presumably after the food) and drowned. There were loads of them in there.
Still works. They never get as far as the door.

Oh dear god no…..😩😩😩

I see your 'stepped on a slug with bare feet' and raise you 'I stepped on a dead mouse that my cat had left on the stairs, in bare feet'
😱

I feel sick.

Sadly wouldn't be an option as I have a dog and cats who would eat the biscuits.

I went to pull a massive leaf out of my puppies mouth. The stem snapped off and she dropped the leaf.

The leaf was a mouse, I'd pulled of its tail..

Ah. I had put these out for local strays as my fussy cats wouldn't eat them

Spoiled gits 😂

Sitting on the back doorstep in the dark many years ago, having a fag after having several wines. Dropped the lighter - in the dim light I could just see it on the ground.

It was a slug. I picked up a slug.

A big juicy fat one it was too.

I went for a wee at the isle of white festival. Bobbed back for the tent to wait out a horrific rain storm. I could feel something sticking in my leg inside my tights but I couldn't be bothered to look until it suddenly became quite painful about two hours later. I assumed it was a bit of twig or grass or something. Pulled my tights down and found a fucking massive cock roach in them. And then in ran off and we couldn't find it anywhere so it probably lived with us for the rest of the the festival.

aaaaaargh! this and the nectarine earwigs have ended me.

So many of these are about slugs 🤢

Many, many moons ago as a student, went to my friend's for coffee. Sitting drinking and chatting, I got to the end of the drink and was most impressed to see fresh coffee grounds at the bottom of the mug. When I commented on the fancy coffee friend blanched and then started nervous hysterical laughter.

Turned out she'd grabbed 2 mugs from the kitchen without really checking them and one of them had been used as an ashtray....

Oh my god where to start?? In my life I have suffered:
Dad accidentally shooting a slug that splattered all over my face
A horse at the racing paddock sneezing full in my face
Sitting in gravy at my high school prom ..with a cream dress on so it looked like I shat myself
Sitting in a food hall whilst everyone tucked into food only to realise my order hadn’t gone through ..and they’d closed the kitchen
Ill relative vomiting into a hospital bowl…that splattered into my face
Stubbing my toe whilst opening the door which hit me on the nose and burst the big spot I had

There are many more

Omg same. I feel ill and the thought of this. I haven’t read the whole threes yet but this has to be the worst !

Another hangover takeaway one, I ordered a five guys cheeseburger without realising you had to add all the garnish etc separately, so it was just the burger and cheese, not even any ketchup. I ate it but I remain very bitter admit ( and it cost a fortune!)

Young and naive in France ordering the Fruit de mer platter thinking it would be prawns/lobster/crab only for it to be a plate of sea snails. I begrudgingly forced them down smothered in garlic mayonnaise to disguise the taste only to have the worst upset stomach for the next 48 hours! 🤢

Similar story to a pp above.
Picked up some tights off the bedroom floor and put them on. Could feel something tickling and saw a huge spider half squashed against my thigh inside the tights. No one has ever screamed as loud as I did that day. I couldn't get them off for what felt like ages as I was too hysterical.

Oh. My. God
