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 😊)

I poured myself some gin the other day and then added some tonic and a lovely twist of lime. Only to take a sip and find that I had ruined everything by adding sparkling water, not tonic.

I once trod in cat vomit, when I had bare feet

That wins. That’s horrific.

Oh my Goodness 🤣🤣🤣

apart from the obvious traumatic ones … so many of these posts have had me laugh out loud! Thanks for cheering me up guys. I’m creased 🤣

Getting a hot dog when I was drunk dropped it on the ground, picked it up, bit it and got a big mouthful of grit 🤢🤮🤢

I did something similar - moved house, thirsty, saw a water bottle and took a swig. It was fucking bleach! Thankfully spat it out immediately and gargled for what felt about 3 hours. Never, ever decant bleach into another container.

An elderly visiting relative had stayed well beyond welcome. Four days of knowledgeable advice on everything from double glazing to buggies and endless photographs of random other relatives I didn't know plus she wouldn't go to bed until
Midnight or get up until 11 which when you have small children who get up at 5 am is not funny AT ALL. I bought myself a really nice bottle of wine to cope with yet another night of unsolicited lengthy advice and (because she was still talking and distracted me) I dumped the shopping on a tiled floor and smashed the bottle. She said 'oh well it isn't good for you anyway' and proceeded to lecture me for about 4 hours on why alcohol is bad for you. This was about 29 years ago and I am still not over it.

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much. I really needed this!! I snort-laughed as I read this And is hands down the best thing I’ve ever read, ever ever ever! 🤣

Even though this isn’t your thread, can I vote YABU for having not offered up that story right from the get go? 😂😂😂

Hahah have you not read the dog related ones? 🫣

Oh no. This one isn’t light hearted, it’s the stuff of nightmares!

I cannot stand mint as a herb at ALL. If I even smell mint sauce it makes me boak like crazy. For that reason I never order lamb in a restaurant and I'm very wary of new potatoes.

I was in a lovely local seafood restaurant and ordered a risotto. I think it was sea bass across the top and a lovely risotto with little bits of mango through it. The mango had been marinated in mint. Ruined the whole thing.

Another time I had been raving to family about this amazing pasta in the restaurant we were in. I couldn't wait to have it again and other people ordered it because of my recommendation. Well it arrived and it was awful. There was spinach in it and they can't have washed it as there were little bits of grit throughout. That was a special meal for my birthday that year as well.

Even when you complain and get something else it's just not the same.

This happened to me too 🥹
Worse though is DH went out to bin in his bare feet and stepped on a frog 🤮

Mumsnetters, you've outdone yourselves 👏

I've retched to about 3 of these comments and haven't even finished yet 😂😂

When I was about 16 I was so hungover I went to the kitchen to get some water, my mums dog came over and jumped up my leg, the smell of fox shit was so strong it made me instantly projectile vomit, with some landing on her….
Trying to scrub a mix of puke and fox shit off a Jack russel who hates baths before my parents got home was hell of a life lesson I can tell you!

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Oh my god, these are all... terrible. <- not envy

The slug squishing particularly resonated. I didn't squash one but I was wearing low mules and one 'fitted in' under my foot arch. I still think about that.

Wetting myself at the shat upon goat!! Needed that today thanks.
also the badger juice!
my worst is skipping down the garden path one sunny day barefoot to hear a crunch and realise…. Yes I’d stood on a snail! 🤢

Yuk!🤮

When I was in primary school I used to like cheese and ketchup sandwiches. One day my mum accidentally made me cheese and tomato chutney, to my shock when I bit into it! It put me off chutney for years until the other day I tried some and realised it's actually quite nice.

Yes this happened to me, years ago, in our cafe at work. Lovely fresh mini baguette with butter, lovely sliced ham off the bone and tomato and a little meaux mustard. Except it wasn't - whoever made it slathered both cut sides with English mustard. Cue me head exploding, tongue burning, eyes watering and snot coming out of my nose. I don't do extreme flavours... Got my money back plus a glass of ice-cold milk and a cheese and cucumber sandwich.

I also learned, at a lovely lunch at a Japanese restaurant with someone I really liked, that the green stuff on my plate wasn't something cool and refreshing to eat by the forkful - but wasabi! 🌹

Sheesh this thread needs a warning in the title. I think the badger juice has it though.

I was very car sick, vomited all over the steering wheel and drivers seat

Pulled over in , stripped off most of my wet / stained clothes

And then realised I was close to a petrol station amd probably visible on their CCTV

Eating an egg mayo sandwich that had egg shell in it.. I carried on eating it, along with shell.. then fault totally nauseous for the rest of the day 🤮🤮🤮🤮

This thread is giving me the boak but I won't lower the tone with the Blowjob Bottle. Pooping on a goat though, dude 😂😂
