Page 9 | The worst thing that's ever happened to me

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 😊)

Walking on the beach barefoot, I trod in dog shit. 🤮

Both times when Pregnant. Rushed off my feet at work in care calls, but had a quick 5 min break to go grab a drink. I was hot, tired and mega thirsty. Grabbed a bottle of water out of the chiller. Paid for it and went and sat back in my car. Opened it up and gulped it down. Only to realised it was mineral water and I didn't like mineral water. I sat in my car and full on sobbed cos I'd literally spent my last £1 until payday. 5 years down the line I am over that and do now prefer mineral water to plain water.

Second one just finished work which was another day of doing a shed load of care calls and little to no breaks. I'd spent the last 6 hours really looking forward to the last caramel latte pod from the tassimo machine. Made said coffee and took it into the bedroom. Carefully put it on the bedside table. Got sorted out and climbed into bed. Not sure what I was doing. Probably trawling through Mumsnet and as I went to reach for my charger I somehow managed to catch the cup and tip my much looked forward too coffee all over the floor and all down the side of my brand new bed. Yep I cried. Of course I had more coffee but it just wasn't the same so I went to sleep traumatised 😅

I once bit into a nectarine and the stone cracked, and hundreds of tiny black earwigs (I only know they were earwigs as I googled at the time) fell out, all over me.

I haven't eaten a nectarine or peach ever since, and this was several years ago.

😲. Today is the day I've stopped eating peaches and nectarines.

I was on holiday years ago in Spain and ordered pizza, there were 2 cockroaches baked into the pizza could of been more but me and my brother had eaten half before we made the discovery!

I was in Barbados and put my trainers on to go to the supermarket. As I walked across the carpark something inside my trainer was scratching my toe. When I looked inside my shoe there was a big cockroach, I ended up hurling my trainer across the carpark and ging bare foot.

Omg I had this happen to me in Greece once! I hurled that converse pump so fast across the room!! I can’t put any footwear on now without checking for ‘things’ 😬😬🤮🤮

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

I now absolutely have to know what blowjob bottle is.

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.

No no no no no no no 😩😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

RicherThanYew · 04/04/2024 23:18

@IHateLegDay I hope you're sure. In my younger days I had a dear friend who became a party animal, she would regularly have wild gatherings in her house and all sorts used to go on there. One of her guests went upstairs and picked up a bottle from her bedside table to ask wth was in there and my dear friend casually told her that she used it for spitting after blowjobs ... somebody may or may not have sipped it. It's infamous now.

The goat thing 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀I’m dying, thanks for sharing it!

Elderflower14 · 04/04/2024 23:19

Oh and at another school.ball we had a bucking bronco. Two friends husbands gave me a leg up in my ball gown. I went right over the top and got friction burns on both sides. Walked away again in bare feet and stood on broken glass.. That was quite an evening!!!

Once I was fully ready to go out, in nice sandals and decided to empty cat litter and take binbag with me on way out. Somehow I stood on the corner of the binbag when taking it out and dirty cat litter (including cat poo) plus the general bin juices and remains of my fajita gushed out all over my precious sandalled feet.

LakeTiticaca · 04/04/2024 23:22

I met up with a really hot guy who i had known years ago and lost touch with. It was so lovely to see him again, I was having a lovely time......then I woke up. I had been dreaming 😭 I was gutted all day. I should have realised it wasn't really, as when we "met" he was wearing a purple polyester zip up catsuit 🤣🤣🤣

Making a lovely cheese and Heinz mustard pickle sandwich from a new jar. Fortunately got far enough into the jar to discover the huge cockroach before I actually ate it 🤮

cafenoirbiscuit · 04/04/2024 23:31

Out for lunch with some posh women I didn’t know very well. Ate a black grape from a little dish. Except it was an olive 🤮. And I was too mortified to spit it out. I’m still traumatised 26 years later

My father in law took his sandwiches to work in a margarine tub daily. Worked in the middle of a field miles from anywhere.

He was not pleased the day he opened it to find he had actually taken the margarine! There cannot be a more disappointing dinner.

I have three - all food related…

Ordering a pizza in Rome, not realising what “bianca” meant - so gutted when it arrived with no tommy sauce on it!
First meal out after giving birth - ended up in a vegan cafe without realising, ordered nachos with extra cheese and was served up a massive pile of tortilla chips drenched with what can only be described as yellow PVA glue
Took a tin of tomato soup to work in an attempt to cut down the calories - didn’t realise I’d actually picked up a tin of chopped tomatoes! I was forced to eat fish and chips, instead.

What I’ve realised from each of these life-altering experiences, is that I need to realise things sooner.

oooh it’s a toss up between these two :
I was driving down a country lane and there was a (long deceased) badger corpse in the road. A boy racer came bombing it down the other side towards me, ran over the badger corpse and splashed badger juice up and into my open window and onto my bare arm, I then had to drive to a petrol station before I could wipe it off.

or:
when my dd was about 4 we were in maccies and I was having a coffee. Got to the end of my coffee and the last dregs tasted minty, and once drained, there was a lump of chewing gum in the bottom which my dd had pulled from under the table and dropped into my drink. 🤮 she’s 20 now and I still can’t forget it.

Similar happened with my toddler DD except way worse🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
I can hardly write it down ...we were at a restaurant for breakfast and DD was about 18 months old. She loved to hide under tables and things...ok at home, but I didn't allow it when out....before I could stop her, she was under the table....I fished her out...all was good until I noticed that she was chewing something...yep! She'd pulled a piece of gum from off the underside of the table and stuck it in her mouth, and was chewing away...38 years on and the thought still makes me want to 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Picked up my nylon shower scrubber, shower gel at the ready. A large black spider scrambled out of it.

Annielou67 · 05/04/2024 01:19

We were mid 20s. My (soon to be ex) husband and I used to hang around drinking with friends in an old seafront hotel - Blackpool prom type of place. The lady owner was really scary, she didn’t take any messing. Anyway husband drank too much and puked his guts up on the bar carpet. The owner brought me a bucket and made me clean it. The combination of sticky bar carpet and puke and I was retching too. It was really not good.

pinkhorsesarentunicorns · 05/04/2024 01:50

Finding out my cat had pissed on my wheelchair cushion was a bit of a low point. I thought I could smell something odd, went to the loo and almost knocked myself out with the smell. I was at a conference that day and having no option other than to sit on the piss ridden cushion I swear the smell got worse as the day wore on. I was absolutely horrified beyond all belief. Cat piss stinks BTW.

The cushion is divided into 9 sections. Each section contains a precise number of little air pocket things. Having to take the cushion apart, somehow find a way of stuffing 500+ air pockets in the washing machine, washing them and then spending 3 hours restuffing the cushion because I kept on losing count was a close second.

Going for a pizza last night and not reading the menu properly because I’d forgotten my glasses, and when it arrived it was topped in something that resembled dog food and didn’t taste much better 🤮

PerplexedPickle · 05/04/2024 03:27

I’ve done the slug thing too many times.

When I was pregnant my DP threw away my apple juice I’d been dreaming of all day, I cried. He also gave the kids next door a little teddy, unbeknown to him it actually belonged to my grandmother. I cried again and when we popped over to get it back (me in tears on the door step), the mum declared her DS loved it so much he’d taken it to bed and thanked us for being so kind. Cue me pretending I hadn’t been crying because I was devastated, but pretending that my grandmother would have been so happy it had gone to a small child who loved it so much.

One time I was popping the bins out and my dog followed me, myself and the dog got locked out. Wouldn’t have been so bad were I not in a towel at the time with no shoes on. I was home alone. Had to traipse the dog (no lead) around to my friend’s house to pick up the spare key. En route the dog decides to take a poo on her neighbours pristine lawn. No pockets for poo bags in a towel obviously, so I had to pop back when dressed to pick it up 😂

I had a salad from boots that had a caterpillar in it.. also had a tesco sandwich a few years later with a caterpillar in it!

Making cauliflower cheese with DC, we found a giant snail under the Tesco cauliflower leaf. With great ceremony we took it to be set free in the park opposite. But on return we found another snail so had to repeat. Then another, and another. 10 snails in total. The cauliflower just ended up in the bin and we ate something else that night.
