What Minor catastrophe ruined your day?

[Foxxo]

This morning i for some reason put 2 sugars in my coffee instead of one, and now its undrinkable, tastes awful, all i can taste is sugar.

This has clearly ruined my day, because now i have no coffee and have to wait to get another.

What tiny thing going wrong has ruined a day of yours? (lets keep it lighthearted)

Just found out that all my gloves, scarves, hats and my favourite autumn poncho/cape are full of mildew and smell disgusting. Range from reasonably priced to quite expensive, collected over many years, and I'm quite sad that I'll likely not be able to keep them.

Sure it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, first world problems and all that, but I'm upset and also pissed off. This old house really tests my patience sometimes; I'm pretty much at fucked off stage now and if I could have it my way I'd move to a flat in Copenhagen and just start a whole new life.

I stayed up half the night watching the aurora and now I'm too tired to go out and enjoy the sunshine.

Toddler DS got into the Sudocrem.

😱

@HappyDane put a cup of white vinegar with them in the wash. Might need two washes but it should sort it out.

@LegoTherapy thank you! They're on their third delicates wash with wool soap now but I'll try the vinegar next! 💐

I went out to watch the aurora and tripped over the step in the dark. My knee is cut up and my right side is aching. I did manage to save the dog, I was carrying her at the time.

Am also tired from staying up late!

Oh dear WhereDoBrokenHeartsGo I hope the dog was grateful?

I've dripped coffee on my 'clean on' trousers and they're the kind I have to iron too! They'll be waiting in the laundry basket for ages now

I stood in dog poo when I was walking our dog this morning. Luckily I wasn’t wearing my chunky soled boots but I spent the rest of the walk cursing other dog owners who don’t pick up their dog’s shit and give the rest of us a bad name in the process - especially as we are very well served with dog bins round here so there is no excuse whatsoever.

Oh no!!

I spilt a bowl of tomato soup over my new pale pink jumper,trousers and cream throw. The dog was so happy to have a treat before I could sort it out!

Manager told me I had made a mistake at work, I knew I hadn't. He was looking at the wrong report - dickhead.

I went to bed too early to see the aurora last night (although not sure I'd've seen much given the horrific light pollution where I live) and now have to be content with everyone else's pictures.

@Justploddingonandon I believe there's a good chance of seeing it again tonight (depending on where you are)!

My fingernails are very long at the moment and need trimming. This morning as I applied moisturiser to my face, I managed to accidentally stab myself inside my nose with one fingernail. Ouch!!!

My house is cold and I’m too tight to turn the heating on🤣 Holding out as long as possible!

Ds2 had to get up for university at 6 and woke me up. His train to London was then delayed for ages so he’s really not having a good day!

oh dear, sounds like we're all having silly little diffculties today.. funny how the smallest of things can spoil a day.

I hope you all have good weekends to make up for it!

Sitting with my starbucks coffee and some cookies from my Tesco Foray atm, seems to be helping this mornings coffee incident be forgotten!

i live by a school and one of the parents complained to the council about the dog poo on the bit of flowerbed (mostly gravel with a few plants dotted around) we have the other side of our wall that runs parallel to the pavement. There is a bin 5 ft away on the corner.

Council man came around and cleared it up.. agreed with me it was a sodding cheek considering its other people walking their dogs causing the problem because they're letting them crap on my flowerbed and not picking it up, and then parents are moaning because their kids are stepping in it, completely missing that ITS MY FLOWERBED they're letting their kids roam over.

They're all CF'ers imho.

I have a sign in my window now that says "my garden is not your dogs toilet"

Right now, norovirus 😅😅 Feel like I've been backed over by a truck!

Was planning a "lunchtime meeting" with the BF while WFH (IYKWIM) but he forgot he had a haircut appointment!

I went outside, eagerly, for the aurora and saw fuck all.

I am baking for gf grandchild’s birthday party and have just put the cake in the oven. Now need to start on the asked for scones and can I find what I’ve done with the gf baking powder? How can the wretched thing disappear, I’ve just used it on the dam cake. Even looked in the bin ffs.

Had to answer this. "Minor"!
My bf next door has a couple of cars (she's a self-confessed petrolhead), and I'm licenced to drive her Morris 1000 (Morris Minor).
Well, as you can imagine, being a 1965 car it's noisy, but my day was ruined on Tuesday when I reversed it out of its "shell" (flimsy garage) for her. "Thanks Sian" she said.
"Sian?", said a passing pr|ck, "How about using the clutch SHAARRNN?".
I was dumbfounded I think is the word. My friend tried "How about using your brain, pr|ck?", but he'd gone.
My day went from ⬆️ to ⬇️.

This was last night so I hope it counts. My sister sent me a beautiful photo she had just taken of the Northern Lights. I went outside with my phone and discovered it doesn't have a night option. No beautiful photos of cosmic phenomena for me. All I could see was a faint pink smudge. Still sad about it now 😢

I'm baking a fruit pie for my husband; his phone is charging on the bit of worktop I use for baking, a few specks of flour got on his phone. When he noticed this he said why hadn't I unplugged it and moved it to another plug and charged it again. I said because in the act of setting out the ingredients and making said pie I hadn't noticed the phone. He said don't give me that bullshit. Later, when he went to cut a piece of pie I shouted be careful, there may be some of my bullshit found it's way in there. Great start to the day.

Not being able to find DD’s shoes this morning. There has been a domino effect all day…
