To think my day was shitter that yours?

[AtSea1979]

Had a weird, everything gone wrong kind of day.
Off work due to recent bereavement. First I ran in to the back of a head case, no damage but they completely over reacted. Then I went to a national trust type event, massive queues to the toilets, flush not working, rude woman next in the queue very loudly exclaimed how disgusting it was that I hadn’t flushed, she must have heard me keep pressing it, I quickly ran away.
Then my lunch came and everyone else’s was lovely and mine was under cooked, I ate round the under cooked bit and mentioned it at the end, only to be met by a disgruntled chef telling me it wasn’t undercooked despite the pool of blood.
Then I rushed round at home throwing food down the kids only to get to next activity to find out it had been cancelled and i’d forgot!

Tell me your shitty day so I feel better

Are you from NI OP?! Love the phrase 'head case' although pity you ran into the back of one.

I have kidney stones.

I can't have treatment for them or decent painkillers or even a nice glass of wine because I'm 7 months pregnant. Ouchie and boo. I would drown my sorrows in cake, but I have gestational diabetes too. Excuse me while I sob into my caffeine-free, sugar-free, alcohol-free glass of squash.

I know this thread is light-hearted, but it feels poorly timed given the news today about the shooting in Utrecht.

There will always be a poorly timed post with the amount of shite that goes on in the world. I see the op post as a light hearted form of therapy, perhaps someone to offload to anonymously. We all have bad days of varying scale and these posts help us understand, evaluate and refocus

I am uncomfortable with the term head case.

Son did something wonderful at school, a first for them and an amazing achievement for my boy.

Parents at the schoolgate had heard and were really nasty about it 😕.

Gynaecologist appointment and dentist for fillings all before lunchtime!
Still, I got some gorgeous shoes in the sale to make me feel better

for a better day tomorrow everyone.

I came home from a holiday where I got food poisoning, so I spent the flight worried I might shit myself (I didn't!).

Got home to a toddler covered in chickenpox.

Only just getting into bed despite not sleeping the last two nights due to the food poisoning and then having to get up at 4:30 this morning.

I suspect I'll be up most of tonight with Pox Boy as well.

I will, I had a worse day than everyone here.

I spent the day ... In Scunthorpe.

See, I win.

big hugs to all with shitty days.your not alone today has been a wanker
.cup of tea in bed,book,mumsnet or tv and snuggle down,have a good cry let it all out and then try get some sleep if you can.

It was my birthday - a very big one. My mum phoned me crying saying she couldn't cope another minute caring for dad and she was bringing him round to mine and having the day off. They both came round and ate my last 2 pieces of birthday cake. Then I looked after him for the day while mum went and had a nice day. Couldn't she have cracked up tomorrow?

P.S. Everyone recovered after a day off. I didn't get a day off even though it was my birthday.

Ferrovairio hope you hear from your family members soon.

We are moving house, with our belongings ‘in storage’ in three different cities so it’s manic trying to get all our possessions sorted. And DH’s car, which he has owned for about 4 days, broke down while 200 miles away from where me & the kids are, & about 400 miles away from our ultimate location. And DD2 is in meltdown because she hates uncertainty & change.

Had to pick ds up early from nursery as was hit on the head with a camera (he is fine) went to the post office to send kids passports away did the whole check and send business and the rude chap serving said "my lucky day I hate this pish" then spent the next 15 mins huffing and puffing about it while dd1 was moaning and ds4 was abusing the photo booth, decided to go to local soft play all was fine till home time when ds4 went post apocalyptic, had to practically drag him out with him shouting he wanted "his other mum" got home to realise I forgot to get dinner so had to get them all ready again to go to the shop. Currently sitting working my way through a pack of chocolate hobnobs.

Spent first hour of morning trying to get D's 16 up and out for school after 2 weeks of refusing. Really thought he'd go back but no. Didn't bat an eyelid or look up from his phone. Even when I faked a kind of fit/panic thing in front of him. Really sobbed as I'd got an essay due today. Already had 2 extensions. Got essay sent off. Don't think son's going to school tomorrow either..... Sometimes you don't realise how rosie life is. Until it gets a bit shit, then a bit more till all you can see is shit.

I have had the cold for three months solid, started my period, and my mum is a massive cow. May we all have better days tomorrow.

My stalker is back.

for everyone having a shit day.

Literally shitty, my 4 month old has ongoing diarrhoea so have changed about eleventy billion nappies, wiped cottage cheesey baby vom off the floor and sofa (laminate and leather were good choices!) and fed the ravenous beastie. Add in feeding me, preschool run and a load of washing and I realise why I never get any chores done!

Spent evening trying to talk on a bad mobile connection to,a homeless young guest at the shelter I volunteer at to stay in hospital for his surgery tomorrow. He is scared and alone and I couldn’t get to him. Tried to comfort another homeless guest with probably empty promises that he will eventually be housed and okay - after 4 years on the streets. A grown ass man who is grateful for the safety of the night shelter 12 hours a day (well, overnight) and shit scared to be back on the streets when our winter shelter closes in 2 weeks. Because sleeping on the streets is utterly dangerous. People piss or spit on you, beat you and steal what little you have. Then talking to 2 guests explaining how people shy away and won’t make eye contact the moment you say you’re homeless and how you’re just invisible to and I the world and May as well be dead.
Then I went home to my house, hugged my kid and DP, wept and drank 2 glasses of wine just to be able to sleep, but I am wide awake and worried for “my guys”.

Elderly mother unwell. Spent the morning waiting for doctor to phone and graciously agree she needed an emergency appointment. Got one in the afternoon, went to collect mother, she didn't want to go, hell of a performance to persuade her to leave her flat. Managed to borrow a wheelchair and decided it was simpler to wheel her to the GPs. GP decided she needed to go to hospital, called an ambulance to take her. Hours hanging around in A&E while various tests were done, then they shipped her round to the resuscitation ward where we spent hours waiting for more tests. Mother getting grumpier and more worked up by the minute, on an endless cycle of talking about (a) how she wanted a brandy, (b) how she wanted to die, and (c) a place we lived in in Africa 40 years ago which she kept (i) mispronouncing and (ii) telling people was lovely (she hated it at the time).

Eventually they decided they wanted to admit her, she was extremely unhappy about that, cue more shouting about why couldn't they just let her die, she didn't want to be with other people, what if they snored. Got her to the ward where she was asking who was going to look after her cat. Contemplated breaking it to her that cat died 30 years ago. Grabbed a nurse and said I was quite concerned she was going to upset other patients. She said they might give her some knock-out drops, sounds an excellent idea. Eventually left, had to recover the borrowed wheelchair and get a taxi to return it and pick up my car, eventually got back home around 10.30 p.m.

However, looking at these posts, I concede I don't win the prize for shittiest day, so maybe that's some consolation.

Family funeral today. Grim doesn't begin to cover it. Very upsetting and draining. Hugs to everyone who has had a rough day. Let's hope for a better day tomorrow

@MatildaTheGreat I'm uncomfortable with the name Matilda.

for those that can have it after their terrible days.

I've got a really bad throat infection (it's been over a week now) and horrible dry cough. My arthritis has also flared up really badly in my hand/wrist which means I can't drive my car (can't change gear) and had to borrow husband's automatic. Had to go to work today and teach a bunch of kids, with my throat really bad and hardly any voice. Feeling very sorry for myself as I brace myself for more teaching whilst ill tomorrow.

I'm tired and have to much on my plate.

for everyone. I'm sorry you've all had a shitty day, I hope you all receive good news tomorrow.

News of a sudden unexpected death of a close colleague.
Baby niece sent to hospital with an undiagnosed rash.
And I got cancelled on from picking up and looking after LO who I've not seen in a week and missing beyond words 😔

Oh Jesus, lots of bad / sad days here. Sending un-MN hugs to you all xx

Tomorrow is a new day. And HAPPY 🎉 BIRTHDAY 🎉 thigh of relief :-)
