When you know your day is going to suck...

[Stunseed]

This is a generic thread to post your BS moments in a day.

So I am working and a mid-30's hick strolls into my store, with a Compaq DESKTOP box underneath his arm.

"I DERMAND TO SEE THER MANAGEER!" yells the hick.

So I go see who snapped his overalls, and I walk up to him starting to get in my face. I ask what's the matter with his machine.

"IT WERN'T START UP, IT'S BROKED!" he yells at me, even though he's like 3 feet away.

His breath stunk to high heaven, so I stepped back and grabbed the machine to look at it. I asked all the normal questions, etc.

"I READ THE MANU-AL, I'M NOT STOOPID!" with every question.

Then I noticed, the power cord is still wrapped. After a few questions, I get to the root of the problem.

"THE STOOPID BOX SEYS IT'S A WIRELESS!"

With a snort to myself, I explained it to him, real slow.

Man is this day going to suck.

He bought a Compaq, he's obviously retarded.

When you have to park on the bottom level of the underground parking garage. Take three different elevators to get to the office only to find out you left your security badge in the car.

I feel your pain..really!

Customers, gotta love 'em... :shoot:

[Skeeter]

when you have to discipline your pain in the ass employee and just know how much of a hassle it's going to be.

When your boss transfers a call to you and snickers because he KNOWS the caller is going to be a PIA, and better me than him...grrrrrrr <puts on the 'tact and dipomacy' cap>

Whenever you've had an amazingly fitful incredible orgasm the day/night before because you sit there throughout the day 1. wishing it was later. 2. wishing it was 12 hours earlier, and the day draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags by.

Alternately, when you log into PC chatroom, and two people are talking about baseball (insert subject you find personally boring here), and everyone else is completely silent.

-Or when you get up in the morning, and see that housing has shit the bed and wait for the rest of the market to stall out, choke, or die on that news. -Very slow, very boring.

Blame Skeeter & Tijay for the baseball. I'm usually alert and watching to see if any other topics pop up.

So a half-deaf guy comes into the store. I'm a little rusty on ASL, and he begins to correct me as I try to help him. He, too, has horrid breath, and as he yells ( because he's half-deaf ), I raise my voice so he can hear me. I find myself talking like Chapelle ripping Lil Jon because of the volume of my voice, and some pre-teen yells out "OKKKKAAAYYY!" in my store.

After that I end up writing my questions on a pad like he's slow, which he gets offended by.

...30 minutes until this day ends.

When you spend all day debugging someone else's shitpile of code to find three missing letters in a 9,000 line class file. (That was today for me)

On the bright side having fixed the bug and letting my boss know, he told me I could polish off the (3/4 full) bottle of JD in the company fridge.

we usually save the sports talk for when everyone else is silent.

When you ask for time off to see your mother who you'll get to see ONCE for a year, because she's visiting, then you find out you were scheduled to work a TON while she's visiting.

Bitches.

When your vehicle doesn't start so you call your autoclub who calls a tow truck driver who shows up and actually expects you push your van into a position which roll onto his truck. The driver proceeds to crack your bumper as he is rolling it up onto said truck.

So your friend offers to let you use one of their extra vehicles for a few days until you get things figured out so you go YES no rental car fees and you're really grateful. So you pick up the vehicle which happens to be a truck that looks like it was a Hurricane Katrina victim and sounds like it is on its last leg. And you are still grateful and kinda stuck in that beggers can't be choosy moment and you drive away to quickly realize the A/C doesn't work, the brakes are whacked and you can't see through the dusty windshield.

You decide to pull over and wash the windshield so you put $2.50 in quarters into a car wash and before you know it, there is some sort of vortex of doom swirling around in the bed of the truck which suddenly explodes - leaving you splattered from head to toe with our beloved red clay mud and bits and pieces of what appears to be bark.

Yeah. Today.. was THE suckiest of days. It only went downhill from there.
