Your worst Day, please top mine

[Jaythulhu]

A few years ago my fiancee attacked me with a skillet while I was watching tv and broke my skull, collarbone & 4 of my ribs. As I lay on the ground bleeding and barely conscious, she laughingly told me was fucking my best mate and she'd secretly aborted our child. When I woke up quite a long time later (it was light when she attacked me, dark when I woke, that much I can remember) she'd taken everything of value from our house and disappeared. The next few months are fuzzy, but I do know I spent a fair bit of that time in hospital.

Just because there are people worse than you doesn't mean you shouldn't complain. I seriously hate that argument.

Same here - it's pretty bogus.

I can't really top most people. My worst day has never been too terribly bad. *shrugs* I mean, life has had its ups an downs, but nothing the average person can't get through.

I guess after several months of watching my mother slowly die of cancer, the day she actually died could be considered a bad day (I was 10 at the time, so old enough to understand what was happening and young enough to have some side effects of having to try and cope with grief)

There's also the time I got stabbed, that was a pretty sucky day.

Also my average tuesday is still pretty sucky, going to college to start a 3 hour lesson that involves me getting patronised by my tutor who thinks I lack the capabilities to do anything whilst constantly being berated by a bunch of twats who think they're so much better than everyone else. This is then followed by having no lunch because I can't afford £20 a week for travel and excess for food as I cannot get a job (None locally, can't afford to learn to drive) especially since my only income is £20 a week I get if my tutors arn't dicks and actually pay attention to the work I do. Then having a second 3 hour lesson where the tutor spends 90% of the lesson telling me I'm going to fail at life and never amount to anything, whilst being backed up by the same bunch of twats who just take potshots at me for no reason other than they can.

But on the bright side, at least I can go home and try to deal with a single parent who has Bipolar Disorder and spends most of the day asleep because of the amount of anti-depressants, mood stabalisers and painkillers that he has to take, leaving me to cook food for myself and my brother and also keep the place somewhat tidy.

Spoiler: Now just because I don't want to end up feeling sorry for myself

Well let's see, I was born with a handicap, so that's a good start.
The first four years of my life I was criminally neglected, according to my grandparents, until my mother died in a car crash, and I got a better mother later.

At age five I was on my father's fishing boat, and the gas lamp exploded, and that's why I never wear shorts or go to the swimming pool.

My nose was ripped half-off by some asshole crashing his bicycle into a gate I was standing behind, the pointy tips were exactly high enough... I still got a bad scar on my nose.

On high school I almost killed myself because I was bullied.. and I don't mean they called me names, I mean they beat me up constantly. You see, I needed a "special" education, witch in the Netherlands means you go to a "special" school, a school were they put autistic people and other people with handicaps, but also youth criminals and their ilk, including gang members. Because all people who can't function on a normal school should be put together, ri

I do hope that you sued the living shit out of that whore.

OT: There is nothing for me to complain about. I've never really had to go to the hospital, all of my close family is still alive, and I've lived a pretty damn good life in general.

I don't like it either, but fact is, that someone in the world is having a day from the seventh circle of hell, that fact alone should show us that our bad days are not so bad and to be more positive, or even grateful.

For example, if I am having a horrible day, I flip on a episode of Maury, or Jerry Springer. Somehow those guests are always having worse day then me.

She vanished. Probably left the state.
Australia isn't that much like America when it comes to suing and stuff. I could have probably gotten something in court from the state government's victims of crime fund, but it would not have been much (less than $10k). Suing her family wouldn't have worked because she's an independent adult and they're not responsible for any actions she takes (since as far as I knew she wasn't dead so I couldn't go for her estate). Also, we don't have punitive damages down here (which is where most of the $$$$$ comes from in US litigation), so after paying court costs and all that, I'd have just spent a year or so of my life reliving the event over and over just to get a couple of thousand bucks.

It just didn't seem worth it, my recovery was much more important.

my housemate decided to break the toilet
and he is proud about it

way to go man

 

[Smithburg]

Well I went to the orthadontist and he removed two of my teeth without anesthetic with a FUCKING TEETH CLEANING PICK DX He literally jabbed it in my gums and tore my teeth out by cranking it back and forth like a crowbar, by the time he got the first one done I was begging him to stop but they just held me down and kept going

 

[Aetera]

Last week my father, fully aware of what he was doing, confirmed point by point every fear and idea that had led to me attempting suicide last year. Every reason I'd had for wanting to end my life he just agreed with, telling me they were all true and valid, to my face. I went back to the psych ward for partial hospitalization the next day.

So yeah. I recently had a pretty bad day. I still live with my father, and he's sleeping peacefully across the hall as I type this. I have to live with a man that agrees that I should have died.

Not my worst day ever, but the most recent bad one. I don't like remembering the worst ones.

 

[Don Savik]

Well considering my life is just a series of fuck-ups and embarrassments I really can't nail it down to one day in particular. Hrmmm......oh I got one. My stepdad dragged me out of the house BY MY THROAT and threw me onto the street for the night, you know, while my mom just watched because she was too much of a dumbass to fucking do anything about her abusive husband. You know why I got kicked out? Because I looked like a jackass for standing around with my hands in my pockets. I am not shitting you, thats what he said. My stepdad is a fucking lunatic lemme tell ya. Growing up with him was and is a nightmare. Goddam I hate my life. I'm surprised I haven't tried to kill someone yet.

 

[Fertro]

Why is it that when something bad happens to somebody, they make a thread complaining about it, called "What's the worst thing that's happened to you", or something along those lines? Is it simple attention whoring, or what?

Anyways, my days haven't been traumatic or anything like that. Other than pets dying, that's about it. There is the fact I nearly rolled the car a few days ago, but that's not too bad; I only fishtailed and spun into a ditch and ripped the rear-left tyre off. Didn't even get a puncture, just got Roadside Assistance to put it back on and fill it up with air again.

The seat is a bit broken, though...

 

[BringBackBuck]

My brand new car was broken into and vandalised by a junkie less than 5 hours after I bought it, but hey that's what insurance is for. The day I was told to give up sport because of arthritis in my knee was one of my least favourite days. But it did set me on the path of some really good choices in my life. The day I set myself on fire wasn't a great day either. Nor were any of the following 20 days spent in hospital getting skin grafts and the like. Though I did discover a fondness for morphine. The day my wife had a miscarriage was a bad day. But that sometimes happens if there is something wrong with the foetus, so maybe it was for the best.

 

[IamQ]

Watching 9-11 in person... absolutely nothing is more horrifying then that. I remember exactly what the people around me were screaming, the street I was on, the store I ran for my fucking life towards when the first tower collapsed in a gigantic column of smoke and debris, and watching charred and mangled corpses being pulled out in an attempt to look for survivors... I'm starting to get sick typing this.

You don't have to answer what I'm asking, as it seems that just the thought of that event makes you almost feel sick.

But I've always wondered: How loud was the entire event? I mean, it was an entire building just collapsing. A really huge building at that. It must have been ear shattering. I don't understand how some people can have been there and not have gone deaf or gotten tinnitus.

 

[Crenelate]

Probably the day after I was called at midnight to tell me my best friend had overdosed and was in a coma and was probably going to die. Made for a brilliant few hours travelling form the SW of England up to Manchester.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

No doubt you're under a great deal of stress that has built up over a long period of time and that is definitely a serious matter, but if you ask people to compare one day of that to the absolute worst day of their lives, you just end up sounding like a whiny little *****.

That's pretty much how I feel about this thread. Yes you have problems, but don't go asking if anyone else is worse off because you can be damn sure there's always someone worse off. And I don't think knowing that will make you feel any better either.

 

[emeraldrafael]

watched my friend die in front of me

Uhm, if its not to much to ask for.

Could you tell what happened...

Well, one was an overdose. from what the coroner/doctor/whoever does that kinda examination she went peacefully, which I was glad at she did.

Another was blatantly shot cause he took on a girl with too much baggage and the ex wasnt having hearing he was dating her.

I was in the home when one killed himself.

And the last one was cause of drunk driving when I got blind sided by a drunk driver with her in the car.

 

[Brad Shepard]

well, my former friend was literally brainwashed(over a long time) by his crazy dad and tried to drown me in the school pool. he was pretty much strangling me while pushing me underwater. i dont blame him, i blame his dad

...I want to know the story behind this story.

 

[Hazy992]

Not the worst but I've been feeling pretty damn shitty lately. I've been having really bad anxiety over irrational thoughts, my compulsions have gotten worse (I honestly think I may have OCD) and I'm starting to regret my university course more and more by the day. Just wanted to vent more than anything.

 

[FernandoV]

OK I need to vent before I get an aneurism. I'm in a routine of School Work and Home each pissing me off more then the last. At school I'm stuck with pot-heads and passive aggressive know-it-all's for 4 hours straight, at work I'm stuck with an deaf manager and the neediest frustrating customers I have ever met. Finally at home I'm stuck with a passive aggressive mother who wouldn't get out of bed when I can just get whatever she thinks she needs. All this and people still don't know why I spend the majority of my time playing Video games or M.T.G with the people I can actually stand to be around.

This is quite possibly one of the least consequential problems. Did you post this as a troll joke or something? Wow, you live with difficult people, go to school with difficult people and work with difficult people, sheesh, hard life there, I don't know anybody who goes through that.

Try not knowing whether you'll eat everyday or not being allowed to leave the house because you'll get beat otherwise. Those are problems.
