The Girly Girl's Survival Guide: How to Have Your Day Ruined

Sometimes, you can be having the best day of your life and without any warning signs, BOOM! The day has taken a turn for the worse. You could be going about your day beaming with happiness. Your sliding down rainbows and skipping through pastures with butterflies but little do you know that everything is gonna go from joyous to shitty in less than 60 seconds. It’s funny how the tiniest incident can sabotage your entire glorious moment.

Below are some incidents that will make you wish you hadn’t even bothered to leave your house because it would have spared you the trouble you would later encounter.

1.) Getting a parking ticket

There is simply no way to bounce back from the horrible feeling of getting a parking ticket. You feel stupid for getting it and you have to spend your precious money on such a stupid thing. There is no bigger waste of money than a parking ticket.

On top of all this, you will innately get the urge to track down the stupid officer who gave you the ticket and make them suffer for all eternity. I am still in search of the ever irritating Officer Cox who gave me a ticket for parking too far away from the curb. I didn’t even know you could get a ticket for that!

2.) Eat a bad meal

Once I have had an unsatisfying meal it is guaranteed that all hell is about to break loose. You are filled with regret for choosing the wrong menu item and know that all the crying you do cannot rewind time and change what you did. Such a tragic situation ruined my life just the other day when I chose to eat a shrimp Caesar salad. In theory, it should have been amazing! But it was soggy and the shrimp was not cooked enough! I blame this salad on the fact that I proceeded to be a raging bitch for the rest of the day.

3.) Run into your ex

Nothing can quite ruin a great day like this. It is the factor of the unexpected that is the most gut wrenching. You think you are having a regular day, you’re doing your thing, when the devil arises from hell just to say hello. It is one of the most tragic experiences one can have.

Sadly enough, I had the displeasure of running into my ex boyfriend recently. I was at the gym getting ready to attend yoga class when my Zen was rudely thrown off by none other than the devil drinking water at the water fountain!

*Side note: I do not use the word devil lightly. I am convinced that my ex boyfriend is actually the devil in human form. He is Lucifer himself!

Anyways, I was astounded that he would have the audacity to enter my gym. THE GALL OF THIS GUY! I didn’t care that we broke up in high school and it had been several years. He should know better than to enter my life unannounced. Needless to say, no amount of yoga could get me to the proper Zen level after that. My great day was officially ruined!
