The Absolute Worst

You think here your day is awful? Well, lemme tell ya about the absolute worst. I'm talking a level of doom that would make a hurricane look like a Sunday picnic. It all started when I left the house, and things just went south from there. First, my cereal was cold, then my bus decided to refuse to start. And that's before I even get into the people...

It's a nightmare of epic proportions, folks. The kind of day that makes you want to just scream into the void.

• How has it changed your decisions since then?
