I drive for a living (London Taxi Driver) If you want me to beat that.. I can.. hopefully it will make you feel better too.
about a year ago, I left for work at 4.30 am. I got my first job in at 6am.. There was lady dressed in all yellow. She had fruit all over her head (on a hat that she wouldn't take off making my rear view vision impossible) The only thing she did was show me a piece of paper that said Shepherds Bush Green.
I stick my radio on and drive her over to Shepherds Bush Green. When we arrive I ask her where about she wants.. She can't understand me, she can only speak in what I later found out was Afrikaans. This goes on for 20 minutes. A policeman comes over and he tries to get an interpreter over, she starts crying and eventually a police car turns up with an interpreter inside. She was crying because she has no money and the place she wanted wasn't anywhere NEAR there.. She wanted Stepney Green which is about 12 miles away ALL in traffic.
The police told me they would driver her there and said if I wanted to prosecute her for hiring a taxi without the funds to. etc etc.. I didn't bother.. poor cow was in tears.. so we left it at that.
I then drove back towards the West End where two young girls jumped in the cab and wanted Bermondsey.. When I get there, they jump out and run off without paying.
I then waited 45 minutes to finally get a job.. which turned out to be a decent one.. to Heathrow Airport Terminal 4. I get 100 yards up the road and the cab doesn't want to move.. I'm revving the engine and nothing..
They get out and get another cab.. I end up getting towed to the garage where it was out of action because of a damaged Torque Convertor (Apparently part of the gearbox)
They wouldn't have it in stock for 3 weeks. So I had to then have to go hire a cab until they repaired it..
The whole day was wasted, it cost me a fortune in Diesel, a fortune to hire another cab, a fortune to pay for my one which wouldn't be repaired for 3 weeks and one day.. and the best part was? I didn't get paid for a single job I'd done!!!
It's ok though, I can laugh about it now. and if it makes you feel better? Great!!
Oh man that sucked
It was sweet of you to help the first lady though. π
She was crying in a strange country with barely anyone that could understand her, I didn't really have much of a choice. I can laugh about all that now anyway..
So tell me? Has your day got better?
Good story. Rough go! Sorry for your troubles. I would have gone ballistic and thrown something; probably my back out. GREAT ATTITUDE!
@Guardian45 It' the only attitude to take. My profession is considered one of the worst you can have for heart attacks. If I let those things get to me? Well the rest is obvious.
Once in my class I was about to drink a chocolate glucerna (yum!) for breakfast. I shook it, as you're supposed to do, without realizing I had already taken the lid off.
Chocolate glucerna everywhere. Including on me!
I keep a change of clothes for just such accidents. However that day the only change of clothes I had was a suit, which I normally wear only when I meet parents, or for open house, etc.
My students returned from morning recess to see me in my suit, with all sorts of oohs and ahhs. One theorized I had a secret rendezvous during recess. 😂
My wife thought that was hilarious.
Absolutely hysterical... Almost spat out my salad as I read this I had hold in a laugh since my mouth was full.

OR on a date...
OR BOTH

This experience has led me to consider leaving a spare set of clothes at work π
Well, the student used the word "date," but if you want to give it the secret agent spin, I'll take it!

I can relate to being cut off, but not to having anything spill. My older brother can though, he got tired of being cut off so he built a custom grill guard for his truck and now when someone cuts him off he doesn't touch the brakes.
His truck has survived dozens of accidents, and dozens of cars have been totaled... and he has dash cam evidence so he never gets the ticket. In fact the other driver has to pay for any repairs his truck needs or their insurance.
Sure hoped those people learned to not cut off trucks, but I doubt it.
OMG π³π―
Oh sheeze balls I don't know whether to be impressed or scared or both lmao ππ€£
From the sounds of it, your a good driver and wouldn't cut anyone off so be impressed.
I don't know why little cars feel the need to cut off trucks or semi's, kind of stupid if you ask me... like they want to die.
I did great on my morning drive. Sat in the coffee shop & drank my coffee there. I'm not sure how thee laws are where you live but up here. Drinking coffee while driving is considered distracted driving. Up to a $2000 fine & six demerit points if convicted.

I've had a few bad days when I woke up with the stomach flu my poor mom had to clean up after me I was like 10/11 years old... Then one time I fell on black ice it was Winter time and I hurt my hip and my dad made me go to school limping what a Son-Of-Bitch
Thats rough mornings for sure
@meetkitty123 Sorry your morning sucked I feel for you (( Hugs ))
Even if I slammed on the brakes my fully loaded truck would not have stopped fast enough to avoid hitting him, so I would not slam on the brakes causing my truck to swerve across lanes, hurting innocents. Just slow as I can and run over the bastard who caused it. I will be fine. My coffee will be intact. My clothes will be dry. No sweat.
OMG im trying not to laugh not so easy to hold back π
You shouldn't be drinking coffee while driving. In some places, that's a violation subject to a fine and points on your license. Regardless, drinking (or eating) while driving is a distraction similar to texting... you shouldn't do it.
Not against the law here and in many places its more than acceptable if cups have straws.
There are many things that aren't illegal. Doesn't mean they're smart things to do. You ruined a dress... could have been a lot worse.
Ok quick run back home get undressed get in bed and come out on the other side get dressed smile get in the car turn on some music and start your day over
Yes all of it but the bed... Why didn't I think of that would have been nice...
Oh right hold on I was cover in my morning coffee peanut butter chocolate shake
Mmmm that sounds so good coffee peanut butter chocolate shake that sounds really good you had to be very sticky that's happened to me a couple times what I really hate it is when you go to McDonald's drive-thru and they hand you your drink can you reach out to get it and as soon as you grab hold of the top pops off and soda goes everywhere are you barely get it in your car and it does it you're the worst
Yeah I'm serious I have gotten in bed before and got out on the other side and started my day all over I've had to LOL kind of funny but if it works the first time it will work the second time LOL at least it was a shake and it wasn't hot coffee
Lol showed off my nails instead
Chocolate peanut butter and coffee go nice together
I would have just gone to work anyway. You used your female privilege today. Men don't have that option. They expect us to be at work, period, stain or no stain! Sure, you get laughed at all day, but you just have to grin and bear it and do your job.
Please don't take this comment personally, as it wasn't meant that way haha.
Im not sure where you work but where I am we are supposed to look professional. It would not be acceptable and I would have been sent home to change regardless
Besides I called my boss first and her exact words were ok go back and change
@meetkitty123 It depends on whether you're public-facing or not. If you're in the back or on the telephones then it doesn't matter.
Ok. :)
What kind of work do you do?
@Guardian45 Who- me?
Yup!
@Guardian45 Trolls, Inc.
NASDAQ: TRLZ
Are you a manufacturer or supplier distributor?
@Guardian45 It was a joke. π
Yes, it was!πππ
Nah my my morning job is very much hands on In the front lines... Worst thing My D ink Had a touch of peanut butter and when working around such a mass munch it is dangerous to have peanut butter on ones clothes or skin... Someone can be allergic which is why I always have my coffee shake before going into work.
@Guardian45 Lol
@meetkitty123 Oh! Wow
The time a poisonous snake emerged from the glove compartment and ate a spider on the windscreen that I didn't like the look of springs to mind. To cap it all, I was so startled / afraid that I needed new underwear.
Ahhh a nightmare
Kewl Story Bro! Tell it again!ππ
I have had days like that but not in the past few months.
And I Hope it will be no time soon for you either!
So far I'm lucky; I work from home on Fridays. So my morning commute was walking about 20 seconds from my bedroom to my office. I managed NOT to spill anything! 😂👍
Oh I see you are one of those fancy button down shirt top wearer and boxers and bunny slippers on the bottom π€£π€£π€£
You've been spying on me!π
Yes, been there done that. Sorry you had to experience that with a brand new dress on.
Thank you!
You're welcome kitty I hope the rest of your day went better.
No for 2 reasons.
1. I don't drink and drive
And
2. Because I'm usually the a**hole you're talking about. Cutting in front of you and slamming on his breaks.
Grrr π€ π‘ it was YOU!
Oh well you have me a second chance to fix up my makeup thank you
Thatβs a rough morning! I hope the rest of your day goes better.
Thank you
Thats a shitty way to start the day. At least it's Friday.
You said @KrakenAttackin ! TGIF!
@KrakenAttackin You're a bad @$$ GaGer rough at times but I still admire your directness no sugar coating with you... Its take it raw and hard or go home π€£π€£ ... Yup it was indeed shitty
@meetkitty123. Thank you my dear.
Yes and it really sucks... hopefully your day gets better and wetter.. lol from here!!
Not wetter thank goodness
No, I just don't drive eating or drinking anything for that reason.
Many times. And spewing out expletives and cursings.
I only will drink Pepsi or beer while I am driving.
Wait beer while driving π€π³ oh boy
Soda I would do
But I have never drank alcohol and drove.
You really shouldn't be drinking while driving, imho,
A good reason to have a lid on your coffee cup.
It had one but it seemed to have failed.
@meetkitty123. Try a cup with one of those screw top lids and a reusable straw!
I can definitely relate to Idiot driver's Lmao
Once an omen happens I just stop all activity
