What was the absolute worst day of your life so far?

Bonus points if it's something we can laugh at.

Edit: I should clarify, I'm looking to laugh at things like "I ripped my pants in public, or I shit my pants in front of my partner." If it's something actually traumatic I wouldn't laugh about that, and would offer my support. I'm not a monster.

@(you need an account to see links), you keep making these super personal topics but are not starting the ball rolling by sharing your own experiences. I call bullshit on that.

My worst 24 hours (across two days) is not going to be one to make you laugh. I drove 10 hours to visit my parents during school holidays in 2013. I arrived, was greeted like normal. My dad says he'll cook steak for dinner (my favourite) and heads off. He never comes back. After a while, I can tell that something is wrong. I end up getting the truth out of my mum- he met someone on Facebook Scrabble and had started an affair. He had told mum of this hours before I arrived, and told her that if she said anything to me about it, he'd divorce her, but if she kept her mouth shut they could repair the marriage. The next day, I hear from him. Not directly though; he has his brother text me instead to say that he's leaving mum and that he waited for my trip so that I could be there for her and my sister. He'd lied to mum about being willing to repair the marriage simply because he didn't want to have to face me knowing the truth, and was trying to manipulate her into silence. The brother was also told to pass on that it was being my mother was "a whore" and that he'd "always known that my sister wasn't his." My sister who, from the age of 13, had been his undisputed favourite? Sure.

So yeah. Selfish bastard completely ruined my trip by forcing me to be the rock for my emotionally devastated and broken mother and be the one to tell my sister his claim. Some of you may remember me saying in the past how he was also an alcoholic, gambling, drug-addict. It was the cherry on top of a train-wreck of a father. He's dead now, so there's a happy end to the story.

My dad's suicide. I'd prefer you don't laugh at it.

Bacchus, I'm sorry you were forced to go through such an awful experience.
Misha, I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm willing to open up and share a personal experience, but as Misha wrote - I'd prefer if you didn't laugh at this ...

When you are chronically ill, it's hard to keep friends. A lot of people drift away because you are no longer fun to be around and can't go out and do things anymore. Seeing someone who used to be super active and healthy who now is walking with a cane, wearing oxygen tubing, etc forces people to confront their own mortality and it's just too uncomfortable for some people - so they drift away. Loved ones will tell you those who act this way "weren't your true friends" if they aren't willing to be with you through bad times, which is accurate, but it still hurts.
Through all of these losses of friendship, there's always your pets. They remind you of the true meaning of unconditional love. You may be having a low-oxygen day and laying in bed, but your cats will come by to cuddle. You may be feeling so weak you can't make it up the stairs to get to bed, and your python will crawl up near your shoulder and sleep. You're too exhausted to get out of the recliner, but your dog will bring you a tennis ball 147 times for you to toss, and even if it's just across the room he think it's the most awesome game in the world.
I love and cherish my pets dearly.

not really a story nor funny but when I fractured both of my hips in the army and could hardly move without being in pain
worst part is that sitting would only relieve me for a bit and then they’d hurt just as badly

**Synth Salazzle** · 10-13-2018

Ouch :/ I wouldn't laugh at any of these. I'm sorry for all of the things you've gone through.

I like being somewhat of an enigma people don't know too well. But I like getting to know all of you better, you're great people.

I might mention mine at some point but sadly it's not a laughable one either.

TW: suicide mention

**sucyshroom** · 10-15-2018

Witnessing a family member's psychotic episode for the first time, with no idea what was going on. We thought it was meth or something. Nope, just bipolar psychosis fueled by adderall (the last thing a manic person needs). It was so scary to see someone you love lose all touch with reality and even get violent. This family member wasn't even diagnosed until the next psychotic episode about six months later.
