If you think you had a bad day...
This may make it better.
My best friend has a 199x something saturn sc1. Getting ready to go to work and it wouldn't start. Get's a jump from mommy..waits inside for a couple (monsoon rain outside) gets back in the car and it imediately dies as he lets out the clutch. His help is gone now so he decides to push the car down the hill (jump in) and try a kick start. Success!
Now this is where it gets BAD. He's on the highway going along with rush hour traffic and his hood blows up and smashes into his windshield. With the hood planted against the glass..He had to slouch down to get a generous one inch view in the gap where the hood latches to the engine bay. He basically had to Nascar it blindfolded to the shoulder. He claims it took about 1/4 mile. I believe it. Considering most of those drivers were probably too busy making love to their wawa coffees. Now.. on the side of the road he decides to tie a walmart bag to the hood and latch. I would too. Walmart = quality. Suprisingly it didn't hold. Back on the shoulder again. Now my friend decides to do a series of running and leaping WWF elbow/body drops on it. U know what? "snap" it worked!! Can u imagine driving by and seeing this fool doing this in the pouring rain? Anyway he starts driving and "hesitate..hesitate...die" the ******** ran out of gas lol. Somewhat in his defense, his gas gauge never worked. He always had to guestimate his fuel. And considering the circumstances, I probably would have forgotten 2. Now the smart..he always keeps a 1 gallon gas tank in his trunk. For such situations. Good for him. Anyway, somehow he made it to work on time! 
Talk about a dedicated employee!!! Though his hood is bent in positions I wouldn't even ask my girl to try. If anyone would like pics..I would be glad to snap some. It's like a storybook with pictures!!!

funny. Let's make this a worst day ever thread.
When I was a junior in high school my girlfriend broke up with me real late one night. (around 12am). The next morning I get up to drag my depressed butt to school. As I'm driving down my town's main street, my truck dies and I had to coast to a stop in the turning lane because of morning traffic. As soon as I stop, my parking brake cable locked up( because we had tightened it too much the day before) and I couldn't push my truck out of the road. At that moment my girlfriend and her mom drove by on the way to school. I had to wait close to an hour for my dad to take off work and come help me. He literally had to ram my truck off the road, where I spent another hour under the truck loosening the parking brake cable so we could tow it home.
Pretty bad day

Speaking of parking breaks.. went to atlantic city with my girlfriend in my stang. got to the Borgata and yanked on my parking break too hard-- the cable snapped. Couldn't go forward no more.
had to get it towed and paid $200 bucks to get it fixed. Then afterward the mechanic came out and told me if I would have drove it in reverse it would have disengauged (sp?). lol talk about a slap in the face. I could have put that 200 on "black" and doubled my money. Who knows, I could have slept in the penthouse that night. sigh.........By the way.. I went home broke.

OMG dude... that is one dedicated employee but just might be the funniest story i have heard in a long time. I would **** my pants if I went by and saw some guy elbow dropping his own hood. lol +rep for a good story
That hood thing happened 2 times in the family grand caravan scary though i thought the glass was going to shatter plus it happened the first time when we were passing someone and the second on a small bridge. That story was funny though.

I had a worst days 3 days in a row June 20 -June 23 2000. Started out with me going on a job interview. On my way in they walked me past the kitchen where i got splashed with redsause. I did the best i could but instead of it coming off it looked like my shirt just had a grease stain. After the interview the guy told me i might wanna think about getting some new cloths (always a good feeling). On my way home i was coming up on a Stop light and my tire blew out and i wound up rearended an Excursion @ give or take 45mph and i totaled my lil 88 nova Which i had just dropped 3k for a new engine for not 1 month earlier. Well that landed me in the hospital no broken bones or any thing i just had an adrenilan rush that lasted like 2 days and a steering wheel shaped bruise on my gut. my friends were visiting me in the hospital and well because i was wearing a gown the way i was sitting in the bed they all got a good peek @ my junk. I had no idea untill my buddie informed me after all the relitives came by. I also found out my buddie John was in the hospitol and had died because of a wrong medication. So yeah that was fun.

Well heres my bad day. Hit a cat going 55 mph this morning around 4:00. $1380 in damage. Cat lived but was really messed up. Made a bed for it on my passenger side floorboard. Had to wait over 2 hrs for animal rescue league to show up. The thing wouldn't let me leave its sight. Even "kneaded" when I pet it. Ribs had to be crushed- breathing weird. Back legs didnt work and some blood dripping out of its nose. When it tried to purr it was gargled like blood in its lungs. Eyes were kinda messed up. Absolutly horrible. Being a cat lover Im hoping the best for that animal. I was going to get pics of my friends saturn today but with my car leaking coolant and temps running about 15-20 degrees higher..I think both of our cars are out of commssion for now.

He/she was doing a tad better by the time animal rescue came, but I don't know. I'm going to call them on monday to see if they found the owner (and if she is ok). I have 3 cats and they are my lil buddies. I would pay anything to make them better. I even felt like I owed it to the cat to take ownership and bring it to the animal hospital. But me with 3 cats and my girl with 2. We already already have a zoo on our hands. I'm feeling it will be put to sleep. Might be the best thing for it.
Hey guys thanks for the rep. I like that little green square. At first I didn't even realize what it was. Now I want two.

Hey..thanks for twisting the knife deeper. I actually thought the same thing. But it may cost a fortune. Animal rescue lady said it could top a thousand with no guarantee of it living. Or It could cost next to nothing. All depends on whats injured. With 5 cats and twins on the way I already have a mad house on my hands. Keep in mind I only live in a 1480 sq/ft apartment. Im not Hugh Heffner. Rest assured, this will probably haunt me for a very very long time. If anyone wants to help out, I will be glad to make it as easy as possible to obtain the cat. But move fast, I'm sure the'll put it down very soon.

Robesonia. I was on 222 right after the Toms and redners intersection. heading the walmart direction. I used to live in Flying Hills. Kinda close to you. And It better not have been your cat. This has been traumatising enough. I mean its an animal. Get over it. It's almost like the cat was thinking - "ok, I'm going to die" "And I'm going to be as sweet as possible to him to make him suffer for the rest of his life"
