That's Just Plain Bad

You think your day is terrible? Well, lemme tell ya about the absolute worst. I'm talking a level of disaster that would make a hurricane look like a Sunday picnic. It all started when I went outside, and things just went haywire from there. First, my coffee was cold, then my car decided to break down. And that's before I even get into the traffic...

• How has it shaped your decisions since then?
