Here is a list of things that are bad. A lot of them are the little things
that can turn your day upside down, and others are Murphy's Law in action.
Almost all are lighthearted, though, and you may smile reading them, if only
because you know exactly what I am talking about. Many of these have an
opposite on the Good Things list.
Things That Are Bad
not enough sleep
more homework than you have time for
not understanding what the blazes your teacher is explaining
record-breaking-ly cold days during winter
enemies
the same song on the radio over and over and over...
accidentally upsetting someone
failing a test that you studied really hard for and thought you did well on.
losing notes off your vocal range the day you really need to reach them
losing things
winter mornings
bad and unflattering pictures
those pictures being in the yearbook
mandatory reading assignments of extremely boring long books
the Macarena for the millionth time
saving money to buy something and discovering that the price went up.
changing diapers
bad videos in school
icy roads
losing a championship in the last round
paper cuts
forgetting homework that you stayed up late to finish
busywork
changing into gym clothes for gym class
gym class
pop quizzes
computer crashes
dead or leaky printer cartridges
accidentally losing or erasing files
oversleeping
missing the bus
being sick
most school lunch
rap
broken backpack zippers
being grounded
out-of-tune pianos
realizing that the song you wrote sounds embarrassingly similar to a
well-known song written by someone else
the new version of the Sesame Street theme song, and all the other changes
they have made to accommodate the "90's children."
This list may be depressing, and you can help lengthen it! Got a gripe?
Thorn in your side? Pet peeves that are scratching at your mental backdoor?
Things that make your blood boil? Let off some steam! Just
By the way, there's a gripe chatroom.
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey.
