THE TRUTH ABOUT: Christmas bad day fails accidents - The Untold Story

The first day, we suspected it was Jehovah's Witnesses (the only people approaching the house that day). The second day, we thought it might be kids just outside the camera's view. On the third day, we found out who it was. I had no idea rabbits could produce such clean cuts. 

This is not across the street. This is the block over. Best of our picture-taking contest, the power of Christ was too great for our phones to depict this behemoth in all its 20 ft glory.

Thank you, dear Santa, for my new Christmas smile!

I sent my sister a stockpot and claimed other home goods for Christmas (she just got an apartment and has nothing for her kitchen).

She came home to find her package looked like it had been run over. The guy at the front desk who took the package in said the delivery driver seemed supremely uninterested in the problematic package. Getting it refunded and a new one sent over, hopefully in better condition and in time for Christmas.

Bonus cat in the pic too. Say hello to Star.

The firefighters told us it was faulty wiring. My husband overheard them talking to each other and they were discussing the duplex. They think it used to be one home they split in two, that they updated the other side but didn’t bring our side up to code. The fire started up in the attic apparently and went down through the furnace. It collapsed the ceiling and put a handful of holes in the roof. Both of the closets got eaten into by flames. Still trying to process it all for sure.

Public service announcement to be extra careful when purchasing gifts this Christmas time, especially expensive ones. Thought I could trust buying a phone through Amazon directly (not some third party), but I was wrong.

Meticulously swapped and stolen somewhere along the way, then spent a week fighting with customer service in which I was blamed, told I was lying, and threatened to have my account closed before they gave in.

Do not be like me, buy from trusted sources.

Ball python, leopard gecko, and some baby mice.

This was after I used my shop-vac to suck up some of the water, it was 3 inches deep. The water literally shot a hole through my wall, the outdoor hose spigot is what burst. It went from -36° to 34° in a single night. 

A herniated disc, yeah. Saw a pain specialist recently, and they said it was "impressive".
 
I threw my back out over Christmas carrying in a bunch of presents while visiting my parents. Felt better after a few days of rest, but it came back in the worst way.

He leaves if I’m not working, has asked me out on a date twice, and said the offer is open if my boyfriend and I split. Creepy yet sad.
 
The card says:
"Nina, there is no better gift than you being you! Beautiful in more ways than I can describe. Merry Christmas. Chris"

He played on it the whole damn time. Didn’t even get a high score.

A coworker came up to me after and said, "I thought it was funny".

We checked into the hotel he was staying at to use the shower only for a ceiling pipe to burst SECONDS after we opened the door.

She's six and I wanted her to learn how to write her name along with her sisters.

A throw pillow with the CEO's face on it or a blanket with the CEO's face on it.

I should have looked closer before getting excited. I don't own an oculus.

The paper had a “Thank you for being part of the team” yada yada yada note.

Took her to a school parking lot at 10 pm so I could ensure no other vehicles would be in our way. Apparently, my ball joint gave out. I’m so grateful she was only going 20 mph. But I’m so screwed. The tow alone caused me to use all the savings I had set aside for Christmas. Looks like we are getting a ball joint and possibly an axle for Christmas this year boys.

Managed to scoop up the oven-top bits but all the red wine sauce was unsalvageable. Still had a good dinner though.

Despite a year of record profits, the executives at Coles decided that the frontline staff who work their hardest and face mistreatment daily, are only worthy of a Coles-branded water bottle and 5 "points" (equivalent to $5) for Christmas this year.

This kick in the face comes after months of enforcing staff bag checks and locker inspections despite the sheer number of customers who walk out with trolleys full of stock every day, with barely any action taken about it.

What an absolute joke. Do better, Coles.

This actually happened as I lifted the end up while trying to get the truck bed up. Was gonna use the gate to keep it forward. Straps were going on top. Gave the gate a push to get it to close and heard a pop. Knew immediately what I had done.

There are slight size differences, and then there is this.

We’ve tried the fork method, but it’s just not coming off.

I was busy decorating and decided to order more from Michaels via Instacart. The shopper didn’t even ask about changes and I got this, both were more expensive too. I also tipped over 20%.

Lovely Elf on the Shelf activities at a large thrift store non-profit. Accurate reflection of pay, benefits, and work environment.

My property manager comes into my house every 3 months to take pictures of EVERYTHING. If I reschedule they charge $50!

She said she wanted all of the Christmas presents gone tomorrow morning, so I unwrapped them all and packed them up. The ones wrapped in flowers were mine to her. The ones in trucks were hers to me.

Her gifts to me are regifted items every year. But this one takes the cake and left me scratching my head.

For the past 4 years, I’ve gotten $1000 in Amazon gift cards. This year was candy and $100 to Walmart.

Bless her heart. I’m not even mad at her, it’s the thought that counts.

Loved that thing too. On top of that, my Christmas order was returned because I mixed up my old zip code with the new one. I blame it on today being Monday.

Tried less paint with the reindeer hand prints, did not come out any better.

I’m returning it in case it is region-locked. It’s for a 10-year-old kid so it’s not worth risking the disappointment of it not working, and the replacement won’t get here until after Christmas.
