What's your "It cannot possibly get worse" moment, that actually got worse?

October 2011. Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex.

I had flown out to Nevada for work just after the World Series started. I watched game 5 from the hotel. Got a call from my then-girlfriend, who was at the stadium with another guy on a not-at-all platonic date. Guess who just found out he was now single?

Flight home a couple days later is massively delayed. My luggage gets lost. I don’t get home until maybe 5am or so and, because my boss is a dick, I still have to be at the office at 8. I don’t sleep.

Meet up after work with a group of friends to watch game 6 of the World Series (we were all Rangers fans). Agony. Then elation. Then agony. Then elation. Then fuck you David Freese levels of agony. Rangers went on to lose game 6 and game 7. It was a solid year at least before I could stand watching baseball again.
