What have been some of your life's unpleasant experiences?

[sweep_shot]

Some of my life's unpleasant experiences have been:

- Getting my first speeding ticket. That felt awful.

- Falling from a hill and breaking my right arm.

- Being scammed online while trying to sell Bitcoin.

- Getting fired from a job a few years ago (my fault was I wrote a negative review but forgot to be anonymous).

- Someone hitting me for 43 runs in 1 over (I gave away 7 sixes and 1 no-ball).

=========================================

What about you? What are some of your life's unpleasant experiences?

Indeed.

To be fair, I have only written one bad review like that. Never wrote a negative one again for a company.

Par for the course for pretend sportsmen: Bangladeshi cricketers.

I just experienced a total blackout (power+internet) in our area in extreme heat for 2 days. That too on the occasion of EID.

Still facing same power cut issues here.

Pathetic

I was never a proper sportsman. Used to play tape ball and then a bit of hard ball cricket (lower division of Toronto league).

6 sixes also happened to Stuart Broad. It's all good.

That sucks.

Hard to live without internet for 2 days.

It was not just the internet. There was no electricity as well. LOL

It was like back to stone age days.

Last Saturday, I was outside and saw a skunk with its head stuck in a cup. I tried to help it.

Skunk seemed scared and released its oily yellow liquid on me (skunk's defense mechanism).

I had to throw away my t-shirt because skunk's liquid smell wasn't going away.

Some more unpleasant experiences:

- At my last job, I had to deal with a very difficult female coworker. She had a bad attitude and was blatantly dishonest. Never experienced such a dishonest coworker before anywhere.

- During my high school days (in Toronto), I participated in an indoor football tournament. I was the goalkeeper. We had a match against the teachers one game and I conceded 4 goals. I let my team down. That was also the last football game I played. It was year 2008.

- I once had this super-spicy chicken burger. It was winter (freezing temperature outside) and I was at a park. I suddenly had the urge to defecate but there was no toilet nearby. I tried to rush toward home but I ended up pooping in my pants. I had to throw away my pants because it was soiled badly.

- I bought a nice t-shirt from a local store. I was taking the public bus. Once I returned home, I realized I left the t-shirt in the bus. It was a shame because I really liked the t-shirt.

This is probably due to the 4% south indian DNA lol

LMAO.

Possible.

Watching Amir’s Super Over vs USA and Imad’s innings vs India.

I am a big Amir fan and I must say Amir's over vs USA was painful to watch. He lost the plot completely.

He is still a world class bowler but he really messed it up in that game.

being broke, worst feeling ever, early 20s, total loser, no job, no income, stay at home recluse. I had less than £100 in my account at one point, and watching all my friends, whom I had stopped hanging out with, living their lives while listening to indirect comments from extended family members about me being lazy or not looking hard enough, or having too high standards, was horrible. took me years to get over that psychologically.

Interesting.

I got rejected by my high school crush in 2012. I wasn't very religious at that time and I was trying to make her my girlfriend.

Anyway, those days are gone. I have started to be a practicing Muslim from 2015. Alhamdulillah. I no longer seek haram relationships. I now want a wife who wears a hijab and who has good Islamic values.

I know that feeling of getting bullied by family members.

I had some really nasty and toxic relatives. They gave me a hard time in my 20's.

I can't cut them off as Islam doesn't permit cutting off relatives. So, I try to avoid them without cutting them off. I only text 2 Eid Mubaraks during the 2 Eids. No other interaction.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I don't dwell on them. You either win or learn .

I do sometimes dwell on how I may have behaved to other people, but I have repented and asked for forgiveness.

i wouldnt call it bullying, its just desi culture, relatives talk. it is what it is. i was lucky that most of my family dont live in the same city or country as me, so it was usually from a distance, and easy enough to avoid.

Seems like a pretty epic success story from what you’ve posted about where you are now in other threads, Allah Humma Barik, how did you manage to turn it around?

Yes. Malicious gossipping, spreading rumors etc.

Can cause a lot of conflicts and hurts.

i got very lucky, a family contact eventually got me an interview for an internship, when i say lucky, it wasnt just that, i got rejected from my first interview and they sent me to a second team cos the first team didnt want me, the first team got sacked within 12 months of me being their, the second ended up eventually becoming the most important part of the business. eventually i found out even the second team didnt want me either, but the boss thought whats the worse that could happen, and hed have a favour to hold over the family friend.

i never looked back, i was so scared of being in that situation i worked and worked, didnt care about the money, didnt care about doing all nighters, i was just grateful that i wasnt where i was. theres loads of other stuff too, but generally i got lucky breaks, got a lot of support from my parents and i worked really hard.

to put this into perspective by this point i had applied to more than a thousand jobs over multiple years, and gotten to the final interview stage of maybe 3 or 4.

Your persistence and hardwork paid off. Well done.

When I was in grade 2 or grade 3 (I was in Bangladesh at that time), I accidentally farted in classroom. My classmate heard it. We laughed and then talked about something else. That was an awkward experience.

Another unpleasant experience was when I was in grade 11 (in Canada). I twisted my knee while playing football during lunch break. That injury has remained with me till this day. I now have to watch when I run or jog.
