Hah! No one can top mine unless they have a death in the family today.
Seriously. You want bad days.
Last week was one of my daughter's birthday. For months she's been asking for a hamster as a pet so I decided to get it for her (forgot to ask the hubby for his opinion). I went to PetCo, which is a 20 minute drive from my house, and bought two Teddy Bear Hamsters along with the cage, food, goodies, etc, etc. I spent $106 and some odd change on the hamsters, cage, bedding, toys, etc. After I leave, I go to my store to show the hubby what I bought. PetCo to my business is a 10 minute drive and by the time I get there one of the hamsters ate threw the box. Luckily I was able to see that he did before he got loose so I stick him in the box with the other hamster.
I show the hubby the hamster and go pick up my eldest from volleyball tryouts and head back to pick the hubby up from work. By this time another 20 minutes have passed and the hamsters are fine in their box. We stop off at the grocery store across the street and I remain in the car with the eldest to play with the hamsters. Another 15 minutes pass and we leave for home but of course the eldest needed to get her volleyball to practice so we stop at the sport store near our house. We go and spent about five minutes and we got back into the SUV I noticed the hole in the box. One of the two hamsters had escaped.
We searched and searched for the damn thing and figured the damn thing went up into the dashboard. So I left it water and food to try to bait it out of the SUV. No luck. For several days I check and try to see if the damn thing would come out but no luck. Well I forgot all about the hamster over the last two days (Sunday and Monday) and when I went into my car this morning... I knew the hamster was dead. The SUV smells like an open sewer.
Yup, the damn thing is STILL in my dashboard... dead.
And what's worse... it's been 95+ degree heat the last few days which means the thing is decomposing FAST in my SUV.
Cost to get the dashboard removed to find the damn dead hamster... over $700. But the kicker is that I have wait until FRIDAY to get it done. So, needless to say I can't drive my SUV until that day and need to leave the windows open to keep the stench from permeating the vehicle on a permanent basis.
Least I still have my old van to drive. Glad I never sold it and decided to hold onto it just in case.
So I very much doubt anyone's day can be any worse then mine.
Anyone have $700 to give me?
