The worst thing to do first thing in the morning?

[Nimbor]

I am absolutely sure it is reading the newspapers. They are so full of negative things that I feel depressed even before my first cup of coffee. I dunno if I ought to have posted this here in the "World Affairs" section, but I feel this is very much a "world affair."

Getting up out of bed and stubbing your toe against something. Instantly indicates the days going to be bad and you may aswell just stay in bed.

Lifting firewood to load the outside boiler. Some days the muscles and old bones just ache before you even start.

Doing heroin first thing in the morning might be a little worse, but I get what you're saying. As for reading the newspaper, yes, it is very depressing, but surely you are still probably bound to have a better day than the people in the papers who the bad news is actually happening to. Just sayin'.

I wouldn't know about the worst thing to do in the morning, but from my experience, these come close:

• Tripping and falling down
• Having a cardiac arrest (my roommate has arrythmia. It happened a few times.)
• Hungover AND discovering that your time of the month began (happened to my girlfriend)
• Waking up in a pile of puke, ash and what COULD have been pig entrails (it was a hell of an afternon)
• Waking up and discovering that you have no coffee left. This one is by far the worst.

The worst thing in the morning is to fall from the ladder of my bunk while climbing it down. After that everthing goes wrong...

I can put all of these together to make a "perfect" worst thing scenario... Waking up with a hangover an hour late for work. The baby's crying and you're out of coffee and cigarettes (and toilet paper)! Then you turn on the news and see disaster after disaster! The start to a wonderful day!:jk

waking up to find the dog pooped on your bed while you were asleep

Your dog should absolutely invest in diapers...Sometimes we all get to a point where time put us back in diapers. Your dog might also need counseling. It's emasculating.

The worst thing to happen to you when you first wake up is getting a charlie horse. I remember when I use to get charlie horses getting out of bed all the time. It almost happened to me on a day to day basics. They put you in excruciating pain for about 2 mins.

Cook food to eat. I just want the food already prepared for me and ready to eat. lol. Nothing worst than waking up hungry and than you have to pull out pots and pans and start cooking and eyes barely open. Trying to crack eggs so the shell won't fall into the pan and you end up having egg shells in your mouth. Damn morning!

Forgetting to put the heating and water on timer, so it's freezing cold (during winter). And you only realise this when you're either in the shower or washing your hair. You can't be bothered or have no time to turn the water on so you just have a cold one. Wakes you up but very unpleasant!
