OK, I suppose I was a bit distraught at the time.
Background (non-essential but good to know):
The webserver for my blog was down and has been down as of this writing. However, all the evidence pointed to the fault of the web host. When I showed them the traceroute logs, customer support immediately started blaming my ISP. I tried accessing my blog on my smartphone and also had friends try who had different ISPs and none of them could connect. When I pointed this out, my web host mocked me and continued to hammer that I need to blame my ISP.
Nevertheless, since I've got no background in IT, I let it slide since even if it's their problem, they're probably working hard trying to fix it. However, that put me in a sour mood for the rest of the day.
Main FU:
I tend to be "lazy" when it comes to shopping and go on a single trip and get everything I need for the week instead of hitting the store every few days. After work today, I shopped at my local grocery store, Costco, and the petstore (in that order.) If you've ever shopped at Costco, you know that they don't provide you with bags and you might get cartons if you're lucky or bought a ridiculous number of items (which I didn't and hence, didn't get any boxes either.)
When I finished my shopping trip and pulled into the parking lot for my condo, I proceeded to bring my goods home. The bag from the grocery store (stop 1) was already starting to rip but luckily, I found a spare bag in my car and transferred everything into that bag. I then tried carrying that huge bag of groceries in one hand and a bucket of cat litter in the other and contemplated how I'd move the rest of my goods into the house.
While I was in the house after delivering the first batch of goods, I took this red bag I got from Target (you know those that will save you $0.05 every time you use it at checkout.) I stuffed a carton of 18 eggs and two half-gallon cartons of juice (bonded together) into that bag. I took that bag in one hand and a box of 90 trashbags plus 24 cans of cat food (on top of the box) in the other hand. Yes, it was a bit too much but I was determined not to have to make a 3rd trip out to the car!
When I got to the door, I started hearing some crunching sounds in my Target bag. It turns out the cartons of juice were pressing against the carton of eggs since the eggs were at the bottom but placed sorta on an angle and the gravity caused the juice cartons to bend my carton of eggs. I made it inside my home and tried setting down everything but the sheer weight caused me to lose balance. As I lost balance, my Target bag fell flat on the floor with the eggs crunched right between the cartons of juice and the ground.
I managed to recover about 6 of the 18 eggs and my Target bag was a eggoplasmic mess so I just threw it into the trash.
Oh well.. at least I saved myself an extra trip to the car hauling groceries which would have put me over the edge after what happened this morning with the server.. eggs aren't that expensive anyways.
