Top Ten Indicators of a Suboptimal Day

I am reading John Maxwell’s “The Difference Maker, Making Your Attitude Your Greatest Asset” and came across a list of “You know you will be bad day when” and it gave a list of items. I researched and gleaned from a couple of similar lists on the internet the following top 10, in Letterman-like reverse order:

10. The little league puts you on waivers.

9. Your mother approves of the person you are dating.

8. Your suggestion box starts ticking.

7. Your boss tells you not to bother taking off your coat.

6. Your income tax refund check bounces.

5. You call your wife and tell her that you would like to eat out tonight and when you get home there is a sandwich on the front porch.

4. The singing outside our window is a vulture.

3. When the doctor tells you you’re in fine health for someone twice your age.

2. It costs more to fill up your car with gas than it did to buy it.

1. You turn on the evening news and they are showing emergency routes out of the city.
