Ever just have one of ''those'' days? Where things just [[It Got Worse|go from bad to worse]]? [[Disaster Dominoes|Everything that could go wrong does go wrong]]? Does [[Humiliation Conga|the entire world]] [[Butt Monkey|have it in for you]]? Or have you just had enough of being [[Surrounded by Idiots]]?

== Fan Fic Works ==
* [http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/9227 This]{{Dead link}} ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' fic features ''Carth'' of all people saying something to this effect.
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic, ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'', Professor McGonagall goes into the bar for a drink after a long day of taking Harry shopping for school supplies. ''[[Justified Trope|This]] [[Insufferable Genius|is]] [[Weirdness Magnet|perfectly]] [[The Chessmaster|justified]].''
* Said by George (without the “freaking” part) in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'' after John reveals his wings to him. The four then proceed to a bar and get trashed (except for John, who can't any more).
* One ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic, "''Once Bitten, Twice Shy"'', gave this reaction to ''[[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]]'' of all ponies on a disastrous [[Not a Date|not-date]] with Twilight Sparkle. After one setback, Rarity gives her a glass of wine to help get her confidence up. Following a particularly stressful incident, Fluttershy ''drains'' most of the wine bottle and has to be magically sobered up before she's able to stand, let alone go back into the restaurant.
* In ''[[The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle]]'', Twilight Sparkle has this reaction to a movie studio's legal team trying to intimidate her into signing over the rights to her likeness for a movie the Great and Powerful Trixie is making. It probably didn't help that Twilight had thoroughly embarrassed herself in front of Trixie several times earlier in the fic.
* In a ''[[Bleach]]'' fanfic called "''Saying I Will"'', the final major arc of the story has Byakuya drinking a 1000-year old Sake after finding out that {{spoiler|Ichigo is the deceased Soul King's nephew and is next in line for the throne. Made worse by the fact his reaction is all recorded on tape.}}
* In ''[[Through a Diamond Sky]]'', as Flynn's working on escaping his captors, he remarks to himself that he needs a nap, a cold beer, and a ''long'' talk with his wife; not necessarily in that order.
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130813213433/http://www.fimfiction.net/story/16112/whispers Whispers]'', the mere mention of [[Royal Brat|his brothers]] is enough to get Arcanus chugging on wine without looking back, despite insisting ''a few seconds ago'' that he doesn't care for it.
