Now That's a Bad Day
March 9, 2012 Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the Volvo is lost...
;)
You tell me your blue skies fade to grey
Your baker still hates you, too, they say
;)
But I don't need no carryin' on!
You fall in the line just to hit a new low
;)
You pretend that you meant to, but everyone knows
You tell me it's hard working here offline
Your coworkers mock you all the time
;)
But I don't need no carryin' on!
So you had a bad day
You're itching downtown,
;)
You sing a sad song just to drown out the sound!
You say you must know,
You tell me don't lie,
;)
Then you work on a smile and you opt for the pie.
You had a bad day!
;)
Now that's a bad day.
Thanks to wreckporters Connie L., Deborah P., Melissa F., Fribby, Monique R., Anony M., & Rachel B. for inspiring a new CW policy: from now on, we want any and all apologies handwritten. ON CAKE.

The last cake is THE BEST! I can think of at least 3 awful things I did in my past that I should have sent an apology cake for...
Gah...now that song will be stuck in my mind for the rest of the day. Thaaaaaaaaanks.
Ok, now that I'm done laughing... all I can think is: poor cat!
Any excuse for sugar and frosting huh? I would LOVE to know the story about the herpes cake-the little frowny face just makes it XD
My squashed teacher heart.
The past perfect tense, people!
Use your helping verbs!
Now anytime I leave a job/school/city and I DON'T get a "you're dead to us now" cake, I'm going to wonder if that means they don't love me.
The use of the word "seen" makes me want to suicide.
On the bright side- they got "you're" and "your" correct!
At least now I know what to do if I ever projectile vomit on someone's cat! I can't stop laughing about that one. Every time I do, I imagine the cat's reaction, and start laughing again. I hope the poor kitty got some sort of compensation, too.
The song along with the pictures was awesome!!! Made my day. I pictured it as a slow and sad video montage, and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. So you do both. Excellent!
Just, WOW!
I hope they bought something nice for the cat, too.
While I hope never to have reason to receive (or send) a cake that says "I'm sorry I projectile vomited all over your apartment and cat," it does have a certain poetry to it.
Sharyn sez:
"I hope they bought something nice for the cat, too."
You and I both, Sharyn.
This is better than sending somebody dead roses after a split. Love the idea.
I suppose if you have to receive bad news, might as well be in the form of cake. At least the cake can be a form of consolation.
Seen... Really? I think someone needs a refresher class in grammar!
Nobody loves you.
Hearty fingerprints result
in quite the slap-print.
Projectile vomit
Poor kitty needs a cake too
Litter box cake please!
But at least they were almost all spelled correctly and with correct grammar. (you're and your) And who doesn't like an excuse to have cake?? and that poor cat...
OMG, Everyday I can't wait to see what you have to share and today's made me spit my coffee at my computer screen it was so funny!! Thanks for the laughs!!
Laughing!!! Can't... stop... laughing... I love every one of these!!
*ROFL* LOVELOVELOVELOVE! These are hilarious! I was reading that last one and it made me think I was reading an apology (before I got the cat part) from my besty who threw up on me on a ride at the state fair! :) I would have LOVED getting a cake for that! As for the rest, well, if you're going to be snarky, be snarky in cake!
Oh God, all I can think about is the cat!!!
As someone who has had to clean my apartment after another person had horrible food poisoning (though it was just all over the floor and couch, we don't have a cat), I would have appreciated a cake as compensation. As opposed to nothing, which is what I got.
Now I want to sing this to a slideshow of these. But I won't, because it's your intellectual property and all that. But this was freakin' awesome.
I'm sitting here laughing out loud, which is a little embarrassing. People are staring at me.
I love how pretty cake #3 seems. Your expectations rise with the awkward apology, and then (cue music from 2001: Space Odyssey) the grammar fail!
What are those weird donut things around the candles, btw?
Because nothing says "I'm sorry" like sprinkles.
Reminds me of the time I got food poisoning and projectile vomited all over my first boyfriend's car. Embarrassing! Maybe, I should have gotten him that cake.
I thought that first one said, "Sorry about your cayacking". : - )
I don't know how you do it, Jen! Brilliant.
These cakes have renewed my faith in humanity and bakers (except the "seen it" one).
@Haiku Joy: I had to go back and look for those "Hearty Fingerprints". : - D
@Sharyn: Perhaps they bought the cat a tiny machine gun?
Geez, that song makes me want to vomit... projectile-ly... same with the [one, to be fair] grammar fail. Are you trying to make me owe someone cake?
In other news, at first glance I thought "Earjacking? That's a bad day indeed."
In high my friends and I had a tradition to get each other silly sheet cakes when someone was having a really bad day. The first was supposed to say "Peppy people suck" after I got fired from my minimum wage job for being "insufficiently peppy" but the place wouldn't write "suck" so they put "stink" instead.
Later we asked for a cake for my non-diabetic friend that said "good luck with your diabetes." The decorator said "you know they can't eat this, right?" and we replied that they could look at it. The really funny part was that they wrecked it! It wound up saying "Good luck with you diabets!" we always said it as though "diabets" was a name. Good luck with you, Diabets!
We have a co-worker leaving us next week to work at another branch. I'm campaigning to get him a copy of cake #4.
You guys have really outdone yourself with the commentary this time! I think it's the best I've ever seen! *wiping away tears* Thanks for the laughter!
Who would ever say something like "nobody loves you"???!!! And to go through the whole effort of having it put on a cake.
Some people are so sad and evil.
So the time I ordered a going away cake that read "Good Riddance" isn't such a bad thing. It was done as a joke, sort of. He quit just as the busiest time of year was starting and we couldn't afford to be down a person.
Cats always get their pound of flesh. Unless they've been declawed.
#3 You'll be even sorrier, now that approximately 1.2 bazillion people 'seen' that cake.
#5 Awww. You shouldn't have. REALLY.
#6 I expect the recipient responded in kind.
(I know the song just well enough to recognize it, but not for it to get stuck. [grin])
I'm getting an idea to send a cake to my former co-workers, who are going to be dealing with some major software upheaval because of vendor(s) ineptitude. I'm thinking "I'm sorry suck". And I'd make sure it had sprinkles!
BTW Cakewrecks community - going back a couple of days to the Theodore Saga. I read all of the "Walter is an awesome name (as is Theodore)" comments to my young Walter, and I wish you could have seen the smile on his face. THANK YOU underneat that ALL in red. Draw a heart.
Even if all of these are inside jokes rather than actual apologies (we can hope, right?), they and this post, are absolutely hilarious!
I'm crying laughing at that last one. Can you imagine the look on the baker's face when they got the order? You want me to write what?? HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
Yes, the cat would have been horrified! If you have to vomit on a pet, go for the dog. Dog's don't care...to them, vomit is simply another food group. If you own a dog you know it's the truth.
HAHAHHAA, oh, God, this post was so what I needed right now. The "you're dead to us now"-cake made me laugh out loud. Thank you for brightening my evening. :D
But...if nobody loves you, why'd somebody shell out for a cake? And a pretty fancy one, at that.
Methinks someone protests too much.
When a card just won't convey the right feelings....
...And the all-time winner in the category "Ultra-Specificity To The Point of Ridiculousness" is... CAKE NUMBER SEVEN!!!! (cue canned applause)...
...and cat!!! aha ha ha
I hate to say it, but with the exception of the Nobody Likes You inscription - is that princess crown actually a well executed CCC?
all i can think is 1. disturbing. and 2. AWWWW poor kitty
