Self-Sabotage For Laughs (your reward)

81) When saying prayers, feel totally sad about the situation you pray about. You’ll wonder why you’ve been experiencing and praying about it for decades.

82) Paid thousands of dollars for that dream holiday. Then keep worrying about the cost, the weather, the flight, the kids, the hotel, and you wind up sick before the trip and stressed out after.

83) Ever wonder why you get on the skates in the rink talking to yourself, “Do not fall”, you end up on your butt?

84) You yell, “Don’t fall” as you ski down the hill, they find you in a face-plant position.

85) You’re afraid of losing that inheritance. What would the relations say? So you worry and worry and at last pick a fund to put it all in. The stock market nose dives the next day.

86) Got that brand spanking new dream car. You think “…don’t scratch, don’t crash, careful, hit nothing” all day long. A truck remodeled it for you in the parking lot.

87) Kid wants that video game console for his birthday. You think it’s a good idea but with trepidation. You search the stores to find a cheapie. You find one. Unwrapping the present, it does not play his games.

88) You cut yourself shaving – curse; stubbed your toe – curse; ripped your pants – curse; ran out of gas – curse; late for work – curse; argued with boss – curse; traffic jam – curse; threw self in bed – CURSE…dog pooped in it. Should have stayed in bed.

89) Walk on a nice warm holiday beach. “It’s dark. Hope I don’t fall into the water.” A huge errant wave washes right over you and sexy date.

90) You declare, “I never catch anything each time I go fishing, but not this time!” Your SUV gets stuck in the mud launching your bass boat. Fishing rods break on some tree branches and boat floats away down river.

91) Doing a high dive. “Feet first and/or swan dive?” A magnificent leap ending with an almighty belly flop. Girlfriend pretends she doesn’t know you.

92) Borrowed Dad’s Corvette for 16th birthday. Mum and Dad reminds you all week, “Never drive too fast; never drink and drive; never show off to your date.” You show off by driving too fast after you polish off a bottle of vodhka on a bet and gift wraps Dad’s Corvette around a tree. Police chief bans you from ever giving his daughter another ride.

93) Take family and go off-roading in SUV to the other side of the river for camping. “Please don’t rain, please don’t rain,” mantra chanted for the whole week. Spend the weekend getting SUV out of the river with a very cold family.

94) You’re late for the meeting and serve the coffee, “Don’t spill, don’t spill.” Your boss is contemplating making you pay for a new suit.

95) You’re angry mum made you dig up the flower bed because you fear you’ll miss your beach outing. The shovel breaks. You spend the rest of the day using the hand trowel.

96) You’re hyped, go out with the guys. You don’t want a hooker, an ugly out of shape girl, no under-aged or aged females, not mouthy, etc. You spy a gorgeous blonde at the bar. After drinks and giving your best pitch, she utters, “Thanks! I’m a cross dressing actor” in a very masculine voice.

97) Arrogant and sexy, you buy a body hugging mini one size too small. In front of the gala crowd you drop your purse. Picking it up rewards you with a rip and a cooled derriere.

98) You’re impatient and frustrated the turkey is taking too long. You max the oven heat. Congratulations! Charred black on the outside and dripping red on the inside.

99) Rude boss yells at secretary to rent a vehicle to pick up corporate director. “No coupe’s, no space restrictions, not too sexy, not too expensive, no SUVs, no minivans and not a truck. A yellow school bus was waiting at the airport.

100) Neighbour with electrical lawn mower puts down kid struggling and sweating with hand powered model. Bragger runs over the electrical cord. Braggart loses power.

101) Early winter and Mum looks out at pond. “Look Mum, I’m walking on water!” Mum thought so as thin ice sometimes looks like water. “Peter! Get off the pond! You’re not Jesus”. Boy falls into pond and wets his feet.

Well ok, I just couldn’t help it. I ran out of Self-Sabotaging stuff. But I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did getting it all down. I found it fun actually. Cheers to self-growth!
