When life gives us a bad joke

I brought this folder of documents today before heading to work. The documents are to be submitted to the office of the cooperative where I’m a member and it was carefully filled out free of dirt, creases and wrinkles. I would like to submit a neatly filled out document every time I do this sort of thing. It should be presentable. However, I don’t have a good luck for today. While my right hand is holding the folder, I need to get some cash that I tucked in the pocket inside my bag. My left hand was not able to unzip the bag alone so I tried to support it with my right hand with the folder in it at the other end. Unfortunately, the folder slips and dropped to the ground with water able to wet the side of all the papers clipped as one. The inks from prints on the wet parts quickly scattered smearing the documents. I just sundried it for a while but it’s no longer neat and clean as it used to be.

Sometimes it feels like we need more than one pair of hands. I have this trouble when I go shopping and I have to struggle with my purse and find bags to put the shopping in and getting my rewards card out, while all the time the lady at the till is standing there impatiently holding her hand out for the money and raising her eyes to the ceiling as if I am being too slow or she has more important things to do than serve me.

So mean for that lady. It happened quickly and the next thing I saw is it's down there and wet.

@lazydaizee I don't have enough time to change it so I just dried it under the sun and submitted the document. It's not that bad and can be use to but I don't like it.

@ZedSmart Will you still be able to use the documents or will you have to replace them?

It sometimes happens if your hands are reflexed and you are not aware that the documents is dropped.

Happens to everyone! Sometimes luck is just not on our side. It’s so annoying though.

Yes, it's really annoying. When you thought everything is OK but then a ruining situation comes surprisingly.

I just can't imagine how it happened and it's so quick. Yes, I should be mindful next time.

What a shame. These things happen so easily and so quickly.

That's right Ms. Judy and there's no way I can do to prevent it from getting wet.
