Not a hellish story, per se. But I will always remember it! We got up on Christmas morning only to find our poodle chewing the head off of Baby Jesus in our manger display. She had already snacked on the Virgin Mary.
Bought a new car for my wife yesterday. I wanted to have it parked in the driveway tomorrow morning and had a big bow in the back cargo area.
I parked it two streets over, near the cul-de-sac so there was no chance she'd see it. Today I drove by to make sure it was OK, and saw it was pushed up on the grass.
The whole back end had been wiped out, glass shattered, the bumper was hanging off, and the bow was sticking out the tailgate. Apparently a snow plow had come along and "plowed" in to it over night.
I had it towed back to the dealership and have nothing else to give my wife tomorrow morning.

I had been dating a guy for about six months when my birthday came around. Very generously, he hosted a dinner at a restaurant for me and several friends. It came time to pass around the birthday cards so everyone could see the birthday wishes. My boyfriend started passing his card to me around the table. Everyone was chuckling. Then, it got to me and it said on the cover, "What explains your rosy glow of youth?" Inside: "Must be all that masturbation." I was mortified. He claims he had never participated in the tradition of passing the card around the table. Even so, I thought it a terribly unromantic card for a first birthday together.
The idea for the Hellidays site actually arose from an awful mishap on my part that caused me to lose the friendship of my best friend. He and his partner invited me to Thanksgiving. The next day, I erroneously sent an email to said friend detailing how awful the dinner was. The turkey was "as dry as sawdust" was one of the highlights. Though I begged forgiveness, we didn't speak for many years and only now have tentatively begun communicating again. It was wrong, bad, horrible and I will never get over it.
This story was told to me by a friend.
My friend had a classic upper-middle class American upbringing, complete with a large, stately home in an affluent suburb. A permanent fixture in the home was their dog, "bandit." Bandit was a mutt, and was older than most of the kids on the block, but beloved by all.
Thanksgiving was the largest holiday in this particular household. It was the day that all the aunts and uncles, cousins and respective significant others converged to engage in a feast only rivaled by that seen on "The Grinch."
The long Chippendale-esque dining table was fully set, and bulged with nearly 20 guests seated. Still, there was more than enough room for the lady of the house to glide around the table to serve... read more
