Abstract
Everyone has bad days. But certain days are the worst. The days where everything seems to go wrong. You set the alarm for 6:00 p.m., not 6:00 a.m. You didn’t set the coffee pot, and the café’s line was too long, so you walk into work with a severe lack of caffeine. Your project manager asks you a question you know you answered last week. That annoying co-worker talks over you in a meeting, the chips get stuck in a vending machine, and your rush hour commute takes forty-five minutes longer than expected. Finally, something happens that makes you snap. Maybe you can’t unlock your door. Whatever it is, it would not ordinarily be the type of thing that warrants the dramatic response you inevitably give. You scream, you yell, perhaps you even cry out of frustration. Everyone unfortunate enough to be caught in your wake has the same idea: “What’s with the melodrama? It’s not a big deal.” But you understand this nuisance—though seemingly minor—was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
