Have you lived a rough life, like me?

As you know, I've lived a pretty rough life. I had to fight to protect my lunch money during my grade school days (South Side of Chicago), and many of my friends succumbed to the allure of hard drugs (I did not). I've seen corruption in several places of work, and...well, I could go on...but I won't.
The other night, when I was getting a Bento Box to go from my favorite Japanese sushi place, I noted that one of the pieces of sushi (tuna roll) was BROKEN when I got home. I started singing the blues in my head, and wondered if I should return to the sushi place and demand a "whole" tuna roll.
But I was hungry, so I ate it instead. As I was eating, sipping wine, and singin' the blues, a certain blues song came into my head. I may have posted it here before.
Have you had it rough life, like me? Was childhood tough? Have you ever had a tube in your $3,000 power amplifier go bad? Have you had a flat tire on your Porsche? Have you ever had broken sushi?
Let's sing the blues together! I'll attach the song I started singing. Life is tough, and sometimes you just have to sing about it. Tell me your saddest stories. I'm a good listener.
A real funny parody of the song "Everyday I have the blues. I do not own the music or the photos used in this video. No copyright infringement intended. I do...

@andriaperry My Grandma told me stories. She provided soup for neighbors who weren't as lucky as she was.

@TheHorse Yeah. I ordered a junior bacon cheeseburger with just tomato and lettuce on it, but when I bit into it, I noticed there was Miracle Whip on it. I ate it anyway.

Not as bad as this guy singing, LOL. If it was only as bad as his.
I will say we all have had our share, but I can always find someone worst off than I am, so I refuse to sing the blues.

@andriaperry Nah, I sing the blues because my sushi was broken, I spend a lot of time on hold, and my crazy woman done left me.

@TheHorse That is why you sing the blues because you don`t have a Porsche.

well, life was really tough for me in the past two years. Now, my debts were paid off. I believe my future life will be a little bit easy for me.

My saddest story right now is that I have no money and I'm out of coffee. To quote Elton John...I guess that's why they call it the blues.

I can feel you. If it happens to me , i would also just eat it to satisfy my hunger.
No is spared of having difficult times in our lives. But when we are able to surpass it through hardwork and prayers, we become triumphant and stronger in facing life.

At our Thanksgiving dinner, my friend brought olives and cheese and FORGOT TO PUT THEM ON THE TABLE!!! No more invitation to my dinner for her. Sorry about your sushi. Life can be tough.

I had a pretty easy life. The hardest part was living with over-protective parents. I don't really have any sad stories other than my current life. As you know I cried the blues over having to replace my computer and printer in the same month!
