Today was a hard day… not only my electricity couldn’t be connected because some issues that I didn’t expect, which means I had to call and postpone everything I booked for moving, and my parents were fighting so hard and left each other awful messages in the family group chat (but I can’t quit at this moment because I still need to talk to them about house moving, and they are coming to stay with me for 2 weeks, short term)
And I booked a birthday cake yesterday for today as it’s birthday of my best friend, and other friends also chipped in together for this cake. I was on the mission of picking it up because all others are at work today, I am off work since I am moving.
I arrived at the bakery shop, and they told me they have made a mistake on the book (it’s a stupid mistake - they wrote on the day before instead of today, and the chef read it as I picked up the cake yesterday) and don’t have the cake I ordered. They tried to ask me if I want alternative cake, or they also have smaller individually wrapped cupcakes. I asked them if they can bake one for me right now, but they said the chef has gone home.
I just started bawling my eyes out.
I feel so embarrassed but I just couldn’t stop, I felt nothing worked today and I am just so sad and so tired, and all my friends will get mad at me for not arranging the cake properly.
I don’t know how - but the person at the shop probably got so scared by seeing me bawling my eyes out over a cake, and somehow arranged a cake for me under 5-10 minutes. Maybe they took the cake pre-ordered for another day for me. And they gave me an extra donut.
I left the shop still couldn’t stop and still feel so embarrassed, I am usually quite well tempered, they probably don’t wanna see me in the shop again.
TL;DR: I bawled my eyes out at a bakery shop over a cake and I felt so embarrassed.
