There was a picture day at work once. I had planned this really nice outfit, but on my way to the office, I got caught in the rain. By the time I arrived, my clothes were all wet and wrinkled. My hair was also a mess. I looked like a drowned rat in the pictures. Also, one time I had a bad cold on picture day. My nose was red and my eyes were puffy. I just didn't look my best at all.
Well, on a picture day at school, I accidentally spilled coffee on my white shirt right before the photo was to be taken. I had no time to change, so I had to take the picture with a big brown stain on my front. It was so embarrassing. And then there was the time when my little brother drew all over my face with a marker while I was napping, and I didn't realize until it was almost time for the picture. I had to quickly wash my face but still had some marks left.
Sure. One time on picture day, I woke up with a huge pimple right on my nose. No amount of makeup could cover it. I felt so self - conscious all day and was dreading seeing the pictures. Another story is when my hair just refused to cooperate. It was all frizzy and out of place despite my efforts to style it. It made me look like I had just been through a storm.
Sure. One time I woke up late for an important job interview. I rushed to get dressed but spilled coffee on my shirt. Then, I missed the bus and had to wait for the next one in the cold. When I finally got to the interview, I was flustered and didn't perform well.
Well, one bad day I woke up late for an important meeting. I rushed out without breakfast, and then on my way, I got a flat tire. It was just a series of disasters.

Sure. Once I woke up late and had no time to fix my hair. I rushed to work with my hair looking like a bird's nest. It was so embarrassing when people stared at me all day.
One day at work, I was in charge of an important presentation. But just as I was about to start, I realized I left my USB with all the presentation files at home. I had to improvise the whole thing from memory. It was a disaster. The clients were not impressed, and my boss was really disappointed.
One really bad day story was when I woke up late for an important job interview. I spilled coffee on my shirt while rushing to get dressed.

Sure. One of my bad work days was when I had a huge presentation, but the projector broke right before I started. I had to quickly improvise and use a whiteboard instead. It was so nerve - wracking as I didn't have all my visual aids ready.
Well, here's a story. I had planned a picnic. But in the morning, it started to rain heavily. My phone got wet and stopped working. I couldn't call my friends to cancel. It was a really bad day.
One Picture Day story could be about a school Picture Day. The photographer was really funny and made all the students laugh. So, in the pictures, everyone had big, genuine smiles instead of the usual forced ones. It was a great day as those pictures became the best memories of that school year.
One common element is appearance issues. Like having unruly hair, as I had on a day when my curls went wild. Another is clothing problems. For example, getting a stain on your shirt right before the picture. And sometimes it's health - related, such as having a red nose from a cold or puffy eyes from lack of sleep.
