Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Wine about it
Today, I knocked over and broke one of two very expensive wine bottles. As I was using the mop to clean it up, the handle knocked over and broke the other. FML

Today, I spent 2 minutes struggling to cork a wine bottle for one of my tables only to have them eventually point out to me that the bottle was a twist-off. FML

Today, I saw that the wine bottle I couldn't open last night had a big hole in the top from my struggle to open it. It was a screw top. I must've been drunker than I thought last night. FML

Today, at the winery, my boss proudly made a spectacle of the new, high quality bottles. After over a year of employment without breaking a bottle, I shattered three before lunch. FML

Today, I received a very expensive bottle of wine for Christmas. My alcoholic mother snuck into my house while I was out and drank the whole bottle. FML

Today, while waiting on tables at work, I was carrying a glass of red wine when I lost balance and spilt it everywhere. After cleaning the floor and myself up and after refilling a new glass, I did exactly the same thing again. FML

First impressions
Today, I went over to my girlfriend's parents house for dinner. This was the first time I was meeting them, so I bought a $70 bottle of red wine to try and impress them. I tried to be smooth while popping the cork. I did, but the bottle slipped and red wine poured onto their white carpet. FML

Today, it was my first day at work as a waitress. The day ended with me owing my employers money, after I accidentally smashed an expensive bottle of wine on the floor. FML

Today, a man tried to rob the winery I worked at by knife-point. I managed to scare him off by throwing a bottle of wine at him. My boss fired me because I broke a $25 bottle of wine. FML

Well thats one way to get it open.

Why would anyone need to buy a $400 bottle of wine? Being a cheap ass myself I found a delicious tasting one for about $4. And sure, I get paying as much as $80 for wine... but 400? That's just a waste of money. Remember, a higher price doesn't always means better taste.

Who the **** drinks 400$ wine

It's all about quality over quantity, even from a non-drinker you are just stupid for spending 400$, unless this was some kind of wedding or special event YDI.

You are one to talk, you don't even know the dollar sign goes in front of the number.

Did anyone think that maybe it had been a bottle of wine that had been in his family, or whatever, for so long that it was that valuable?

Was it one of those giant 6-liters?

That is why you let the waitress open the bottle at titty bars.

OP: invest in a good electric wine bottle opener! Trust me, it is worth it!! No fiddling with a corkscrew, no pulling or tugging, no risking the bottle slipping. It's great. Hold it on top of the bottle, push the button, boom, done. Mine is rechargeable, has a pretty, blue-lit base when it's charging, and it's not very big. I've never lost an expensive bottle, but opening wine can be a pain. PS: there is a HUGE taste difference between grocery store $10 bottles and nice $200-$400 bottles of wine. Not even close. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with some Barefoot or Yellow Tail if you're on a budget, but it cannot compare to the crisp delicious flavor of an excellent $400 bottle of Polly-Fume or Riesling.

thats what you get for spending that much on wine

Your first mistake was buying a $400 bottle of wine. I don't care what vintage it was or what variety, there is no need to spend that much on something like that.
