This is a question Now, there was no need for that...

Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

there was really no need for that...
When I was 14, our biology teacher scheduled an extra-credit saturday field trip to look at tide pools. I really wanted the extra credit (looking back...I don't know why, as I had an A in the class), but on the day of the field trip, I came down with a horrible case of the flu. Cue chills, stuffy nose, and cough. I took an aspirin and was sent on my merry way.

The day went fine, besides the fact that I felt like crap, lots of looking at little fish, crabs, and other fun things, but on the hike back to where the buses were parked, I slipped and fell down an algae-covered cliff. Now I was cold, wet, sick, the entire right side of my body was covered in algae, and my cruel classmates were mocking my misfortune.

I played it off like it was no big deal, stood up, and took three steps, only to slip down a second algae covered cliff, this time coating the left side of my body in the stuff.

There was no need for that.
