Scenario:The Worst Day Ever is a darkly comedic time-loop film about a man trapped in an endless cycle of misfortune, forcing him to confront his own flaws and reevaluate his life.
The protagonist wakes up to a loud honk outside, checks his phone, and sees a dreaded text from his girlfriend: “We need to talk.” His morning spirals downward—he’s out of toilet paper, the water is shut off, and his routine is a disaster. Things only get worse when he arrives at work an hour late, gets berated by his boss, and deals with a series of nightmare customers. By the end of the day, he’s fired.
Just when he thinks it couldn’t get worse, he receives a phone call informing him that his father has died in an accident. Distraught and looking for comfort, he goes to his girlfriend’s house—only to find her in bed with his best friend. To top it all off, when he returns home, he discovers that his apartment has been broken into and robbed.
Completely defeated, he falls asleep, hoping for a fresh start. But when he wakes up… it’s the same morning again. Confused, he stumbles through the same events, realizing he’s reliving the worst day of his life. At first, he panics. Then, he tries to alter small things—fixing his morning routine, taking a different route to work, handling customers better—but no matter what he does, the core events still happen.
As the loops continue, he desperately tries to prevent his girlfriend from cheating and, most importantly, save his father. He tests every possibility, only to realize that fate seems locked in place. However, through the process, he is forced to confront his own negativity, entitlement, and self-destructive tendencies. The loop isn’t just about stopping bad things—it’s about changing himself.
Just when he believes he’s finally broken free, the film takes a shocking twist: he wakes up, not in a new day, but an entire year in the past—setting up the next chapter, Worst Year Ever.

I woke up to a loud honk outside my window.
I reached to my phone and checked the time; it was 8:30 AM.
I had overslept.
I sat up and quickly brushed my teeth.
Then I went to the toilet to pee, but then I remembered there was no fucking toilet paper.
I would have to stop at the grocery store on my way to work.
I washed my face and ran to the bathroom to quickly brush my hair.
Then I went to take a shower, but shit, the water was fucking turned off.
What the hell?
I was going to be late anyway, so I ran to the gas station to wash my face and brush my hair.
Then I got in my car and drove to work.
When I arrived, my boss yelled at me for being an hour late.
I tried to explain, but he wouldn’t listen.
It was fucking great, just fucking great.
The day had just begun, and it was already shit.
Then things started to get even worse.
We were short-handed, so I had to handle more customers than usual.
One wanted a refund for a pair of shoes that were clearly worn.
Another complained about her kids’ toys being defective, but her kids were just too stupid to turn them on.
A third complained we had short-changed her, but we hadn’t; she was just bad at math.
I leaned against the counter, massaging my temples.
My headache was growing by the minute.
I had to deal with another angry customer.
An elderly woman approached with a shopping cart.
Her face was pinched with anger, her trembling hand clutching a receipt.
Behind her, three more customers lined up, their faces equally hostile.
The fluorescent lights above flickered, making my headache worse.
I forced myself to smile, remembering how this interaction had gone wrong in previous loops.
The woman slammed the receipt down on the counter.
"Your coupons are expired!"
I nodded patiently, though my jaw clenched.
She waved the stack of coupons in my face.
"False advertising!"
The shrill sound of her voice echoed through the store, drawing stares from other customers.
I gripped the counter's edge, forcing myself to breathe slowly.
I'd seen this scene play out dozens of times before.
Sometimes it ended with security being called.
Other times, it ended with merchandise thrown at my head.
This time, I swallowed my pride and frustration, remembering how escalating only made things worse.
"Ma'am, I understand your frustration, but if you look closely, the expiration date is right here," I said, pointing to the fine print.
Her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized the receipt again, her anger momentarily replaced by confusion.
"Well, why didn't anyone tell me before?" she huffed, her voice softening just a bit.
I smiled, a small victory.
Behind me, I noticed my coworker Jenny giving me an approving nod from the next register.
For a moment, I felt a sense of progress, of learning to handle difficult customers better.
But then Mr. Johnson emerged from his office, storming toward me with a red face and a crumpled sales report in his hand.
He jabbed his finger at the paper, pointing to missed targets and scheduling errors from last week.
"Mark, what the fuck is this?"
I tried to explain about the staff shortage, but he wouldn't listen.
His voice grew louder, drawing stares from customers.
I gripped the counter as my hands began to shake.
The fluorescent lights seemed to pulse with my rising blood pressure.
