The Offfical Sad things that happened to you Thread

No it's the huge fights.
 
My seventh grade math teacher was one of my favorite teachers ever, but then he disappeared for a month and there was a long-term sub. The sub said that he would be back soon, but he never did. My old math teacher didn't die, but the principal said he quit his job to "pursue a new career." I don't think that makes any sense (why would he say he would be back soon if he plans on quitting?), but we ended up with another math teacher for the rest of the year who wasn't as good at teaching the lessons and I had a harder time learning how to do things.

My old math teacher would let us watch TV shows on some days. He even let us watch the Simpsons on one day.
 
I miss my year 7 science teacher... he let us watch Futurama at the end of term.
 
How's this for sad? My band went to Bands Of America regionals in North Huntingdon yesterday. We won two captions (Outstanding Music and Outstanding General Effect) and got second place in our class. But we didn't make it to finals, while a band that DIDN'T PLACE and won NO CAPTIONS went to finals.

The real kicker was, that school shares the first word of their name with us, so when they announced it, we thought we had went on for a split second.
 
Here's a sad story that really bothers me still...

A few months ago, I noticed that about 15 of my video games went missing. I am missing like 5 DS games, and several other Wii and Gamecube games. I collect games and I always, always, always make sure I have them all together. There is no way I would ever lose 15 games at once. And that's because they were stolen, and over time I've learned exactly who stole them. It's disturbing, because the thief is a very close family member who has been going though a heck of a tough time. I know she stole them, and I know it was because she needed some quick cash (from selling them at Gamestop or at some other store).

I don't want to sound like I have no life, but I care greatly about my games. I collect them. I hate losing 15 of them at once, especially since now I have to earn $300 to buy them back. One of the games missing was PMD: Explorers of Sky, and the game was so special to me that I cried like crazy.
