History Main / GoingToBeOneOfThoseDays

A character gets up in the morning and soon finds something bad has happened- [[OhCrap or is about to happen]] to them. They respond with some variation of: "''Sigh...'' I guess it's going to be one of ''those'' days."

This is typically what {{Deadpan Snarker}}s will do when normal people would have an OhCrap moment. In action-orientated series, it will often overlap with CasualDangerDialogue.

May overlap with ThisIsGonnaSuck. See also HereWeGoAgain. A common variant is "Mom warned me there'd be days like this" (or something equivalent).
