Now's your chance to be a [[Clown Around Town]]
My initial thought is whether or not the concept is sufficiently distinct from This Is Gonna Suck. The character knows the day isn't gonna be good, and they resign themselves to it.

Either redirect to ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
or disambig with the rest of the tropes in the description.
I feel a Disambig between Casual Danger Dialogue, Here We Go Again!, and This Is Gonna Suck covers everything this trope could mean.
Man in the Yellow Hat
Also doesn't help that it's a stock phrase.
I really don't see a point of disambig-ing if there's so few wicks and almost all of them is just characters saying the phrase.
Just cut.
Professional Wicks Checker
Leaning more toward a redirect but I wouldn't mind a disambig.

I'm in favor of getting rid of it either way, but we'll disambiguate or redirect it instead of doing a full-fledged cut to preserve inbounds.
I'd prefer redirecting to This Is Gonna Suck, though.

If we can't do a full cut, leaning towards redirect.

~Completely Normal Guy Since they were not pinged.
Anyway, ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
to a disambig. As always, I prefer them to redirects because they capture more possible uses.
Petal Dance
I'd prefer a redirect, though I won't lose sleep if we decide to disambiguate.
The world's forgotten boy (he/him)
Considering this is a Not Thriving thread (meaning it wouldn't take long to take care of) and there's already plenty of support for getting rid of it, I see no need to wait the full three days to run a crowner for deciding whether to disambiguate or redirect, since the thread is really just split between that.
he/him
Upvoted both. If we redirect that's fine too—I had suggested a disambig, but I understand if that isn't a popular proposal.
Am I a weirdo?
I voted for redirect. There just aren't enough examples to justify a disambig.
he/him
That’s actually a good point. I think I’ll downvote a disambig then.

So, I'm going to delay calling the crowner because it's a bit unstable, but this is being done differently from most instability-related delays. Since the Three-Day Rule was already waived for hooking the crowner due to this being a Not Thriving thread and those being the only threads the Three-Day Rule can be waived for, delaying calling the crowner in case means that the Three-Day Rule will not be waived, so this crowner will be called no sooner than three days from now.
(Incidentally, three days from now is Groundhog Day, so I don't know how many times it'll have to be called.)
Just noticed the post on ATT links to the Acceptable Targets thread instead of this one.
The world's forgotten boy (he/him)
It's the other way around — I accidentally linked to the Going to Be One of Those Days wiki page in a bulletin that actually was meant for the Acceptable Targets thread because of a mistake made when copying and pasting. There was a separate bulletin for this thread that linked to both the right page and the right thread.

Calling in favor of redirecting to This Is Gonna Suck. I don't know how many more times I'll have to do this.

This isn't going to see any more days, so locking.
Crown Description:
Going To Be One Of Those Days is not thriving, and the fact that it's a Stock Phrase has raised concerns that it's meaningless, or at least not meaningfully different from other tropes. What should be done with it?
Brought to TRS attention by Completely Normal Guy
Going to Be One of Those Days was created back in 2011 at the latest, and has managed to collect all of 18 wicks in that time. In addition, it's a stock phrase, and use seems to be "something happened and character said this phrase." A full wick check is at Going To Be One Of Those Wick Checks, but here's a summary:
Only the last item on the wick check hints at the possibility of actually being a trope rather than merely a stock phrase. But even if there is a trope hiding behind the mess, it's probably just best to start from scratch rather than fix the page.
Wick check:
Wick Check for Going to Be One of Those Days:Complete list of Wicks
The reason there's only 18 wicks in the wick check is that the page only has 18 wicks.
Warthog: Great. It's gonna be another one of those planets.
The gigantic Hive'Zora Abomination wasp starts attacking the camp.
Captain Blackanvil: Looks like it's Going to Be One of Those Days.
Batman: It's going to be one of those nights.
