Going to Be One of Those Days
A character gets up in the morning and soon finds something bad has happened- 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 Snarkers will do when normal people would have an Oh Crap moment. In action-orientated series, it will often overlap with Casual Danger Dialog.
May overlap with This Is Gonna Suck. See also Here We Go Again.
