Well for me it depends on what category we're going for...
Pathetic but true : "There is a half an inch of snow on the ground, how am I supposed to get to
work!?" (Only in the District of Columbia)
Annoying but true : "Hey boss, I'm
still in Philadelphia airport. " (2 days later...)
Sad but true : "My brother was shot this morning on the way to school." (Led an urban development program in north-east Rochester NY, one of my employees/teens said this)
