Thought you had a bad day?

Jordan, a 21-year-old tradesman from Sydney, Australia, found himself having the worst day ever on Tuesday, having been bitten on the penis by a spider -- again.

It happened in a portable toilet at his worksite, and it's a near-repeat of what happened to him back in April, when he was bitten (also on the penis) by a highly-venomous redback spider.

This time he's unsure what type of spider it was, only managing to see its legs before it disappeared.

"This is the first time I used one since then [the first incident] ... I won't be using one again, that's for sure," he told KIIS FM.

Jordan made his way to hospital, where doctors and nurses couldn't help but laugh at his terrible misfortune.

"[They were] just laughing at me, pretty much. They remembered me from the last time it happened," he said. "Everyone was laughing at me, calling me the unluckiest man in Australia."

As for the bite and the effect it's had on his penis -- it's a bit sorer, more swollen and redder than last time around.

"It's a really sharp intense pain, then all of a sudden it turns into a throb. It's like when you hit your thumb with a hammer, or something," he said.

A NSW Department of Health spokesperson confirmed to Mashable that Jordan presented himself at Blacktown Hospital, but could not reveal his the details of his illness or condition due to confidentiality.
