"Toys out of the pram" expression

No, "throwing toys out of the pram" is used for a person who is behaving irrationally (in anger or frustration). Here the person is being compared to a baby who keeps throwing the toys out and the implication is that the person is being irrational.

For your question, to describe a person who is having a bad day, some say "Got up on the wrong side of the bed".

People also tend to say that they are "having a bad hair day", if they are not having a good day. I have heard some say "My computer is having a bad hair day", when it continuously hangs on them.


I found the following at The Phrase Finder in response to a question about the phrase throw the dolly out of the pram:

In my experience "threw their toys out of the pram" is more common. It means they responded to frustration with an irrational and seemingly dispropotionate outburst; like a baby repeatedly throwing away everything it can get its hands on. A less common variation is "spat out their dummy."

In other words, a temper tantrum.
