Has something really unlucky happened to you lately? Post it here!

Last night, my boiler gave started making loud banging noises & died, it's been -3 overnight & we've had no heating or hot water :(
 
Not getting tickets for the Led Zeppelin concert yesterday.

That's all really. :lol:
 
Just got the information today that I have to join military service as mountain infantry soldier today, service time from 7.1.08 till 30.8.08. (7 months) And as if military drill 2500-3000 meters above sea level wouldnt be enough I am not free from giddiness....:ouch:

Ahh, life punches my face pretty hard this time, and there is no way to avoid that.....
 
I'm a 17 year old bus driver, who has 9 siblings, and 3 kids to watch. I was doomed from the start! :grumpy:
 
Eh, my family has had a bad year, and most of it happened to my dad. First he had hernia surgery, then he had his prostate removed because of cancer, then a guy from Jersey totaled my car, and now dad has broken his femur and is out of commission for at least two months. That'll be about 4 months off work for him this year.

Beat that.
 
Keef, I can't.

I sit in seat 13 in the auditorium for my lecture classes. That's about the sum of my unluckiness.

I was born under a bad sign,
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.



....:dopey:

Sing it brotha!...

I don't consider myself unlucky, but if I was in circumstances such as the ones above, I would consider it to be unfortunate, not a matter of luck. Actually, I don't really believe in luck, just coincidences.

*gets struck by lightning*
 
I'd say getting a speeding ticket on a downhill part of the freeway for a cops quota would be but compared to other people... I don't know. :rolleyes:
 
Ever thought about leaving school a few minutes later? Like, after everyone else has cleared out.

I think my dad got what he didn't deserve. Even when you're an old man hockey coordination sticks with you, and I've never seen him fall on ice. I saw him slip on a wet grass hill once, but he got right back up. The one time he slips on ice he breaks hits so hard he breaks his (prerfectly healthy, according to the surgeon) hip.

On top of that, it was the one day of the week (friday) that I drove him to work, instead of him driving. There was only ice on the passenger side. Also, the truck plowing the parking lot was in the front lot and hadn't yet made it to the back parking lot.

Oh I do, I wait until there is only 1-5 cars left, then I leave. The stuff was before school usually, and there's people driving in from 30 min to right before class starts, no way to avoid them there.

EDIT: I know what you mean about your dad. I always get into situations where something simple or nice you did turns into crap. Mild example compared to your dad, but the first time my car was hit, it had been towed off literally when I walked outside, I had tried to chase them down but they wouldn't stop. If they hadn't done that crap I never would have had a damaged car, and I wouldn't need a new headlight after my recent incident.
 
Beat that.

When I was 15, my mom had a stroke. After two and a half months of having tubes sticking out of her skull, she gets home. The same day, my dad gets laid off. A week later, my best friend moves to another city. These situations matured me more than ever, which lost me most of the rest of my friends at school, because they thought I became too serious. What a fun year.
 
Just as I was about to apply for a job at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Shuttle Challenger broke up on re-entry - shutting down hiring on the entire manned space program.

It worked out though, I got a better job.
 
I consider myself very lucky after what I've been through the last one and a half year. I always thought I had a lot of bad luck in my life but most of it was my own fault or even my imagination.

Now I feel *lucky* every day. I'm happy to be alive, to have what I have. To be able to eat what I want, to have a roof above my head etc... I *adore* the littlelests (this word exist in my personal dictionary) things, like sunshine, food, my friends, my father etc... Maybe it is also because I learned to think, feel and *be* possitive because I had to to overcome what I had.

Luck and bad luck comes from the inside. If you're healthy and your body and mind are in perfect harmony and you feel good, bad luck doesn't exist. If your brain chemistry is in perfect balance, you'll feel happy and lucky. My neighbour survived colomn cancer. He was diagnosed in '95. Now I heard he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He stays positive, is always laughing and he's still happy.

An Indian (not an native American but someone from India) once said to me, if you're ill and you accept your faith, you'll be happy again, so you won't feel *unlucky*.


Blablabla blabla ....

Just read daan's new thread so,

w00t

:p
 
Well, I have a rather good life, but I keep getting low 60s on my schoolwork for either including one unnecessary word, or forgetting a vital term.

My hockey games are always that way; we lose by 5 or 6 by the puck literally taking a bad bounce or deflection on the fateful shots. Being the goalie, it's rather nightmarish to face...
 
Where to start!!!! Well first I woke up late this morning, barely made it to school on time. Kept messing up marching in my ROTC class. Forgot to do my 7th period homework.
 
well, my dad had a stroke, i got a B on my report card, i lost my spot on the basketball team (now i sit for about half the game), my one dog died (she was 19), my other doge got really sick (he will make though), i hurt my hip at my last basketball game, and now i am getting a cold.
 
I'm working for UPS as a driver assistant over my winter break from school. And... tomorrow we're supposed to get 4-8in of snow. And of course, being UPS, I'll be out there in it all day.
 
Since when was a B on a report card bad? My parents cheered whenever I had a B on my report card. :lol:
to you guys it may not be bad, but my grade point average has been around 3.95 since 8th grade i want to keep it that way. a B lowers it a bit too much. oh yeah, it was an 89.4%:ouch:
 
I don't see what a lot of this has to do with luck. You get a B because it wasn't good enough for an A, you lose your spot on the team because you're no good, etc.

My dad went through a lay-off about 6 years ago. I was shadowing him that day. The owner of the shop was bankrupt and didn't tell anybody so nobody in the whole shop had time to search for another job. I've had a rough year, but I don't see how it's made me more "mature". If anything I feel like everything I have is quite temporary and therefore spending time caring for it is a waste. I hope your problems have made you decide to move forward instead of getting stuck in a rut emotionally.

Definitely changed me for the better. Handling personal problems became much easier, and I learned a whole lot about myself in the process.
