Bad Luck

Comment ID #20961

Post stories about really shitty things that have happened to you that are just completely unlucky.

Okay, here’s the only one I can think of right now, me and my friends went camping up in the blue ridge mountains of Georgia. We went to a spot were the was a small waterfall that ran over a sizable rock outcrop, but there were plenty of dry spots. Anyways, we slept under the stars and all that jazz. So when it got later, and a lot darker, I walked over to stoke the fire and managed to slip in an unseen pool of water. I managed to catch myself, in the fire. I basically shove my entire right hand straight into the red hot coals. I scream some curse words, and quickly move myself over to a pool of water and shove my fucking hand in it. So while my friends are laughing their asses off, I’m still cussing because of the seering pain. I sit there for a good while, and then take my hand out of the water to observe the damage.

Covered in fucking leeches. Like five of them. So I scream some more curse words and remove the fuckers and throw them into the fucking woods I was so pissed. And my friends are now doing the ‘oh shit wtf’ laugh. So yeah, I had second degree burn blisters all over my fucking fingers, couldn’t hold anything for like a month.

Yeah, I have fucking awful luck. That’s why I try to follow rules and shit because I’m always the fucking person who gets caught.

I got busted for smoking pot three days after the first time I did it. Fuck that shit, right?

And I’m pissy right now because I did that thing accidentally where you throw up in your mouth a little but not all the way but the bile stays and your throat burns like a motherfucker?

And my fundamentalist Christian sister (the snob type that looks down on everyone and everything because they’ve been “saved” and are therefore entitled to be pompous and infallible) has moved back in for the summer. She hasn’t even done anything explicit yet but I know I’ll want to set her on fire before the week is over.

BAAAAAAAW

Upside is I have enough xanax after today to knock out Robert Downey Jr.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It’s much funnier to sit back and watch tragedy unfold than to try to stop it. That’s why anyone bothers to make tragic plays.

I hate to add to you misery (*chuckles*) but every time I see your name, I’m tempted to read it “egoslammer” (like as in someone who slams other peoples’ egos). I’ve been meaning to tell you that for a while.

A few years ago, it was the only day I needed to just buy my lunch, and head back to school to prep for a big test. I go to buy a my normal drink, when I saw another one, Dad’s Old Fashioned Root Beer and decided to get that instead. Turns out it wasn’t listed at all in the store stock, and so they had no price for it. I hadn’t noticed it was unpriced when I picked it up, and while they were trying to be helpful and find and price, I just wanted to get out of there. I go to another place to buy a drink, and when I get to cash some old lady cuts infront of me. She then proceeds to taker out a coupon book, and sort through a year’s worth of coupons to save a few cents. After she goes, I am in the process of paying when she comes back and forces the cashier to stop everything, because she didn’t get her Airmiles points. Of course, this was a small drugstore I was getting the drink at, so only 1 cashier. After that, I go to buy my lunch and the women in front of me decides to pay with every nickel and dime in her purse. I barely got back on time, and had no chanced to review for the test.

Hmmm… Ok. So here’s some bad luck that happened to me very recently.

I’m working on a show with a friend of mine, and I’ve been struggling to finish the script for it for a few weeks. I finally finish it just in time to use some nice lighting equipment I temporarily had. I plug the power cord for my camera into a surge protector power board, and switch the power on at the wall. There’s a loud crack, and I smell smoke…

The power pack on the cable has fried. Dead. So I lament it’s loss and look to order a new one… The only one that doesn’t break my bank states that it could take “Up to 35 days to arrive” >< I inevitably order it anyway.

We decide to shoot the show regardless of this, and worry about the power pack later. We film through all but 3 pages of script when the camera dies, leaving us with no way to finish the first episode, and for continuity sake, we will need to re-film about half of it…

ARG!

I lend my friend my PS3 system, it’s one of the original models with extra features that Sony has long since scrapped making them expensive and hard to find. He breaks it. So he offers to pay to get it fixed, yet we find out that the closest shop that actually still fixes PS3s, is 50 miles away. Still I take it in, wait a week, and go to pick it up: “yeah, your system is completly fried, is beyond an hope of repair, that will be $90.”

Here’s one that happened a month ago:

So my friends have been planning this trip to a theme park since third quarter of our school (that’s before January) and we’re all pretty excited about it. So we meet up on the rendezvous point early and wait for everyone and our transport van. Turns out it was a rusted old van with no AC and the last guy to come came in so late that the sun started to rise (summers are immensely hot in this country). That isn’t the bad part. So we go along, getting roasted inside a toaster of a van and my friend decides to tag his friend along. I was thinking “Eh, the more the merrier” until a few texts later, his friend said that she didn’t have any money and we’d all have to pitch in. But that isn’t the bad part. So we arrive at the theme park and are approached by the staff saying that the whole park has been rented for that day alone. We were all gutted. Now that’s a string of bad luck.

Rather shrot story on my side. My friends all want to go out to La Ronde (a local amusment park) to celebrate the end of the school year. Instead of going I will be at home in pain from having my wisdom teeth removed the day before they want to go.

I took a drink out of someone’s dip spit can on accident once. Probably the most unpleasant experience of my entire life.
