Got into a minor car wreck in 7th grade, we were mostly fine, but my face had basixally been decimated, open wounds and I couldn't open my eye or hear on one side, so my mom says we're going to the doctor. Fine, ok, but the cars totalled, so bus it is. We waited about an hour for the bus and it just wasn't showing up so we said whatever I'll be fine and walked home, but on the walk home, we get mugged. Like,,, gun to the hip mugged. Luckily they didn't hurt us or even get anything, someone scared them off, but like damn.

If it were just 1 of those things, ok whatever, but the fact that it happened within the same 3 HOURS.. I refused to leave the house again that day for fear of yet another thing going wrong lol

One time in PE, we were playing basketball and the ball hit me square on the top of my head. Then when I went to pick it up, it was timed perfectly to hit me in my jaw. Many people saw :P

Ok so I used to go to this dancing club and one day I was running late for it, which I wasn't too bothered by because we had a new dance teacher and she had told me a couple of weeks before that I was the only one not good enough for the exam, so I couldn't do it.
At one point on my route there is a bridge but just as I was about to cross it, a guy puts up a sigh and said it needed to be closed. So had to take a fifteen minute diversion and the lesson had already started. THEN I get to the crossing outside of the dance place and a car stops for me to go across. The car behind it didn't see it stopped and bumped into it, knocking me over. I only got a few bruises + my earphones broke, but I had to assure everyone I was ok then wait incase I had shock, call my mum etc
Long story short I missed the club bc the universe seemed to be trying to stop me. And then I quit that day anyway bc there was no point going if I couldn't do the exam the dances were for.
I have no idea if this story makes sense but I hope it's kinda interesting

Once when I was in 3rd grade, and there was a Patent's teacher meeting,My grandma and sis told me to wait for em when the classes end and sit in the playground (park instead)
I did as I was told but after that a ma'am came and told me that I need to go and nobody would come to pick me up
My bus was going but I somehow hopped onto it LOL
Then,I came home and my grandma and sis made a sweet lunch for me and took it to eat in our personal car
We didn't use it because there was some problem
I came home and the door was locked
I was so traumatized and I prayed for them to come back and on the other side my grandma and sis went school and I was not there
Somehow they reached home because my school was literally sooooooo far
That day was embarrassing and I was low all day

I went to Walmart with about 8 dollars in quarters and dimes because I was only getting a few little things, and I was trying to make it a point not to spend anything from my bank account, plus I thought "hey, no big deal, I always use the self check out."
Well it just so HAPPENED the self checkout machine I started using that day decided to quit on me. So a lady had to come over, she couldn't fix it, so she had me checkout with a living worker instead.

I had to count out six dollars, in coins, right in front of her. Dimes were dropping every two seconds. I was continuously apologizing. It was a low point for me..šŸ˜…

On the day of my graduation ceremony, I dropped my ring in the toilet beforehand (being an adult is putting ur hand in the toilet like a big kid, thankfulLY BEFORE I used it), lost my beetle necklace (was found thank god), dropped ring again under a seat (friend got it for me), my absolute lack of photogenic-ness exposes itself, sit in a loud theatre for like 2 hours before the ceremony, found a hair in my friend rice, got shampoo in my eye in the shower,, ITS NOT MUCH BUT IT WAS ON A VERY STRESSFUL DAY
