Plugging in a USB cable. You would think I would get it right at least 50% of the time...nope.

Also, putting on fitted sheets. Same thing.

I've had to replace 3 tires (not due to negligence) with approximately 15K miles on them. All nails or screws were in the sidewall and deemed not repairable


For 18 months, I lived in a very ‘working class’ apartment complex in Houston. Lots of Hispanics and work trucks. I think I had a total of 5 nails in tires during that time, 2 in the sidewall. Aggravating, but at least most of my neighbors worked.

Mine is electronics like phones and televisions. shite never works like it's supposed to for very long for me. Like right now, I have two different TVs in my house that, for whatever reason, will NOT connect to my WiFi.

My dad has never bought a reliable used car in his life.

I always grab the shopping cart with a fricked up wheel.

It doesn't matter if i go to Subway, Firehouse, Jimmy John's, etc, there's alway someone in front of me that needs 17 sandwiches for their office, when I just need my one.

Car tires for me 100%.

I work in construction so I guess it isn't a surprise, but I've been working in the industry since I graduated 7 years ago, and I can't tell you how many times I had to buy new tires cuz I'd get nails in them all the time.

Catching red lights that I approach. No matter when I leave or what route I take it seems that I catch 3 out of 4 red.

End up in the slowest checkout lane every single time. It never fails.


I've pretty much accepted this as my lot in life. Along with getting stuck behind the slowest moving vehicle. I just go with it at this point.

I usually offer to buy the cashier a drink or something and tell her she's doing a good job.

I worked in a grocery store in high school and we had a competition to see who could scan the things the fastest because somehow it kept up with how fast you scanned. We would get in trouble if we went slow. We'd have gotten fired if we scanned like some of these ladies at Walmart.

If I leave a store the same time as someone else, I'd say at least 50% of the time they have parked right fricking next to me.

My wife has even commented on it. I don't know what it is. It can be a Walmart parking lot with 400 cars in the lot, and the person behind me is following me to their car I just so happened to park next to.

It is beyond frustrating.
