Flying to Montreal and pilot started to descend. During the flight he would make announcements in French , then in English.
Seconds later he banked a hard hard right and some passengers started to scream. Shortly the pilot spoke in French and those who understood started making gasp like sounds.
When he spoke in English he said the runway we were to use for landing had a plane take off from the same runway and he had to make a hard turn to avoid a collision. Then the English speaking passengers started making gasp like sound.

My Dad's favorite QB moved in across the street from me about a year after Dad passed. My Mom came over and asked me who was that on my zero turn. He sent her a signed football dedicated to my Dad. She cried. Maybe me too.

8th grade shot a bird on the ground with a .22. Series of ricochets and it hit me right in the chest. Stung like a MFer. Onky went in about a .25 of an inch.
One inch cable snapped when I was a kid. Barely grazed my nose and sliced it like a razor.
Got stabbed in new orleans when I was in college. Wedged between the bones of my forearm. Addict lost his grip on the knife. Girl I was dating got to see me step between her and an armed attacker, and go into an adrenaline fueled rage after being stabbed, resulting in the tiny heroin addict getting ragdolled into the sidewalk.
I was in a really bad wreck that compression fractured my spine. Woke up every day in pain. A year later, I was in a second really bad wreck that stretched everything back out while flipping repeatedly in the air. I wake up pain free now.
Accidentally ignited about 35 gallons of contained gasoline fumes, my hand acted like a nozzle and directed the flame away from my face. I would have either died or been horribly disfigured.
In 8th grade playing indoor kickball I made a full court nothing but net shot into the basketball goal on the other end.

This is amazing. Really shitty luck leading to a low quality of life followed by really shitty luck leading to a betterment in QOL.
But as a poster above said, please stay away. You find the bad juju.
I’ve got nothing. The only iota of something that might count is I was hunting public land wearing the orange EVERYWHERE on me and some dumbass Hunter still took a pot shot at me. Luckily he was a shitty shot. Last time I ever hunted public land.
