I need some stories to make my day feel more insignificant



After a summer of working two jobs and barely doing anything fun and building up my credit a little, I finally take it upon myself to find a good dealership, that has the car I want, at the price I can afford, and purchase a car after mine broke for good last year


Literally an hour after I drive the car off the lot, I'm driving on interstate and a car carrier holding about 10 cars on it is in front of me and I notice it starts swerving a little. Then it starts swerving a lot. It's literally switching lanes like it's a sedan and also swerving into both lanes like the driver of this huge frickin machine is losing control (imagine just the drunkest driver you've ever seen)

At this point you can't get around him because he is swerving everywhere on the road and he already almost ran another car off the road

Finally we hit a contruction spot and he smashes into about 7-10 traffic cones that fly into the air about 30 feet and one of the bottom black pieces hits my car dead underneath the front end of the car. Boom my radiator is broke and my new arse car is in the shop.

Happy frickin Monday.

Driving my Vette to a race track in Texas. A truck in front of me loses fenders and crap offa truck he was towing. I hit a piece and it tears up the brake cooling duct. I had to run the sessions with the duct all taped up.

I was far back from him, I thought I was within range to move in case something did happen, I didn't expect him to take out traffic cones and the debris to come at me that quickly.

Running down the hall in school, someone opens a door, stitches.
Involved in a rock fight while young, looked up, stitches.
Riding on the handle bars of a bike when young, chick learning how to drive floored it after we passed her, knocked me 10' down the street and knocked my shoes off.
The 3rd might be the only real "bad luck" moment though in retrospect.

Certainly could've handled it better looking back I guess. Still just in shock

Oh well, at least you weren't injured. Maybe he's liable for the damages to your vehicle

Friday evening, took the wife out to eat. Got back to my truck, the back window was blown out. Glass everywhere. On the drive home, not even two miles, a dump truck coming the other way drops a big arse rock the size of a fist, bam! There goes the windshield. WTF?

Insurance is costing me double on this claim. $75 dinner turn into a $175 dinner and I didn't get laid.

Drag race 1 round away from $10,000 payout, did burnout, backing up I missed the brake pedal and rolled back thru the VHT, rules are only one burnout and tires are now greasy, go up in smoke at the hit and lose to a much slower car.

I'm a Mississippi State fan

I'd say that's some pretty bad luck
