Default Bad things happen in 3's

I'm having real bad week.

1st: The lever to open the door from inside broke last week.
2nd: I get a flat tire on Sunday.
3rd: My tranny stops working on Monday.

Hopefully thats the end of my bad luck.

Yeah, bad things happen in "3s". My friend flipped his 328is(totaled), somebody rear ended his 300ZX-TT (totaled) and somebody ran a redlight and smacked into his M3(totaled). Now he has an STi, no bad news yet.

My luck wasn't related to SC's, but.....

1- Bought an ebay item and paid for next day air....... it didn't go out until 2 days later

2- shipping was $49.50 before it was officially weighed...... $93.75 AFTER

3- Found small shipping damage on item, not worth claiming.

ahh misery loves company.... here's mine:


-find out my ex GF is pregnant (not mine... and yea she's' my ex... but after a year apart we were both starting things back up until i found this out)

-certain parts for a "secret" project for my SC came 2/100 of an inch to small, so now i'm waiting another 2 weeks to get it fabbed up

-i walk into work this morning to find out we had a power outage last night. And now half of our building is having network problems... and the best part about it... I'M THE ONE AND ONLY IT GUY HERE.

I wish you all had better luck, heck I wish I had better luck as well:

-daughter is really sick right now and I think I'm catching it
-got a flat tire yesterday and didn't know until I came out of the grocery store with hella groceries, so my milk was getting spoiled as I waited to get the tire fixed
-my ex (who I still love to death) told me it ain't gonna happen, she's found someone else
-my car has more problems than I have money
-almost got into a fight with a neighbor over a silly parking situation
-got a letter from the IRS saying I owe them $700
-had a trash truck drop a trash can on the ground near my car...it bounced up and fell over and scratched my fender
-very next day at work some idiot parking flunkie places a metal sign directly behind my car and scratches it...of course he gets amnesia when I report it
-spent all day working on an a/r report here at work only to find out my boss didn't need it, 5 hours wasted for nothing.
-my basketball team got eliminated from the playoffs after clawing our way into the second round (the team I personally play for).
-got my SC pinned in a gas station by the cops because they had to screw with this other guy. I had to wait like 15 minutes before I could leave...with the damn narcotics dog barking it's ugly head off the whole time...

all of this happened to me in the past 7-10 days...and I'm still here fighting believe it or not...am I the only one who continuously has this type of shat happen to them?? I swear dudes, it's enough to make a grown man cry...

i guess this thread goes to show that SHIYET HAPPENS

not that its a good thing that everyone else has their s!@t.... but you gotta admit that it feels a little bit better knowing others go through it.

Dude, the last time I can remember something nice happening to me was when my homie sold me his TT wheels for a steal...that's the last time I had something really cool happen to me. I'm thankful for each passing day and I know I'm blessed because I have more than most people, but enduring a **** storm like this really takes it's toll on a person. I feel like I've aged in the past month, all because of stress

Wow, those are some pretty messed up weeks. Hope all my fellow Cl members days gets better. Mine went by good and hope it gets better.

-birthday was just yesterday
-beater crx finally started after 6 months. Best birthday present I ever had.
-gonna go out tonite for a belated celebration.

Guess the only thing that was bad is I haven't worked for the past 2 weeks. But the restaurant is remodeling, so its really noone to blame.
