16 Situations That Prove It’s Possible to Run Completely Out of Luck

Some people seem to be luckier than others: they get discounts for the stuff they want, the lines they’re in move faster, or they might even win the lottery. However, in reality, mishaps occur in the lives of all of us. And scientists say there are no lucky or unlucky people, we should just be open-minded and positive to take advantage of the opportunities around us.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything firmly believe in science, but we found these cases that could convince anyone that bad luck is real.

“Just trying to ride a bike near a nesting magpie...”

“It happened right as I finished making everything, and I was so hungry.”

“Broke the key to the tablet cart off in the lock on my first day as supervisor.”

“Forgot my plastic spatula in the oven while heating up my lasagna.”

“My microwave caught on fire today.”

“Took my favorite shirt to the dry cleaners before my boss’s wedding tomorrow. Time to go shopping, I guess.”

“This is how my morning started.”

“Yeah, that’s a melted bowl, baked dough, and a burned kitchen towel.”
