Ok, my hubby and I are on the list. We always have one thing after the other happen. Last thing also involved my brother. Here's the scoop.
Hubby had his old truck up for sale. He bought a new (old) one so this one was up for sale. My brother wrecked his new truck (new 1 ton truck...gorgeous). Someone pulled out and hit him broadside. It wasn't his fault but he was left without wheels for a few days. He asked to borrow the truck that was for sale. My hubby said come and get it. The truck was originally my brothers (we bought it from him). He wanted to borrow it just until they could get him in a rental. No problem. Well guess what? A deer runs out in front of him that night and he had no choice but to hit it. Repairs were right at $5,000. The truck has been in the shop for a few weeks and they called this morning to say it is ready. Thank goodness we still had full coverage on it or we'd be in a fix.
So does anyone else have a bad luck story to tell? I think my brother had the worse luck here, although it did bring down the value of the truck because it has now been wrecked.

It doesn't sound like you have the worst luck :) I think you just have bad events and I definitely have those! It seems like it's a sign sometimes. Like let's say I buy a car and it breaks down on day 1, then it's like a sign for future bad luck with this car.... that is the kind of thing that happened to me before! I get stuck in a bad luck loop just related to one thing, everything else in life could be going fine.
It might be an attitude thing too. Like maybe you thought the truck had issues from the beginning so it was almost like you expected more bad to come... and then it did... maybe it's a sign to get rid of that truck :)

Wow. I am not one of those people who have bad luck constantly but I do have really bad luck from time to time! I don't really have a story to tell but I remember a couple years back, there was 6 months when I was constantly having bad luck, everything wasn't right and they would turn out bad! I don't even want to remember those days *laughs*.
Hope bad luck leaves you alone!

I hope your brother is OK!
I do not have bad luck like that. My daughter had the luck that if we go out and eat or go to a drive threw window her food will be messed up. She does not order special things either.

I am the unluckiest person in the world and I think you qualify for second place. If something can go wrong for me, it does. I expect it now because it has always been with me for all my life, this bad luck thing. I have never had anything really good happen for me, except have two children. My marriage to their dad was horrible, the marriage I am in now is not so good, and my life is going nowhere fast. I am just waiting for my mom to sell her house, she is giving the money to us kids, and she's moving into a seniors apartment. I will be getting around $10,000.00 and I am going to buy myself a little second hand car and I am leaving my husband and moving to another city where my daughter lives. I have very severe health issues because of all the stress I have had in my life and I've had enough, no more. I will be leaving in about 5 months and I hope to start a new life, hopefully with no more bad luck.
