I really don't know why, but it seems to happen a lot to me, that if bad things happen it usually happens in groups of 3s, and usually within the same day or week. Is it possible, if you add up 1,2,3 it equals 6 and if you have three such experiences in a given month or year it adds up to 666, so maybe the devil is behind all the bad things that happen in our lives LOL.

I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket but crap does happen all the time. Maybe it isn't the fact that your personal misfortunes happen in 3s but that you interpret your circumstances to be consecutively unfortunate 3 times. It's a convenient figure and I guess it's easier to ignore any other details in your life as erroneous and convince yourself that what you do doesn't matter. Maybe it is an urban legend, maybe it's just an urban legend, maybe it's just an urban legend. You decide!

We only seem to pick up on those things that come in 3's... Pay closer attention and you will find many things that went wrong or broke as 1.

Because 2 wrongs don't make a right but 3 wrongs do.

It doesn't. If you think about it, couldn't things just as easily happen in sixes or nines? It's a dumb saying and even dumber to believe in it.

Luck, especially bad luck, is often said to "come in threes".
