What are some misfortunate things that have happened to you?

Question

What are some things that have happened to you in the past that really sucked? Either hurt emotionally or physically? I'm just curios to hear some people's stories.

I'll go first.

A few months ago I opened my garage to get my bike out just to discover it was gone. I had to buy another one for like $400.00. What really sucks is that the bike that was stolen was only like 2 months old (I have also gotten my bike run over by a secret agent of the president the year before).
2 weeks after getting my bike stolen and getting a new one I decided it was a good idea to skateboard down a huge hill. I lost control and started swerving, fell, and broke my arm. I then had to walk 3 miles home with a broken arm.
A half week after breaking my arm I'm walking to school and there's a slow moving truck that has stopped traffic on the street I needed to cross. I started to cross the street since one of the cars seemed to be waiting for me. The next thing I know (continue in more details)...

(continue)...
Something hard has hit me. I don't remember after that but the next thing I do remember is laying on the ground with an old lady looking down at me from her window. I don't now how long I was out for but someone who saw it said I went 5 feet into the air. I got up and was driven to the hospital and on the way found that blood was flowing down my leg from a cut. I spent the day at the hospital but I didn't break any bones. Only some damaged tissue. And it was hard to walk the day after. And this is all still with my cast on my arm.

So that is my story, what's yours?

VA Girl:
I went to Italy last summer with my next door neighbor. My next door neighbor got $2,300 in Euro money stolen from her on a bus along with other things. We didn't even now until we got off the bus. That was a hard day...

Wow, Kevin. I never believed in bad luck until I read your story. For me, 2 yrs ago, I decided to visit London again and took a friend with me. When I was there the previous year, I had gotten sick from the extreme cold and couldn't do anything or take any pictures. This 2nd trip, I was prepared with a disposable camera, warm coat, etc. I went to a huge museum, somewhere, & friends I had met the previous yr took us to all the places in London that needed their pictures taken. Then we went shopping, and all was well since we only had 2 days' vacation left. Well, 2 minutes from where we were staying, someone cut thru the leather shoulder strap of my purse that was hanging hands-free for 30 seconds, and stole it. For some reason, I had my passport in there, my driver's license, health insurance cards, my disposable camera that only had 2 exposures left, a couple of baby pictures different friends had just given me of their offspring, and £40 which I believe is approx $75. I had to go to the police station to make a report, and they all made fun of the American who said she lost her "purse" instead of "bag." Columbus Day is an American holiday, so the American embassy was closed. We spent our last rainy day at the embassy from 6:30am-4:50pm, since I needed $180 to be sent Western Union from my father to me so that I could get another passport that day, or have to stay in England indefinitely. The 5-hr time difference is in unison w/ Western Union. It SHOULD be immediate like IM. Long story short, I finally got home and got new ID's, etc, but I travel verrrry intelligently now.

Answer 2

in my view eventually somethings good is gonna happen. They will pass their drivers test, they will ace their exams. The crap that happens to them makes them stronger, weaker, desperate or suicidal. This will lead to either at least a few moments of pure elation or to their utter demise. I myself am not afraid of death to the point that i over think it but in my opinion the next life, whether its nothing, hell, heaven, or limbo could be much worse or much better than the current situation, all i know for sure is there is a limit to how long we can live in this state for now until we manage to defy aging altogether in which case we still have an expiration date. But how you live leads to the nature of your death. If you are kind most likely you'll die with family. Be an *** and you'll die alone, most likely in pain. Basically karma will probably wont effect your life, but your death eg. If you work hard and your lucky hopefully you'll die under a gorgeous blond. All i can say is dwelling on this brings no happiness, no skills and no improvement to your life. This crap that happens to good people is complete crap there is no denying it but the sooner you except death and what happens after the sooner you stop dwelling on this crap This is my opinion and if you don't like it, hey that's 13 year old minds for you ;)

Answer 3

I bought a brand new 2006 car a week ago. Five days later someone dinged my door. The next day I was rear-ended by an uninsured motorist.

The good news is that the car salesman is now my boyfriend, and he is so HOT.

Answer 4

I fell off a grape vine that was hanging down from a tree, slipped at about 10 feet off the ground, and fell (of course), hit the ground, bounced, ans then I hit my head on a tree that my brother and I pushed down...4 hours latter(after crying because I was afraid I'd get in trouble, because we were told NOT to swing on it, and we got one of my dad's friends who is a nurse to look at it to make sure I actually needed stitches) I was in the hospital getting 7 stitches in my head....and earlier that day I had a crappy day at the orthodontist. =^(
