Bad luck comes in Threes

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Granny always said it.

First dehumidifier goes out. Got conned into a fancy schmancy new one. (I wasn’t present at the purchase, dang it Son-of-a-wrek)

Today my well pump ain’t acting right. I see a new jacuzzi in my future, not the fun kind.

What next? IRS audit? Abscessed molar? Ninjas knocking on the door?

Yep. That 3x stuff will eat your lunch.

What’s your signature line again…?

3

Yeah. I know. I think I brought it down on my own head.

4

If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.

5

Everything comes in threes, or sometimes fours. Or elevens.

6

I’m going with 7s.

7

Unlucky for me; #3 has occured. :scream:

8

That just means you start counting again.

9

Don’t count in Base 3 — 1, 2, 10!!

10

Three, sir.

Five is right out.

13

Five would kill me right off.

  1. About a month ago, we had lightning hit a tree next to our house. It took out about $600 of electronics and office equipment. Just replaced the last item yesterday.
  2. About three weeks ago, we found a leak in the water supply to our refrigerator. We’re about 1/3 of the way through drywall repair, floor replacement, and cabinet repairs. Kitchen is basically useless for 5 to 6 weeks. Estimates are about $20K.
  3. We remain apprehensive.
15

Remember, the fourth one is just the beginning of another set of three.

That has happened to me twice in my life. I no longer connect a water supply to my refrigerator. The miniscule number of times I use ice is totally not worth the risk of a leak.

Also, since it’s happened to me twice, this thread has convinced me that it would inevitably happen a third time.
