Well I was wondering if there are any stories that happened to people due to misunderstandings, weird coincidences or sheer bad luck to people in fact? I remember a time someone I know was out walking at a waterfall and tried to jump over a rock and fell and broke their leg and had to crawl to the car and he waved at a car but they just waved back but then a car did stop an ambulance came and took him to the hospital and over a month later he got the plaster off his leg also and all was alright. Another time my aunt walked down road to a fast food takeaway with my mother and somebody else and you could say What could possibly go wrong? A short distance down the road she fell off the kerb at a place she was going over and fell flat on her face. Someone else was caught speeding twice in a couple of days on the same road and someone’s house got broken into twice where house was near a road in a short period of time. Somebody tried to carry out a robbery at a conference centre but there was a delegation of 200 police officers and he got caught. In September 1987 someone tried to steal a car in Weymouth in England failed to notice a couple of police officers sitting inside it and got caught. Any other stories like things going wrong?
