15 People Who Know the Real Meaning of Being Unlucky

It isn’t news that we all sometimes take our day-to-day life for granted. We can go about our business and complain that here and there we may have bad luck. But maybe, somewhere out there, somebody’s having a worse day than you.

What is bad luck, anyway? Different cultures have their own take on the idea. For instance, in South Korea, it is believed that shaking your legs means shaking your wealth off. If you do that, you’re inviting some trouble.

4. “Hail damage to my grandparents’ patio chair”

5. “The ear-shaped handle broke off of my Vincent van Gogh coffee mug.”

6. “Just normal milk shattered a glass perfectly in 2 and exploded the milk across the kitchen.”
