18 People Who Felt the Universe Was Working Against Them

We all have days when we feel like the universe is personally conspiring against us. Whether it’s an unlucky day at work or a bad hair day, sometimes luck is just not on our side. It helps to know that a lot of it is just a social habit we all have, and if you expect a bad thing to happen, you’re more susceptible to having it actually occur.

It’s nice to know you’re not alone when you have a terrible day, so Bright Side found 18 instances that show we all are in the same boat.

1. “What I asked for vs what I got.”

2. “I made a new art piece today. It’s called ’Cutting board in dishwasher.’”

3. “Left my new phone on the roof of my car and drove off.”

4. “So I got my girl a fruit pie thing.”

5. “Failed trying to make waffles.”

6. “Just my luck.”

7. “We were craving watermelon and as soon as the knife touched it, it burst.”

8. “Cheap shaver broke right after we started giving him his summer cut.”

9. “Asked my nephew (13yo) to unplug and bring me my mobile phone that’s been charging in my room. This is what he did to the cable.”

10. “New car”

11. “Whoever owns this pillow is going to be very sad when they come back to the laundromat.”

12. “I wanted to get Legos from the attic for my nephew, but the box snapped halfway through...”

13. “Our washer decided to become a smoke machine.”

14. “Bought a pie for my brother and I to share. Guess I’m not getting any...”

15. “This guy was recording the scenery through the bus window for about 15 minutes before he realized it wasn’t recording.”

16. “I’m getting the hang of this brand-new mower.”

17. “Today I did NOT find $500 cash on the ground, as I momentarily believed.”

18. “Got a mug to remember my favorite beach. Washed it once.”

Have you ever had something similar to these instances happen to you personally? We’d love to hear about it in the comments.
