can bad luck be a disease?

and once you catch it can you ever get rid of it?

when i was 17 i hit this guy's car in the high school parking lot. i had a 1982 chrysler 5th Avenue. it was 1998. he had a brand new ford explorer.

when i was 18 i rear ended my boyfriend. my car was totaled. he made me buy him a new bumper even though it wasn't even scratched. we broke up.

when i was 20 i was rear ended in my volvo by a crazy lady in an SUV. she was talking on the phone. i was stopped at a crosswalk. my car was totaled. i was forced to buy a much crappier one.

three weeks ago a pedestrian in the little city walked out in front of a truck. the truck slammed on its brakes, another truck hit the first truck. i hit the second truck and my car front went underneath. my car was totaled. no damage to either truck. the pedestrian didn't even stop, she just headed into the museum like j-walking wasn't a crime.

this week my roommate let me borrow her car. today it was broken into via the passenger's side window. the idiot who did it reached in and opened the other doors, popped the trunk, threw everything onto the side walk and only stole the jumper cables.

not so much bad luck. i think the gods are trying to tell you: dont drive! move somewhere you can cycle/walk everywhere. so glad j-walking isnt a crime in dublin. the people need to reclaim the streets!
maybe the idiot who broke in really needed jumper cables cause his wife was going into labor or something?

Don't you already live somewhere you can pretty much cycle or walk everywhere?

"When I was 18 I rear ended my boyfriend" - now be honest, how many (straight) people out there can say that? I'm just glad I didn't know you then.

how did the fifth avenue do against the explorer?

Have you ever thought there might be a message about not driving in there somewhere???.... just a thought!

i think that bravemouth is right and i shoukd give up driving altogether.

the fifth ave lost an entirely metal bumper that i tied back on with rope and it kept right an driving.
