It Only Happens To Me

celtprincess13Ok, everyone can update their list of things that only happen to me:
Tuesday night, I got conned into sewing some curtain panels together for a friend of mine. I'm merrily sewing away and sewed right through the tip of my left index finger. Much blood and ouchy. And I managed to break the needle into four pieces--that's one tough finger!
Then this morning, as I put on my seatbelt I felt something poking me in the leg. I figured it was just a sharp piece of thread or something. I brushed at it and came on to work. When I got to work and went to use the restroom, out of my skirt fell a half-crushed WASP. Which, as I then discovered, had managed to sting me twice. Unreal.
So I took Benadryl to avoid the usual progression of swelling/itching and all day, I've felt like just going right to sleep.
Also, at various times in the last two weeks since I got my new office chair at work, I have managed to nearly kick it out from under me as I was sitting down. One of these times, I know my ass is going to hit the floor.
So, share: What unusual shit happens to you all?

I'm hopping around cringing in sympathy at the sewing machine accident. Lord a'mighty, that hurts just to think about it! You're lucky you didn't hit the bone. Or did you?!
And the wasp. WTF?! Who's lemonade did you piss in darlin'? ;)
And unusual stuff? Not a thing, other than I allowed my 4-yr-old guilt trip me into playing 'ponies' with her and her stable of 1.4 million My Little Pony figures. WAH!

Ponies, huh? Now see, I can play Barbies or other dolls like that, but I would be at a loss with ponies. They were popular (the first time, ha!) when I was a little too old to catch the appeal.

~hugs~
ARGH!
