How awesome is your luck?

[King of the Sandbox]

Me? Well, I just found out that the snack machine in my hotel was mis-programed to charge .05 cents for chips instead of the regular .50 cents.

So, I now have every bag of chips that was in the machine sitting on my desk. HUZZAH!

But the luckiest I've ever been was when I found 700 dollars at a gas station, on my birthday. I was just going about my business, my birthday sure to be a bummer because I was putting my last 3 bucks in gas, when I find a wad just sitting on the concrete base of the pump island. Let's just say, my impromptu b-day party was banging.

What's the luckiest you've ever been? Is it usually good or bad?

oka, for those too lazy to look.

Lucky in Love?
I dont know... I've hard so far 3 girlfriends, each one is devoted to the relationship, and we understand one another. One Died, the other it just wouldnt have worked out, and the third (current) is going strong. I've had enough girls be comfortable around me where if I desired I could probably make that leap to relationship. But then again... the whole have had three, one died and hte other we broke up (on mutual terms) sways that.

Lucky in Competitions?
I'm skilled in competition, but I do get luck. There's been plenty of hockey shots I was lucky to make or advancements I would make in online competitions because my stats where just alittle bit better (usually by one). However, as I said on the you Goofed Up thread, in the intermural hockey playoffs at my college, I scored the losing goal on my own net when I tried to just give a hard slap shot to the other side of the ice.

Lucky in General?
I'd say I'm fifty fifty.

Though it helps when you dont believe in bad luck.

Though the luckiest I've ever been was probably the day I scored a Natty Hatty (Natural Hat Trick) and a Gordie Howe Hat Trick while play intermural ice hockey in the same game.

My luck is not good. In fact it's down right terrible. I can think of no great moments when I've come out and declared "Well that was lucky."

Probably a good thing because I've learned not to rely on luck and to stay out of casinos.

My luck is terrible. There's an entire subset article to Murphy's Law that applies directly to me.

 

[Lullabye]

I've avoided dying every day so far. So I'm better off than alot of people right now.
Also, I always win Rock-Paper-Scissors. Just lucky like that.

Casino's are like black holes for luck for me, too. Though, I did come out ahead by 20 pounds during my last visit to one when I was in England. ^_^

My luck is weird. I constantly get in situations that, frankly, should have killed me. More than is even remotely reasonable. I survive each and every one of these, as you can see. So... good and bad? Self-negating?

 

[BoredDragon]

lol at my first glance I thought the title read "How good is your fuck?"

OT:
Not very good, why just last week I *one funny story later*... and there was walrus meat all over the walls.

Captcha: Everar returning

Omg the prophecy is true :O

 

[DefunctTheory]

I have both bad and good luck. I have bad enough luck to get into horrible situations, and good enough luck to get out, every time, without a scratch.

I've been in two car accidents that should have killed me, survived a brain injury that, by all rights, should have popped my skull open, warded off RPG fire, dodged mortar fire, avoided getting run over by 30+ ton vehicles, and survived electrical shocks that should have fried my guts.

none, and if i ever find myself w/ some, i generally end up sharing it

When it comes to games/lotteries my luck is usually 15% successful. Other times not so much.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

Horrible, absolutely horrible. I'm more likely to find prices have been increased to high enough that I can't pay than to find money. Also I have a nice habit of waiting in line for a train for half an hour, just to have the platform changed...then changed BACK once I get there, putting me in the same spot but in a situation where I can't possibly have a seat for the next 90 minutes.

Oh the joys of life.

 

[dark_mist34]

I was at a casino went to play video slot games can't remember the name but someone left $75 worth of credits i ended up walking away with $106 after playing on it for 5 mins.

If that's the case, then you should only play the lottery 15% of the time and, BINGO! Winner every time. ^-^

My luck is generally odd more than anything. Case in point:
My brother and I went to watch Zombieland on the last night that it was showing in town. The movie started at 7:30, and it was 7:15 when he finally arrived to pick me up. There was a horrible car accident that had him caught in traffic for half an hour.

On the way to the theatre all the way across town, we were both freaking out. It didn't help that we were stuck behind possibly the longest string of slow drivers in history (They all had handicap plates, so I don't hold it entirely against them). We hit every single light red, my brother almost got into two accidents himself because there were quite a few reckless drivers to complement the incredibly slow, and when we finally arrived, we were 30 minutes late and without tickets or the means to pay for 'em without going inside first and withdrawing money, setting us back further.

We walked inside to withdraw said money, and the theatre was noticeably empty. Looking around, we saw nobody at the ticket window, and nobody taking tickets. Deciding that waiting for somebody to arrive at their post at the ticket window would be too time consuming, we decided to sneak into the movie and watch the remaining hour or so.

Walking into the theatre, the movie wasn't playing, and there was an usher apologizing profusely to the small crowd there. We asked him what the problem was, and it turned out that they got the reels mixed up.
So, long story short, the mess was sorted, we saw Zombieland for free, and we received free movie passes. Easily the greatest luck turnaround I think I've ever experienced.

NICE! Great movie choice, too.

I usually feel that I do terrible on tests and such, but then I wind up getting an A or B with minimal to no studying at all. I think my luck is pretty damn good.

 

[darth.pixie]

My middle name is Luck.

Mind you, my first name's Bad.

There are some situations but mostly...it sucks.

 

[Bobbity]

It swings pretty damned widely, most of the time.
