Times of insane luck, or when life pulled through for you.

[Ultracake]

Hey escapist forumgoers, Ever had a time when luck just did something awesome and unexpected?

For me, i tried to install champions online onto my craptop. Fully expecting it to not work due to my awful intel chipset graphics card, But it actually did! quite well even!

So has anything unusually lucky happened to you?

(Also: If another topic like this has been recently made, You search bar crazies are within your right's to choke me to death with own intestines, But i demand proof beforehand)

I accidentally shot a firework into my arm, but luckily, it glanced off of it, and thankfully, didn't light my arm on fire.

A couple of weeks ago i met a really cool chick at a party but the next day my phone was stolen so i lost her number. I was due for an upgrade anyway but I was still pissed that I couldn't call her. Miraculously though, a few days later I just happened to see her walking down the street and was able to get her number again. Talk about good luck.

we were throwing things onto a bon fire, and i was dodging a barrage of roman candles beat that!

Ill take your roman candles and raise you flying shards of metal. Yes u heard me right flying shards of metal, We (me and my friends that is) were making a bonfire. When me being the idiot i am threw a barrel onto the fire. the barrel was a gas container, the barrel took a robust 10 seconds to ignite and promptly exploded on us. luckly the shards missed all of us be the fence behind us wasnt so lucky and ended up looking like swiss cheese. Ive never tried making bonfires since

For some reason I read "roman candles" as "ramen noodles".
OT: If videogames count, getting awesome in-game items worth a ton through an event on Maplestory. That's all I can remember at the moment.

Gladly. A window didn't hold on to the sides, and fell down onto all of my fingers. Luckily, none of my fingers were broken. I suppose the fact that I was 4 at the time might have had something to do with it.

well, a while ago me and a friend were looking for the same word in two dictionaries... we just flipped through the pages, both landed on exactly the same page at exactly the same time (which happened to have the word we were looking for on it) both instantly saw the word and both said "there!" at exactly the same moment.

That was a freaky moment...

It did not happen to me, but it sure as hell deserves a mention.​

Well, there was that time that I ate peanut butter and almost died. But that's more of a 'me versus life' thing. Of course, I don't blame my parents; they didn't know I was allergic, or that my own body would try to self-destruct if I had any, but fortunately their small, newly-weaned firstborn child managed to survive.

I think. I'm not entirely sure if I'm alive or dead, merely seeing my life flash before my eyes. Or maybe I'm just COMPLETELY INSANE. Or maybe they just remember the story wrong. Who knows? Anything's possible.

I can't recall anytimes I was lucky:| I guess the luck of turning around when this girl with big boobs was leaning down and I could see top boob? I dno.

I once took a standardised test for university placement and such (I think it was the ACT). I can't do maths or science to save my life, so I just guessed at pretty much every problem. I guessed so well that I got above average grades for both parts, and walked away with a 28.

Probably miraculously not losing any teeth when my idiot friend decided that it would be a good idea to spin in a circle while wielding a hockey stick. An example:

Him (spinning): "Hey, what are you doing?"

Me (turns around): "Wh-" BAM. Spits out a lot of blood.

"I hate you."

I once took a Biology test without studying at all, but I was confident that the girl behind me would give me all the answers (it was a multiple choice test). Turns out I copied the answers from the wrong person (we got 2 different sets of tests), so I was preparing for a big fat F. But when the test came back, I was the only student in class to get a perfect score. How lucky is that?
