i hate broken glass, what's your weakness?
3I have the best luck of anyone I’ve ever met. You’re about to start hearing my stories, and I think you’ll agree. The one area that doesn’t apply is broken glass. I stepped on a glass on the way to bed, it immediately embedded itself in my foot, there’s glass scttered everywhere beteween my bed and the door (despite my best efforts to collect it) and somehow, even though it broke on the foor, I just pickjed a half inch chunk of it out of my bed.
Do any of you seem to have one area where your luck is just shit?

I love broken glass, we used to go down to Bellerive Park and toss the empty bottles off the cliff at Hooverville just to listen to them break.
I’ve also been pretty lucky too. My bad luck is eye-hand coordination, I had to quit playing baseball because I didn’t like getting hit in the head. (Maybe that explains a lot?)
The only lottery I’ve ever “won” was the draft lottery, but even that turned out well, because I found my profession in the Army.
@2many2no
Some would suggest that you also “won” the “lottery” of being born.
But what would I know? I’m a penguin.

And yet, I still have not figured out a way to get a complete tumbleweed delivered here.
@PlacidPenguin Maybe we start with a baby tumbleweed and you stick it in a pot and wait patiently for the metamorphosis?
Hmm… that just might work…
@ruouttaurmind
Fine. Find me a tumbleweed nest.
I’ll also need to know which of the tumbleweed’s parents guards the nest, as well as how many baby tumbleweed’s there are in this particular nest.
@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Out here, if you are patient, one will just tumble up to your door. They deliver themselves.
I am constantly getting nails or bolts in my car’s tires. These things seem to have a special affinity for new tires. I finally bought a portable tire inflator that I keep in my car for these special occasions and have already had an opportunity to use it a few times. My mechanic isn’t surprised to see me when I stop by to have a tire plugged.
@heartny Right there with you. I not only carry a portable inflator (I highly recommend this little guy) but I carry a plug kit too.
@cinoclav I think I may need to get a plug kit too. My inflator is from Slime. I liked the name. Reviews look rather bad, so maybe I should take a look at the one you got.
@heartny I’ve owned several over the years and this is by far the best. Fills faster and it’s much quieter than the typical inflator of this type and size.
The boys and I threw a bunch of burned-out 4 foot florescent tubes at each other back when I was a teenager. It was real funner.
Might have been somewhere @heartny was driving…sorry @heartny.
@therealjrn I haven’t had the bad fortune of getting glass in my tires yet, just nails and bolts. But of course now that you mentioned it, I’m sure I can look forward to it happening soon.
@heartny
If you want, I could come sprinkle glass shards around your tires.
@heartny @therealjrn Nope, don’t worry. They will eventually end up in my feet. My feet are, always have been, and always will be magnets for broken glass.
Doesn’t matter who cleaned it, how well, or how long it’s been- my feet will find that glass.
I have no luck. I’m the one that gets caught. You learn to compensate.
It’s not a matter of luck, but these are my Easter time weakness.
It’s red heads. Mouth hangs open and I lose any vestiges of intellect. Completely visceral nothing I can do about it.

@cranky1950 Oh God yes. And the more freckles the better.
@cinoclav @cranky1950 freckles, yes!
Redhead, yes!
@cranky1950 @RiotDemon I was thinking a little more…
Something something about keeping glasses on the floor?
