32. When you really need to talk to someone on the phone, their line is busy or the power goes out.
33. Power outages always happen during your favorite TV show, but never when shows you hate are on.

34. You run out of something you really need. Hurriedly buy some more, even though it's high-prized. Next day, it's on a 30% discount.

35. You're watching a movie intently, and during the few seconds that you're not paying attention, something important happens.
36. You go to check out a book at the library or rent a movie, but they don't have the movie or book you want.
37. You go to the store to get something, and there's only one of that item left. Then, when you're reaching for it, someone else takes it.
38. It's New Year's Eve, and you're really excited about staying up. Then, you fall asleep a few minutes before midnight.

Luckily, only number 36 has happened to me.

37. you buy gas, then the next day gas prices drop twenty cents, but by the time you NEED gas again its raised back up to what it was before.

Thain Peregrin Took I · 04-01-2006, 11:43 PM

40. Your car doesn't need gas, until you're far away from a gas station.
41. You're going skiing, and the one time that you leave the chains for your tires at home, you need them. Then you can't go skiing because you're not allowed to go on the roads without chains.

Edit: What happens if we're able to come up with more than 101 facts of life?

Um...No comment! *looks around hurriedly and walks away whistling*

42. The stop light turns red just before your car reaches it.
43. The street crossing sign turns from 'walk' to 'don't walk' just before you start crossing the street.

Nautipus · 03-21-2008, 10:59 AM

#44. You get in all the classes you want, then the school loses some paperwork and you lose them all, only for the school to find the paperwork afterwards.

#46. They one time you are gonna be late for a far away class, you pull onto the highway in front of a cop.

The last sane person · 03-21-2008, 10:54 PM

OOoooooh....Dont even get me started on #46....

Thain Peregrin Took I · 03-22-2008, 11:31 PM

Wow... This thread's been revived. I almost forgot about it. Lol.

47. You find a shirt in a clearance rack. It fits perfectly, and it's totally adorable. When you get to the register, it turns out that it wasn't on clearance and it's mega expensive, and someone had just put it on the clearance rack by accident (or on purpose, if they're evil...

)

BeardofPants · 03-22-2008, 11:41 PM

Don't the things on the clearance rack normally have price tags on them?

Usually, but sometimes it will be like "50% off marked price" and then it will have a little sign that shows what the new prices would be, or there will be a sign that says "$3" or something, and the thing that you pick out looks similar to the other things on the rack, so you just don't bother to look at the price.

Haha! I didn't even recognize it.

48. You open your own, recently revived thread and, not recognizing it, say to yourself "My, what a strange thread."
49. The one time you key up your radio transmitter and the transmission actually hits the repeater, you're just testing and have no time to talk.
