One in five people consider themselves to be “unlucky,” according to a new poll. And it’s not for no reason.
The average person will experience 543 unlucky events this year. That’s just over 10 a week. But one in 10 think Leap Years are luckier than normal years. (???) So maybe you’ll have a few less than that in 2024?
People were asked to name the unluckiest things that can happen to you on any given day. Here are the Top 10 . . .
1. Losing something.
2. Stepping in dog poop.
3. Spilling on yourself.
4. When you hit every red light.
5. A flat tire.
6. A car drives by and splashes you with water.
7. Losing a competition or contest. Like a lottery ticket that doesn’t hit.
8. Tripping or falling down in public.
9. You try to order something at a restaurant, but they’re out of it.
10. Getting caught in the rain with no umbrella.
One more random stat: Three in four people have been pooped on by a bird, which is supposed to be GOOD luck . . . and 37% of us would welcome it again.
