Why do things seem to happen at the worse possible time?

I don’t really believe in luck, but recently I’ve been thinking of getting a horseshoe or four leafed clover. 

Things just always seem to happen at the most inconvenient times.

Package you ordered being out for delivery for 3 days that needs signing on delivery? Your damn right that it will come during the 5 minutes your on the toilet. During the last 2 days you’ve spent sitting at home waiting, always having someone available to run down and sign? No. The exact worse moment when you are the only one around and are incapacitated. 

If that example seems a little specific, it’s because it just happened to me 10 minutes ago.

Should I go buy a rabbits foot? 

Update:

This isn’t the only time this has happened to me or anything. I’m not just sitting here wining about one specific time. It always seems to be this way. Be it a stomach ache at a wedding in the middle of nowhere, a bird pooping on my head or shoulder (every time I’m under flying birds), unpredicted rain on the day I want to do yard work, and any other minor to major inconvenience the word wants to throw me way.

    You just notice it more when the timing is bad.

    Things seem to be generally unlucky right now, hang tight, your luck will change at some point. I wouldn't invest in a rabbits foot just yet.

    And its very annoying when you miss your package, I had that happen to me recently I'd been so quiet for hours listening out for the door to knock, and I hadn't moved from the front room for ages then I decided to take a chance and go to the bathroom and you've guessed it! Knock knock! 🙄🙄🙄 So annoying!
