It’s confirmed, I *AM* cursed.
So the power went out in the whole building. Four units. OFC *MY* unit is the ONLY unit where the power is NOT back on. The other units/floors power went back on immediately. But I’m the only one left with NO power. The rest of the block has power too. Just. Not. Fucking. Me.
And family left. They won’t get back till very late, and even then, it’s unlikely they care to fix it late tonight. So that means no power for all of today and all of tonight. And all morning. And likely most of tomorrow too. Who knows if or when it’ll be fixed. And NO electricity is hell. I need SOMETHING on. But NO ONE cares. FML. Today is the worst day to lose power too. It’s raining so no one’s coming to fix the electricity. Can’t go to the store to pick up a flashlight or food either.
So bc the rest of the house has power, family don’t care that *I* don’t have power. JFC, why does everyone else have power but I don’t. OFC this is just the kind of shit to happen to ME.
This kind of shit ALWAYS happens to me. I am a math/science/logic person. I don’t normally believe in things like “curses,” but this kind of shit has ALWAYS happened to me, where for SOME fucking reason, *I* am the only one that gets consistently screwed, time and time again. Situation after situation. WHY? This kind of shit really does fucking happen to just ME. SOMEHOW, back luck seem to always find ME.
There’s 1 or 2 other ppl I’ve met that’s like me- bad things always happen to them no matter what. And they’re like me- it’s not like things we do like drugs, alcohol, hanging with bad ppl, etc that cause bad shit to occur.
But those 1-2 ppl and me aside, the rest of the world seems to have normal “luck,” some good some bad. THIS is why I am so pessimistic about life. How can I be all positive and sunshiney and “everything will be fine” kind of person when NOTHING in my life is “fine?” When bad things consistently happen to me time and time again, and it’s not due to ME doing bad or stupid things to cause them.

uck, I know that suckage. Earlier this year we lost power for a week. We had family to go to after the first day, but it was still pretty rough not having my bed, my home.
hopefully the temperatures are tolerable.
any progress? was just thinking about your situation and (perhaps fruitlessly) hoped things had gotten better.
well the power is back but the room has NO fucking insulation so it’s simultaneously hot and humid as fuck during the day and cold as balls during the night -_-
it’s literally gone from 4 mo of summer hell, to freezing cold. The outside weather is actually not horrible now, but bc there’s NO insulation in my shitty room, I’ve been freezing the past 2 weeks. And it’s only Sept. Not even cold yet compared to how Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb is going to be. UGH. IDK what to do. I fucking HATE it here -_-
If the house is getting power, then the solution could be really simple…just reset the jumper to your room or unit. Ofc you’d need access to the fusebox.
Sometimes you have to try different jumpers, but the one that’s loose and usually looks out of place is most likely yours. Sometimes you need to do some trial/error.
Also I’m sorry to hear…trust me it’s not just you. Sometimes I’ve gone through shit, asking “why me” when bad things happen….and like you I have a science/math bkgd.
It’s just statistics and you’ll find that there could be many people in a similar situation to yours or even worse.
The thing is that people like you and I probably expected to be in a better position in life and not have to deal with petty crap like this.
Over time, (I live with my mom) we’ve steadily improved our living situation. While our current place still have problems, it’s much nicer than our last place and that one had many issues to deal with. So happy we’re no longer there any more.
I’m hoping in due time (perhaps a year or two) to increase my income and if I can’t buy a condo or house, I’ll try to at least rent it (which is very costly in my city) but at least you have full peace of mind and you’re not sharing your unit with anyone else…as Sartre once said ‘hell is other people.’
I have other ideas I’m working on, but they’re all longshots. So the next realistic goal is to find a partner who is working and that boost in income will allow us to buy our own property for sure.
I just wish I had smartened up in my 20s and 30s…rather later in life. But ofc we can’t change the past, we have to work on making our present and future better.
Correction in my post above (which is under review currently):
I meant to say where I live there are 2 separate units-we live in one of them and we don’t share ours with anyone.
i relate. It’s the worst feeling when you don’t actually do anything to cause the bad things that happen but they always happen to you. it’s like bad luck has an attraction towards people who are already feeling like shit.
