Forums - General Discussion - When Things Happen At The Wrong Time

We've been there. Something going wrong when you desperately need it to go right. Such as a flat tire before you go to work or overcooking a dinner that was meant for a lot of people.

Got any examples?

As for me one of the most annoying things that happens pretty frequently is when Im driving and using my phones GPS to get to an unfamilair location when all of a sudden, BAM! I get a phone call. It blocks the screen and whether I answer or decline it'll take the phone off of the GPS... which causes me to have to put it back on mid-driving. 

More recently I need to call a company that is interested in hiring me. I was going to today when my phone froze and conveniently deleted all of my contacts. Including that one. Plus all my photos. And no the number came directly from the employer. So his number isnt on an email or anywhere else. So I'll need to contact him tomorrow. x.x

When I get called, interrupted or required somewhere else during an important cutscene that I can't pause no matter what I do.

Home button should pause everything, right?

Usually when someone needs to talk me when Im playing a game, 99% of the time that happens when Im in a cutscene or an important moment of the game that i cant pause.Its like the universe is mocking with me.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

No, it's all coincidence.

Fate is what you make of it.

My friend changed my ringtone to a fire alarm sound. I forgot to change it, and with my luck, it went off during a final in one of my classes. I always have it off, but it seems like god wanted to screw with me for forgetting to silent my phone once.

Needless to say, it scared everyone and made my teacher hold a grudge against me for quite some time.



Okay, so I fractured my arm at work and was out for 10 weeks. It happened right at the elbow so they didn't put a cast on it but I could do absolutely nothing with that arm. No straightening or bending.

Right after that, the position that I really wanted opened up. I'm 80% sure they would have given it to me.

A few days later, a large dog got killed on the road and the corpse ended up right beside my mailbox.

Then we had a snowstorm and snow and ice got piled up on top of the dog from where they cleared the road.

At least my mom gave me a big jar of pickles for Christmas.



This usually happens when I'm streaming a game. Offline, I'm doing a really good job. I'll test everything. The game, sound levels etc. When i go online. I mess up and wasted peoples time. With the audio being muted. Or some other nonsense. It happens most of the time. When i'm streaming my consoles. So I'm not near the PC.

My phone loves to lock up the audio. If I try to use Siri, as it's switching from wifi to LTE. So I have to reboot the phone. While I'm outside fiddling with junk.

Not in every game, unfortunately. Try using home button in Dark Souls, for example. See how fun it is. xD



I guess when I all of a sudden had to take a huge shit during exam? It was a really intolerable few hours having to hold it in!
