Well that's just my luck

Luck is an interesting thing, isn't it? Even though it doesn't actually exist, you can get screwed over by it. I've had my fair share of bad luck, some including games, buying shit and other stuff. It's about 11:00 pm here, so I might go to bed/the gym and finish this later. Anyways, here are a few examples of my bad luck.

Mp3 fuckery.
So today I bought a new Mp3 player. It turns out that my old 250mb mp3 player was a piece of shit covered in bad so I thought it would be good for an upgrade. I strolled into radio shack and waited for some old guy to buy whatever he was buying so I could take a look at the mp3 players in the front glass thingy in front of the register.

I saw a zune, knew that I didn't have enough money for it, so I asked the dude what a good mp3 player was that had around 1gb and was about $50. He pointed me to a really really tiny 2gb mp3 player that I could actually choke on if I wasn't careful. I bought it, go online to troubleshoot (didn't know how to charge it, it didn't come with an AC adapter) and found that woot.com was selling it for 19.95. While I just spent enough money to buy a new game, I could have gotten it for so much cheaper. Major facepalms happened.

Three Extra Zeros
So, if you didn't know, I play EVE online. The incredibly boring spaceship simulator MMO. Today I went with my friend and some other guys, and went looting when they did missions. Actually, it was one guy missioning, another assisting in killing, another salvaging and me looting. After a short wait at a warp gate, they told me it was safe to warp in. I did, and when I got there I immediatly saw a npc rat(rat = short for pirate. as in, space pirate) right infront of me. Thinking that it wouldn't attack me, I typed "lol rat" and immediatly got targeted and attacked.

While trying to warp the fuck out of there in my slow hauler, I got killed and lots of parts destroyed. I warped back to home station, looked at the market to buy a new hauler and saw that the only one was 400,000,000isk. Four. Hundred. Mil. For a BESTOWER. I told my corpies and they laughed and said that it's bullshit, so I bought a sigil instead and kept looting. Later, when I was done and counting all of my shiny minerals I just reproccesed, I took a look at the market and saw that Bestowers have gone down to 500k. I was furious, told my corp, a guy made fun of me, I got pissed and I logged off. Now I am here telling you people, from wherever you came from.
