My week of perfect parking spots made me suspicious

I had a run of good luck last week that was so weird it actually made me nervous. It started Monday when I pulled into the grocery store lot and the front row spot right by the door opened up as I approached. Then Tuesday at the hardware store, same thing, someone pulled out just as I got there. By Wednesday I found a spot directly in front of the post office during lunch rush. Thursday I parked at the movie theater and got the last spot in the shade on a 95 degree day. By Friday I was genuinely waiting for something bad to happen because life doesn't work that way. My wife thinks I'm nuts but I told her it's like those times when everything goes wrong for a week straight, this was the opposite. Has anyone else ever had a streak of perfect timing like this and did it freak you out too?

So you're worried the universe is setting you up for a parking ticket that'll ruin your whole year?

My neighbor literally got a $200 parking ticket on the same day her car got keyed and her cat ran away. It's like the universe SAVES up all the small annoying things and dumps them on you in one week. I've noticed this pattern with late fees, broken phone chargers, and missing socks too. They all seem to gang up on you when you're already having a bad month.

Whoa hold on @lily_torres31 said her cat ran away?? Thats awful and yeah the universe definitely seems to keep a tally on all that stuff. I swear my luck with parking is so bad that finding a spot at all feels like a trap, like youre just delaying the inevitable flat tire or something.
