Reddit asked, “What statistically improbable thing happened to you?” Some of the responses:

– “I have been hit in the head by live squirrels three times in my life each on separate occasions.”
– “I had a terrible day where my then GF broke up with me, then I did terribly in a final exam for a college class, then I lost my wallet, and finally, as I was doing the sad walk back home a random branch broke off a tree and fell on top of me and hit me square across the shoulder and knocked me to the ground. I just burst out laughing because it was so ridiculous.”

– “I was on a road trip with my cousins in the 80s. One of them kept playing the same song over and over by rewinding the tape and playing it again. The song was “Another One Bites The Dust.” After three plays in a row the driver pulls out the tape, says enough! And turned on the radio… Sure enough that song was playing on the radio right then.”
