When it all goes wrong at once

Life can be really sucky at times - I'm sure boilers never go wrong in the summer!
Fix them one by one and you'll be fine.

I gave a friend a lift home once because they had crashed their car only for someone to drive into mine while it was parked outside her house.

Aye, why have drizzle when you can have a monsoon? Don't take it personally!

Hope you get it all sorted.

I feel your pain. Everything comes at once. You'll get through it though.

Awful but to some extent it might be "better" if it all happens at once and you go on a mission to sort all the shit than it being spread and feeling like a never ending series of hassle.

Sons motorbike has engine problem so I’m running him to work. Then lady pulls out of sideroad into my car and writes it off. Then dad’s car breaks down so he can’t do school run for us. Then shower pump breaks down requiring a replacement. Turned the central heating on yesterday and it appears the pump is broken on that….and it’s most likely boxed in behind a kitchen cabinet.
I am slowly working my way through dealing with the problems but feeling that fate is not smiling on me at the moment.
Moan over.

Ah man I sympathise massively! I always seem to have stuff like this as well:

Currently:
-had a thankfully small house fire last weekend, but need to clean and repaint lounge, launder everything, repair/replace damaged stuff
-sink tap plumbing started leaking, flooded kitchen
-garden flooded (unrelated to above)
-car key stopped working, got stranded as mobile also stopped working at this exact moment!
-daughter #1 got scarlet fever
-daughter #2 got diarrhoea

I gave a friend a lift home once because they had crashed their car only for someone to drive into mine while it was parked outside her house.

A few years ago a friend received a call from her boyfriend saying he was in hospital after a car accident and wanted her to take some things in for him. Off she went, only to have a car career into her as she was approaching the hospital car park, breaking her wrist.

Sometimes, weird sh1t just happens.

If it's any consolation someone drove into my car in Tescos car park and I trod in dog turd while inspecting the damage at home...

When I was a yoot out on my paper round, I helped some random bloke by push starting his car one very cold wintery morning. It burst into life and as he pulled away, he drove over me boik. B'stard.

Pick em off one at a time OP, the one that's peeing you off the most first. It's all ya can do. Oh, and avoid contact with multi21's daughters obv. 🙃

Yesterday I was already late to take the kids to swimming lessons and the road was blocked because a sheep had escaped and nobody could catch it, just chasing it up and down the road.

I heroically tackled it and picked it up to put it back over the fence and just as I was accepting my adulation from onlookers it did a massive wee down my front. The kids couldn't have cared less about my heroics but did think it was funny I was covered in pi$$. I got some funny looks from other parents at the pool too.

I've had some of those exact issues all at the same time too! Shower pump leak, coolant leak in car, bathroom extractor fan broke, son hurt his foot so driving him to school. Led driver in living room light broke...etc ..etc...etc

The boiler pump was indeed boxed in behind a kitchen cabinet which I had to remove. All you have to do is free off the impeller with a screwdriver and they spring into life again. Who knew ?

If you manage to clear another one today, the reward is spirit of choice (it is in our house).

When something is going wrong they all go wrong at the same time.
3 weeks ago while I was trying to start working on something important, my internet stopped working. Then while attempting to reset the router to factory setting I deleted the interface (router interface only via web it's FritzBox). Arrrghhh ... took me 3 days to get it connected again. Got connection after I ordered a new TP Link for £150 from my ISP and while waiting for it to arrive.

Winner!

Dont burn yersen...

Clearly you must've done something really fun to deserve this. That's how karma works, right?

It'll be a great Christmas after all that messing about though!

Could be worse, given your username.

Nope.

Past karma can happen anytime in present and future life(s).
Immediate karma in this life time.
Karma created in present life will bear fruits in current or immediate next life or future lives time.
All will depends on whether the cup is already full and spill over.

The 6 immediate karma that will bear fruits in this life time or immediately.

Injuring or harming Buddha
Injuring or harming Arahants (non-returner or those soon to become a Buddha)
Injuring or harming the sinless
Injuring or harming the one that repents completely (this is like turning into a new person completely - like one of Buddha's bandit disciple who was brutal killed by the villagers after they remembered him and that's his karma, but the villagers got even worst karma because he was no longer the murderous person he was)
Injuring or harming mother
Injuring or harming father

These are the six heavy sins that will ensure you (soul and spirits) get lock up for aeon.

I feel ya. Same kinda month actually year here. Cat died April, dog died October, shit bathroom installers ****ed up our tiling then put scare tactics solicitors on to us over the dispute, now the porch roof and extension flat roof are leaking and no-one has come back with a quote after several weeks. Also trying to sort out a crappy bathroom job done at my mum's that's failed after less than 2 years and the only tradesperson to reply to requests has turned out to also be rubbish and I had to work out why water was pissing out the brand new shower screen he fitted was because he'd put the door on upside down and left the rubber seal in the airing cupboard as it wouldn't fit, also left loads of gaps in sealant. Garrrrrgh!!
