Worst/unluckiest thing that's ever happened to me has to be when I broke my wrist.

6 weeks later I get the cast taken off. Next day I decide to go and play football (soccer). While trying to keep the ball in play, I fall backwards and land on my wrist.

I returned to the hospital and had the nurse, that took my cast off the day before, put a new one on for another 6 weeks. At least she thought it was funny.

Also found out it's a bitch to use a keyboard/mouse without your right hand.

EDIT: just realised I completely misunderstood the point of this thread.. Ah well.

A few years back our company was doing an installation at an amusement park in Beruit Lebanon. We were there about a month. Its just us boys there on Valentines day. Some of the prettier crew from the park took pity on us and we all went out for dinner... a walking tour of the city center... a night club and so on.

The next morning we board our plan. We are delayed sitting on the tarmac for an hour before taking off. Nobody thought much of it.

Back in the USA when I go through customs the officer says "Oh, I see you got out before the big bang." I replied "Pardon? What? Some big Valentines thing?" He answered "No. They blew up one of their politicos" I rush through baggage and grab the first newspaper I can find. Sure enough, there is a photo of a crater in the middle of the street where they bombed the car. About 24 hours earlier we were all standing there taking tourist photos in front of the shop and making comments about how funny McDonalds looked as McSquiggles because of the lettering.
