Default tell us your "it could only happen to me" stories

i'll get the ball rolling with 2 stories typical of my bad luck.

Cossie broke down on new years day, phoned the recovery serive, got picked up, hooning down the M1 80odd, as the guy liked cossies and was aspeed freak, got to dunstable, started to piss down with rain and then the rear wheel fell off of the recovery truck sending us skidding down the road with my cossie on the back i had to run back up the road trying to find the wheel nuts and we only found 3, reackon some must have fallen off on the motorway lol. took fookin hours to wait for a recovery tuck to recover the origianl recovery truck

When i picked up my RS Turbo i was towing home using a tow bar and the fooker snapped, sending the rs into the back of my laguna, I was thinking of just giving up at this point and emigrating

come on whats your stories

Took 3dr off the road to rebuild engine,started smelling but musty inside so opened window............

2 mice entered car and thanked me for my kind hospitality in giving them refuge by chewing holes in every seat both base and backrest and even big chunk out of handbrake.

i now need all seats for a 3dr
