My wife cheated on me. That was lucky because, when her family found out, she was humiliated, and didn’t demand that I sell the house to give her half, she just walked away. Had she not cheated, and just divorced me, I likely would have been forced to sell the house at the bottom of the market. We would have each gotten less than $10,000.

Now, the mortgage is nearly paid off, and the house is worth three times what it was when we divorced.

I was in the upstairs bathroom at my parents’ place which had a skylight you could open. I did, and half of a hornet’s nest fell from it. I slammed the window shut as quick as I could and then looked down. The other half was floating in the toilet with the hornets momentarily dazed. I closed the lid and flushed. When I peeked under the lid, it was gone.

I got run over by a car some ten years ago. Despite the windshield being smashed in, i didn’t get any injury except the big bloody wound on my head and some scratches around my body. Had i hit the frame instead of the windshield i would have probably had my skull fractured.

Reno: I put a dollar into a penny slot, pressed two buttons, won $1700, and immediately cashed out.

When I was a baby I started choking while inside a shop. we were on holiday abroad and it was sheer luck that a doctor was in the shop and he saved my life

I won some Tupperware at bingo in the church basement when I was nine years old.

I met one of my now closest friends at the end of a Halloween party just as things were shutting down and everyone was leaving.

As she was walking by, she randomly announced that she was going to see a band next week. One that I had already bought tickets for. We talked briefly and exchanged numbers. We saw the band together and hung out a few more times but I think after the third time we hung out, we knew we were best friends.

We both weren’t even supposed to go to that Halloween party. Both of us had very different plans and somehow ended up at the party as something to do. The timing for us to meet was just so tiny and it doesn’t even feel real sometimes.

When I was 17 I was driving my mom’s car. Suddenly the neighborhood seemed very dark so I stopped. I was sitting on a boat ramp into the Gulf of Mexico.

One night in college I was driving down a street that runs parallel to railroad tracks and then jogs to cross them. As I crossed I glanced over to see a train right outside my passenger door.

I don’t know how I got lucky enough to find my husband.

Being born a cis white male in the USA. It’s not right, but it was lucky.

I’ll come back with an answer more in line with the intent of the question if I see this again later.

Seriously, my life is (unfairly) so much easier than it could have been. That’s not lost on me. Let’s change that.

Moments after unloading a patient from my ambulance, a jeep slammed into the rear end. It was blamed on “solar glare”.

My partner, myself, and our patient probably would’ve been killed.

Found out the lower control arm on my car was barely held on with one bolt that was so loose it rattled while I drove. Had my transmission replaced and they didn’t totally button up the sub-frame after they were done. I was one hard turn away from finding out what happens when only one tire goes horizontal at highway speeds for about 3 months

My ex was having a girls night with some friends and accidentally butt dialled me while she was having sex with her ex, I could hear them clearly but she had no idea. She came home acting like everything was normal, I would never have known if it weren’t for the butt dial, dodged a bullet

My wife cheated on me and I met a wonderful woman who treats me so well…

I was working on my car and had one of the springs out tightened down with a spring compressor. I stupidly had it stood upright with my face over it. I moved out of the way momentarily and the spring compressor broke, launching the spring like four stories into the sky landing in a field next to us. Don’t know what that would’ve done to me if it hit me in the face.

I was quite lucky finding cash on the ground some time ago. I found 50 euro bill two times, 20 one time 10 another one and i think 5 one or two times.
