Stories of dumb luck

[Majora]

Got any? even moderate luck.

Yesterday, I went black friday shopping with a couple relatives. I took my phone out but put it down to check something out. I leave it right in front of me but I got distracted and forgot it. I didn't realize until I got home already but I looked up the phone number of the store I left it in and called them up. A chick answers and I ask, "Hey uh, um... I kinda left my phone in the store, could you help me out?". I waited a bit, hearing her ask around after I described it and lo and behold, phone get! I drive down to pick it up without a problem and a ton of relief.

Granted, it probably helped that the store was located in an area populated entirely by white people who aren't poor. That probably helped massively delay, if not outright prevent the theft of my phone, rofl.

ooh, I want to add a story! does it have to be racist?

[Majora]

The white guilt is strong with this one. Go give a black man some reparations if you're that haunted by it, rather than petty white-knighting on the internet.

[trudatman]

so, what you are saying is that I'm the racist and you're the realist, right? uh-huh.

I've split this off to a separate thread in GB for you two to continue flinging crap at each other. Stay on the topic of dumb luck stories.

[trudatman]

warn my balls; this guy is being racist in the guise of telling a story. when you make an official case out of it, it confirms the necessity of calling out both of these examples of bullshittery. he's being a jerk and you are protecting his actions by trying to intimidate those that point it out. you are both out of line and I am acting honorably. we can air our laundry in public over here, lest we become another Pure with its secret courts and sanctioned covert discipline.

I'm not about to explain everything that I do just to please you. I'm sorry he's a racist. I'm not sorry that I didn't address publicly the fact that he's being a douche bag. Next time you want to point out that someone's being a racist, be more tactful about addressing it, or let a moderator know so we can handle it.

trudatman I see your point here but I am going to back up Anthony because it could have been handled differently. You can always report a post to moderators if you feel it's inappropriate. Please use that feature and let the mods take care of it. That's what we are here for.

Let's get this back on topic.

My story of luck was about 6 years ago on Black Friday when I happened to wander into a Toys R Us sometime between 2-4 in the afternoon. I asked them if they had any Wii systems in stock, which I figured they wouldn't since it just released Sunday of that week. It turns out they just got a few in stock within minutes of me asking and I was able to purchase one. Pretty cool. Glad I was in the right place at the right time.

Dumb luck? Britney Spears' entire life.

I am pretty sure that @Beldaran just won.
