Well I had one today. It was one of those weird days where everything that happened could have been avoided by my being a few minutes late throughout the day. If I had been running late this morning I wouldn't have been nearly forced off the road by a green jeep that didn't see me until I honked at him because I was running out of road to drive on.
Then I had to go to city hall for a job thing and it turned out that I was an hour early. I didn't see the point in waiting for an hour because my work was 5 minutes away so I drove back. On the way it started pouring rain and I couldn't see out of my windshield very well and I ended up running a stop sign with a cop car right behind me.

Yes, I got pulled over.
No, I didn't get a ticket because 15 seconds into the "If I say I'm sorry enough will you let me off with a warning" conversation a huge accident happened in the stop sign intersection I had just run. So he told me to be careful and ran off to deal with the three car pile up. On the one hand if I had been on time an hour later the cop wouldn't have pulled me over. On the other hand if he hadn't pulled me over because I ran a stop sign he might not have been close enough to help the people in the accident.
Freaky right?
I was also nearly mowed down on my way to the grocery store by a guy who ran a red light. If I had been a few seconds quicker I would have been hit my the jackass who wouldn't wait three minutes for the next light.
My whole day was like that. Just a little too late or a little too early.
