For a lot of us, luck is simply a pipe dream. While those who are lucky as hell breeze through life, the rest of us keep getting pooped on by birds and getting ill-fated scratch cards.
From impossibly strong mailboxes to unbelievable golf shots, here are 15+ people who are ridiculously lucky!

Saving Their Father From Gravity…
The individual who posted this wrote, “The other day my dad fell off a 10 ft ladder and through a drop ceiling. I just happened to be walking by and was able to catch him on his way down. This was the tile he went through and now his Christmas present is finished.”
Well…Now You Have Two Cats I Guess?
Apparently, according to this unfortunate cat owner, “My cat went missing for 2 days, so I put an advert on Facebook. Literally 5 mins after my cat comes to the door. 30 mins later, my neighbour comes and drops off what he thought was my cat. Now I have two identical cats.”
“My brother hit every pin except 7 8 9 and 10. How odd is that?”
This is a truly weird event, but you’ve got to admit that this kid shrugs in the most cartoonishly accurate way possible. It’s a weird skill but this kid is nailing it.
“A pole flew through my [friend’s] windshield while driving down I-80 outside of Berkeley, California almost impaling him.”
The key thing here is “almost.” Although, I don’t think that I would ever be able to relax for the rest of my life after this incident.
“Was swiping at the dispensary when I looked up and saw the girl I was about to swipe on.”
What is also weird is that she is wearing the same outfit. Girl, get some more clothes!
“Landslide splits just before hitting a farm in Iceland. Happened this morning. No one got hurt.”
I think that I would have died of a heart attack just looking at that landslide plummet toward my house before it even reached me.
“Really glad I bought this robot vacuum…”
Okay, so maybe this is more on the unlucky end of the spectrum, but I simply couldn’t leave it out! What are the odds?
“These two car owners should play the lottery today. Not a scratch on either car.”
People need to stop parking their lamp posts so irresponsibly in parking lots if you ask me!
“I got lucky that I noticed before I started brushing.”
Well, this made my knees go weak. I cannot imagine how many times I would have to wash my mouth out if I had gone through with this.
“Safety specs saved this guy’s eye from an exploding angle grinder disc.”
There is a reason why they are called “safety” glasses I guess. They should put this on the website of whoever made those glasses!
It’s Always Good To Carry Change!
The person who posted this wrote, “My great-grandfather was shot in the chest by a German soldier during World War 1. Luckily, the coins in his breast pocket absorbed the bullet and saved his life. You could say he didn’t need much money…to survive.”
“I was a little too lucky today (that’s a sewer and my car key).”
I don’t think that I have ever been as lucky as this in my entire life, and I don’t think that I ever will be!
“Close Call!”
It is amazing how this kid is still oblivious to what is happening while everyone around them tries to get out of the way.
What A Good Boy!
What an adorably lucky sight! I only ever see red lights and people swearing at one another when I’m driving around.
“Tough to argue with a sign like this.”
I wish that I got signs like this, but I just have to draw rainbows on my car windshield in order to pretend that I have God’s permission to drink like this.
“Hole-in-one? Direct hit while drinking his beer. Close call!”
I mean, if you’re going to be drinking Coors Light then you kind of have to expect this sort of thing to happen to you! Well…so long as you’re also playing golf, I guess.
“Well, that was a near miss!”
They’re really getting darker and darker with some of the fortunes in fortune cookies.
“Showed up at my school library today.”
I don’t know why this person took this photo while running past it, but whoever got that fee waived is lucky nonetheless.
“Saw this lucky guy today.”
Forgot that game show prize winners exist outside of said game show they won.
“Very lucky Monday morning so far.”
And probably very unlucky for whoever parks there next. It can only be missed so many times.
“Had a close call tonight, these just look [too] similar.”
Don’t worry, the laxative is gentle . It would have been a soothing night awake.
One For The Road.
That looks way too deliberate to be a packaging error, someone wanted you to have a good day!
“A friend from my work […] was given the chance to be a tour manager for [a] band. This is one of the many problems he has had to deal with so far…”
Much like n earlier entry, this isn’t good luck, but it is pretty funny that it happens so often. You’d think concert venues would know better!
“Found this gem on my timeline […].”
The tension here is immaculate. I hope they race and then kiss after.
“So I dropped my bag of chips […].”
Only one way to find out! Try your hand at saving those chips, see what happens.
“No one was injured.”
This is way too Final Destination for my tastes, but I’m glad no one was hurt.
“Definition of a close call.”
Playing darts in flip flops is unnecessarily dangerous. It’s like getting naked then slapping a bee hive.
Close Shave.
That man was a few millimeters away from a free nose job. A bad one, but a free one.
“Almost…”
Call me crazy, but I do not think that cats like being set on fire…which is just bloody typical of cats, those arrogant buggers.
