The universe has an incredible way of getting in the way of our daily lives from time to time.
From cars frozen in ice blocks to curses that were put on mailbox thieves, here are 16+ people who tried to do something and the universe went ‘Nope!”
“Friend went to Tennessee for some sightseeing…”

Sign: “See Seven States!”
God: “Not so fast you presumptuous a*s!”
Nice One Todd!

Okay, so I guess that Todd is more to blame here than the universe, for whatever he did to get lightsaber night cancelled. Although, the universe may have been acting vicariously through Todd!
“48yo husband was excited to get his One Wheel yesterday. 24 hours later, his foot is in a cast.”

Getting old really does s**k for making a person ridiculously injury prone, perhaps best exemplified by one person in the comments who added, “I pulled a muscle getting out of bed the other day…”
“There was an attempt to get assistance from emergency services…”

“Call someone else to help!”
“But…who else is there?”
“I don’t know! Just call someone!”
“When the pipes burst overnight and you have to go to work in the morning…”

Oh, wow. Better get boiling the kettle, it’s gonna take a long time to get through that ice!
“Somebody returned this person’s dog p**p…”

Nothing like seeing someone get what they deserve. Especially if they’re the kind of person who leaves their dog’s p**p on the floor!
I Guess The Universe Doesn’t Love The Front Line Workers…

Someone pretty accurately dubbed this sign to be, “The ‘we will call you heroes instead of a pay raise’ sign.” Hooray for government.
“A Bad American Curse!”

All they wanted to do was steal some American mailboxes and now their whole family is cursed. Who hasn’t been in this b****y situation before, am I right?
“Explain deadlock with a picture…”

“Yeah, what are you going to do now, Dave, I have your greatest weapon in my possession!”
“Holy h**l… You can talk?!”
They Just Wanted To Go On A Bike Ride…

On the plus side, they wouldn’t need to worry about anyone stealing their bike for the time being!
“Tried to buzzcut my hair because all the barbers were closed, clipper called it quits halfway through. 4 days until my Amazon one arrives…”

I hope that this guy has a nice selection of hats in his house! Also, I suppose it’s good that most people are meant to be staying indoors at the moment!
“Look I’ve heard it’s rough in AUS, but South Africa hits different. No morning swim today.”

Look, you could still go for a swim if you weren’t a coward! It’s not like tigers are going to eat you…probably.
Super Helpful!

I’m gathering from this sign that they basically just can’t be arsed dealing with customers and so they have found a foolproof way to keep people out.
“I now remember that yesterday I wanted a cool soda…”

Oh, this is making me feel nauseous just looking at it, the worst type of mess is a sticky mess.
“Someone’s nail got stuck in the elevator button.”

I don’t know what is creeping me out more, the idea of someone’s nail pinging off in this way or the fact that this person just left it hanging there!
Seemed Like A Foolproof Plan!

“You’re under arrest!”
“What?! Did you not read the shirt?!”
“Oh, c**p, let him go boys, he’s got us.”
“All of a sudden, screw my weight loss progress!”

I’m struggling to work out whether it is on the top or the bottom of the glass. But, either way, I wouldn’t be putting my feet anywhere near that.
“To cut wires you need to have the power off…”

Something about this tells me that they didn’t turn off the power before trying to do this. I’m not sure what is telling me that, I just have a feeling.
“A tragedy happened here.”

This looks like someone trapped this man’s soul in that wall to haunt passersby for all eternity! When, in reality, there is probably just a man covered in dirty water nearby swearing to himself.
Environmentally Friendly!

No, no they aren’t. Although, I kind of like the barefaced confidence with which they’re just blatantly lying!
