Sometimes, it’s just not your day. Here are some signs that you may have done something to displease the New York City gods:
1. Every subway train you try to get pulls away just as your cross the turnstile
2. Subways are delayed and you’re waiting 20 minutes for a train
3. It’s 2am, you’re trying to get home, and your subway train isn’t even running at your stop

5. You lose your Metrocard
6. ^And it still has at least 2 weeks left on it
7. You check the weather in the morning, but it still rains

9. You go underground just as your friend texts you to say everyone is actually meeting downtown, not uptown
10. The sidewalk is closed on both sides of the street

13. ^Ditto for the last ticket to Shakespeare In The Park
14. Your toilet breaks on a Saturday at 9pm
15. You discover too late that the place you ordered Chinese from has actually had several health department violations
17. You find out from Twitter that Beyonce walked by Macy’s 10 minutes after you left
18. The hole in the wall where you always get your coffee didn’t make it
19. Your landlord suddenly decides to start enforcing the “no pets” rule
20. Your heat breaks on the coldest day of the winter
21. That cliche puddle splash when a truck drives by
