Three days of pure bad luck made me wonder if someone was messing with me

Monday my car battery died. Tuesday I got a flat tire on the way to work. Wednesday the ER was a zoo and I had three code blues in one shift. That's 48 hours of straight chaos. Has anyone else had a week where everything lined up like a coordinated attack?

Yeah that "coordinated attack" thing really hits home. I had a stretch where my fridge died, then my car's AC went out in July, and I got a parking ticket all in the same week. My advice is to double check the obvious stuff first like battery terminals and tire pressure sensors, sometimes it's just a loose wire or a slow leak that looks worse than it is. For the ER stuff, if you can, try to have a small emergency kit in your car with jumper cables and a tire inflator, it saves you from the spiral of bad luck feeling like it's following you around.

I've had weeks like that too, and @matthewgonzalez is spot on about not ignoring the little things that add up fast.
