Have you ever seen a "bad fortune" cookie message? Have any messages (good or bad) you have received, come true?

A related question on this topic, is here.

I love dining in Chinese food restaurants, and I always like getting a fortune cookie, but the messages are always so benign and “innocent” or maybe predictable is the word, because you always know that they are going to be totally innocuous.

Just once I would like to get one that reads, “You are about to lose your ass in the stock market,” or maybe, “Your new girlfriend uses Valtrex®,” and not because I would want those things to be true, but just so I could get a laugh from one of them.

I have had a few of the messages come true, but only because they are so broadly worded, that they almost have to come true, like, “You will win a lot of money from gambling.” I did. I won $900 on Keno in Las Vegas, the last time I was there.

Have you had any experiences with a fortune cookie message coming true?
