Do you ever feel like one of those people that always has strange things happen to them?

I was asleep in my recliner about 4am. I woke up because I thought I heard someone beating on my door. I jumped up and ran to look out the door, but didn’t see anything. I thought Oh, I just had a dream. Then the door bell rang and I could see a cop looking in my front window. I opened the door and went out on the porch to see why a cop was beating my door down at 4am. He told me that a dog had been fighting a possum in my back yard. The possum was injured so he shot it. Apparently after he shot it, it ran under the woodpile in my yard. He just wanted to make sure the gunshot didn’t frighten us. I said, no, I didn’t hear the gun shot, but you’re door banging frightened me! He was going to be in my yard looking for the possum, so he could get rid of it. I thought it was all really strange and random. I told the cop to go ahead. I talked to him a couple more minutes and went back to sleep. Don’t ask my why or how the cop knew a possum and a dog were having a death match in my yard. I’m guessing someone heard it and called the cops? I’m clueless.

I called my grandma and was telling her about it after I woke back up this morning. And then it hit me. I was dead asleep when the cop knocked on the door. It never occured to me at the time, but I stood on my porch and talked to him for several minutes in a tshirt and underwear! Grandma said you didn’t realize that you were in your unders? I said, No, I just kept thinking about how cold my feet were!

Does weird stuff like that ever happen to you? Everyone I told this story to laughed and said, That could only happen to you. Do you have any examples?
