35 Things People Are Convinced Have Only Happened to Them

Some situations have such a slim chance of occurring that they’re deemed “statistically unlikely.” There are others, however, that are so bizarre that no one could find them conceivable enough to apply a statistic of any kind to them. For instance: Have you ever thought about the chances of someone having a live bat fly into their face and get hooked onto their braces? Probably not. What about the likelihood of getting struck by lightning while masturbating? Never crossed your mind, right? 

And yet, those are exactly the kinds of things Redditors recalled when talking about situations they’re convinced have only happened to them — and in most of these cases, we really hope they’re right.
