13 Things That Could Go Terribly Wrong on Friday the 13th

Jenn - Wagner College — Fri, 13 May 2011 13:00:51 +0000

Brace yourself ladies, because today is not just any other Friday.

Today is Friday the 13th.

The day of bad luck and cursed lives and black cats and broken mirrors. Today is a day to fear. Today is a day to lock our doors and stay inside. Why is Friday the 13th supposed to be such an unlucky day, you ask? I think it has something to do with the superstitions surrounding the 13th and Fridays in general (guess Rebecca Black never heard about that) joining together to be the ultimate source of bad luck on Friday the 13th. And as a result there are lots of horrors that await us. Is it true? I doubt it. But even so, you might want to prepare yourself.

For anything.

Here are 13 unlucky situations (AKA, every college girl’s worst nightmare) you better wish you don’t find yourself in on this unlucky Friday the 13th.

1. Your hair straighter/dryer/curling breaks minutes before your big date… with only half your head done.

2. You sleep through your final exam.

3. Your hard drive crashes…before you printed out your final paper.

4. The guy you’ve been crushing on goes Facebook official with your frenemy.

5. Your train reroutes on the way to your interview.

6. You accidentally send a sext to your parents.

7. The heel of your shoe breaks as you’re walking to the bar.

8. Your favorite celebrity couple calls it quits.

9. They’re out of Red Bull at the Stop and Shop.

10. The guy who cut in front of you in line got the winning lotto ticket.

11. You pull a muscle at the gym. Between your legs.

12.You get food poisoning from the dining hall special.

13.Your professor overhears you bad mouthing him…right before it’s time to put in final grades.

Alright ladies, what would be the worse thing that could happen to you on Friday the 13th?

Are You Scared Sh*tless Yet?: Allstate’s Horribly Depressing Ad Campaign

The time has come for someone to say something. The madness has to stop. What madness am I talking about? Those effing Allstate Commercials. You know, the ones that make you afraid to do anything? The ones that have you scared to even look at your car for fear of instant bad luck or even death? Yeah. Those.

I’m not sure which Allstate bigwig hired Debbie Downer as their ad executive, but whoever decided depressing people into buying insurance was a good idea should be punched in the eye.

Below are a few of the offending commercials we found on YouTube. Not surprisingly, most of the worst ones did not show up. This is probably because Allstate knows they’re being f*cktards.


The "If You Try To Drink Coffee While Driving, You Will Get Into A Serious Accident And Probably Break Your Neck" Allstate commercial

The “If You Don’t Have Accident Forgiveness Your Car Is Most Likely Going To Smash Into A Police Cruiser” Allstate commercial


The "Without Allstate Your New Shiny Car WILL Be Ruined" Allstate commercial

And finally, the worst one of them all, The “Don’t Ever Try To Be Happy Because Everything That Can Go Wrong Will Including Your Wedding Turning Into A FUNERAL” Allstate commercial
