These People Had Luck So Bad It Was Literally Staring Them Right In The Face

Funny | 3/15/22

I think it's fair to say that we could all probably use a bit of extra luck right about now. Whether it's with love, money, or some other third thing, we're all in need of a four-leaf clover.

These people found four-leaf clovers all right, but their clovers just happened to be on fire. So the next time you accidentally spill coffee on your shirt, just think of these unlucky people.

Say Cheese!

The photographer couldn't have chosen the eyes of a student who didn't look stoned out of his mind?
