Makο Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I seem to have problems with Jinxing myself. Almost every time I predict something (that is bad) will happen, it seems to come true. Here is a sample that happens far too often. Me playing Black Ops. I kill someone. "Hmm...I bet the instant I hit the reload button, a guy will come around the corner and frag me." *Hits reload button* A guy comes around the corner. I get fragged. "Crap." How often do you Jinx yourself/others? inb4thepokemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Starrk Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 2007 World Series. Rockies vs Red Sox. Rockies at home. I was at the game. I said, "OMG the rockies are gonna win" before the game even started. Then, about the 3rd inning, They had already really lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Duel Tournament If I draw a kuriboh, I can win this duel. I drew a kuriboh because of my opponent's card and he activated card destruction. I drew my last Kuriboh and he had reload. I ended up losing and he won my Kuriboh.

Makο Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Did you predict your loss? It only works if you predict a mal-fortune about yourself or others, and it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anbu-of-Sand Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 It was my class in Grade 7 vs. another Grade 7 class for the School's Finals. We started out 2-0, and around the end of the first or second period, I said "We are so going to win", then some people started bitching at me for [b]j[/b]inxing our teams winning streak. A period after I believe we tied 2-2, but ended up winning at the end through an old fashion shootout. Funny thing was the person we didn't want on the team in the first place got us the game winning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKPLANT RISING Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well, so one day, I got really angry at this blond uncle of one my friends who bullied her, and so I killed him. Then, I got really angry at this blond pedodoctor, and then he killed himself. Then, I got really angry at this gray-haired policeman, and then he dissapeared. Then, suddenly, one of my friends who I didn't feel really angry at died on her house's front porch. Then, I got really angry at my town, and everyone there died except me. So much for coincidences.

Mehmani Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 [quote name='Halubaris Maphotika' timestamp='1301949796' post='5114538'] "Oh my god Libya is so small on this map geez poor guys probably aren't on the news much HA! I bet you some idiot is going to make the people mad and then they will be on the news for days..." [/quote] I said those exact words a couple of years ago (except for the small part, Libya is actually bigger than France). Being logical, I decided that if I say that I am not going to win or do well I normally end up doing well. That way if I win I can celebrate my intelligent use of reverse psychology and if I lose I can say I saw it coming. I'm such a horrible person.

Mehmani Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Self-fulfilling prophecies are a real psychological phenomenon, and how often they actually occur is shocking. Seeing as I am so socially unpredictable, I find that telling myself to do something actually means I won't do it, therefore (as I referred to earlier) I often tell myself that I will lose or fail to do something and due to this opposite effect, my subconscious makes an active effort to win.
