Fucking bizarre coincidences?

[Marc Summers]

I went to the mall today to get some holiday shopping done. As soon as I get out of the car, I find this old guy in a tux who cannot be taller than 4'8" waiting for me. "Can you show me where the elevators are, young man?" he asks in a raspy voice that could only be obtained through decades of drinking vodka. I pointed him in the right direction. "Oh, why thank you! I hope something good happens to you today." OK, a little creepy coming from a half-man, half-leprechaun, but whatever. Jesus, he was like that old guy you might see in some crappy fantasy movie who somehow knows everything that goes on.

Later on I see him right behind me as I walk into Borders. "Oh, it's you again! How lucky! Have a good day!" At least he's friendly. I see him twice more in two different stores, and I'm starting to think that it's no longer a coincidence, so I go home. It's dark out, so I start turning on some lights.

With every single light I turn on, the bulb burns out. This happened on the first five lights I try to turn on, but after that, the lights turned on fine.

Just...what the fuck...

Ew. Creepy.

And sadly, this was the last post Marc ever made... for right after he clicked the submit button, he was stabbed to death by the half-man half-leprechaun.

Damnit Marc.
You're meant to say:

"... when the lights finally turned on, the little old man appeared and said "where's me lucky charms?"

You may want to call the power company and tell them that you think the voltage in your house is too high.

They should send somebody to check it out and adjust it if necessary.

There are many conditions that can cause the voltage in your house to increase, and that would cause lightbulbs to blow out like you are describing.

Or maybe it was leprechaun magic.

*plays the twighlight zone theme* yeah I would be a bit creeped out too, but hey maybe it is a good thing and you might win the lotto or something

Eh, lights tend to burn out near the same time. It's because you put the old lightbulbs in around the same time.

[kahljorn]

Yea because you use all the lights in your house at the same time every time for the same amount of time.

[maggiekarp]

Some lights you do :/ Which is why not all of his lights burnt out, but the ones he tends to turn on when he gets home did.

Okay fine it was the leprechaun I'm just trying to draw attention away from our master plan
