Do you have clothes that are doomed? Every time you put on that shirt or tie or skirt, it seems like someone spills a drink on it, or you get rained on, or a car splatters you or... I have a suit that cannot be worn half a day without something bad happening to it. The first time I ever had it on-- the first time-- I was being interviewed. The man was very nervous and kept making these jerky, spastic movements with his hands and arms. For some reason a candle was burning on the table between us. At one point the guy swung his arm in a big crazy arc and knocked the burning candle right at me. A ribbon of hot lavender wax went down the arm of the jacket. But that was only the beginning. The next time I wore the suit I put a roller ball pen in the pants pocket and it leaked. The first time this suit went to the dry cleaner it came back with the zipper broken, etc. For some reason that suit is jinxed or hexed or accident-prone or just not liked by the gods. Maybe in its last life it was an enemy uniform and now it's paying back its karmic debt.
