Defective Karma

I think there's something wrong with my karma. Or maybe it works too well. All I know is, my life is constantly filled with little hassles--the irritating things which I know are trivial on a global level, but on a personal level are like mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. Constant annoyance.

Here I was, having an absolutely fabulous day--the weather is gorgeous and I have my Mass plates. Taking my lunchtime stroll I decide I should get some money out of the ATM for the weekend. I put my card in, and the God of ATM machines ate it. I never even got a chance to put in my passcode or anything. In fact, right after I put in my card, the screen said, "Please enter card." ACK! I already did!

I called the bank responsible for the ATM. They said, "Sorry, you'll have to call your bank and ask them to issue you a new card." That was their help. Thanks ever so much.

I call my bank, and the first thing they ask, "Did you ask if someone could retrieve the card for you?"

Brilliant idea. Why didn't I think of that?

After setting them straight, I was told it would take THREE to FIVE business days to receive my new card. How am I supposed to pay for things?

So my question remains, what is wrong with my karma? Why can't things just go well for awhile? Why the constant mosquito buzzing?
