A series of unfortunate events my A**!

So,my car is supposed to be "well taken care of",right?
WRONG!
I got fed up about a month ago when it needed to be fixed because something (every time a different thing) would go wrong,so instead of the usual mechanic- and dad's life long friend-i called my uncle up and told him to take Sally and fix her up once and for all.

He did.wanna know what he said?
"who the hell used to fix your car before??it's like all he did was glue everything back together instead of actually fix anything!it's a wonder that you can still drive it around"...so mechanically speaking,Sally is a miracle.

Anyhow,he fixes her up,and she comes back as good as new,i thank my uncle often,but then he keeps saying that i shouldn't thank him since my dad had to pay alot in order to get my car fixed.
problem number 1 over thankfully.

Since my method of transportation was up and running beautifully,my cell phone's screen stopped working.i initially blamed myself since i was planning on changing the cover so i figured maybe that had led to the problem.then my whole cellphone wouldn't turn on..but whatever,right?i was gonna fix it anyway.
so i take it to this cellphone place (recommended by my friend "ya3 ya3") and tell the dude what the problem is.All is good,he said he'll call later that day to tell me what the cost will be and when it will be ready,which was supposed to be the following day.
dude calls THE NEXT DAY,says the phone needs an extra day,that everything on it including sentimental msgs and all of my phonebook will be erased.plus all the events stored on my calender.i got bummed..but anyways,i love my phone and i figured what the hell...it happens...

I paid 25 jds, which granted is alot,but my phone looked good and i tried to think of it as brand new,so 2nd problem solved at last.

a few weeks ago,the battery in my car stops working.so no biggie,right?i call up a friend and after a half hour of searching (poor soul),he finds a cable,my car is charged,and all goes well,right?
WRONG!
dad kept nagging me to get a cable for my car,INCASE this incident is repeated,i wouldn't have as much trouble.
so a few days later,no battery again and no cable...2 of my friends look for half an hour a more than one place to try to find a cable.they pay 13 jds for a "good" one and charge my car.next day,i take money from the bank and buy a new battery.
3rd problem solved too.

my cell phone's screen isn't working again.i go to the same place they say its a different problem so a refund is out of the question.i go to another place they said that the problem is has now cant be fixed.
of course,all this happens after i manage to restore over 80% of my phonebook.
after juggling my sim card between 2 phones belonging to 2 of my friends,i take money from the bank and buy a new phone.
a5 a5 a5...problem 4 over with.

2 days ago,i turn on my computer and it refuses to get to windows.so today,the dude who fixes computers came over and basically said that my hard disk was "worn out".after he installed a new one,programmed my whole computer again,and fixed a few hard ware glitches here and there,he proceeded to tell me that my old hard disk should be thrown away along with hundreds of photos and songs and files collected over 4 years.

dad told me tonight that i should "ada7y" (sacrifice a lamb) during this Holiday because this much "bad luck" was unhealthy since everything happened in one month.i was thinking more of the word "expensive" rather than unlucky.
i was complaining how fed up i am getting to my mom,and what does she have to say?
"you have to look at the glass half full"...oh BOOHOO!!
the glass is freaking half full..OF SHIT!
