The Curse is Real!

You know those times on the subway where you get on the E line when you're supposed to get on the D line and you end up going the wrong way? You tell your parents many times in advance, but they don't listen, and by then you're already really far away from the destination? Well, you might have the Cassandra Curse! It originated in Greece with a woman who already knew about things in advance, but nobody would listen. You can apply this in real life to the example, or to when the Challenger space shuttle explosion. In 1986, the NASA space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after taking off. You know that rubber ring at the cap of your water bottle? That's an O-ring, and it is used to keep the water from leaking. If it is cracked, then it would leak. It is similar the the Challenger incident. In this case, the O-ring leaked gas. People tried to warn about that it would be safer to replace the ring, but instead the mission was given the go-ahead. Here's a question for you: are you cursed? 

BONUS: Since we have super undeveloped transportation, here's a more relatable example. Say that you and a friend having a good time in Downtown and you need to cross the street to get to the IceCream Store. You go to a crosswalk, and the signal takes forever to change, and it is stuck on the Red Standing-Still Man. Your friend says, "Let's just go, it'll take forever to change," while you say, "Come on, how dumb are you!? You need to wait for the Green Walking Man to appear or else it's jaywalking and you'll get run over by something." Your friend ignores you, and crosses anyway. He says, "I see those all the time on TV." Annoyed, you say, "...those are anti-jaywalking PSAs." Just then, a big tram (wait I thought we had bad transportation and our trams look super ugly anyway) and your friend gets run over. That shows how bad the curse can be. The End.
