Fate is real, and he likes to mock you

The following scenarios illustrate how Fate works in this world of his. You neither argue with him, nor avoid him. If you try, you will be mocked. Simply accept: Fate isn't your enemy; Fate is your god.

1.     Watch one episode of a television series. I dare you. One year from now, you'll turn on your TV, stumble upon that show, and realise that it's the same episode - the episode Fate chose for you.

2.    Steve comes over. He shows you a YouTube clip, thereby giving you permission to show him one.
Yes! you think to yourself. This will be great!
Two minutes in; your favourite part's coming up. Steve has to see this.
*Bzzzzd!* It's his phone. No! Don't read your petty texts! Look at the video!
Fate whispers in your ear. "He missed it."

3.     Time to drive to Jen's engagement party, but the music in your car sucks, so you turn that knob, you flick those radio stations. A song you like! Yay!
Wait... is this the first chorus or the third? This better be the start--
*Slap!* Have you no faith, fool? The song's nearly over! Bow to fate!

4.     Dear human,
Want to pass that truck on the highway? Be my guest. Meanwhile, I'll just shrink this passing lane over here… 
What? You needed that? I'm sorry; I didn't know. 
- Regards, Fate

5.     Not all hope is lost. Back at home, you still have that movie on your USB stick; and, fortunately, after plugging in USBs a thousand times, you've mastered the rotation to fit it in on the first try. The trick is to get it on the side that's-- DAMN IT, FATE!
