My front lawn. Every political yard sign results in the candidate losing.

I think it’s because you’re an actual leftist trapped in a place that has two Republican parties.

Pls let me put Trump sign on lawn

Trust me, we've talked about it

My house. 8 years in we have replaced all windows, the kitchen because of a flood from upstairs, HVAC, 1 side of the fence when the pool collapsed, replacement pool, redone all floors...and the yellow nut sedge keeps coming back no matter what I do.

After an abusive relationship had ended and I was rebuilding my life, I spent significant effort going through my stuff and getting rid of things my abusive ex had given me. They may not actually have been cursed, but I certainly felt a lot better when they were gone.

My printer, of course.

I bought my meditation cushion in a store in Boulder where the cushions are sewn by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum. So probably that. Maybe I shouldn't be meditating on that thing.

As someone who lived in/around Boulder for many years, let me just say that is SO BOULDER.

I have an accessory item with a name on it, from the clothing of a person who was killed. I never met this person.

I found it while doing cleanup of the scene where they died. It had no investigative value, so was trash, but I didn't feel right throwing it away. I kept it, in hopes of giving it to someone close to them, but life kept moving and I ended up with it.

Besides, if you throw it out you can't talk to Mr Emerald any more. Mr Emerald needs a friend now that his original neighbor is dead.

A dude was quitting magic the gathering cuz he played it with his ex. Bought his collection. Found a non-precious metal wedding band. I don't know where it is now, perhaps it rolled it's way to smeagol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Check again. Maybe it's got Phasing.

My weed jar. The curse is that it always has less than I thought I put in it.

The Sonichu medallion that was gifted to me, let's just say things have been interesting to say the least.

Nick Rekieta, a minor YouTube e-celeb was gifted a Sonichu medallion and wore it. Currently his life is not going great.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah. Same one, a friend gave it to me late into its associated history. I can confirm it has come with a higher sense of attentiveness towards negative happenings, though those around me seem far more alarmed at this and its potential existence as a cursed object than I am.

[–] NorthWestWind 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My hands. They break everything that comes into contact.

[–] AA5B 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Man, I used to think I was so handy, doing household, appliance, and car repairs, etc ……

It’s been a while since I needed to do anything, and now I have this cursed ikea furniture. Somehow it took three weekends to put a bed together, and it’s not even done since I broke another part. I’ve never before broken ikea furniture on assembly and have never needed support or replacement parts, yet this effing bed has needed replacements twice.

I don’t know if my hands are cursed and I’ll never again be handy, or if it’s ikea

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That object, my friend, is me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

This is my answer. When things seem to be going well, something bad is about to happen

[–] Rhynoplaz 8 points 2 days ago

Gotta be this brain of mine.

There is a ghost living in my mouse that makes it inexplicably turn off every now and then
