The title describes what is happening to me these days. A number of successive problems and some form of incident/equipment failure after another. Here is a glance:

My car was hit while parked in front of the house, Son needed same car because his own car needed to be fixed in a workshop, I used my other bigger car and it had a problem, so it needed to be fixed

Meanwhile, we had a serious problem of water service completely shut down in our neighbourhood, and I had a hospital appointment I should not miss

Brother in another town insisted I bring the whole family for a gathering in remembrance of our late mother and father, and we had no functioning car, nor enough time to go.

My brother thought I am exaggerating and making up excuses

So, yes
We need day-to-day survival skills
