Got curious yesterday about why people say “two sevens clash” brings bad luck – like on July 7th. Figured I’d just try stuff myself and see what holds up. Grabbed my notebook and my phone, ready to go down a rabbit hole.
Diving In Headfirst
First thing I did was just write down anything annoying that happened yesterday, the 7th. Spilled coffee all over my clean keyboard first thing in the morning – felt like a dumb start. Then lunch plans got totally cancelled. Traffic was extra stupid coming home. Seemed like a run of bad luck, right? That felt like reason number one: stuff just goes wrong more often somehow. Like the universe just hits a glitch.
Trying to Find Patterns
Next day, I dug deeper. Went online, saw people talking about how 7 is supposed to be lucky normally, but two together? Chaos. Started looking back at old diaries and calendars. Found some notes from last year’s July 7th – argued with my neighbor over parking. Year before? Missed a flight because of delays. Okay, feeling a pattern. Reason number two: old tensions come back around this time. Annoying people resurface.
Getting Superstitious?
By afternoon, I was wondering if maybe it’s just in my head. So I tested it, kinda. Texted three friends: “Hey, notice anything weird today?” Two wrote back instantly: one dropped their phone cracking the screen, another got yelled at by their boss. Only one had a normal day. Reason three clicked: people get moody and accidents happen more. Like everyone’s on edge.
Thinking Deeper
Felt like I needed more. Why? Read some old myths and stuff about numbers. Saw 7 is spiritual, about perfection. Two perfections? They butt heads. Like reason four: too much ambition clashes, plans overload and crash. Like trying to shove too much into one day – doomed to fail. My coffee spill felt symbolic of that pressure.
The Big “Duh” Moment
By evening, feeling tired of looking. Then it hit me. Maybe I just notice the bad stuff more because it’s July 7th? Like I was waiting for trouble. So reason five, the big one: confirmation bias. We expect trouble, so we see it everywhere, blame the date. Probably the most real reason out of all five!
Wrapping Up My Messy Notes
So yeah, that was my experiment. Wrote down everything raw, saw patterns everywhere – real or not. Ended up with five main things that kinda explain the clash:
- General bad luck spikes: Feels like glitches.
- Old problems resurface: Annoying ghosts from the past.
- People snap & accidents: Moodiness on a deadline.
- Clashing ambitions: Trying too much too fast.
- We just expect trouble: Looking for it everywhere.
Don’t know if it’s magic or just our dumb brains, but keeping track like this sure makes you think twice about booking anything important on the 7th! Would I trust it fully? Nah. But it’s a fun pattern hunt.
