Burnt toast theory
A social media nugget of wisdom
I wake up, make coffee and prepare to go for a run. It’s 5:30 in the morning, I need to be at work at 9, should be ok for time.
I light up a cigarette, but have not noticed one was already in my mouth. I burn myself and drop the mug of coffee in my lap.
Shit…
I quickly get changed, clean up and try to make up for lost time.
5 minutes into the run I hear a loud explosion, I look to my left and a car swerves towards me, no time to react, it inches in front of me and crashes into a pole.
The car tire suddenly exploded and the driver lost control.
The burnt toast theory originated on TikTok of all places and it basically is about small blessing in disguise as inconveniences.
If I hadn’t had the events in the morning delaying me I would have ended under the car.
What's you burn toast story?
