Do you believe that "bad things happen in 3s"? UPDATED

I feel like I'm just waiting for the 3rd right now ...

My dad's friend lost his mother (funeral was sunday), my husband's friend lost her grandmother-in-law today ...

And my Grandfather is has been in the hospital for the last few days to regulate his coumadin (blood thinner), a pace-maker put in later today. I wasn't worried about him, but now I'm wondering if I should be!




UPDATE:

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts! Chat Icon

The pace-maker procedure went smoothly for my Grandfather ...

I'm still not sure if I believe that things happen in 3s, but so far, fortunately, there's been no "3rd"!

No. I don't believe it.

I think it's a matter of how you are counting & the definition of "bad".

Everyone has a different way of describing it & who is to say when you start counting.

You can count up to 3 but when it's 4 you start counting over?

Re: Do you believe that "bad things happen in 3s"?

I do. Call me supersticious, call me ridiculous but I do. Now that isn't to say that there HAS to be three things but I've certainly noticed there is a bit of a trend...at least in my family.

Case in point to the nay-sayers: I lost my uncle in July 2007, my paternal grandfather in August 2007 and my maternal grandmother February 2008.

I'm sorry for your friends and extended families losses...

I hope all goes well with your grandfather.

I don't believe in it I just think if you look hard enough you will fulfill it. People die every day so it's not hard to find 3 people that something bad happened to. Some people are crazy with who they pick to fulfill their three. They will say a aunt, a friend's dog and John Wayne's brother.

ETA: Sorry for your loss. Many prayers for a speedy recovery for your grandfather Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon .

Re: Do you believe that "bad things happen in 3s"?

I feel like things in general happen in 3's. Not just bad things.

And if it doesn't I'm usually waiting for the next 2. but maybe that's the reason it actually happens in 3's b/c I watch fort he 2nd and 3rd. if that makes any sense.

like good example 3 people in my life are having babies the first and second week of Feb. odd that its 3, and I only know 3 people pregnant
