Luck or Chance?


I work at the Colesville Plaza. From the steps of the Plaza I can watch the metro trains come and go as it shuttles people from MD to DC and vice versa. EVERYDAY, and I mean EVERYDAY, no matter what time I leave work - whether it is 5 minutes early, on time, or 5 minutes late - I ALWAYS see the train to wherever I am headed, be it MD or DC, coming in. As I see the train begin to pull up to the station I start to SPRINT(shoes permitting the speed) down the stairs frantically trying to find my wallet to get my metro pass out, shove it in the metro card thing, and sprint up the escalators. EVERYDAY as I reach the top of the escalators the doors are still open. My heart leaps with joy as I run toward the open door. Just as I am about 5ft away EVERYDAY the doors close. I am just far enough away that I can't squeeze myself through the door. Needless to say I am very bothered! So am I just the most unlucky person in the world? Or is it chance?
