Broken a mirror lately? Or have you seen a black cat? Surely you didn't walk under a ladder? These urban legends have been doing the rounds for many a year as a way of explaining our bad luck.

Yet all of that will be little consolation for the following unlucky folks whose mishaps we've included in today's picture gallery. With everything having been captured on camera, we hope this unfortunate lot could at least crack a smile looking back on their bad luck...
