Cocheta: Now that sounds like fun! The OP is missing in action anyway. We could get away with it without being reprimanded!
Or we could follow on in the spirit of the thread, and post about unfortunate people
1. Sitting in a chair without killing yourself is the standard procedure for the majority of chair users. Unless you're sitting on a ninja posing as a piece of furniture, the act of parking your butt on a surface is not a complicated endeavour. Just don't tell that to the elderly British woman who required a firefighter rescue after she got trapped in an unforgiving deck chair.
Deck chairs are the third leading cause of death in Britain, beaten only by tea-related burns and overly jagged crumpets.
So picture the things that had to go wrong for this scenario to take place: One, the fabric on the seat of the unnamed woman's chair broke. Two, she happened to be just the right size to get her butt wedged through the frame of the chair. Not just overweight, because a really fat person would have enough power behind their girth to just the break the whole frame. This woman had to be just big enough to get stuck, and just weak enough to not be able to do a damn thing about it. Oh, and her phone was out of reach. And considering that she was sunbathing at the time, this could have ended in the world's most "you're going to hell for laughing about this" obituary. The good news is that at 9 p.m. that night, a neighbour came by to water the octogenarian's plants. The bad news is that even the helpful neighbor couldn't get this poor woman (who survived the incident, albeit dehydrated and sunburned) out of her chair-trap, and the fire department was called for the rescue.

@molly Ouch!
What about unfortunate cookies Fortune cookies hold so much promise, but predictions like, "An exciting opportunity lies ahead," aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
How about changing ordinary fortunes such as "A thrilling time is in your immediate future," with pure magic like, "You just ate cat".
Nayansaharia: So what you think, whom will you say most unfortunate?
I think it will be the lawyer reading the will, telling the family that Grandma left all her money to her cats and it is ironclad. Hey they were the only ones there for her those last 10 years.
