For my game, of course, not Neopets. If you're not playing already, you can check it out here:
http://sweeneyalpha.com

If you're not familiar with the context and backstory for your suggestions, you can see a quick rundown in the video here:

Spoiler


There are three kinds of random events - good stuff (Serendipity!), bad stuff (Misfortune!) and does-fuck-all stuff (Happenstance!). Right now, we have a mere five happenstances and one serendipity, which I am listing for some context in a spoiler below. What I want is a buttload of interesting suggestions for things that could happen to your character while you're out and about, from all categories of random events. They mustn't be too powerful, or too soul-crushing, but other than that the sky is basically the limit. Show me how balls-to-the-wall-creative you can be, assholes ^_^

"You glance around and look both ways before crossing that path, that doesn't stop a carriage from barreling past you nearly ending your life. Good thing a nearby Pedestrian pulled you to safety."

"You tripped on a rock. X happens."

"A penny rolls down the lane toward you. You wait anxiously to see if it lands heads up. Sadly though it falls face flat. Sucks to be you."

After an hour of heavy discussion, you convince yourself that you might have superpowers. You focus your mind on the pile of small rocks in front of you, concentrating harder with every second that passes. Feeling something powerful building up inside you, you use a large burst of energy... but the rocks don't move. Instead, you just shit yourself.

 

Or something like that, you get the idea :p

"Strat is angry for no reason. He releases a horde of Koalas at you. You lose 5 reputation"

Well, this has been a spectacularly disappointing thread.

You should make people feel bad for being a sore loser.

 

I fell into a crevasse at 94.

You suddenly become very self conscious and wonder if your clothes make your butt look big.

 

You think you feel something brush up against you.  You turn around, and catch sight of a two-foot tall humanoid scampering away with something in its hands.  Checking your bags, you notice you are missing (item name).  That little thief!

 

A wave of dizziness hits you, and you pass out.  After several minutes you come to, realizing that you have a splitting headache, your hair matted with blood.  You must have hit your head on a rock when you fell.  (Take 1d4+2 damage.)

 

You wonder why you have a sudden craving for pickles.  You haven't had a pickle in a long time.

 

It is dark.  You have been eaten by a grue.

 

You hear a sound like a bell being tinkled rhythmically, then it stops.  You hear someone say, "Hello?"  They continue talking for a few minutes, with pauses here and there as if they're listening to something.  They must be mad, talking to themselves like that.

 

Your stomach is killing you.  You try to will away the pain, but it doesn't work.  You vomit, spluttering and choking.  Afterward, you feel better, but a little weaker than before.  (Temporary loss of 2-3 toughness points)

You notice a glint of silver on the ground. You bend over to pick it up only to realise that you have now torn your underwear. Oh dear.

You suddenly feel lightheaded. Maybe those berries you picked earlier were poisonous after all... (lose... strength?)
