I am giving a competitive exam. During my exams my brother got ill, so all my family members went to the hospital in order to examine my brother. Home alone, I learn that they will not return for two days, then I got ill with a serious allergy so that I can't even write my exams.

Is there any proverb to explain above situation?

Editing to above context is valid.

    Isn't there another particularly appropriate to this situation? Something like "Trouble comes in threes." Commented Mar 23, 2015 at 18:16

It's (just) one thing after another!

  • something that you say when bad things keep happening to you.

    • We had our car stolen last week. It's one thing after another at the moment.
