Burnt toast theory

Burnt toast theory is the idea that if you burn your toast before work and it adds five to 10 minutes to your trip, it's actually saving you from something catastrophic. It could be saving you from a car accident or saving you from someone who you don't want to run into,etc

This is the idea that inconveniences in our lives, or when something releases us in the universe, it's either saving us from something more detrimental or pushing us in the direction that we need to go in.

Does anybody believe this theory? Discuss.

No I don't believe in that theory. It might occasionally save you from a catastrophe but 99.99 recurring times it just a darn inconvenience.

Yes and no. Most little things are coincidental but if something stopped me being in a life threatening situation, I'd say it wasn't my time yet.

I don't believe it, but think it's an incredible coping mechanism to stop the little inconveniences build into something more

It could more easily put us in more danger as we are now rushing and might speed or be careless crossing the road.

I don't like how the word 'theory' has been overloaded in such a way that whatever this 'burnt toast' thing is (fantasy?) can be called a theory.

But, in answer to the question, no, because theories shouldn't require belief, they should require evidence.

A variation of the Sliding Doors theory, but not including Gwynneth Paltrow.

The one were you smell burnt toast,means a Heart attack is imminent.

No i dont. Events aren't connected. It's like.... Coincidence? I was sat having a hair kit while at the same time somebody somewhere is eating an iced lolly.

I don't believe it, as I don't know of any evidence that supports it.

It's a nice thought but that's it. The opposite could easy be true. Being late from toast means you get hit by a car that would have missed you if you were there 10 mins earlier.

It's trying to justify positive thinking which is something that doesn't need to be justified.

You can just choose not to let negative things ruin your day. It doesn't need cosmic intervention.

couple, us we him her.

You will drive yourself insane if you start with this logic.

Things happen, simple.

You could go the other way with the burnt toast theory.

It causes you to jump a light as running late then WHAMMY! You are toast.

Everything we do every second of every day has consequences.

So just live and be dammed!

I've heard American Christians call gravity a theory

Wasn't there a matt Damon film based on a similar premise where it was people burning the toast

Of all the things that could be created to make magical effects, this seems a bit low down there, when really great things could be made instead.

This is why I don't like the overloading.

Because it's true, gravity is a theory but a very specific theory - a scientific theory, "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment."

It's a theory that can be quickly dispensed with by any statistician. Or anyone with half a brain.
