Butterfly Effect: come up with an example?

Question

If you can think of a time in your life that something minor ended up causing a series of events leading up to a huge/meaningful event.......

let's hear it.

I'll throw out my example if this thing gets any real answers

Answer 1

My air conditioner broke when I was a freshman in college.  I didn't know a thing about them (it was a loose connection).  The airconditioner repairman offered me a job as a helper. Since then I have spent the last 30 years in the airconditioning business.

Answer 2

kissed my friends boyfriend. she got mad and told everybody. i got a punch  in the face. i fought back. i got suspended for two days. Is that good enough for you?

Answer 3

I once got a flat while driving on a long stretch of highway. I pulled over and changed it. It took about 10 minutes, not a biggie. I continued driving for about five minutesonly to see a huge accident in the road. It had happened about 15 minutes earlier. I would have been dead if that tire didn't blow.

I believe God did it for me.
