just my luck
Of course, right?
Just my luck is an ironic expression of resigned frustration when something goes wrong, suggesting the speaker expects misfortune as a matter of course: Just my luck—the one day I forget my umbrella, it pours.
The phrase implies wry acceptance rather than genuine surprise, as if bad luck were the speaker's personal default.
