Once I planned to have a picnic on a Saturday. I checked the weather forecast which said it would be sunny. But on that day, it rained cats and dogs. It was the wrong day and wrong time as all my picnic stuff got wet and we had to go back home.
One 'wrong day wrong time' story could be when a person showed up for a job interview a day early. They were all dressed up and ready, but the office was empty and they realized their mistake. It was quite embarrassing for them.
We can learn to be more flexible. For example, in the picnic story, if I had been more flexible and had a backup plan like going to a nearby indoor place instead, it would have been better.
I don't know who the author of the 'wrong day wrong time novel' is. There are so many novels out there and this one isn't widely known to me without further research.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with such a title or concept. It might be a story where events occur at inopportune times on the wrong days, perhaps leading to a series of misadventures or misunderstandings for the characters.
Sure. For example, at a wedding. The wrong date was printed on some of the invitations. Some guests showed up on the wrong day. They were confused and the couple had to explain the mix - up. It was a bit of a chaos.
A third theme could be legal troubles. Sometimes, people end up in the middle of illegal activities without their knowledge. For instance, a person could be at a party where some drugs are found later. Even if they had nothing to do with it, they can still get into trouble just because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. This shows how unlucky one can be in such situations.
There is this story about a tourist. She was taking pictures near a building in a foreign city. Unbeknownst to her, there was a political protest starting there. The authorities came and for a while, she was held because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She had no idea what was going on and was just trying to take some nice photos.
Sure. There was a guy who walked into a bank just as the security system malfunctioned and the alarms went off. He got tackled by the security guards before he could even explain he was just there to deposit a check. Another one is a woman who showed up at a construction site right when a huge beam fell. She was just passing by to get to the other side of the street but it looked like she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
