What is Crapenstance?


I have traveled quite a bit in the past year in support of my autobiographical project 48 days in harajuku, tokyo.

It seems like I'd have a strange run-in with a random person in each city I would visit. These encounters always kind of irk me. They are usually 100% unwanted, but they end up being funny.

I think of these types of encounters as a crappy happenstance or a Crapenstance.
