But the phrase “that’s the story of my life” is usually used sarcastically when something goes against your wishes. If you always seem to get dumped for someone else or if it always rains whenever you try to plan an outdoor event you can say the phrase to hint that nothing goes the way you want it to.

For example, I always take my time when I answer Yahoo! questions and never respond fast enough to be first. Story of my life.

“Good Lord! I messed up again. Oh, well, that’s the story of my life”.

This person lives with the expectation that life will always devour all the delicious meat and throw him the leftover bones, if anything.

Glommed means stolen from by me, so it means they get stuff taken from them a lot. Unless it’s a typo, then oh well, you hopefully get the picture.

Like when a guy approaches my friend instead of me I would say “that’s the story of my life”.
