I am looking for an expression to decribe a person who perpetually finds themselves witnessing bizarre situations. For instance, maybe their classmates or professors are always doing something unexpected and said person is often there to watch it as it happens.

For context: I'd like to use this expression when I have finished telling several stories about the interesting characters from my school, and wanted to round them up with a brief summarising, self-deprecating statement of what an \*unlucky person I am or what a magnet for bizarre characters I am. But I don't think "unlucky" or the magnet metaphor makes the cut; it could be more humorous, colorful, or creative.
