it happens to me
This happens to me often.
C'est la première fois que ça m'arrive.
This is the first time this has happened to me.
Fallait que ça m'arrive à moi !
Of all things, it had to happen to me!
— Le Voleur de bicyclette (1948)
Je ne parviens pas à croire que ça m'arrive.
I can't believe this is happening to me.
It happens to me sometimes.
C'est la première fois que ça m'arrive !
This is the first time this has happened to me!
