Default Flat tire

This is my 3rd flat rear tire in 6 weeks. Luckily I made it home before they went flat. The 2nd one started going flat a couple of miles from home but I made it.
What am I doing wrong? Bad Karma? I don't think i've pissed anyone off that bad lately. The first two were a 12 penny nail, I don't know till I get home and fix this one what is in it.
Talk about bad luck.

Default Flat Tires

My guess is someone is angry with you...the chances of 3 flat tires in such a short period of time is slim...not eben on my thin high pressure bicycle does that happen and I ride the side of the highway where all the crud is found. FXDSE2

I'm thinking somebody is pissed at me. I am a manager in a manufacturing plant. Not always a real popular guy. I ride to work everyday I can.
I cannot believe that somebody could actually have the *****, but that is quite a coincidence. I park my bike right outside the shops shipping door, really visible if you even go near it. I do ride past a scrap yard on a dead end road into our plant, though I'm picking up nails, not scrap metal.
I have been really lucky it has not gone down at highway speeds, Really close the second time though. It has been the back tire all three times.
