    Is there a Czech equivalent to "When it rains, it pours"?

    Gessing from the example its something like "Neštěstí nikdy nechodí samo"
    "Badluck never comes alone"..

    don't people say "Když se nedaří, tak se nedaří." ??

    my mother used to say "když se sype, tak se sype" - or when it pours it really pours

    "Když se nedaří, tak se nedaří." you are right Meluzina
    usualy its "Když se daří, tak se daří." ironical in bad times..

    "Když se nedaří, tak se nedaří."

    another similar one:

    "Když je pech, tak je pech".
