Proverb about how sometimes you get two of something you'd rather get one of, and sooner than later

I'm looking for a proverb to describe this situation:

You break up with a girl and months elapse without you dating anyone, not for lack of trying. Suddenly, you meet someone and hit it off. Shortly thereafter, you meet someone else and again find yourself on cloud 9.

Another example I can think of is this: You're waiting for the bus at the bus stop, and a long time goes by without any bus to speak of. Suddenly, two buses show up at the same time.

What's a proverb that would get the irony of such situations across? Initially, I was thinking of "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.", but the latter is not ironic and it is premised on the fact two birds is be better than one (all else being equal), whereas in the situations I described above, the second thing is pretty much redundant.

Let's hear it. Thanks in advance.


Solution 1:

"It's either feast or famine." Or perhaps - "Losing one glove is certainly painful, but nothing compared to the pain of losing one, throwing away the other and then finding the first one again." From "Grooks" by Piet Hein.

Solution 2:

There's that old proverb,

"it never rains, but it pours"

1.Unfortunate events occur in quantity. See wiktionary link

Solution 3:

You are perhaps talking about "too much of a good thing".

I often complete that with Mae West's , "... can be wonderful".
