“Where were you? You took forever on that simple errand.”
“The technician completely disappeared and showed up three hours late.”

Khenchoso
A person who brings bad luck wherever they go, someone whose presence seems to jinx everything. From Quechua "q'encha" meaning bad omen, khenchoso is used in Bolivia with full seriousness when things keep going wrong and someone needs a metaphysical explanation.
