schlimazel

Someone who doesn’t have good luck, but causes everyone around him to have bad luck.

That person who never does anything cool, and doesn’t even seem particularly good at anything, but is popular and has all the luck.

If you tried to describe them to people they are usually overly confident and a little annoying. Maybe has a nice hair cut or is considered classically handsome, but not truly beautiful or very handsome .

You feel cheated out if a promotion by a loser? You’ve met a schlimzal.

“What a schlimazel! He would have never gotten that promotion if everyone else hadn’t been fired!”
