に限って

N2Limitation

N2 · Limitation · noun + に限って

of all times; only when

noun + に限って

に限って means something unexpected happens precisely with a certain person or at a certain time.

It can also mark a limited scope.

急いでいる日に限って、電車が遅れる。

The train gets delayed precisely on days when I am in a hurry.

Do not use it like plain だけ; it often carries “of all times” emotion.

It happens exactly when you do not want it to.
