They established early in the show that ordinary bad stuff did happen sometimes. You can choose to believe that such things continued to happen occasionally when we weren't watching them, or you can choose to think that it stopped happening at some point, perhaps after John made the deal to save Dean, and the brothers at some point became Supernatural in luck thanks to Chuck. Just was pointing out, when people said certain things "never happened" to them, in fact it had, even if it had been seldom and a long time ago. Dean has also been sick too, because he described the soup his mom made for him when he was. One of the things I enjoyed during those more than 300 episodes are those touches of normal they threw in, unlike so many regular hero shows, like how excited Dean was when he finally had a kitchen and showed he could make a nice burger himself. And then they had to leave.
