I've gotten two false positives from rapid tests. Anybody else?

I've been sent in for a rapid test twice and both times my results have come back as positive. Immediately afterwards I went to the hospital for the more accurate PCR test and both times they were negative. The first time I thought it was just bad luck. Twice in a row is making me wonder if there are people that rapid tests don't work on for some reason. Has this happened to anyone else?

    It's still better to take the old fashion test that takes about 3 days
