Default happen
Dear teachers.

Is there a little difference between (1) and (2)?

1, I have had this happen once.
2, This has happened to me once.

Have a nice day!

The first sentence doesn't make any sense.
The second one is not incorrect, but I would say "It has happened to me once".

Kind regards,
Dany
