This will be my first venture into a forum subject started soley by Moi.
You've heard of Murphy's Law haven't you? It states: "If anything can possibly go wrong, it probably will" Well, what unique variations on this principle can you share for all to benefit from, or maybe just say, "Hmmmm, I never thought of that." ? Here's one to start off with, probably well known, but it opens the forum.  The odds of the peanut buttered side of the bread falling face down to the carpet, is directly relative to the cost of the carpet. So share what you've experienced or borrowed, and enjoy!

HAHAH Today is murphys law for me!

You always find something in the last place you look.

whatever line or lane you're in is the slowest, until you switch to another

If you go to a convenient store and you are in a hurry, someone will be buying lottery tickets in front of you.

I had this happen to me before multiple times: Being sick during a holiday or my birthday. Whether a stomach bug in the family or strep throat with a 104F fever, past birthdays have been ruined.

If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.

If you unknowingly get an identical gift for someone; at the party, the person will open the one from the other person before yours. And it will get Oooohs & Aaaahhs from everyone. Then yours, "meh_"

For "stinkie" :
When you install an awesome dock at the lake and look forward to dipping for smelts in the spring; the lake will be drained for dam maintenance. |
