Murphy’s law

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong – Murphy

A more detailed version of the saying phrase goes: “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way”. Murphy’s law is also referred to as ‘Sod’s Law’. A few more laws of Murphy are:

  • Things get worse under pressure.
  • The chance of the buttered side of the bread falling face down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
  • A falling object will always land where it can do the most damage.
  • The greater the value of the floor, the greater the probability that the cat will throw up on it.
  • Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out.
  • The other line always moves faster.
  • Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.
  • No good deed goes unpunished.
  • Anything dropped in the bathroom will fall in the toilet.
  • If you apply Murphy’s Law, it will no longer be applicable.
  • You will never find any more loose change than you have already lost.
