the law in nature that makes the B's prone to seeing Ken everywhere we go. Ken is everywhere and we always run into him at horrible times. B usually runs away screaming "MURPHYS LAW!!"

murphys law has many variations, including, "the reason why a day goes bad: (insert original murphy's law here) and then you hit chem class with people that yell at you for helping because they dont understand other people asked that person for help, and then you leave the class and continue to encounter other ridiculous absurdities, similar to symetrically shaped objects, where one side is specifically labeled -this side up- because sillyness is at work in the word ridiculing all that is sane and good "
Mr.brian bills: chemistry student and day experiencer: who also gallantly feels the need to apologize when he has a bad day

Similar to Murphy's Law, but relating to cheques to wit:
Cheques being paid into your account (at least) twice as long to clear as cheques being drawn on your account.

"If you go ahead and say something, people will get mad and accuse you of being too bold/impudent/forward, expecting too much, or asking too many questions. But if you keep quiet, people will criticize you for being too wimpy to stand up for yourself."
As a child and teenager, people always griped at me for my speaking my mind, and so I finally got too timid to open my mouth. Nowadays, however, many folks --- including some of those very same criticizers from my youth --- tell me that I need to stick up for myself more and stop being such a wuss... can't win! Classic example of "Murphy's Law of Speaking Up", I guess.

"If you aren't in a hurry to leave the store, there will be little or no delay in getting a clerk to ring you up. But if you're pressed for time --- or even more so, if you're car-pooling with someone who is on a tight schedule --- THAT'S when there will be hold-ups galore... a long line in front of you, a customer with one or more heaped-full shopping-carts, one or more price-discrepancies that hafta be tediously resolved (i.e., the puzzled clerk is obliged to walk back with you to the shelf to look at the price-labels, a supervisor or the store-manager has to be called over), a balky card-scanner, etc."
Whenever someone who's giving me a ride is kind enough to let me stop at a store to grab a few items, I always try to make very sure that I have everything all "set and prepared" before I head to the register, so that I personally seldom create a problem (i.e., cause any delays myself with issues like not having the proper payment ready or being unsure of a price or quantity) with Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines. That way, even if my driver has to wait linger than expected for me to hastily scamper back outside with my loaded shopping-bags, he won't be able to direct his impatient frustration at me --- "Sorry for the delay; I did indeed get everything tossed in my cart very quickly, but there was a long line in front of me, and they were short-staffed today, so they only had once register open."
