Murphy's Law of sitting down

"You can stand in line till da cows come home and da slow customer at da service-desk is still not gonna budge, but da moment you decide to plop down and comfortably settle yer tushie on da floor, DAT'S precisely when da line will start to move again, and then you'll hafta hastily "up, periscope!", putting even MORE strain on yer achy leg-muscles!

Carrying a skateboard to sit on can allow you to somewhat alleviate da "Murphy's Law of sitting down" debacle, since you can scooch yerslef forward more easily without actually having to groaningly stand up again, but unfortunately, many stores/offices take a dim view of bringing wheeled toys into their checkout-lanes or waiting-rooms! :P

Murphy's Traffic Law 

The simple fact of reality which states that whenever one is in a hurry, one or more of the following effects are experienced when driving a car:

-Chance of encountering consecutive red lights is increased.

-When in an intersection, chance of having a left turn larry in your line is increased.

-Chance of getting stuck behind an extremely conservative driver or a naturally slower vehicle is greatly increased.

Basically, the Murphy's Law of driving. If you need to get their fast, you're going to get their less quickly.

Boss - You're late.

Flunky - Sorry. 6 red lights in a row, got stuck behind an 18-wheeler, and it seemed like everyone just wanted to turn left today.

Crony - Murphy's Traffic Law. Respect.

murphy's camera law

Any situation where something INCREDIBLE happens. Eg: Fighter Jets flying in formation really fast.

And you scramble to take the picture with a camera.

But you don't get the photo in time. Or the photo is too blurry to use.

Also see Pics or it didn't happen

JOHN! Get the camera out there's a deer in our backyard!

*goes to get the camera in the house.*
JOHN! QUICK! THE DEER IS LEAVING!
*comes back out*
Too late. Murphy's camera law strikes again.

Murphy's Intersection Law 

When there's a four-way stop sign intersection a quarter mile ahead of you with no cars in it, that suddenly has cars converging from all sides at the same as you, making it impossible to discern who's supposed to go, and making a hazardous situation.

I had a bad case of Murphy's Intersection Law driving home. No one knew who was supposed to go, and we all crashed into each other.

Murphy's second law 

Anyone that can exist does exist, and they're probably on Twitter.

"What on earth do you mean they're calling themselves 'Sigma Males'?"

"Murphy's second law. They exist."

Murphy's Locker room Law 

When you select a locker in an empty locker room, the next person coming back to their locker will be right next to yours. If they happen to enter at the exact moment you're putting on your underwear, then their locker will be on the opposite side of you and they'll have to shuffle by uncomfortably close.

Me: (putting on underwear in the locker room)
Next guy: oh hi, I need to slip past you to get to my locker; hope you don't mind.
Me: No problem; it's Murphy's Locker room Law.
Next guy & Me: chuckle chuckle chuckle
