Theory of Offsetting Mistakes

This theory recognizes that humans are not perfect and that for every mistake in a model or schedule
there will be another "mistake" in somewhat equal scope to offset each other, hence rendering the model or budget still valid.
The idea behind is that things will anyway fall the way they fall and we cannot control for that.
The optimistic view is that this theory rejects Murphy's Law, the negligent take on it is the "Trust me, it will be OK" approach to life.
Decide where you want to be.

Accountant 1: oh, crap... we forgot to add $1 million in income from product X sales to the budget
Accountant 2: oh, fudge... product Y's revenue is inflated by $980K...oh wait... based on the Theory of Offsetting Mistakes all is well, the numbers we gave the CEO are still valid, yay.

Girl: oh, crap... your condom broke
Dude: oh, fudge... you miscounted your days, your period is due today at 8pm.... you are not pregnant, yay.

Cat Theory

The theory that women are like cats, in the way that when you go to pet a cat, it doesn't want anything to do with you, but when you give a cat no attention, it comes and cuddles with you. The same goes for a woman and the amount of attention you give them.

How did you bag Sara bro? She's a 10!

Cat Theory Bro. Ignored her for two weeks. Works every time.

Conspiracy Theory

What retards who are blind to reality call it when you point out something obvious.

Can you believe some people think that anti-Whites want to destroy the White race just because they LITERALLY FUCKING SAY that they want to create a world where everyone (in the White countries) is mixed and there are no more White people, what a conspiracy theory!

The $15 Theory

The theory that charging your friends $15 to hangout with you is moral and socially acceptable.

Often the theory is used when you irresponsibly buy something unreasonably expensive, then find an excuse to make your friends pay for it through indirectly using it.

"Hey guys, I bought this new console, so every time you guys come hangout and use it, I'll need you to pay $15. It's only fair!"
"I know you're spending the night, so have you ever heard of the $15 theory? Yeah, I'll need you to pay me $15 to sleep on my new couch."
