murphy's law

Commonly, a situation where, if anything can go wrong, it will, but I wanted to add my examples.

You always get your blackjack one or two hands after you lower your bet.

If you take the phone with you outside, say to garden, it will never ring, but if you leave it inside there will be several messages on your voicemail.

Murphy's Law of Speaking Up

"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.

murphy's law

More or less, if a cat always lands on its feet, and the bread always lands peanut butter side down, then if you strap a piece of bread to a cat and drop it, what happens? It implodes.

Murphy's Lingerie

When you wear a sexy thong/lacy bra/smart pair of boxers through the week in the hope of some action, but the day you finally give up on any semblance of a sex life and wear sensible underwear, some really hot dude/chick shows up at your place.

X: So, How was last night with that hot stranger?

Y: Rough start. I was wearing granny pannies.

X: Ouch. you got Murphy's Lingeried.
