Murphy's Law of "Junk"

"You can hold onto something for decades, and neither you nor anyone else will ever have a use for it, but then just as soon as you throw it out, either you will suddenly need it for something, or --- even more 'painful' --- **someone else** will come to you and humbly ask, 'Do you happen to have an extra ___?'" Rrrrrggggghhhhh----!!!
I'd had a couple of old 55-gallon oil-drums stashed in da garage for da past thirty years --- my grampa had given 'em to me when he and Gram were downsizing to move into an assisted-living apartment --- and they'd just sat there and gathered dust in da corner all that time. But then just two days --- TWO STINKIN' DAYS!! --- after I'd sent 'em to da crusher for recycling, a low-income neighbor dropped by and asked me if he could have them to use as burn-barrels --- guess dat was a classic case of Murphy's Law of "Junk" at work!!

Log Laws

The log laws were a series of regulations passed by the British Parliament during the 1900s to restrict population growth and prevent famine. The log laws stated that under any circumstances, no man residing within the British Empire should impregnate a woman with said man's "log" more than once within the span of 57 fortnights, or 798 days. The log laws also stated that any man who violated these laws would be punished, and his punishment would be up to the discretion of his governor.
The governor has requested that any man found violating the log laws be beheaded in the town square.

Walding's Law

Walding's Law is an adage that is best described as:
Paranoia in the development stage of any serious relationship that anything could cause an end to said relationship.
This is typically more frequent in youthful relationships where relationships tend not to last as long as more mature relationships. This being said does not exclude it from happening to mature and professional relationships.
This phenomenon is common within romantic relationships however it may occur outside one, such as in a new social or professional position.
Some examples of Walding's Law may include being worrying that:
1. Anything you do could cause your new romantic relationship to end.
2. Your new partner talking to someone else leading you to believe that they are interested in them.
3. Doing a task incorrectly could cause you to lose your new job.
4. Acting too much like yourself could make a newfound friend to lose interest in your friendship.

etc.
