Murphy's Law of Spares

"If you buy just one of something, you will surely break it almost immediately, but if you buy one or more "spare" items to have "just in case", your "initial" item will miraculously escape damage no matter how many mishaps you endure, and thus those duplicate items will merely gather dust in the garage or at the back of your desk-drawer."
I have always tried to handle objects gently and carefully, but due to extreme forgetfulness and physical/mental/emotional infirmities, I tend to "be rough on my stuff" --- sitting/stepping on unobserved items, blundering into objects as I'm groggily stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night, soiling items or spilling/dropping stuff, etc., and so I occasionally attempt to "prepare for the future" by acquiring spares of the types of items which I typically seem to damage or break; only prob is that just as soon as I do "lay in for a rainy day" like that, the "currently-being-used" object that I had been procuring said spares for NEVER SEEMS TO ACTUALLY SUSTAIN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, and so all of those extras that I'd carefully tucked away just "sit there for decades"... talk about a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Spares"!

Having a Ph.D. in Biology might qualify you for a debate on Evolution, but you fail if you try to use it to show how much you know about Crossdressing.

Hoppe’s Law

For example: if there was a guy who was a 6 but he had the confidence of an 8, he would most likely obtain a 7

Lenz's law

When you are attached to a person in a way that when you try to meet them your body gives you bad signs as in bad butterflies and then when you decide to stay away and cut all the connections your heart longs for them and desires for them to be around cuddling with you and then you try pull them close again. You also want them away from you but also close that you can't breathe(I mean while kissing).

Conclusion: But when you pull them closer, your body reacts as if it's sick (in a bad way)
If you push them away you want their cologne all over your body
This never happened with me but with this one guy my body keeps applying lenz's law.
