"You can apathetically sit around the house for hours, and the weather will be sunny and mild. But then just as soon as you actually manage to groggily struggle up off'n yer but and head for the door to be productive with outdoor activities, it will either start raining, the temps will soar/plummet, or the breeze will die down and allow black flies and mosquitoes to swarm you."
I am a long-term vicitim of Murphy's Law of Weather vs. Gumption, so I employ the unconventional strategy of working naked outdoors (long live tall dense shrubbery along the road out front!) so that I can feel cooler and move about more easily than I could with restrictive clothing, and thus I am able to strugglingly get work done during more-favorable weather, even when I strongly don't feel like it.

Get the Murphy's Law of Weather vs. Gumption mug."If you aren't in a hurry to leave the store, there will be little or no delay in getting a clerk to ring you up. But if you're pressed for time --- or even more so, if you're car-pooling with someone who is on a tight schedule --- THAT'S when there will be hold-ups galore... a long line in front of you, a customer with one or more heaped-full shopping-carts, one or more price-discrepancies that hafta be tediously resolved (i.e., the puzzled clerk is obliged to walk back with you to the shelf to look at the price-labels, a supervisor or the store-manager has to be called over), a balky card-scanner, etc."
Whenever someone who's giving me a ride is kind enough to let me stop at a store to grab a few items, I always try to make very sure that I have everything all "set and prepared" before I head to the register, so that I personally seldom create a problem (i.e., cause any delays myself with issues like not having the proper payment ready or being unsure of a price or quantity) with Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines. That way, even if my driver has to wait linger than expected for me to hastily scamper back outside with my loaded shopping-bags, he won't be able to direct his impatient frustration at me --- "Sorry for the delay; I did indeed get everything tossed in my cart very quickly, but there was a long line in front of me, and they were short-staffed today, so they only had once register open."
