Murphy's Logic

Any line of reasoning that assumes Murphy's Law is true.

Murphy’s year

In reference to 2020 is so messed up it should be defined as Murphy’s law but so overachieving in disastrous used as Murphy’s year

Murphy's Law of Driving

-Your driving skill is inversely proportional to how attractive your passenger is.-

John: "I've drifted that corner a hundred times with no problem, but as soon as Jane was in the car, it all went to hell and now she's left me and my car is totalled...."

Fred: "Murphy's Law of Driving dude...I told you not to try that with her in the car"

Mrs Murphy's law

Murphy's law with a twist.

Anything that can go wrong, will; at the worst possible moment.
An example of Mrs Murphy's law:
Your driving to work and your running late.
Not only do your brakes fail, but you have just made it over a hill, and it's a long way down.

Your design project that counts for a third of your year 12 subject score is almost finished after 13 weeks.
Not only has your computer died and refuses to start again (even in safe mode!) you where only 5 mins off printing it out and handing it in later that day. There are no extensions!
