Bartels’ Law

The shorter the lawyer, the more likely an ad hominem attack.
That little guy was backed into a rhetorical corner, so he lashed out at the guy who led him there: classic Bartels’ Law.

The Tamr Law

The thesis stating that one obvious and preventable death is fated to happen before any obvious solutions, changes or reforms are enacted, ie. decapitation by ice skates when playing hockey and the introduction of neck guards to the sport.
Person 1: "Hey, do you remember that shaky pipe at the bottom of the apartment building that the landlord never fixed?"

Person 2: "Yeah! What about it?

Person 1: "Well, it finally busted and the valve domed someone on the head and killed him! And after that, of course NOW the landlord decides to fix it!"

Person 2: "How preventable. The Tamr Law takes another..."

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.
