A Murphy

Noun. When a man is set up to be robbed, the victim thinks he is going to meet a woman. Typically done when a woman sets up a man, asking him to come over, but another man or group shows up to rob him. More rarely, a man will catfish another man by pretending to be an attractive or easy woman to get a man's address or get that man to come to a sketchy location. Not a scam, this is always done in person.

Murphy

A murphy is typically an older middle-aged man, not always a father, who is stout in build and frequents the golf course. A murphy also tends to be of Irish descent and is more often than not seen sporting a hoodless wind jacket.
This group of murphy’s need to let us play through.

Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."
I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.
