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"!

Murphy

Murphy is a fun loving friend. she is a jokester at times but is gery focused when she needs to be. She is very responsible and is very helping. She is smart, but doesnt think she is. She will make fun of you, but in the end its all a joks. She is always up with the latest trends. She always knows how to make someone feel better and get them to laugh. She can always hang out when you are free. Murphy is a great best friend.

Murphy

The plumpest, most lazy, and most wrinkly Bulldog. If he lays down, he's out like a light ZzZzZz. He has the loudest snore known to man and can cause a mini earthquake in your bedroom. Don't take Murphy to a cabin by a mountain cause his snoring will be sure to create a full on avalanche. After one drink of water be ready to put up the "wet floor sign" because where ever he goes after a sip of water will surly be soaked. Among Murphy's favorite things include: sleeping, eating, snorting, and drooling. Murphy is the poster child for Murphy's Law because when he's left alone something will go wrong.
Coworker: Wanna get something to eat after work?

Me: No, sorry I can't. Murphy has been alone for too long.

Coworker: What could possibly go wrong?

Me: Everything... You just jinxed it. I have to get home before I'm evicted for noise complaints.

Coworker: Oh shit sorry.. Noise complaints?

Me: Murph snores like a fucking Wooly Walrus Mammoth. I. HAVE. TO. GO.

Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly

"A device that you're repairing will operate **absolutely perfectly** while you have it taken apart to work on it, but then when you get it all put back together and have all the cabinet-screws re-inserted, THAT'S when the device will decide not to work again."
To lessen the chance of getting "bitten" by Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly, one should double-check everything on a refurbished device before putting it back together again.

Murphy's Law of Exceptions

"You can follow an 'unpopular' method or procedure 'till da cows come home' and nothing unusual will ever happen to 'justify' or 'vindicate' your unorthodox actions (and you'll likely get continually criticized by others for your chosen behavior), but then the ONE TIME when you eventually 'cave' and actually DO happen to follow the 'standard' or 'acceptable' protocol, THAT'S the solitary 'rogue occasion' when disaster will happen to strike --- something really bad will happen that would not have occurred if you had simply continued to follow your own 'pet' procedure that had seemed better/safer to begin with!"
My "super-long-term-driving-experienced" aunt had gotten fed up with my "back-seat driver" attempts to be helpful by telling her about vehicles that I'd see moving around fairly near our position when we'd be travelling someplace in her car, and so she had eventually asked me to just keep quiet and let here handle the driving herself. Well, of course, within a day or two, Murphy's Law of Exceptions decided to turn and bite me in da butt --- due to a view-obstructing sidewalk-mounted ad-sign, my aunt didn't notice an approaching car, but I did... naturally, that was the ONE TIME that I **didn't** tell her about it because she'd specifically asked me to keep my trap shut on instances like that, and so I'd ASSUMED (there's that word again!) that she'd observed the vehicle bearing down on the intersection. Well, as you might expect, we crashed, and there were multiple injuries in the other car! Can't win...!
