Murphy’s Monday

A term taken from Murphy’s Law, A Murphy’s Monday is a Monday that is so incredibly annoying that it feels like everything that can go wrong IS going wrong. It is a day filled with minor inconveniences that make your day harder, but not hard enough to be impossible.

A Murphy’s Monday is not usually the worst day of your life, but certainly the most inconvenient.

Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear

"If you 'prepare for the worst' by bringing along extra jackets/gloves, an umbrella, etc., then the skies will be sunny and mild all the time you're 'out 'n' about'. But if you decide to leave all that stuff behind at home and set out on your trip in just your ordinary street-clothes, there'll be a bleepin' MONSOON or HURRICANE!
The morning started out kinda overcast and nippy, so I brought an umbrella, thick hoodie-jacket, and gloves with me when I set out to run some errands around town. Well, naturally, once I got a fair distance from home and thus I didn't wanna traipse all the way back to put everything away again, the sun came out and the day got really warm, and so I was just feverishly lugging all that extra stuff around with me for nothing... classic case of "Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear", I guess.

Ciaran Murphy

One who is best described as "me." That is correct; I am Ciaran. Congratulations if anyone in my immediate circle finds this, you think about me too much. Worry not, onlookers, I doubt anyone I know will actually see this. I merely wanted to say that in the off chance it actually happens. If you are currently reading this and know me, let me know, if you dare.
I refuse to give an example, I won't bend to your will, Urban Dictionary.

For reasons that I cannot control, I must include the word that I am "defining." So... Ciaran Murphy.

Murphy's Law of shaving

You can wait 'n' wait till clear into mid-May to trim off your itchy bushy Santa-Claus winter beard and you'll have nuthin' but sweltering-skinned moderate-temperature days all along, but if you "break out da Norelco" at any point during dat period, da weather will immediately turn frigid and blustery again, and then you'll have chilly-cheeks syndrome for an entire month!
One good way to minimize da "Murphy's Law of shaving" debacle is to simply wait till da end of March to "mow da lawn" --- dat way, you'll not be so likely to needlessly suffer from extra-warm weather-temps' making your chin and jowls feel like they're inside a blast-furnace, but on da other hand, it will minimize da chances of "freezin' yer face off", too, since there are seldom any significant cold snaps later than three months into da new year.
