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

The prettiest girl ever. She will rock your world and has the best humor. She can turn any circumstance into something hilarious, always knowing how to put a smile on your face. She’s always there for you no matter what and has such a big heart. She may be slightly self conscious but she doesn’t let that effect her vibes. She loves her friends and would do so much for them. She also knows how to be a badass and is hot asf.
Murphy is so pretty! I wish I could be like her.

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.
