Dutchman's Curse

The Dutchman's Curse is any sentence that starts with "It's just a matter of...", "It should be working...", or something similar, implying that it will take no time to complete at all, but in reality always turns into being a lot more work.

Supervisor - It's just a matter of copying that line of code into this file.

-- 5 hours later --
Employee - I'm still working on it since I had to rewrite the file to get that line of code to work. Stupid Dutchman's Curse.

Western Pennsylvania Curse

The unfortuante series of events when a really attractive girl is spending time with/ hooking up with a really unattractive guy. This situation is very easily seen in western pennsylvania, thus the name. Statisticians indicate that 64% of girls between the ages of 18-24 suffer from the curse. There is no known cause for the curse, only that doctors and psychologists point to major brain damage suffered at birth, probably caused by fetal alcohol syndrome.

I know man, its that western pennsylvania curse.
