Similar to Murphy's Law, but relating to cheques to wit:
Cheques being paid into your account (at least) twice as long to clear as cheques being drawn on your account.

Similar to the old "wax your car if you want it to rain" joke, this saying reads: "It can be mild and sunny for days on end, but then just as soon as you hang out a whole bunch o' laundry to dry, THAT'S when da sun will abruptly disappear behind huge dark clouds and you'll have a bleepin' MONSOON FOR A WEEK!"
The weather had been totally "bright 'n' balmy" for a good while, and so one afternoon last week I tried to save money and electricity by using my clothesline instead of the watts-sucking dryer, but then it rained heavily during the night, and it's been foggy and drizzly ever since! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Clothes-drying" to me.

The simple fact of reality which states that whenever one is in a hurry, one or more of the following effects are experienced when driving a car:
-Chance of encountering consecutive red lights is increased.
-When in an intersection, chance of having a left turn larry in your line is increased.
-Chance of getting stuck behind an extremely conservative driver or a naturally slower vehicle is greatly increased.
Basically, the Murphy's Law of driving. If you need to get their fast, you're going to get their less quickly.

Boss - You're late.
Flunky - Sorry. 6 red lights in a row, got stuck behind an 18-wheeler, and it seemed like everyone just wanted to turn left today.
Crony - Murphy's Traffic Law. Respect.

Any situation where something INCREDIBLE happens. Eg: Fighter Jets flying in formation really fast.
And you scramble to take the picture with a camera.
But you don't get the photo in time. Or the photo is too blurry to use.
Also see Pics or it didn't happen

JOHN! Get the camera out there's a deer in our backyard!
*goes to get the camera in the house.*
JOHN! QUICK! THE DEER IS LEAVING!
*comes back out*
Too late. Murphy's camera law strikes again.

When there's a four-way stop sign intersection a quarter mile ahead of you with no cars in it, that suddenly has cars converging from all sides at the same as you, making it impossible to discern who's supposed to go, and making a hazardous situation.
I had a bad case of Murphy's Intersection Law driving home. No one knew who was supposed to go, and we all crashed into each other.
