Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong - Murphy
A more detailed version of the saying phrase goes: “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way”. Murphy’s law is also referred to as ‘Sod’s Law’. A few more laws of Murphy are:
Things get worse under pressure.
The chance of the buttered side of the bread falling face down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
A falling object will always land where it can do the most damage.
The greater the value of the floor, the greater the probability that the cat will throw up on it.
Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out.
The other line always moves faster.
Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Anything dropped in the bathroom will fall in the toilet.
If you apply Murphy’s Law, it will no longer be applicable.
You will never find any more loose change than you have already lost.
