Murphy's Laws

Murphy's Laws

How many are there out there"

I for one have always enjoyed the sardonic wisdom of Murphy's Laws. There appear to loads of them, corollaries and extensions too!

The rules? 1. No big 'G''ing answers, please.

               2. No "Overkill" just one or two per post...gotta leave some for others, right?

               3. Have fun!

To get it started: 1. Whatever can go wrong, will.

                         2.  What ever can go wrong will, at the most inopportune time and you will be blamed.

 

Let the games begin!

Truer words were never spoken. Hey I could put that one the redundancies thread.

 

 

OK here’s my next Murphy’s Law;

 

Eat right, exercise daily, die anyway.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

Nothing is so good that it won't get better and nothing is so bad that it can't get worse.

When looking for an item you have missplaced you will always find other items you have missplaced, but not the item you were looking for.

The shortest way from point A to B is by GPS

In mass communication, the important thing is not how things are but how they seem to be.

The probability of a hardware failure disappearing is inversely proportional to the distance between the computer and the customer engineer.

Any cool program always requires more memory than you have and when you finally buy enough memory, you will not have enough disk space.

Along that line.  You will always find what you are looking for in the last place you looked.

The best things in the world are free --- and worth every penny of it.

No matter how many times you've had it, if it's offered take it, because it'll never be quite the same again.

except if you drop something on it or drop it.

When working up high the tool you drop will always land to do the most damage to the tool and the object it hits.

Dropped wrenches always return to the center of the vehicle unless it's a motorcycle,then it lands on the other side.

When you see a dog turd on the pavement you sidestep to avoid treading in it, but you invariably end up stepping on it anyway... on the way back when you've forgotten all about it and have an armful of parcels.

Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

If someone giving you directions says at any time, "You can't miss it," be assured than you will. #:(

UPS delivers at 3 PM everyday.  Wife gets home from work at 6 PM every day.  Order a new piece of computer hardware without telling her and the day it comes she will get off early or stay home sick.
