We all know the one about the dropped bread landing buttered side down,and the fact that the phone always rings when you are in the bathroom.

And the earlier thread about putting three pairs of socks in the washing machine, and five odd socks coming out was kind of a Law of Sod thing.

I thought that for my first ever thread here, it might be interesting to find out other NSers experiences of Murphy's Law.

You are infinitely more likely to get struck in the groin on the day you forget to wear your protective cup. *nod* Martial Arts class taught me that.

The bigger the box, and the farther you have to carry it, the more your nose itches.

Murphy's golden law: Those with the gold make the law

*Wince*
Sounds like a painful lesson.
:eek:

Ha. I saw a guy in a cricket match get hit by a fast bowler right in the meat and two veg. He hadn't bothered with a box.

Now THATs pain.

Sheesh....

Just the thought makes the eyes water!

Agreed. That or a round kick to the intercostal space between your ribs, man does that ever hurt.

This (http://media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=rollernutcrush.wmv) is pain!

Objects you never need will constantly get in your way. The second you need them, they lay lower than Elvis and Tupac.

This is truth. I speak from personal experience. That has to be the fastest I've ever been knocked down...

I bet you've never gone near a wicket without a box since, right?

I played purely amateurishly... not as part of a team. But the ball was real. And the speed was real. But the back garden never had the same perspective to it after that. Even worse was that it was less of an accidental collision and more of a smart-weapon. And the small distance of the back garden didn't give it any time for the momentum to be killed, or even reduced.

My little brother probably broke something laughing. That hurt more because I couldn't stand up and exact revenge for him doing what I'd have done were the positions reversed.

While driving up to the intersection, it will be clear and empty... the moment you get to that intersection, it becomes a traffic jam.

The moment I spend money to indulge myself, is a signal for impending financial change that would require the money I just spent.

I've been hit in the nuts with a cricket ball a few times, the most recent I was wearing a box but it still hurt like hell. Somehow I managed to take a single before collapsing at the other end.

my box was warped out of shape too

The bus that is early will be the one you arrived at the correct time for. The bus that is late will be the one you arrived ten minutes earlier for.

No matter what time of day you watch a match, something will always happen to distract you from the crucial goals. Usually, in my case, the phone rings, there is a power cut, or the fire alarm goes off. Almost without fail.

When in a noisy room, all noise will cease the second you raise your voice to disclose some personal piece of information to a friend or partner.

there are many of these but...one is "no books are lost by loaning except those you particularily wanted to keep", another one is "if you want the bus to arrive, light a cigarette". :headbang:

when you're supposed to be at class, people will wait 20 minutes before hanging up the phone. when you're not, not only do they call you when you're in the bathroom, but they'll also hang up just as you're done and walking towards the phone

Droughts can be relieved by washing your car on a bright sunny day.

All your friends know all your other friends. It's quite scary when you find out that two completely different groups of people hang out with each other when your back is turned.

I congratulate you on your first thread being about signs.

Booya!

Cats always land on their feet.

So, strap a piece of buttered bread to the back of a cat with the butter side up.

Then drop the cat out a window.

It will fall to approximately a foot above the street, and hover there, spinning.


*Note: no cats or pieces of buttered bread were injured in this experiment.*

*Note2: the cats do get rather pissy, however.*
