    You know the idea:
    If you drop a slice of bread, why does it always land butter side down.
    Why does it always rain on your days off.
    Why does the phone ring the second you put your hands in the water.

    Anyone got any good Murphy's Laws?

    When I go with tools to tighten up a screw its always the wrong kind of screwdriver I have. Or the wrong rawlplugs for the screw. Or a rubber mallet is all I can find if a hammer is needed-just to taunt me.

    Why do weeds grow only when you're not looking?
    When you try and find what's wrong with your PC by looking at FAQ, why is it that your fault is never there?
    When I light a bonfire and stand upwind of it, how come as soon as the smoke gets up, the wind suddenly blows in MY DIRECTION?

    You boil the kettle, go to make a drink to find that someone else has already used the water!
