A sandwich always falls butter side down, and the adjacent queue, unfortunately, moves faster – does it sound familiar to you? This is Murphy’s Law, when our desires collide with unfortunate circumstances. We have compiled a list of Murphy’s Law situations, which each one of us has faced at least once.
- The thing that you are looking for has been lying in plain view for hours.
- Any job is easy, when you do not need to perform it.
- The most interesting exhibits in the museum never have a letter plate.
- You can store all kinds of lumber for years, but as soon as you get rid of it, you immediately need something thrown out.
- The lost keys are always found in the last of the pockets checked.
- An umbrella may lie in your bag for a week, and you will not need it during this time, but as soon as you leave it at home, you will get soaked in a terrible shower.
- We always lack time to do the job properly, but we suddenly find it when we need to re-do something.
- You do not always have either enough time or money.

- When you finally discard doubt and take up some work, you find out that there is no more need for it and you’ve missed the chance.
- The easiest work takes 90% of the time, and the most difficult requires only those 10%, but for some reason, you manage to do it.
- When you are in a hurry, you will surely find yourself stuck in a traffic jam or forget something very important at home, which will make you come back.
- When you need to knock on the wood, all of the items available at the moment turn out metal or plastic.
