For whatever reason, reading these laws makes me feel better.

Murphy’s Law

1. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
2. Everything takes longer than you think. 
3. If anything can go wrong, it will. (Except when you want to prove this)
4. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop. 
5. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. 
6. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. 
7. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw. 
8. Mother nature is a bitch
9. You will always find something in the last place you look
10. The other line always moves faster
11. When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly
12. In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there
13. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong
Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then
14. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
15. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first
16. Every solution breeds new problems.
