Murphy’s Law (US) / Sod’s Law (UK) – An example
Leaving the office today, I got into an empty elevator that reeked of B.O. My thoughts, in quick succession, were:
What a stink?
How badly must the person who left this here have stunk?
Good thing for me he wasn’t in here at the same time as me if this how bad his legacy smells!
What if someone gets in the elevator now? They’ll automatically presume it’s me that smells!
If someone does, should I tell them it wasn’t me?
No. They probably would think I’m merely embarrassed and also a complete loser.
Then that old sod Murphy had his inevitable say. One floor down, on the 20th, someone got in. He had iPod earbuds in and did a good impersonation of some who hadn’t noticed me. I kept quiet.
