What are your experiences of Sod's law?

[Hepstall 10]

Sod's Law says that if you butter a number of slices of bread and throw them up in the air, they will land with the butter side down (especially if you have an expensive carpet!).

 

A team of scientists set out to test Sod's Law--they buttered hundreds of slices of bread and tossed them up. They all landed butter side up. That proved Sod's Law perfectly...

Excellent

Like when you go buy something and your looking on the shelf and the 1 thing you want they dont have it in stock NEVER

Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong it will go wrong.

 

Murphy's Second Law: Even if it can't go wrong, it will go wrong.

 

Murphy's Third Law: Even if nothing goes wrong, someone will mess it up and make it go wrong.

 

 

They're believed to date back to rocket-sled testing in the late '40s and early '50s, but nobody can prove their provenance.

I see Sod's law as something going wrong where the chances of it happening are extrememly slim yet it does anyway.

 

Things that occur regularly for me is when I try on a pair of jeans that I really like and they're either too big/small so I go to get a different size and they have every other size in stock apart from the size I want!

 

Or I think the worst thing I've done is laugh at my mate for putting his mobile phone in the washing machine and then a few hours later after searching for my phone for ages realise that I've done the same thing! I guess that could be perceived as karma though

*At work if I

1: Sit on the lav

2: make a drink

3: cook my dinner

 

Somebody comes in for something - usually trivial - but always outstays their welcome.

 

In order to get in they have to repeatedly ring the doorbell - why do they do this???

Especially annoying when the bomb bay doors are open

That's funny!

 

Now isn't there something about the toast/butter law and it all landing on the cat?

 

:

 

Perpetual motion machine - tie a slice of buttered toast to the back of a cat and push it off the table.

 

The cat/toast hybrid will spin permanently as the toast must land buttered side down, and the cat must land on its feet.
