Murphy's Laws

• If anything can go wrong it will.
• Nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
• Everything takes longer than you expect.
• If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will do the most damage will go wrong first.
• Left to themselves, all things go from bad to worse.
• If you play with something long enough, you will surely break it.
• If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
• If you see that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
• Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
• It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.
• If a great deal of time has been expended seeking the answer to a problem with the only result being failure, the answer will be immediately obvious to the first unqualified person.
• If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
