Murphy's Laws III

  1. You will always find something in the last place you look.
  2. A falling object will always land where it can do the most damage.
  3. A valuable dropped item will always fall into an inaccessible place.
  4. You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the bread to butter.
  5. If you are looking for more than one thing, you'll find the most important one last.
  6. A shatterproof object will always fall on the only surface hard enough to crack or break it.
  7. A paint drip will always find the hole in the newspaper and land on the carpet underneath.
  8. It is never in the last place you look. It is in the first place you look, but never discovered on the first attempt.
  9. After you bought a replacement for something you've lost and searched for everywhere, you'll find the original.
  10. No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.

Murphy's Laws


  1. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
  2. Every solution breeds new problems.
  3. Everything takes longer than you think.
  4. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
  5. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
  6. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
  7. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
  8. When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps if you know the answer.
  9. No matter how perfect things are made to appear, Murphy's law will take effect and screw it up.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
