Have you ever wondered why is it that the bus you are always waiting for will always come last? Or when you have a 50% chance of choosing something positive, you will always end up choosing the other 50% instead? Or when you are planning to catch a cab when you are running late, no cabs will be in sight?

It seems that when you are really sway, what will go wrong usually will.

A bunch of other people seems to have similiar experiences and they decided to make law/ rule/ theory out of it and name it after themselves:

1) Lorenz's Law of Mechanical Repair:
After your hands got coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch
(Not really itch but I'll have the sudden urge to rub my nose)

2) Anthony's Law of the Workshop:
Any tool, when dropped, tends to roll to the least accessible corner
(Well, its so true for coins ... )

3) Kovac's Conundrum:
When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone
(Erm, well there's call waiting/ double lines nowadays mah)

4) O'brien's Variation Law:
If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now (I like this one, it's always the case for me... tamade...)

5) Bell's Theorem:
As soon as the body is immersed fully in the bathtub, the telephone will ring.
(Eh, I not so sway yet)

6) Ruby's Principle of Close Encounters:
The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are in a situation where you do not want to be seen by anybody.
(Hmm... I do not want to meet that chio bu at the bus stop tmr...)

7) Willoughby's Law:
When you try to prove to the repairman that a machine doesn't work, it will
(Ya, that happens sometimes...)

8) Owen's Law:
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold
(I dun let anything comes between me and my coffee... grrr...)

9) Wooly's Law:
When you are working late, the boss will never be around. When you are surfing the net, the boss will always drop by
(Damn Wooly and his law)
