    but were formulated from close observation of daily life:

    • Lorenz's Law of Mechanical Repair
    Once your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.

    • Anthony's Law of the Workshop
    Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

    • Kovac's Conundrum
    When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone.

    • Cannon's Karmic Law
    If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tyre, the next morning you will have a flat tyre.

    • 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.

    • Bell's Theorem
    When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.

    • Ruby's Principle of Close Encounters
    The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

    • Willoughby's Law
    When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

    • Zadra's Law of Biomechanics
    The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

    • Breda's Rule
    At any event, the people whose seats are farthest from the aisle arrive last.

    • 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...

    And ofc, let's not forget the ubiquitous Murphy's Law. :blobpeek:

    I'm not sure of their validity, but, from my observations, they do appear to be true to some extent. Or maybe it's just me putting undue emphasis on isolated incidents and believing they apply every time, i.e., deluding myself into thinking they are true just because I want them to be true. ¯\_( ツ)_/¯

    In any case, they're funny. :blobrofl:

    When you finish your electronic project/experiment it will stop working when it is time for the professor to check.

    These laws are interesting but makes sense they weren't taught in school since eh they aren't really necessary to know and can't really be scientifically proven . <.< .

    They didn't teach us this in schools because they didn't want us to be overwhelmed with the realization that nothing's gonna go our way~ :blobcheeky:
