Murphy's law

  1. Do you think it could be used to your advantage?

    Like when you're at the bus stop, light a fag and 10 seconds later the bus arrives, so you wasted a cig...now when I get tired of waiting for the bus, I light a fag to summon the bus :D
     
  2. wtf are talking about?
     
  3. lol. that is interesting.

    Some of those are very true, but i try not to live by them. I know of several examples like your bus situation that happen to me. I try to look at the positives, and when something like that happens i just try to laugh.

    11. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
    that is the best one.
     
  4. thats a weird way to look at it but what if u look at it like this u might of lost a sig but somethin better happen so it balances its self out so u really didn't loose sometihn u gained sometihn u were looken for more
     
  5. Well...you're right...it would kinda break rule #4: 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. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then...

    But could you look at it the Douglas Adams way: If you mentally assume wasting a cig would be worse than waiting for the bus for 10 more min...could you achieve something?
     
  6. My motto: shit happens. Especially when you park you car under a tree.
     

  7. lol.. give this guy the ten thousand dollars!
     
  8. I find that people that seem to experience 'murphy's law' alot tend to have a negative outlook on life in general and that is the reason they think anything that can go wrong will.
     
  9. Lmao...Murphy's Law has been invented with a great sense of humour (just read the Murphy's Laws of sex)...I think it's a funny way to see desasters and misfortunes

    "Yeah...shit happens...was Murphy's Law, so fuck it" is a good phrase when shit has happened
