Murphy's law is a plainly stated law about the way things work in the world. Simple, concise, universally acceptable and has yet to be proven wrong. You may have heard it before:

What can go wrong, will go wrong.

Through my observations of natures tendencies I have decided to expand on this statement with a few laws of my own.

Expanding on Murphy's Law

  • What can go wrong, will go wrong, and on most frequent occasions all at once.
  • If something cannot possibly go wrong, then it cannot possibly not go wrong.
  • If you are planning on something going wrong, and therefore prepare for it, it will go wrong at an unexpected time in a completely unexpected way that you did not prepare for.
  • Murphy's law cannot be used to reverse itself by doing something wrong on purpose.
  • If something goes right, then you have merely not found out about everything that went wrong.
  • If you don't think something will go wrong, it will most definitely go wrong.
  • There is no such thing as a "win - win" situation. One of the possible outcomes will fail to be satisfactory and most definetly go wrong.
  • If it is impossible that either of the outcomes in a "win - win" situation can go wrong, another outcome will arise that will be worse than imaginable.
  • If something goes wrong, it will go wrong in a worse way than could be expected.
  • If you ignore something and hope it doesn't go wrong, it will.
  • If you think it doesn't matter, when it goes wrong it will.
  • Just when you think that everything that can possibly go wrong has gone wrong, everything you haven't thought of will also go wrong.
  • If you are continuously searching for something that is wrong so that it can be corrected, it will be pointed out by someone that finds it completely obvious.
  • Things will get worse before they get better, assuming that they ever plan on getting better.
  • At any given moment in time, something is most definitely going wrong.
  • If something goes right, slap yourself. You are hallucinating.
