    Default Sod's Law in action.

    a.k.a. Murphy's Law. If it can go wrong it will go wrong.

    I'm bringing this up for discussion because I recently lost my scientific calculator, which was an absolute bloody disaster since I need it for most of my lessons. A few days ago I gave myself blisters on a shopping trip getting hold of a replacement (and lost some of my shopping in the process). Then today I found my own calculator (with
    part of the cover missing) in the Physics lab. So now I pissed off that I've wasted so much money.

    So has anyone else had experiences like this recently?

    Yeah this normally happens on a daily basis with me. The other day I was inspired to draw something but my stylus went missing and I couldn't find it till two days ago and by that time I just didn't want to draw anything.

    I was an undercover Irish policeman once, and in every single bit of my operations something went wrong. Luckily, due to my expertise, I managed to find a way to combat the badness. Yey. And then my mum went mental and we had to put her in a home.

    Gosh Quinn, THAT is more than Murph's law, that is pure bad luck!

    My life has been usually pretty lucky but Murph's law does tend to show itself. God has a twisted sense of humor

    BTW, has anyone heard of Smerek's law ?

    Smerek's Law is an adage in the spirit of Murphy's law. It states, "Describing a video game to non-players makes you sound like an idiot"
    We use it a lot at Wikipedia

    Quinn is a noob. I AM THE ALMIGHTY QUIN. And I'm pure. Ish.

    I was actually describing the TV program ""Murphy's Law" in a failed attempt at humour.

    I understood it, dear Quin. Come on, let's have a hug.

    Tomorrow, I get my gradecard back and I find out how I did on my exams. I'm horrible in math and science, specifically this quarter, and if I have lower than a C, I'm off the computer for 9 weeks. So yeah, it's in effect for me if I didn't do so hot on my math 'n science exams >.>

    If my life was like Murphy's in Murphy's Law, I'd be in Heaven. And I don't mean because I'm dead either.

    I've tried studying, it only makes my grades worse. I get everything confused.
