Murphy's Law

If something can go wrong, it will do so.

If a device stops working, it will do so at the most inconvenient moment.

If you mess around with a thing for too long, it will break.

You never have time to do something properly, but always enough time to do it again.

Who smiles when something goes wrong is thinking of someone he can blame.

Who screams the loudest is right.

The solution of a problem is to find someone to solve the problem.

Everyone has a system that doesn't work.

Devices that failed will work fine when the customer service is there.

If you located the broken part, you're lacking the tool to extract it.

Everything goes wrong at the same time.

All plane, horizontal areas will be covered with rubbish after a short time.

The most interesting results cannot be reproduced.

Every finished, running program is outdated.

Technology is ruled by two kinds of people: Those who understand what they don't manage and those who manage what they don't understand.

Nothing is that easy that it couldn't be done wrong.

No matter what happens, always pretend it's intentional

You'll always be able to find what you're not looking for.

It's always easier to disassemble than to assemble.

A thing will always fall down in the way that causes the maximum damage.

If you cannot convince, confuse.

If you do someone a favour, it will be part of your job from then on.

No matter what goes wrong, there's always someone who knew it already before.

For most works three hands are necessary.

All probabilities are 50%. It either happens or it doesn't.

If you understand something, it's outdated.

In an organization, there is always one person who knows what's going on. That person has to be fired.
