Murphy's Law of Grocery Store Lines (a variation of law #6 - The Variation Law):

1. The line you are in is always the slowest.

2. Changing lines will cause the one you were in to speed up and the one you entered to slow down.

3. Changing back will cause both lines to stop and everyone to get mad at you.




Murphy's law of Design: The purpose of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the manufacturer and impossible for the assembler.

Murphy's law of Milk and Business Management: The cream rises to the top. Unfortunately so does the scum.

1. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong (of course everybody knows that one).

2. And at the worst possible time.

3. If something that could go wrong doesn't, it will ultimately turn out that it would have been better if it had gone wrong.

4. If something can't go wrong, it still will.

5. If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will. The best example of this is the Rain Law: Murphy's law says if you wash your car it will rain. Law #5 is based on the rule that if you wash your car to make it rain, it won't work.
