My Additions to Murphy's Laws

Recently I was just having this discussion with my friends about Murphy's Laws when we realized there are so many such small incidents we often come across in our lives - which if taken from Murphy's point of view - would make life much more interesting :) So here goes my localized version of Murphy's Laws:

1. Law of Opportunity: Your boss will allot you maximum work on the day you plan to leave early

2. Law of Wrong Timing: No matter how hard you have worked the entire day, your boss will catch you only at the moment you decide to open Facebook

3. Law of Meetings: On the day you are happy your boss is going to be out all day for meeting - the meeting gets cancelled

4. Law of Bonus: The day you switch you job, your company starts giving out huge bonuses

5. Law of Workload: All work has to arrive simultaneously

6. Law of Gossip: All gossips travel faster than light (unless they are about yourself - in which case, refer Law of Gossip Illusion)

7. Law of Gossip Illusion: That there is no gossip making rounds about you is an illusion

8. Law of Breakage: Your shoe will break only after you have left the house

9. Law of Pass Expiry: You will realize your pass has expired only when you see a TC

10. Law of Time Pass: Just when you are free to have some fun, the entire world will turn extremely busy

11. Inverse Law of Time Pass: You seem to get most work just when the entire world is free for partying

12. Law of Silliness: You friends will laugh at the silliest of jokes except for your original ones

13. Law of Monsoon: It will definitely rain on the day you forget to carry your umbrella

14: Law of Bunking: If you are regular at attending college / office and decide to bunk one day, you are bound to be caught that day

15. Corollary to Law of Bunking: If you are regular at attending college / office and decide to bunk one day, some important call / meeting / assignment / test is bound to happen that day

16. Law of ATM: The ATM will never work when you need it most

17. Law of TV: While watching your favourite TV show, the telephone will ring at the time the most interesting revelation is about to be made

18. Law of Auto-save: Office will always crash when you haven't saved your work

19. Law of Photography: In every group picture, there is always at least one person with a weird pose or expression

20. Law of Cabs: You will never find one when you are in a hurry

21: Law of Traffic: You will find maximum traffic when you are running late

22. Law of Sale: When at a sale, you will never find the right size
