The way things are IV
Months ago I posted ten corollaries to Murphy’s
Law. http://joeh-crankyoldman.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-way-things-are.html As I expected, many
of my readers had some suggestions that had not crossed my mind. I posted a second list http://joeh-crankyoldman.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-way-things-are-ii_14.html .
Then came TWTA III http://joeh-crankyoldman.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-way-things-are-iii.html
This is my fourth “The way things are”
post. That is why the IV. Several of these are suggestions from readers
following TWTA III.
Why is it that the passenger-side windshield wiper and
the passenger-side spray thingee for the windshield washer fluid
always perform superbly and without flaw; whereas the driver-side wiper always
leaves horrible streaks and the spray thingee always manages to be plugged with
a few minute ice crystals; even after the vehicle owner-operator has paid
particular attention to cleaning that little sum-bitch thoroughly? Old AF Sarge (Longest

It will not rain until you wash the car.

You never need a flashlight until the batteries are dead.
It only snows really hard when you need to go some place.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…unless it just fucks you up
really bad!
If you really have to be somewhere on time, and you are cutting it close,
you will catch every traffic light red.
That’s all I’ve
got for now…hey, it’s a post!
my husband has his version of that saying, too: whatever doesn't kill you just pisses you off! :)
ReplyDeletei enjoyed this post, cranky!
I can't even follow your comment!
ReplyDeleteI'm so confused!
ReplyDeleteHow about......the printer always runs out of ink in the middle of printing your tax documents. We've also had the electricity go out while doing taxes on the computer.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is spamming all over the place. All over the place. :(
ReplyDeleteMurphy's Law sucks. Big time. I love all these and have had most of them happen to me and some more than once.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Joe. ☺
This guy irritates me. He used to always invite me to follow his blog. I finally emailed him and told him to never visit my blog again and I had no interest in following his blog. You win converts not through his way of doing so.

That is so true about the shortest line in the grocery store and running late and catching every red light. I just kind of laugh about it now when both happen to me.

Mark it as spam and delete. Go to the spam folder in Posts>Comments>Spam, where you will find it. Delete it again. This notifies Google and hey, presto, the guy will be blocked from posting on your blog without your permission.
ReplyDeleteYup, at times I think the world is just one big conspiracy against me. ;)
ReplyDelete"All the important stuff (the air conditioning, car battery, refrigerator, toilet, etc) only breaks at 5 o'clock on a Friday afternoon."
Well he at least doesn't hate American woman. I got that HAW guy till I blocked him.
ReplyDeleteTo err is human, but to really foul things up requires technology.
ReplyDeleteLove Murphey's Laws and corollaries.
The day you have to go back to school and set up your summer-dismantled electronic devices, then do weekly grocery shopping, then take The Pony to an appointment, necessitating several trips in and out your gravel road...is the day the county road department will choose to install a 30-foot pipe where that gravel road meets the county road.
ReplyDeleteI like: A bird in the hand---is messy!
ReplyDeleteCranky, I enjoy these so much you really ought to make them a regular feature!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true about red lights. Same thing with flash lights. It is like some one is not on your side.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's me up there! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're waiting at a bus stop to go anywhere, the bus on the other side of the road, going in the opposite direction, ALWAYS arrives before the one you are waiting for.
When you are flying to Milwaukee, your baggage ends up in Muskegon.
ReplyDelete...or worse
Now ya went and did it. I missed the first three posts, so I had to go back and read them, too. (Good stuff!)
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, Murphy was an optimist.
I could add to these lists.
