The way things are IV


The way things are IV

Murphy's Law "If something can go wrong, it will"

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 sentence ever Sarge) http://oldafsarge.blogspot.com/

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!

  3. How 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.

  5. Murphy's Law sucks. Big time. I love all these and have had most of them happen to me and some more than once.

    Have a fabulous day Joe. ☺

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Yup, at times I think the world is just one big conspiracy against me. ;)

  11. To err is human, but to really foul things up requires technology.

    Love Murphey's Laws and corollaries.

  12. 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.

  15. It is so true about red lights. Same thing with flash lights. It is like some one is not on your side.

  16. Hey, that's me up there! Thank you.

    When 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.

  17. When you are flying to Milwaukee, your baggage ends up in Muskegon.

  18. Now ya went and did it. I missed the first three posts, so I had to go back and read them, too. (Good stuff!)

    Oh, and by the way, Murphy was an optimist.
