Some call it “Murphy’s Law,” the idea that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Others simply refer to it as “their luck”. However you look at it, everyone has those “bad luck” days where nothing seems to go the way you planned. Here are just a few instances of anything that can go wrong, actually going wrong.
1. Waking up 30 minutes before your alarm is set to go off. Is it really worth it to fall back asleep at that point?
2. When you plug your phone in to charge overnight and the plug falls out of the wall in your sleep, causing you to wake up to the “20% Battery” warning. Now you have to readjust your schedule for the day to include accessible outlets.
3. This one is mostly for summer. The weather forecast for your first day of vacation is 100% chance of thunderstorms all day long. Its okay, you didn’t want a tan anyway, right?
4. This one is mostly for winter. The weather forecast for Friday–Sunday is a record-breaking nor’easter. The Governor declares a state of emergency, roads close and businesses shut down, and for what? To ruin your weekend and any plans you had. Snow was only awesome when you were five, now its only awesome when it cancels your classes.5. Saving half your meal at a restaurant for later but forgetting the to-go box.
6. When you decide to get up early and have a productive day, but you set your alarm for P.M. instead of A.M. The odds are already against you and you haven’t even left your bed yet so might as well watch Netflix. Finishing a series in an afternoon is productive, right?
7. Packing the car for a trip and locking your keys and cellphone in the trunk.
8. You get your first flat tire, in the middle of the highway, on the way to your first big girl/guy interview. As an adult, the “flat tire” excuse is about as believable as “the dog ate my homework” one was in the elementary school.
9. After you stayed up half the night studying for a test/quiz, you get to class to find out the test is postponed. If looks could kill, the slackers in the back who high five because they didn’t study at all would be six feet under.
10. Running to the computer lab to print something before class, only to realize you waited 12 unbearable minutes for the slowest desktop ever to log you on to a computer that doesn’t print.
11. Going out to eat with a group and your order is delayed and comes out last. (All the “How I Met Your Mother” fans out there know what I’m talking about)
12. Arriving at a party or another social gathering late and falling or tripping up or down the stairs. (If only we could all look as graceful as JLaw)
13. Finding a shirt you actually like but they only have smalls and you are a medium (this goes for all articles of clothing and all sizes).
