Fix it with a Laugh

Life is full of unexpected twists, ironic timing and little annoyances that seem almost too perfectly timed to be accidental. But it’s often our ability to find humor in these everyday mishaps that helps us keep going. A well-timed laugh can turn frustration into amusement and prevent a bad situation from feeling worse. 

Over the years, people have captured these moments of life’s irony in the form of funny “laws” or witty observations that reflect how things tend to go hilariously wrong just when you least want them to. These humorous laws remind us that when you are in a fix, the best thing to do is laugh. Here are the funny laws that life teaches us through experience.

  1.  Bell’s Theorem: Just when you begin your bath, the telephone rings.
     My version: The phone rings just when your hands are covered with flour for mixing the dough.
     
  2.  Antony’s Law of the Workshop: Any tool when dropped rolls into the most inaccessible corner of the room.
    My version: It rains soon after you have washed the car.

  3. Cannon’s Karmic Law: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tyre, next morning you will have a flat tyre.
    My version: I call it the Law of Self Prophecy.
     
  4. Oberon’s Variation Law: If you change queues, the one you left starts moving faster.
    My version: The traffic always moves faster on the opposite side of the road.
     
  5. Willouby’s Law: When you are trying to prove to someone that a machine will not work, it will.
     
  6. Lawrence’s Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands are fully coated with grease your nose begins to itch.
     
  7. Kovac’s Conundrum: When you dial a wrong number, it always rings.
     
  8. Law of Close Encounters: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don’t want to be seen with.
     
  9. Zadra’s Law of Biomechanics: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
     
  10. Owen’s Law: As soon as you sit down to with a hot cup of coffee, the boss gives you work that makes the coffee go cold.
