In recent days I have encountered a number of things that have made me think that there are certain rules in life that no matter what, always have to be obeyed (also known as "Sod's Law" I believe !). The following have all happened to me so often I know that there must be a higher power somehwere controlling our every move ;D
- If you're in a rush to get somewhere by a certain time, you always get stuck behind somebody driving slowly.
- If the person you get stuck behind turns off, 100 yards up the road someone else pulls out in front of you and then drives even slower.
- The old person in front of you in the supermarket queue can never remember their PIN number.
- Supermarket tills always need their till rolls changed just as you get to the till. And the assistant can never do it first time.
- If you have more than 5 items in a basket in a supermarket, there is always one that won't scan.
- If you're in a queue that is stationary and the queue next to you is moving, you swap queues just in time for your new one to grind to a halt as your old one starts moving at light speed.
- You always miss a special offer by a day.
- No matter how good a deal you have got for something, someone you know will have got a better one.
- If you really like something in a shop, they will never have your size.
- Or they will have your size but not in the colour you want.
- Or they will have sold the last one in your size 5 minutes before you came in and the line has now been discontinued so they're not getting any more.
- If you like a particular item of food, it will be discontinued.
- If you like a particular style of clothing, it will be discontinued.
- If you buy something like a printer and it goes wrong, they will always have stopped making that model the week after you bought it so can no longer get the part you need to fix it.
- If you have a choice of 2 games of footie to watch, you will always choose the 0-0 draw rather than the 5-4 thriller.
There must be millions of similar ones out there........

;D - The old person in front of you in the supermarket queue can never remember their PIN number. Wrong they do not use pin but try to count out all the small coins they can hardly see to make things convenient for the cashier. This of course takes some time ;D But hey other rule: sooner or later that person will be us  |

This of course takes some time ;D If an old person in front of you is paying by cash, they always seem "surprised" when they actually get asked to pay and only then do they start rummaging around in a handbag the size of a suitcase for their purse. Which they can never find. FA x |

I hold onto something for years and then the day after I've thrown it out I find a use for it. |

You hold on to something for years ( or OH does cos he's a hoarder) in case it's useful, then when you do need it...........you can never find it and have to buy a new one anyway!! |

There were four people - Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it but Nobody did.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody would not do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody asked Anybody.
;D

"- If you like a particular item of food, it will be discontinued."
Or they will change it, put "New Improved" on it, it won't taste the same and you won't like it anymore.

Some more......
If you buy an item with a guarantee or warranty, it will go wrong within a week or two of the guarantee expiring.
Or it will go wrong within the guarantee period but the fault will not be covered by the guarantee. It'll be in the small print somewhere.
If you're paddling in the sea, you will stub your toe on the only submerged rock for at least 200 yards in either direction.

When you just nip out to the local shop without bothering to get changed, you'll see at least 2 people you know |

if something goes wrong with your PC, the technical support people will say "I've never seen one do that before".

If you want to order a part or component for something and there's a choice of 2 that it could be, you always order the wrong one.

You want half a dozen nails or screws.The local shop ( which you are meant to patronise) shrugs and says they haven't got them.B and Q only sell giant boxes of them at three times the price you hoped you'd pay |
