How to say Ono's hard luck in idiom (like just have a flatted tyre and then lost one's cellphone)?

Answer 1

He's between a rock and a hard place. (This means he is in a bad situation with no good options).

Murphy's Law means that "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong".

This sounds like "The situation went from bad to worse".

A saying my father likes to use when things are going badly is:
"Don't worry. You can't fall off the floor."

Answer 2

I would go -
It is only flat on the bottom bit.
Phones ? give it a call and see who answers.
Fall out of a 'plane & shout - "IDIOM"
Worth a try.
Bob.

Answer 3

sod's law or Murphy's law
