Answer 1

Yes we've all heard of Murphy's Law. Of course, it is just a negative way of thinking & perhaps becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy but it certainly feels true at the time! I think my experiences fall under ones already in your list. I don't think I've ever seen them listed that way. In fact I've only ever heard it referred to as "Murphy's Law" singular as a catch-all for things going wrong.

Mine is that every time I'm approaching a cash register, whichever line I pick will wind up being the worst/the longest wait. Even if there is only one person ahead of me there will be a price check that takes 15 minutes while the 10 people that were in the next line over are home by now & I wish I'd gone there instead! Or an elderly person is paying with pennies. Or the person has other issues (refunds etc or arguments with the cashier). But it doesn't matter which line I pick, it is always the worst.

Another is that if I'm already late for work, I will get stuck behind some dumba$s going way too slow and I'll hit every red light on the way!

Perhaps though I create my own bad luck by expecting these negative things to happen! We create our own destiny based on what we believe!

my friend told me these. here are some camping murphy's rules:
Remaining distance to a given campsite remains constant as twilight approaches.
Average local temperature increases with the amount of clothing packed.
All available humidity and moisture will congregate on match heads.
The sun sets 47% faster than normal when setting up camp. It sets another 28% faster if rain is eminent.

oh, and
no good deed goes unpunished.
if you have chronically cranky people in your life you understand that one.
