Like the tendency to move from order to disorder, or for tighter supply to command a higher price, or the number of transistors sqeezed onto a chip doubling every 18 months...
It's like when you see the perfect parking spot, right up close to the front, nearest to where you gotta go, but you can't get it because you were just a little later than the other guy who pulled into the parking lot a second before you... so you drive around until you finally find an open spot, waaaaay on the other side of the parking lot, but then when you walk all the way back to the front, you see another spot near the front has opened up.
It's like when it's almost time to go, so you start wrapping things up and getting ready to go home, and just then your boss comes by and can you just take care of this one last thing, and so you start everything back up do it as fast as you can and then rush down and run to the station and to the platform just in time to see the doors closing and your train leaving, and then you realize you just missed the last direct train and so you won't be getting home for another 2 hours or so and you start thinking about how hungry you are.
It's like when you finally get a chance to wash your car when it's been long overdue, and so you take a little extra time to get it really clean and then it rains the next day.
It's like when you been been holding out on buying that thing you want because it's too expensive and you just keep telling yourself you'll buy it when it goes on sale but it never does, so you finally just buy it and then later that week it goes on sale.
It's like that girl that sits alone you've been wanting to talk to but just not have had enough courage to approach but finally you wake up one day and you feel good and you know you can do it so you get all worked up and you see her that day but you find that some guy has swooped in and he's like totally all over her and she actually seems to be enjoying his attention.
Happens all the time. It's like that's the way the world works, and the sooner you realize it the sooner you'll stop feeling like punching yourself in the face so much.
Don't believe me? Think I'm a pessimist? A fatalist you say? Well, I'm not the only one that's observed this law. I was trying to look up the name of that law about transistors on a chip doubling every 18 months (turns out it's Moore's Law... I was guessing all these names that start with 'M') when I ran into Murphy's Law.

it's like the one day you don't bring an umbrella, it pours like crazy.
or, when you finally decide to just make a run for it in the pouring rain, only to arrive at your destination and the rain stops.
