Worst Murphy's Law Moment..?

Tell us bout the time when EVERYTHING went wrong.

Eg. My week this week has consisted of a uni computer crash and a home computer crash that resulted in me having to start my business law assignment over TWICE. Then I had to wrestle with the printer/computers @ uni 2day 4 an HOUR trying to print off my assignment coz it kept printing 'internal error' pages when it got up to page 4 (and eating my money in the meantime...). I got the assignment printed and handed in with 6 minutes to spare (when in reality I could have handed it in 3 days ago). Now I'm behind in all my subjects.

Murphy's law in action: So many people make up bullshit excuses that when the improbable actually happens, no-one believes you. Also, never trust machines. Ever.

Maybe it's not the machines. Maybe god just hates you. :P

Today, every question on the Physics mid-semester were on concepts i was praying wouldn't be on the test.

Those bastards. The questions I did know how to do were mysteriously absent...
