      Murphy’s law is more of a saying. It is when the most annoying possible outcome happens, it feels like it always happens (when in reality it probably doesn’t). There is no scientific reason for it.

      An example of it is how I always have my umbrella with me and the one time I leave it at home, it will rain.
      Or how it looks like its sunny so you hang out your laundry, and as soon as you’ve put it up, it starts raining.
      This always happens to me!
