Edward J Murphy was a Major in the US Air Force in the 1940s. Murphy complained about one of the technicians serving under him on a project “If there is any way to do it wrong, he’ll find it.”

In its simplest form, Murphy’s Law states: If anything can go wrong, it will. It also states that if there are two or more ways to do anything and one of them potentially results in disaster, someone will do it.

The original law has been extended over time and it can be applied to our day-to-day life.

Some of them are listed below, surely you would have experienced many of the below situations.
