Loser in-law

The "Best friend" that is oblivious to his/her 3rd wheel intrusion. Or intentionally causes problems between his/her best friends relationship out of spite or jealousy due to his own inability to excel in life.

A loser, usually has a dead end job or none at all. Uses people for money. Always leaves the tab for someone else to pay without remorse.

They do not own a car. Usually have some sort of addiction to a drug, that they maintain very well through the misfortunes of those around them having to put up with them.
Drama queens-usually very dramatic people. Think that because some unfortunate event has happened to them that they're behavior is acceptable.

Will purposely plant idea's in his/her best friends heads to start fights within their relationship. Ex. "he/she is just using you for your money" or "if he/she loved you they wouldn't do that"

The biggest loser of them all, will never amount to anything and will do everything in they're power to drag people down with them. Because misery loves company.

Jenn: guess chase brought my loser in-law, to lunch
Chase: Hey babe
Loser in-law: youre covering lunch right? U know I'm broke. Wanna grab some beers after this, your treat? Lol no but really?

O'Brien's Law

There is nothing that the right or the centre of UK politics won't try to evade responsibility for by blaming Corbyn. Named after LBC shock jock James O'Brien.

O'Brien's Law strikes again. Whatever the topic it's all Corbyn's fault.

Murphy's law

If something can go wrong it will

What is Murphy's law. Murphy's law is 2020

Murphy's Law

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".

From an inventor's viewpoint, this is ultimately an argument for keeping things simple and focused on a single task. The simpler an invention is, the less scenarios need to be considered and tested.

Another way to understand it is as though you are living in the future looking back at a problem that occurred:

"If something went wrong with your invention, it's because you didn't do anything to prevent that scenario from happening".

Examples of things you could have prevented but didn't, and thus went wrong:
- The electrical cables burned the house down because the load was too hot. This could have been prevented by adding a fuse, but you didn't.
- The water heater exploded because it didn't have a pressure release valve, which it could have had, but didn't.
- The door fell off the plane when it went upside down because the hinge pin didn't have a lock, which it could have had, but didn't.
- The Earth shifted and caused cracks in the clay pipes under the house, which could have been prevented if flexible piping was used, but it wasn't.

Again, ultimately this is a reminder to keep your invention as simple as possible. It's often tempting to keep throwing new features into it, to make it appeal to a larger audience or solve more problems, but every new feature creates new, untested possible outcomes which can be hard to predict. Hard to predict that is, until they've happened, which they will.

Inventor 1: I created a lightswitch! It has 2 possible states: on or off. I'm aware all of the scenarios that could exist!

Critic: Great, except I see you used iron on the connector pins. Did you account for the corrosive reaction if copper wire is used against the iron? Murphy's Law dictates that it will happen at some point, because it could.
