Anastasia moment

Anastasia moment – is the ultimate Murphy’s law moment (“Everything that can and cannot go wrong, will go wrong”). It is when a person (not necessarily someone who goes by the Greek name Anastasia), had good intentions, but somehow lost control of things, causing them to backfire and go so wrong that one would think that “that’s it, there’s no way out”. However, because the name Anastasia means “resurrection”, the things magically work out, leaving the person at the butt end of the joke seemingly unscathed (only slightly humiliated) .

- I just had the ultimate Anastasia moment!
- What's that like?
- I can't use my arms to carry stuff, because I am on crutches. But I wanted to eat cereals for dinner and watch How I met your mother at the same time, but my family had abandoned me. So I go downstairs to the kitchen and I come up with a brilliant idea, I put cereals and milk into a tupperware, I close it, and but it on my head. I am balancing my way to the TV, I go up five steps, and boom, it's all on the floor. It looked like I had puked everywhere, so I quit and just sort of sat there... My mom didn't even yell. That's how pathetic I am.
