Here's is one more that I am sure we have all experienced.
The hose, rope and chain law: If pulling or dragging a long water hose, rope or chain, it will invariably snag or hang up at the furthermost distance from where you are. In addition, by the time you clear up the snag, it will have tied itself in at least one or two knots.

Love reading these - at one time or another I have proven most of them!

My favorite "Murphys Law"
The sum of the intelligence on the planet is constant. The population is growing.

The law of word processing
The probability of a block of text having a spelling error is directly proportional to the number of times it was copy'n'pasted.

Most of us are familiar with King Midas an the 'Golden Touch' story.
Many of us have also had the privilege of working with his ill-begotten nephew, Prince Dungess.

#3 - Law of Random Numbers
When my first child was born in 1983, I tried calling my parents from the hospital pay phone using a calling card (remember those?). I reached someone who definitely wasn't one of my parents and politely apologized for dialing the wrong number. Later that month when I received my bill I had an $8+ 1 minute call to Australia - and that was real money to a college student! Didn't have a clue from the call that the person I talked to was in Australia - sounded just as Mid-West as I am. Thankfully, AT&T credited us for the wrong number.
As the law goes - someone always answers.
