Murphy's Law in Action: Real Stories of Days Gone Wrong

5. Your Sign to Stop Chewing on Pens

Everybody practices something. Some people excessively mess with their hair; some people crack their knuckles; some people beat their feet nonstop. And then some people gnaw on pens. Have you ever been seated in class and subsequently noticed a chewed-up and twisted pen on a desk? People that like this guy are the ones responsible since they always chew on pens. Should you be a pen chewser, be advised that this could also happen to you! A pen can explode while you are chewing and for this to occur it doesn't take much!
For our unhappy pen-chewer, what began as a mindless habit during a particularly dull lecture evolved into a show worthy of a low-budget horror movie. Disaster struck as they absent-mindedly bit on their pens, engrossed in ideas of anything but the professor's droning. At last bored with the ongoing mistreatment, the pen chose to rebel. It burst spectacularly with a tiny pop that like a whisper of retribution. Ink spilled everywhere, painting our protagonist's mouth, teeth, and a good bit of their face a deep blue canvas. Only the mix of terror and entertainment on their classmates' faces could match the priceless shock on their own face. They considered the irony as they hurried to the restroom, leaving blue drops in their wake. Though becoming known as the "Ink Face Kid" wasn't precisely what they had in mind, they had always intended to leave a lasting mark in college. They vowed off pen-chewing for good that day forward, substituting the far safer—albeit less satisfying—habit of drawing in their notebook margins. For fidgeters everywhere, the episode acted as a sobering reminder that some behaviors are better left unchewed once and for once.

6. Always Close the Car Door Before a Snowstorm

Particularly if you reside in a snowy area, winter is a challenging period. Making sure your car is free of snow and ice calls for early waking. You have to shovel your driveway so you may get your car out and head to work. Should you already despise the winter, this is most likely your worst nightmare. This family neglected to close the car door before a snowfall, hence this happened. Given the manner the snow entered the automobile, it had to be a quite severe snowfall. The automobile is utterly covered!
Imagine waking up on a cold winter morning all grogg from sleep and discovering your car turned into a small snow globe. This poor family discovered the hard way that every element counts in the fight against cold. Their car became the most recent work of art created by nature because to their basic neglect of closing a car door. Clearly feeling especially wicked that evening, the snowfall viewed the open door as a call to redesign. It turned the inside of the automobile like a winter wonderland with a heavy blanket of snow covering every nook and corner. Now the dashboard, seats, even the steering wheel, had a fresh, icy layer. As the family looked about, one could only picture the mixture of incredulity, annoyance, and maybe a bit of reluctant appreciation on their faces. Their job ahead of them was difficult: not only would they have to clean the outside of their car, but also dig inside of it. This family won't be forgetting to close their car doors anytime soon, hence their story reminds us coldly: when it comes to winter readiness, never leave any door open. or, in this situation, unclosed.
