You may have heard of some of the laws in the sciences, like Boyle's Law. And maybe some of the (definitely) non-science laws, like Parkinson's Law. Well, I want to jump on this bandwagon; so here are some of my "laws." I've come up with others but sadly they might just be forgotten.
1. There's always a better way to do something—faster, simpler, cheaper.
2. As soon as you buy gas, you see it cheaper at another station—usually within a few minutes and within two or three blocks.
3. You only get an itch when both hands are full so you can't scratch it.
4. You see the “easy open” tab or zipper or whatever after you've opened the package with brute force or taken a knife or scissors to it.
5. Two men with similar facial hair are likely to be perceived as looking alike
6. You get out the can opener and then realize it's one of those pop-top cans.
7. Never talk about--say negative things about--someone to a third person. It will get back to them--a lesson I learned slowly and painfully.
8. In looking for an item on the cupboard shelf (e.g.), as soon as you say "I can't find it" or "I don't see it," you do see it. At least this is true for me.
9. We love 'em (e.g. Mexicans, Irish) over there--but when they move here, as immigrants, it may be a quite different story.
10. Things very often turn out to be more difficult or more complicated--and take way longer--than we ever foresaw.
11. The order in which you do things frequently is very important.
