Post up your variations of Murphy laws. For instance: - Whatever your looking for, it will be in the last place you look.
- If it ain't broke, it will be soon.

No matter what line you stand in at the DMV, it will be the wrong one.
You will only accidentally lock yourself out of the house when you are severely underdressed, or it is raining.

Any fastener or tool dropped while working on a vehicle will somehow land underneath the exact center of the vehicle! The last fastener to remove a faulty part will seize and strip. The last fastener to install a new replacement part will seize and strip.

If the auto part you need is absolutely crucial to finishing an emergency repair, the auto parts store will be out of it and have to order it. From Bulgaria.

Just when you think nothing can go wrong, something usually does which covers a broad range of Murphy's Law in itself.

When performing in a concert, mere seconds after you've managed to frantically turn a page,a breeze will turn it back.
Corollary: The breeze will wait until you approach the most difficult and unmemorized passage.

During a performance, the "brakes" on the piano dolly will fail such that the instrument rolls forward about a foot with every sforzando or fortissimo chord played. [This has actually happened to me and was the cause of much hilarity; every loud passage I played moved the dopey thing at least several inches, and after the first yard, I had to tug the thing back or crash into some unsuspecting band members.]
Corollary: This occurs only in the middle of music such as Chopin's Prelude in F minor, Op. 28, or when a piano is used to accompany a concerto written for another instrument.

Now I know why Jerry Lee Lewis would stand up and jump all around when he played "Great Balls of Fire" He was playing and trying to chase the piano around at the same time!!!

For musicians who use floor-standing music stands, the threads on the thumb screw (that locks the height adjustment of the music shelf) will be quietly but crucially stripped over time. Naturally this will not be discovered until partway through an important performance.

Seeing the piano tech out of his lair is never good because the piano you planned to use next will be the one out of action. [This one also happened to me. The studio had 2 pianos and I was in the habit of using a particular one. The keyboard cover was closed. I set down my coat, placed my music on the stand, opened it to the correct page, noted peripherally that my professor seemed vaguely amused, lifted the keyboard cover, and put my hands in the correct location to play the first sonata. As I played the first chord, all I heard was a thump on the wood. The keys were gone! Check the picture; what I "played" was exactly like this -- the part of the piano called the "action" was in the repair room and therefore missing. My professor nearly choked laughing at me.] Attachments:
