Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

How many of these 'Non-Physic' Laws apply to you?
Permalink  

 

 
Law of Mechanical Repair - After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.
 
 
Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible place in the universe.
 
 
Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
 
 
Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal; someone always answers.
 
 
Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now.
 

Law of the Bath  - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone will ring.
 
 
Law of Close Encounters - The probability of meeting someone you know INCREASES dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.
 
 
Law of the Result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, IT WILL!!!

 

 
Law of Bio mechanics - The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

 

 
Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.
 
 
The Coffee Law - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

 

 
12.Murphy's Law of Lockers - If there are only 2 people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

 

 
13.Law of Physical Surfaces -
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet or rug.

 

 
14.Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible IF you don't know what you are talking about.

 

 
Law of Physical Appearance - If the clothes fit, they're ugly.

 

 
Law of Public Speaking -- A CLOSED MOUTH GATHERS NO FEET!

 

 
Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy - As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it OR the store will stop selling it!

 

 
Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there, you'll feel better. But don't make an appointment and you'll stay sick.

I was going to say all but the Coffee Law.  After all, we are now retired.

But then, I remembered that Jo has always been the boss, so the Coffee Law still applies.

As for the Law of Mechanical Repair, I used to work in agriculture and on numerous occasions had to repack some bearings on a farm implement while still out in the field.  When the Law of Mechanical Repair became an issue, our only avenue of fixing things was to "wash" our hands with dirt.  That would remove the grease from the hands, and then a wipe with a handy rag would clean off the dirt.

Good to go.

Otherwise, a very good list, Barbara.  Now we'll see if others can come up with similar "laws" of non physics.

The Heisenberg RV Uncertainty Principle:  The less you know about an RV system or its condition, the greater the probability that it will break or fail before you understand it.

Thanks Barb - these were very fun!!

I wish I could say there was one that I haven't had to learn.....but no, all of them apply.

In addition are

Law of Exit Proximity - related to the arena seats, the person in the back of a packed elevator is always the one who is getting off when the door opens - and no one else is.

Law of Potty Urgency - the least prepared you are for the weather/ground conditions, the longer the dog will take to do her business.

The Law of Probability usually occurs for me on the first tee. 'Nuff said. :)

 And here I thought it was only me that had problems on the first tee!   The more people behind us, the more likely I'm going to plunk the ball 50 yards out at best.

The beer cart girl cut across the fairway 50 yards in front of me and I hit a low burner and knocked her hubcap off. I didn't see her until the ball left the tee, as I was keeping my eye on the ball! :)

 You know, there would be some that would question the fact that you missed seeing both the beer and the cart girl.  Are we getting the whole story here?  I'd think that you might have at least "heard" the cart?

Or, had you "already" found the cart?

Just to clarify, we waved her off when she stopped to ask if we wanted anything, and she took off down the path on the right side of the fairway in the trees. I wasn't expecting her to cut across the fairway. No, I hadn't been drinking. :). I'm glad it was just the hubcap that got hit. Anyway, just an example of the Law of Probability.

Jim,

You wouldn't have been completely at fault anyway.  She should have been observant enough to see that someone was preparing to tee off and waited or gone around.  She may be one of those vying for the Darwin Award.

The law of the full trash bag states that "No matter which way you set a full trash bag, it will always fall the in the direction you were trying to avoid."
