1. Murphy's Law

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

According to this principle, if something bad can happen, then it will definitely happen. At the same time, the worst of the possible unpleasant situations will happen.

2. Meskimen's Law

There is never enough time to do a good job. But it is always there to redo everything.

And it happens. We postpone an important task until the last moment, then we deal with it somehow and spend much more on redoing it.

3. Poe's law

Without a smiling smiley face or any other obvious sign of humor, it is impossible to joke about sharp topics so that at least someone does not take it seriously.

Any joke or parody on a hot topic is bound to be perceived by someone as a true statement.

4. Ettore's Observation

The line next to you always moves faster.

Even if there are five people in it with full carts, and in yours there are only two with a bottle of water and a pack of pasta. Either the cash register breaks down, or one of them starts counting out the change.

5. Khleid's Law

Assign a difficult task to a lazy employee. He will find the easiest way to solve it.

He will just be too lazy to complicate his work.

6. The Law of Search

You need to start the search from the most inappropriate place.

If you don't expect to find scissors in the laundry basket, maybe that's where they are.

7. Hanlon's Razor

Never explain with malicious intent what can easily be explained by stupidity.

First, look for the reason in human mistakes and only then think that the person did something on purpose, out of bad intentions.

8. Pareto's Law

20% of the effort gives 80% of the result, the remaining 80% of the effort is only 20% of the result.

The ratio of effort and result is unequal: 20% of customers bring the company 80% profit, and 80% of the time spent on current tasks will bring only 20% benefit. And so it is in every area of life.

9. Parkinson's Law

The work fills the time allotted for it.

You can complete a task in one day, but you have set a week for it. And you'll be working on it for a week.

10. Lerman's Law

Any technical problem can be solved if there is enough time and money.

Lerman's corollary: you will always run out of time or money.

11. Sturgeon's Revelation

90% of anything is nonsense.

If you are told that 90% of your thesis is nonsense, remember that this applies not only to your writing.

12. Peter's Principle

Competent employees, climbing the career ladder, reach their level of incompetence.

According to this principle, sooner or later a person will find himself in a position that he cannot cope with.

13. Gumperson's Law

The probability of achieving the desired result is inversely proportional to the strength of desire.

When you are late for work, you get stuck in traffic, buses break down, you have to walk. But if you decide to take a walk, then these buses will pass by you one by one.

14. Finagle's Fourth Law

If the work goes wrong, then any attempt to save the situation will only make it worse.

Sometimes the best is the enemy of the good.

15. Chisholm's Third Law

People don't understand sentences the way the person who makes them does.

Even if you express a thought clearly and clearly, someone will interpret it in their own way.

16. The axiom of Kahn and Orben

If nothing else helps, read the instructions.

For some reason, it is remembered too late.

17. The Law of Ould and Kahn

The effectiveness of the meeting decreases in proportion to the increase in the number of participants and the time spent on it.

Prolonged meetings with a large number of people discussing often lead to nothing.

18. Hendrickson's Law

If the problem requires repeated meetings, they will eventually become more important than the problem itself.

And, perhaps, it will not be solved.

19. The Law of Writing

As soon as you seal the envelope or drop the letter in the mailbox, an important thought will immediately come to your mind.

In the case of emails, of course, everything is simpler. You can send the second one after that — it won't take much time.

20. The McMahon Rule

It doesn't matter what exactly you are looking for on the Internet. At least one porn site will fall under your search criteria.

Okay, Google.

21. The law of career for women

Think like a man, act like a lady, work like a horse.

And don't forget to cook a delicious dinner!

22. The first law of correction

Information that involves reworking the project will be received by the author only when all the drawings have already been completed.

An important part of the work has already been done, but who cares? Except for you, who spent a lot of time on it.

23. The law of selective gravity

If you drop an item, it will fall so as to cause as much damage as possible.

Or it will roll into the farthest corner, from where it is almost impossible to get it.

24. Zimerga's Law of Voluntary Labor

A person always agrees to take up a job when it is no longer necessary.

Because, most likely, he won't have to do anything.

25. Richard's Rule of Interdependence

Anything you keep for a long time can be thrown away. But once you throw it away, you'll need it.
