Murphys law is that if it can go wrong, it will go wrong. Sods law is everything is against you. Anyone have any examples?

E.g murphys law: there is a 0.0001 percent chance of the bus being late, but it is late.
E.g sods law: you are about to win a cod mw2 match but at the last second to victory:connection error.

Once I was in line in Tesco I believe it was, I rarely buy a scratch card but I decided to get one as I was only buying a magazine. I had my phone in my hand and was texting, someone just walks straight into the back of me, I drop my phone which went black and never worked again. Then as I was picking it up someone jumps in front of me, buys the card I was going too and as he was there won £250 on it.

I guess that's sod's law but it's the only example I have I'm pretty lucky with everything else.
