Life's Little Situations

I am sick, at the wrong time. I have been feeling rather flu-ish since last week as my throat started itching and my nose started getting blocked. Yesterday I was sniffling and sneezing the whole day away. Thank goodness I am more or less done with my assignment! Now I just worry I may not be able to perform this Saturday.

I received this email from a friend and am amazed by the accuracy of the statements. Really a true reflection of life’s little situations.

1. After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch. (Is that not just irritating?!)

2. Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

3. When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone.

4. If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tyre, the next morning you will have a flat tyre.

5. If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now.

6. When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.

7. The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you do not want to be seen with. (Or the probability of meeting someone you do not wish to see is higher than meeting someone you wish to see.)

8. When you try to prove to someone that a machine will not work, it will.

9. The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

10. At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrives last.

11. 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. You remember you have to mail a letter only when you are near the mailbox. (Obviously you will not have the letter with you then.)

13. When you start drinking in a pub with your friends, your wife will call you on the hand phone.

14. The moment you open an email attachment with funny or adult pictures, your boss walks into your cubicle.
