    Or more accurately: Finagle’s law, often confused with Murphy’s law. Murphy’s law is more about UI design that shouldn’t allow for mistakes. Finagle’s law is about bad luck and the general perversity of the universe.

      Murphy’s law is that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong eventually

      It did potentially originate from an aerospace engineer talking about safe plane design, but the law as everyone knows it is the one above.

      Finagle’s law is an extension of Murphy’s law by replacing “eventually” with “at the worst possible moment”
