If anything can go wrong, it will, but now 'experts' have come up with a formula to 'prove' why you strike 17 red lights in a row when you are late, or why the phone always rings while you are in the shower...

To have a perfect, Murphy-free day, simply change one of the variables in the formula

((U+C+I) x (10-S))/20 x A x 1/(1-sin(F/10)),

where U=Urgency, C=Complexity, I=Importance, S=Skill and F=Frequency (all variables are rated between 0 and 9. 'A' (aggravation) is given a set score of 0.7.

Read all about it here.

My question is- how does one become an 'expert' in stuff-ups, and NOT be a politician?
