Examples of sod's law
Discussion
I have a t-shirt that has no labels inside and is plain coloured. Every single time I put it on, without fail, I always put it on the wrong way and have to turn it around. I could spend 4-5 seconds holding it up to work out which way, but I prefer the gamble (which never pays off).
There is also a set of traffic lights near me. I swear to God, in all the years I have lived round here, never once have they been green as I've driven up to them. They are always turning red as I round the bend towards them. It used to make me laugh, but now it's like they're taunting me
Any examples from you?

Pull cords on curtains.
Doesn't matter if I'm opening or closing the curtains, I get the wrong cord every single fecking time. It's got to the point where I've tried grabbing the first cord, then immediately grabbing the other to see if I can catch sod's law out. Obviously this makes sod all difference!

A T junction I use 7 or 8 times a day, I guarantee that as I approach it to join the main road there will be zero traffic passing in either direction.
The second I get to the line and stop and look there will be a slow moving vehicle with a huge queue behind it and not enough time for me to get out on front of it all.
It's like i trigger some traffic as I approach the junction.
Every. Time.

When opening a box of tablets, it's virtually guaranteed the little advice slip will always be there, in yhe way. I've taken the advice to open them from the riht hand side when looking at the front label but no, every time.
This! It shouldn't be so annoying but it absolutely isFore Left said:

Plugging in a USB lead - it should be 50/50...
If you can see the USB symbol on the plug it is the right way up. Works 100% of the time 
USBC is the future, USB and Micro USB need to die quickly IMO.

They do that on purpose. They cannot make you read them, but the packaging is designed to force you to interact with it.My commute involves driving 6 miles along a quiet rural B road at 6.30 a.m. I usually don't see any other cars at all coming in the opposite direction... apart from one point where there is a row of 4 cottages with cars parked on the road outside creating a bottleneck, every single morning there will be a car coming the other way at precisely this point meaning I've got to stop and give way.
