Murphy Law and the Likes

While studying I came across a series of Eponymous Laws.

What are these laws about? They are laws named after people who conceived with them.

These are amongst my favorites.

Murphy's law — "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."

Parkinson's law — "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." ( how true! no wonder I always seem so busy despite leaving so much time to do my work!)

Pareto principle — States that for many phenomena 80% of consequences stem from 20% of the causes.

Reilly's law of retail gravitation — People generally patronize the largest mall in the area. ( hahaha)

Sayre's law — "In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the stakes at issue."
