Sod's law [s?dz] n Informal a humorous or facetious precept stating that if something can go wrong or turn out inconveniently it will Also called Murphy's Law. Noun 1. Sod's Law - humorous axiom stating that anything that can go wrong will go wrong Murphy's Law There have been a few instances in my life when Sod’s Law has applied, but no more so than Monday past, that’s when the law really hit the fan! It was a bank holiday here, and that usually means a public holiday, but my work decided to open, stating, as I was rudely told, “We are not a bank!” .. well I wasn’t having any of that! I came into work, and after a rather hectic weekend, I decided, half day it is.. and took myself off home at 1pm on Monday :) Happy days? Well I thought so. I had plans of the cinema, the museum, surprising my partner who didn’t know I was coming home. All in all it was going to be great. Except it wasn’t. I’d forgotten my wallet, and my cash card, so I’d no money to bring anything nice home. My period started the minute I walked through the front door, which explained the agonising cramps I ended up acquiring on the way home. We were out of milk. The puppy had pee’d EVERYWHERE, and my partner didn’t feel the best.. so all in all, a bit of a crappy start to my wonderful day off. But never mind, we’ll salvage it! We’ll have a DVD and duvet day! We’ll watch lots of films and eat rubbish [after everything that was needed at the shop was got of course].. but what happened? I fell asleep. And woke at dinner time, when I would have been home from work anyway.. day wasted. So.. sod’s law anyone? Haha!

Wow, I never heard of sod's law, but that stinks...You should asked your partner to borrow some money to purchase a kennel for the dog, then you would have felt you got something positive accomplished.. I am so sorry you ended up sleeping away the day, then again, maybe you needed the rest..;)

This is something like "Man proposes; God disposes". Or was it the devil in this case!Why would God want to spoil your plans anyway, Or did a black cat cross your path. I could line up many situations that could have caused this - Murphy's law included.Yes. It just does not rain but pours!

We had a two day holiday from Monday. It's actually a religious holiday. No public office, no bank, but some banks are open. Too bad your plans didn't go your way. I'm having terrible days lately but i think i'm slowly getting my old self back. i will eventually return to mylot and have fun again when i'm ready. See you!

So I see that you didn't not rest in Bank Holiday. For me was the same boring day like many others. I think I need go to doctor with my workaholism. Anyway I hope next time you will get some rest.
