For example. I am watching my team play football. I need to go to the loo. I "know" that if I go they will score and I will miss it.
Now really I do know there is no connection between my toilet visit and the game. All the same - they always bloody do!
That's not superstition. That's Murphy's Law. Most people think Murphy's Law is just a cynical way of viewing things, but it's actually a proven scientific law. That's why I always carry an umbrella - it decreases the likelihood of rain.
