Murphy's 43rd law

[Mr Macaw]

If you're carrying a large sheet of wood etc from A to B, you will always find yourself on the wrong side of it when you want to prop it against a wall.

[Mr Macaw]

Also if you're carrying something heavy in one hand, your free hand is always on the wrong side for the handle of the door you need to open.

[Bill Wright]

Immediately after you pick up a heavy object using both hands your nose will start to itch.

[Mr Macaw]

Yes, I noticed that yesterday. I always put it down and scratch. I cannot tolerate an unscratched itch!

[David Lang]

On a perfectly still day, opening a roll of weed control fabric will immediately cause a force ten gale to spring up.

[Mr Macaw]

I've had that problem carrying 8x4 foot sheets of polystyrene insulation. I seem to have invented the windsurf.

Hang on, weed control fabric? Aren't you supposed to smoke it, not control it?

[Brian Gaff]

Also when carrying something with cables attached up stairs, the bit that loops always gets trod on making further movement up said stairs either impossible or dangerous.
