I Wonder...

Does this kind of thing only happen to me, or is it a universal phenomenon?



THGGM and I hate to grocery shop. He hates it because he spent 24 years working in grocery stores. I'm not sure what my reason is, but I dislike it immensely.



Anyway...



So we buy things in bulk when we finally DO go out. And, generally we replace things before they run out.



This week we ran low on toilet paper. So, today I had to snatch some from the secret 'just in case we run out' stash and put it in the bathroom.



This isn't news, nor is it interesting at all. But,..



As I was vacuuming behind the toilet (it gets dusty back there) the vacuum wand caught the tail of the toilet paper and IMMEDIATELY sucked the rest of the roll into the vacuum.



Now, I just happen to believe that had we extra rolls on hand, this would NEVER have happened.



I nearly cried. I did say, to no one at all, "This kind of thing is ALWAYS happening to me!".



No one heard.

It had to happen. I'm sure it's a corollary to Murphy's Law.

It always rains right after I wash my car.

The only time I get a dent in my car is when it's new.

I only spill food down my front when I have clean cloths on.

The dog/cat always barfs on the newest carpet in the house.

The kid always throws up right after drinking something that stains.

When I was going to college with two young children, the children always got the stomach flu during final week - and gave it to me.

Your example, however, is unique and funny. I'm sure it should be recorded somewhere as part of the corollary proof.
