In life very little runs smoothly. There are always hiccups (si, en inglés se usa "hipo" para decir problemillas) along the way. There are times, however, when you feel that everything that can go wrong will go wrong!
In Spanish you would probably use the expression "ley de murphy" but in British English we would use "Sod's Law"! Interestingly, from a little bit of research that I did online, it clear that in the United States they also use "Murphy's law"! So, if you want to pretend that you are from the States then you can just use the Spanglish version! The British, on the other hand, like to be different...what can I say? It is the way it is!
