I have found two laws:

The tangle law: Somehow wires, hoses, string, etc. will tangle itself up into a mess that you will have to untie even though all it did was sit on the floor or in a box and no one ever touched it. I wish I could harness this power somehow because you could power the world with it.

Antifreeze law: If you have a pan of antifreeze below an engine you are working on you will always drop your rachet or wrench into it at least one time. It is like a magnet for anything metallic. Once it even claimed my cell phone! Man do I hate that stuff!

Have a great Friday!
