Law of Annoyment

An eternal mystery...
How is it, that annoying things can happen - seemingly random things that should be by chance - but they seem to happen with amazing regularity...
Let me explain.
This happens almost every time I use the iron -I know, a single guy using an iron, surely this is an anomalie - that's another story for another post - inevitably the cord will wrap around the legs of the ironing board and the plug will stick, such that I have to bend over and untangle it. Happens every time I want to make quick work of wrapping up the iron cord. And it makes me mad!
But when I have tried to do get it to do that on purpose it won't do it. If I were dangling from a third floor window, and somehow managed to grab hold of the iron cord and tried to wrap it around the legs of the nearest ironing board and thereby pull myself to safety I might as well forget it. I'd never get it.
But when I'm in a hurry, tired and trying to get that tedious job finally over with it will get stuck every time.
Note that this phenomenon is related to similar happenings: toast always falling jelly-side down and only slopping spaghetti sauce on your shirt when you're wearing a white one for the job interview.
It's unfair and not funny, no matter how funny the universe may think it to be. Ha ha.
It's the Law of Annoyment*:
Actions that you can't reproduce on demand to save your life will always happen at the worst times.
I hate that.

*Yeah. It's not a word. I know, ok?
