Today I’d like to suggest the following as one of the unbreakable underlying laws governing the universe, like gravity, magnetism or Tory stupidity. Matt’s bus law: when you’re waiting for a bus but it never comes. You wait and wait and wait, telling yourself that it could arrive at any moment. Then, the moment you decide to go and find another bus stop or another route to wherever you want to go, the bus arrives. Apparently your decision to leave the stop made the bus come, almost as if your presence there was somehow actively preventing the bus from arriving. Then, as soon as you realise your mistake and start to go back to the bus stop, the bus moves on. A variant of Sod’s Law, only far more annoying.
