| Murphy's Law of Auto Repair and the ASSUME RuleThe truth as seen by a true auto repair pessimist*See also the 10 Commandments of Car Repair.
ASSUME: When you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME.
K.I.S.S.: Keep It Simple Stupid.
Murphy's Laws:
- Nothing is as easy as it looks.
- Everything takes longer than you think.
- Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
- If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
- You never run out of things that can go wrong.
- If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
- It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
- Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
- Every solution breeds new problems.
