The world is filled with laws, in all shapes and forms. We have legal and state laws, civil laws, we have laws in science, common laws, laws of philosophy, and so on… 

However, there is one law that we all know firsthand, as we all had to deal with it at one point or another – Murphy's Law.

Murphy's Law, by law, is always there when you least expect it, and you are never happy to encounter it. It is annoying, makes your life much harder, and is totally unavoidable by nature. Here at FailBlog, Murphy's Law is one of the most valuable players in many pieces of content we share, including the story we have here.

The person who wrote this Reddit story (original poster, OP) had to leave his house for a final exam when he was visited by Murphy's Law, which came in the form of a random person's car, blocking OP's way out. This led OP, who was in a rush to get to his exam, to leave his car behind and take an Uber to school, yet still something had to be done about the blocking car…

Keep scrolling to read how this encounter came to a resolution. Up next, check out this story of an overworked employee who refused to attend the office Christmas party.

    Half a mind to key their box if they do it again but idk, management said the plates didn't belong to any resident in the complex so hopefully they don't pull it again

    steelcryo Next time get gf to drive over and block them in. When they come back to their car and complain they're blocked in, you then get the fun of them trying to justify why blocking you in is fine, but you blocking them in is not okay.

    TheOne_Whomst_Kno... OP We share the car sadly, both of us work from home and never used the other car. Would be funny tho!

    herkalurk LMAO, tow company wouldn't come tow a car IMMEDIATELY? That's literally how they make money....

    TheOne Whomst_Kno... OP I know and I agree, but tbf they told her they legit had multiple stops to make first as they had a crazy # of calls today, it's not a huge tow company so I'm inclined to believe them. Like you said, that's how they make their money so I'd be surprised if they were just being lazy idk

    SharkEatingSquirrel Can you not call the cops to have a car towed as well? I have a friend who got towed by the police for "blocking" a driveway. (My friend said that it was maybe 6 inches to a foot of overlap on one side of this persons driveway and they could still get out.

    Whether or not that is true, that's not the point of this comment.) My friend had to knock on the guys house and ask if he knew where the car went, and he was like I had it towed. It was within 45 minutes to an hour. If my recollection of her story retelling is correct.

    Im_Ashe_Man Did you at least leave an angry note on their windshield or something?

    TheOne_Whomst_Kno... OP It would've been up to my gf to do that (I left in an uber pretty quick) and she's wayyy too sweet/nice for me to ask her to do that lol

    jmartin2683 Looks like someone else's garage that you are renting. This has downsides.

    TheOne Whomst Kno... OP I know? It's an apartment garage and I'm literally a college student in Florida do you think I'm going to buy property in this hole? I'm leaving as soon as I graduate

    Ch1ckenOfTheSea Probably a very dumb question. Is it possible to back up to a parked car, gently touch bumpers, and slowly roll the other car out? I know it will probably { up the parking car mechanically a little bit. But I've just always been curious if it's possible.

    TheOne_Whomst_Kno... OP I could, but I'd be blocking the whole road for my neighbors, and that ain't cool

    Kerberos1566 If you want to be petty and got his license plate, you could probably take him to small claims court for the Uber cost.

    TheOne Whomst_Kno... OP I'm petty, but also lazy. Not going to court for that
