sod's law

The phrase "sod's law" is a colloquial expression primarily used in British English to describe a situation where something seems to go wrong or go awry in the most annoying or inconvenient manner possible. It suggests a sense of irony or bad luck, emphasizing that when something can go wrong, it inevitably will. It is similar to the concept of Murphy's Law, which states that "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."
