Aphorisms: it’s raining it’s pouring
It frequently rains very gently.
Remember last week when you spilled a little bit of coffee but managed to avoid burning yourself and otherwise it was a very nice morning? No? That’s right, it is easy to forget that, usually, just one small thing will go wrong and it’s not that bad. It frequently rains without pouring. In fact, yesterday there was a very light shower out of an almost-clear sky with the sun shining, then it stopped for a while. Then there were a few snowflakes, which quickly stopped, and it was sunny all afternoon.
So, the next time everything is breaking at once and Murphy’s Law is in full effect, don’t pretend that this happens all the time–it’s unusual.
Obsolete saying:
It never rains but it pours.
