About this quote

Some days, the universe feels like it is actively plotting against your coordination. It is easy to feel targeted when even the basic laws of physics seem to conspire to make your morning difficult. You drop your coffee or trip on a flat rug. Treating these clumsy slip-ups with a dose of dark humor keeps you from losing your temper. It turns a minor annoyance into a funny battle with the physical world.

When to use it

• When your paper grocery bag rips from the bottom and sends a dozen oranges rolling under your car.
• After you trip over a perfectly flat curb during a run right in front of your neighbors.
• When your phone slips out of your hand and cracks on the office floor ten minutes after you bought it.
• Right after you drop a freshly baked tray of lasagna upside down onto the kitchen tiles.
