Wherein I MPSIMS "Bad Physics"...

Is that more like an uncertanty principal. Not only all four cannot be perfect at once. If three of four are perfect the fourth must be infinitely wrong at that point. So a very large, perfectly light and sweet coffee would by necessity be at either 0 Kelvin or a super heated plasma. Also due to the Schrodinger cat effect, you can in no way measure that temperature without actually tasting the coffee since without observation it would be in a indeterminate quantum state of both zero and infinite temperature.

Yeah … that’s what I meant. Bippy’s just smarter than me. But I can spell both uncertainty and principle.

That’s what you get for tryin’ to sound smart.

And, if all four were perfect at the same time, Schrodinger’s cat would leap up on the table and either drink or spill the coffee (or a superposition of both?), so you’d never know.

Isolated pockets of terminal velocity. I can be walking on a perfectly level surface, when I suddenly find myself speeding to kiss the floor/ground in unexpected and undesired freefall.

Thermal Footwear Quotient: The specific heat of a given surface is proportional to the distance across it I must travel, multiplied by a large constant factor of whether I forgot my shoes.

Electrostatic Popularity Repulsion: The presence of more than two coworkers to observe a challenging bug will cause important cables to spontaneously disconnect.

Temporally Sensitive Locomotive Resonance: Due to daily weather patterns and temperature fluctuations, the ideal atmospheric conditions for transmitting the sound of a train’s whistle are achieved at precisely 2:43 am PST.

Attractive Pants: Certain trousers possess an abnormally large field for attracting spillable objects (eg. coffee, buttered toats, beef stew). I have no way of measuring the filed strength but it appears to dissipate in direct proportion to time out of the washer.
It also seems that butter is has a similar, oppositely charged field as buttered toast always lands buttered side to attractive pants.

Spontaneous Unipolar Electromagnetism: If you are working on something with small screws or other metal parts they and the tool you are using immediately become positively charged and repel the smallest object under the nearest heavy object.

Vehicular Singularity: A stopped car exerts more gravitational force on its surroundings than its mass would suggest. This is why anything dropped in a garage will roll underneath the very center of a car and stop.

These are more “bad engineering” than “bad physics”, but these are true for me.

Operator headspace error: The specific algorithm for a given procedure is corrupted somehow, usually because the operator isn’t paying attention.

Open in the power supply: A given piece of electrical equipment does not work, even though it worked five minutes ago. Usually caused by aforementioned operator headspace error; a new algorithm is written that causes said operator to kick the power strip switch to the off position.
