Weakened Offender Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) If I'm frying an egg it will always burst upon the gentle crack it's given. If I'm scrambling three eggs I could lob them all in the air, header them in to the pot and all three yolks would be intact.

A Boy Named Crow Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 If you go to plug in a usb, you'll try it one way, fail, flip it over, try again, fail again then flip it back it will work the way you tried the first time... always! Similar to putting a fitted sheet on a mattress - try once, realise it's not right, rotate it 90 degrees, it still won't be right. Only once you rotate it back 90 degrees to the starting position will it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very good examples. 👍 It probably demonstrates that we tend to give up on plan A too quickly and assume that plan B must the correct one.
