Why is the train on time when I am late but late when I am early?
Answers:
Jeanie please please please get over it.
Trains are like that uncaring rude yet unacceptably flirtatious at the same time.
Have u ever thought about arriving early at the station and standing on the line totally nude waiting for it to arrive. I know it worked for me and now I can even arrive ten minutes late and it's still waiting in the siding for me steaming between its wheels desperate for me to turn up.
Cuz It Is.
?
Because. :)

Murphy's Law!! woohoo - this answer just got me to level 2! :-)
thats the law of the land!
are you cereal?
sods law
it is just bad luck
It is called "sod's law"..Sod's Law is the name for the old and famous axiom"Anything that can go wrong, will".[1] "Toast will always land butter side down" is often given as an example of Sod's Law in action. The phrase is seemingly derived, at least in part, from the colloquialism an "unlucky sod"; a term used to describe someone who has had some bad unlucky experience, and is usually used as a sympathetic reference to the person.
The term is still commonly used in Britain, though in North America the newer eponymous "Murphy's Law" has become more popular.[2] This change may be partially due to the use of the word "sod", could be taken to mean a "sodomite". However the word has passed into very common colloquial usage and tends to now be taken to only mean a person.
Some would argue that "Sod’s Law" is similar to, but broader than, Murphy's law ("Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"). For example, concepts such as “bad fortune will be tailored to the individual” and “good fortune will occur in spite of the individual’s actions” are sometimes given as examples of "Sod's Law" in action. This would broaden "Sod's law" to a general sense of being 'mocked by fate'. In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. Murphy's technological origin on John Stapp's Project MX981 is more upbeat—it was a reminder to the engineers and team members to be cautious and make sure everything was accounted for, to let no stone be unturned— not an acceptance of an uncaring uninfluencable fate.
Some examples of “bad fortune will be tailored to the individual” include:
* Ludwig van Beethoven's loss of hearing - loss of hearing is bad fortune for anyone, but it is Sod’s Law that it would happen to a famous composer.
* Adolph Coors III, who was allergic to beer, was the heir to the Coors beer empire – being allergic to beer is bad fortune for many, but it is Sod’s Law that someone allergic to beer would inherit a beer empire.
Some examples of “good fortune will occur in spite of the individual’s actions” include:
* If you take your raincoat and umbrella with you, it will be sunny – any attempt you make to control your destiny (in this case how wet you get) will be thwarted by fate.
* You move to another city, only to meet and fall in love with someone from your hometown.
In French, Sod's law is rendered by the phrase: “c’est bien le Diable que…” (literally: “it really is Devil that…”)
fate. i've felt the same way at times.
It's ironic.don'tchya think?
just be on time and don't worry, be happy!!!
cuz it just doesnt like you. its okay, though, just say u rele wanna be friends.
Thats life. Basically what ever can go wrong at the worst posible time, will go wrong. I always try avoid this by attempting to be on time. Doesn't happen hat often.
You notice the disapointing times and remember it better
It is a law of life or a SNAFU "SITUATION NORMAL. ALL FOULED UP. When the dry cleaners ask" when do you need this back, never say,"no hurry", because when you go back to pick up your cleaning, regardless of how long you waited, it won't be ready.
what have you done!!
you've broken the space time continuum
now you must go back and not spit in to the primordial oooozz
hurry before we are all flies.
murphy's law
sods law
the same thing happens to me. and with buses too.
Simple-The train driver uses telepathy on you to plan when the train'll arrive.
Because when you are late the train is coming at it scheduled time and when you are early you must wait for it to come at its scheduled time.
"When your early your ontime, when your ontime your late" -- author unknown
proves the saying 'anything that can go wrong will go wrong'
That's Murphy's Law!
it's called sod's law
Its called Murphys law
When you drop toast, it always land on the buttered side.. it tests your human resistance to negative situations and therefore concludes that nothing in life is perfect. including my daughter's music abilities !
try the bus
