This is the "A watched pot never boils" phenomena. I've experienced it many
times, but have used it to my advantage. For instance, UPS would usually
show up at my house when I was on the toilet. One day I got tired of
waiting, so I figured I'd go up and sit on the toilet, and sure enough, I
hear the UPS truck pull into my driveway. The laws of physics can be
controlled.
