The Engineers Dilemma:
Once you get off your butt to go see what the problem is, the problem will mysteriously solve itself for the time being.
Source: Worked in local television News Production. We would regularly call on the engineers for the problem to fucking resolve itself by the time they showed up. Always made me feel real stupid.
Was an on/off service technician/engineer for the last 20 years and can confirm. Many times I'd get a fault call just to arrive, pull out my screw driver and the issue simply resolves itself. It's as if it knows things are getting serious and it's afraid to be taken apart.
It definitely has an air of "the misbehaving kids realized the teacher is on the way back to the classroom."
