What saying out there do you think are a load of Bull?

For me its,

"There is someone out there for everyone"

Its utter bullsh,it. No there is not.

I am on this planet 40 odd years now and still have not met that one special person.

Maybe it's me maybe I am too odd or too weird but you no what I don't care because that is me and if a person does not get that part of me than it's just not going to happen. No point in hiding I have been hiding long enough no more I tell you no more.

Also " Don't come running to me if you fall of that wall and break a leg' has to be one of the worst saying ever. Course they are not going to run if they just broke a leg lol.

''It's not the winning but the taking part that counts''

Tbh, that is only a consolation attitude for the losers. In reality, nobody remembers you for taking part, they only remember the winners.

"What's for ya, won't pass ya".

Get bent.

"What's for you won't go by you" is another one.

"Avoid like the plague" will have to be retired after 2020 as it seems people often won't.

I was going to say this one. A really nice friend of mine often says it and it wrecks my head, but because of the sort of person she is, I haven't the heart to tell her how stupid it is.

The ones that somewhat contradict each other:

"A man is only as good as his tools"

And

"It is a poor craftsman who blames his tools"

There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. It's a tunnel course there'll be a light otherwise it's just a horizontal hole.

Of course that light is probably an oncoming train, in which aren't you the idiot of entering a railway tunnel

"Up the bum, no harm done."

Rectal prolapse.

I think this was probably true up until recently..
For whatever reason the ties that held social relationships and brought people together have been damaged, hence the uptick in the single population..
I think this will be very damaging in time..

Shut your mouth and eat your dinner.

You'll look back at this and laugh. Well, I'm still not laughing, asshole.

The customer is always right. Hate that stupid phrase with a burning passion

stratowide · 28-12-2020 03:20PM

"We'll never see the likes of them again" or "That's a record that will never be broken"

Usually in the context of sport.

Of course you will see the likes of them again and better too.

Records will be broken again and again and again.

"Money doesn't make you happy"

My Dad always says the above real sardonically followed up by "I can tell ya I wasn't happy when I was poor, sleeping in a bed with 5 of my siblings growing up"

All men are created equal.

Nice ideal but no.

Not according to the Census.

The share of the population aged 15 and over who were single increased from 41.1 per cent in 1996 to 43.1 per cent in 2006, but has fallen back to 41.1 per cent (1,544,862 people) in 2016.

The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven. Bollocks it does.

"Everything happens for a reason."

Like fúck it does.

Hyperbollix · 28-12-2020 05:50PM

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

When it comes to people, total nonsense. Go on your gut and first impressions and you'll never go far wrong. People always show you who they are.

Well, everything does happen for reasons, but those reasons are in the past, not the future.

Well yeah but usually the people who say this to you aren't well versed in causality :pac:

When your life is falling down around you and some ninny says "everything happens for a reason", yeah they're not talking about cause and effect, they're talking about some vague notion of providence or karma.... and that grates on me something desperate.

They might as well be saying "everything happens for a terrifyingly unknowable reason" and expect it to be comforting.

28-12-2020 06:12PM

Build it and they will come.

jojofizzio · 28-12-2020 06:17PM

“What goes around comes around”....the notion that “karma” will sort out horrible people....
in the vast majority of cases this just doesn’t happen

What saying out there do you think are a load of Bull?
