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

AMKC

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.

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.

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

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..

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.

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.

Build it and they will come.

Nah you're too literal and your own previous interpretation is biasing how you perceive it to be. Everyone knows inherently that life is chaos, but things happen as they have to happen, hence they happen for a reason. Think about it in terms of a breakup. 'It happened for a reason', where clearly it did because you would still be in a relationship with them if there wasn't.

'Life is suffering' I think life is suffering but humans have a way of dealing with tragedy and finding strength and courage in the face of it. It's not that life isn't suffering but the saying on the surface appears bleak, when in actual fact, by embracing the hardship of life we can overcome it and truly enjoy the experience of living.

Always thought that saying was for when a fatty or a total bellend finally got a ride as opposed to someone meeting a soulmate.

I dont know if you're being serious or not in the last paragraph.

The customer usually doesnt have a clue which is why he is paying you the professional to do it for him.

Nonsense there is nothing suddenly wrong with the ties of society. Its just we dont have to marry the first person we ride and stay with them forever any more thankfully

Found a guys wallet on the street. I tracked him down on Facebook but he never read my messages. Emailed some recruitment agents on business cards to call him and get in contact with me. I stood in a wet dark train station for 20 minutes for a rendezvous and he got back his wallet

The head gasket on my car blew one week later

It took me a long time to get it too and I still think it's a dumb saying.

How it works is that after you've eaten your cake you no longer have any cake. To want to 'have a cake and eat it' is impossible and is a (bad) metaphor for unrealistic expectations and/or failing to understand actions have consequences.
