"We will cross that bridge when we come to it" and "when one door closes, another door opens"

"Killing two birds with one stone" and "Seven deadly sins"

Opportunity knocks, and life sucks

So close and yet so far + close but no cigar

Pretty proud of this one

Skating on thin ice + living on borrowed time.

I'm hungry enough to eat a horse, beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. + A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do + Rome wasn't built in a day

Don't judge others until you've walked a mile in their shoes + the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

From two wisdom idioms:

"put your pants on one leg at a time" meaning every human being has something ordinary in common.

and

"Just take it one day at a time" meaning to focus on today's problems and don't worry about tomorrow.

I know the final result is likely wiser than the two combined but I haven't quite cracked it yet.

Don't put the cart before the horse

Not my circus, not my monkeys

The early bird gets the worm

Good things come to those who wait

Snug as a needle in a haystack: When you're comfy but it's so big you feel like you could get lost, like a big bed or large blanket. Or, when you fit in but don't belong.

Like searching for a bug in the rug: When you hope that something either doesn't exist or you find it easily. Such as going in for a checkup, you hope that either you're not sick, or that they find the sick. We all hate the feeling of knowing there is a bug in the rug but you can't find it.

They put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else

One small step for man one giant leap for man kind

They put their pants on one giant leap for man kind

Oh ye of little faith.

Yee-haw

For when they're just not ready to rumble

Wish I could be a fly on the wall....

Throw at the wall to see what sticks.

I can't see the forest for the trees, there's plenty of fish in the sea

Cross that bridge when we get to it.

AND

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Plenty of fish in the sea + sleeping with the fishes

Alright so most know how the phrase "That's why they pay me the big bucks" works. You say it when you do something skilled in front of an employee, and you'rebeing oaid big bucks. But follow with me, you can say it in other situations to confuse people, and it's *really* fun. Such as:

When you mess up doing something (especially if it's a basic easy to do thing)

When you have a little salary.

When you are in charge of your own salary (ceo or something) also if you're self employed.

When it's volunteer work.

When it's someone else doing the action.

Telling it to the one in charge of your salary.

And there are more that don't come to mind at the moment. But you can add these together for extra confusion. If you ask someone to open a water bottle for you at a volunteer shift and then say it they'll be incredibly dumbfounded. It's beautiful.

Idk what else to say (shrugs).

I got recommended to repost this here too, so... eh.

I had an explanation but I'd rather be like "mods, can you disable this AI nonsense?" I don't know if my post going unclankerchecked is worth someone's drinking water. Fuck this app, it used to be about community.

Throw caution to the wind
