I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.

    “We’ll cross that water when it’s under the bridge.”

    That is by far the laziest take on any variation on that saying I’ve heard so far. 10/10, fuckin’ love it. Just a straight up “we’ll do nothing until the problem comes to us”.

    Adding this one to the noggin file.

      The actual form we use at work is “kick the can down the road” usually to make people feel bad about a lazy decision: “Yeah, you can kick that can down the road now, but it’s not going away until you deal with it.”

      One I don’t think I’ve heard yet is “that can of worms is already open, if you kick it dwn the road it will only be a bigger mess later…”
