“Expect the unexpected”
May 27, 2009
Alright, so is it just me, or is that the one of most annoying saying? Fine, maybe it’s just me.
There are a lot of overused cliches. Especially in sports. Like someone saying it’s “one game at a time” (really, you mean playing 2 games at the same time is ever actually an option?)
But for some reason, it seems that lately everytime I turn around, someone is saying something about “expect the unexpected.” I just logged onto to MSN, and what do I see? A ‘friend’ with that message next to his name. My question is this: if you’re expecting something, how exactly is it ‘unexpected’? Isn’t the whole idea of something being ‘unexpected’, is that you didn’t expect it to begin with? Look it up in the dictionary!
Do these people go to the movies wanting someone to tell them before hand the surprise ending? Hey, they want to ‘expect’ it!
