I say this one and it gets on my wife's nerves due to repetition when she says she doesn't want to go to work. "If you wanted to go there, they would charge admission and change the name to Disneyland."

Shit in one hand and want in the other see which comes first. My mother used to say this to me all the time so now I hate it. Yet I find myself slipping up and saying it to my kids every once in a while.

Hold the bus
It’s a good theory

sayings involving children should have their own thread...
"when i was your age..." "you kids are lucky..." "the early bird gets the worm" "if you cant say something nice.." "im going to count to three..." "this room looks like a couple of niggers live here..." "what would uncle adolf do?"
*kidding on those last two

Hahahaha, that second-last one got me, cause I almost literally said that to my kid a while ago. Went with "crackheads" instead, just to cover my ass.

We always count our eggs before they hatch, otherwise you do not know how many eggs do not hatch.

But the saying is don't count your chicks before they hatch.. not the eggs.

Yeah, I should have added more detail. When farming you take averages and apply them to your eggs. You need to have an expected figure of how many birds will come out in order to prepare for them. Say, on average 70% of our eggs hatch. thus, we prepare for 70% of our eggs and prepare brood boxes, food and other gear at that percentage. If we do not count our eggs and expect X % of chicks to hatch, then we do not know what to prepare for.

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
No. The two terms are mutually exclusive.

Not necessarily. You would know that failing to plan for something, that requires said planning, will inevitably lead to failure (or at best, poor results). Thus, by making the conscious decision to forgo planning: you are, indeed, planning to fail. Or you're stupid. Either way: not good.

planning to fail.
Then you planned. That invalidates the first part of the statement. "If you fail to plan..."
If you failed because you decided to go stuff your puss with Big Macs instead, then you made a choice not to do anything. That's not planning, that's inaction.

Now you're just being pedantic.

'We're all in this together' - no, we are not. 'It takes a village to raise a child' - only in the absence of involved and loving parents (birth or adoptive). The village cares about what's best for the village, not for the individual.
'Time and time again' is overused and gets on my nerves. I don't hate it, but people who use it in arguments lose a teensy weensy bit of poalcat respect ... time and time again

It takes a village to raise a child
This one is to goad the relatives into babysitting for free. I can respect the practical usefulness of this saying.

We are all in this together. Stay the course. Flatten the curve. And anytime anyone mentions Trudeau.

Flatten the curve! I can't believe no one has brought that one up already.

Hate the term Hits the spot and variants such as when someone asks "Is it hitting the spot?" Also hate Third times the charm and A watched pot never boils
I feel autistic when someone says any of these

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Well, if I don't, how will I know how many don't hatch? It just sounds subversive, if you don't count the eggs, you won't know you are being stolen from.

You can't count them before they hatch, they're not chickens at that point.

Besides which if you get 75% hatching from a clutch of eggs you got a REALLY good hatch rate. So having 10 eggs and counting it as 10 chickens is stupid AF, and then if you're trying for layers you will only realistically have 2 because of the 50% that hatch 50% are males.

We never had many chickens, always got them from Quality Farm & Fleet.
