It Didn't Happen !!
34 Answers
Does anyone else get fed up with people who are whingeing about something that happened, and they try to strengthen their point by moaning about something that DIDN'T happen?
There was a guy on telly earlier, complaining that the state of the road had made him fall off his bike.
He'd hurt his arm. So, he said ...
"What if I'd fallen on my head?" (but he hadn't) (and he should've been wearing a skid lid)
And you get things like ...
"What if it had been a child?" (it wasn't)
"What if it had fallen on someone?" (it didn't)
"What if it had been plugged in?" (it wasn't)
"I could have been killed?" (you weren't)
Etc, etc ...
Isn't there enough to whinge about with things that happen, without also whingeing about things that didn't happen?

My favourite one is 'you could have someones eye out with that' I have NEVER heard of anyone having had their eye put out with anything.

The thing is when you get hurt or hurt yourself, you feel sorry for yourself and start to imagine the worst case scenario.
When I got hurt by that stupid, big, fat dog on Saturday, I then went on to think,
'What if it had dislocated my kneecap? What if it had knocked me into the river,? What if, I'd been unable to walk home? What if it had bowled Tilly over and she'd got hurt?'
I think it's human nature, or my nature anyway, to think of other things that might have happened. I didn't vocalise any of these thoughts but they did run through my mind as I hobbled home.
I'm ok now, by the way.
