Whenever anything happens to me, if I even react slightly, I'm making a scene and overreacting. I bang my head (I'm tall and sometimes clumsy) - "omg why are you overreacting" She squeezes my leg and I instinctly flinch because she's hit the muscle in a weird way "wtf are you doing why are you reacting" Culmating yesterday when we were sat on the sofa and her sister randomly out of nowhere hits me with a fly swatter hard enough to leave the grid of the swatter on my skin through my t-shirt. I react in surprise and pain and she's furious at me for 'making a scene in front of her family' I just reacted like 'wtf are you doing' and even her mum was like wtf to her sister Last year I had 2 wisdom teeth out and in the 2/3 days after the surgery I had my 2nd covid jab which gave me a big fever and my teeth were chattering. I said my teeth were hurting me and she started having a go at me because 'teeth chattering doesn't hurt' and that I'm overreacting, soon realising I had 2 still open wounds which were being disturbed by my chattering do to fever. Immediate apology etc but still. I've literally never seen anyone react like this to this sort of event. Gotta be a childhood thing right? Her getting hurt and her mum dismissing it immediately so she does the same? I always wanna start a "moan about the Mrs" thread. But I'm worried it would get out of hand. Like someone might say, "I wouldn't put up with that, get rid of her", and it ending in a divorce or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's a very interesting concept, But the annoying thing now is that everyone just calls stuff a false 9. A winger playing up front is not a false 9. A striker dropping deep to get the ball isn't a false 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2022 My two worst football phrases "He's hit that too well" - absolute nonsense "You couldn't write it" - usually when something incredibly obvious happens, like a player scoring against his old club, which if you were "writing it" is EXACTLY what you would write Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t make much sense but I can see the logic behind that one. The other side is if he truly hit it well it would have flown in the corner anyway. Conclusion: Its a shit phrase.

villa4europe Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 From my experience "he's hit that too well" is reserved for when you've cleared the fence, cleared the trees behind the fence, the ball has rolled down the hill through the kids playground and is now floating in the canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t make much sense but I can see the logic behind that one. The other side is if he truly hit it well it would have flown in the corner anyway. Conclusion: Its a shit phrase. I think the problem is the word used. What they mean is he has hit it too true. Not too well. There's a skill in skuffing it, say, to the side of the keeper when that's what's required in certain situations. But in that scenario it would be hitting it 'well' because it's exactly what you wanted to do. But hitting the ball to true would give it right to the opponent. But yeah either way, I don't mind that phrase too much because we know what they're saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
