Cliches In Real Life

I waited for her, but we must’ve just missed each other.

:smiley: I’ll have to ask her if she slowed down to look at anyone.

I have crossed a bridge only when I came to it.

I have been down and out in Paris and London.

I have let a sleeping dog lie.

I dropped a deck of cards in a laundry room and they scattered everywhere. A couple got stuck in the floor drain. Yep, I had an ace in the hole.

Mine just stretches the truth.

The orange Samantha cat came through the cat door and dropped a “wee sleekit beastie” at my feet then promptly left the room. While the cat was away the mouse did play.

I’ve got to build a better mousetrap. But I don’t want the darned world to beat a path to my door.

I’ve put my foot in it a number of times.

I’ve blown off steam (pressure cooker).

I’ve been in hot water.
