hard done by


this wonderful ironic phrase is used to describe someone who is acting as if fate has just dealt him or her a terrible blow, when they have, in reality, suffered a minor inconvenience and should just get on with it.
on the other hand, “hard done by” should never be used to describe someone who is trying to recover from a genuinely tragic event.
friend #1: “i can’t believe the way bob has been acting all hard done by, ever since he had to pay to get his roof fixed.”
friend #2: “it’s pathetic all right….”
or
friend #3: “i can’t believe how hard done by jessica has been acting lately.”
friend #4: “well what do you expect? her brother just died! isn’t that kind of low, calling her names when something so terrible has happened?” (storms off.)
