that’s life
a phrase traditionally used with the aim of making people feel better, giving them the idea that a problem they suffered was unavoidable. however, it is also commonly used as a mechanism to thwart suggestions as to how to deal with a problem.
a: d-mnit, the minority have spoilt it for everyone else.
b: that’s life.
a: no it’s not life, you tarred them all with one brush. here’s some other methods that would have led to much less inconvenience to the responsible majority.
b: nope. your suggestions won’t work, because the minority spoiling it is a fact of life, and therefore it is unavoidable because if it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be a fact of life.
