These things happen
usually used with the words “i suppose….” before “these things happen.” a phrase which is similar to sh-t happens and it is what it is. this expression, though, implies that the action that caused the saying of the phrase was so hopelessly terrible to the speaker, that him/her don’t have anything to say, and use it as a means of justifying the terrible event.
