- I had recently bought a new shirt from Europe and was planning to wear it in school. I reached dorms, opened my suitcase and there it was. My perfectly new shirt, and the rest of my clothes, had been stained with delicious Belgian chocolate. My roommate saw this and the first thing he said was, “Shit Happens!”, and he walked away with a giggle. Not only did I lose a perfectly good shirt, but also a box of delicious Belgian chocolate.
- The quote is popularly seen on the bumpers of cars, bars, restaurants and sometimes even school. The quote illustrates the, humiliating, irritating, and appalling aftermath of an action.
- The quote is used in times when you get caught drinking by your school, when you step on crap in the middle of the road or get crapped on, when you finish your English essay but it gets deleted due to low battery on your computer, when you forget to do your homework, when you find out the girl you like likes someone else and when you think you’d get As on your test but end up getting Cs. “Shit happens”. You can’t expect everything to go the way you want it to in your life, if it did, it would not be perfect. You might have thought of great ideas for a class presentation, essay, interview, or even an art project. But in the end, you find out “Shit happens” when your essay contains too many errors, when you mess you mess up in reading a few lines for the presentation, when the interviewer asks too many questions you didn’t expect or couldn’t answer or when you spill a can of paint over your art work. It’s like another way of saying “nothing and no one is perfect”.
