Dumbass Sayings: “You Can Never Be TOO Safe”

Does that really need a sign?

There’s a popular saying that “You can never be too safe”. This is usually said by people being paranoid and over cautious about things to justify their behaviors. This saying is provably untrue especially when dealing with people who have OCD. If you have OCD and you’re checking your front door seventeen times before you leave the house to make sure it’s locked properly, that IS being too safe. You’re wasting time because you’re obsessed with the idea of being safe.

OCD is not the only reason this saying is BS. If you’ve ever been really scared of getting an STD and had sex while you’re wearing more than one condom and the woman has a female condom inside her that’s being too safe. At that point the latex is having more fun than you. Plus, if it wasn’t possible to be “too safe” then it would be totally okay to wear a helmet during sex, but most women think this makes you look really stupid and they feel like leaving immediately. Yelling "YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE!" doesn't change their mind. This saying is simply not true. End of story.

Redundant Phrases: "Good Samaritan"

Whenever you hear of a jogger who stopped to try and save a child from a burning building they're shown on the news and labeled a "Good Samaritan". The problem with this is that there's no such thing as a "Bad Samaritan" so you can just say "Samaritan".

The media likes to label people who walk by a fire without helping a "Bad Samaritan" but that's not true, that would just be a "Non-Samaritan". A true "bad Samaritan" would be someone who saw the fire that they had nothing to do with and grabbed a can of gas and threw it into the house to help the fire get worse. Has anyone in the history of Earth ever done anything like that?

Even if there was someone evil enough to want to do that they just didn't have the luck to walk by such a perfect situation for them with the appropriate tools to make the situation that much worse. So if a "bad Samaritan" doesn't exist then all Samaritans are automatically good so you can drop that off the title from here on out because you're making a goddamn fool out of yourselves!
