The best one: near miss
Why do they call a close call a "near miss"? If they "nearly missed", wouldn't they have hit?

The braille on drive-up ATMs actually has a reason. Blind people ride in Taxi's.
That and ATMs are mass producted so the walk-ups use the same key pads as the drive-ups.

Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.
