I’ll cross that bridge..

today's rant:  

Idioms, and the idiots who use them.

Particularly, "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."

"I know he's going to get back with his ex, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."

"I didn't study one thing to prepare for today's test, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it"

"I didn't get the vaccine, and neither did the forty people who partied with me last night, and if we get Omicron, well..we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Well...

What if that bridge is your only exit, and it has missing planks and is sagging and it's made of rusting wood and it is suspended over a  river  of hot bubbling lava?

I know what some of you are thinking:

"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it"
