2. "It happens." It happens? Brilliant deduction, Holmes. Yes I am very aware it happens, having just gone through it, thank you very much.
"It happens" is actually the Number One Universal Stupid Piece of Sympathy. It can be and is applied to just about any situation--breakup, death of loved one, discovery of disease, anything. And it's a stupid observation in all of them. My response is usually to knee the person in the groin. While they're rolling around in pain, I helpfully explain "It happens," just in case it wasn't clear that it happens.
