We'll drive off that bridge when we get to it

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 67 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I usually go with “We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it”

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's my favorite one to use

I can't believe you got such a simple saying wrong. It's not rocket surgery.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I need to start using this one, I already use "burn that bridge" fairly often

[–] Krejall@ttrpg.network 17 points 1 month ago

I like "we'll burn that bridge when we come to it"

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 2 points 1 month ago
