third time's the charm 

If you're trying to do something, and twice it didn't work, you say, "Third time's the charm". This is a hopeful saying -- "it will work the third time!"

I'm trying to get something organised with a group of people and last week I said "third time's the charm". But it's still not working. And we're at five times now. So I offer this for those of us that need something to say when it gets to four times or more:

First time’s the promise

Second time’s a shrug
Third time’s the charm
Fourth time’s a boon
Fifth time’s a broken heart
Sixth time is doom.

Ha, foiled again! But third time's the charm.

third time's a charm 

Said by or to someone who has failed at something twice; used as a means for encouragement, expressing hope that things will work out on the third try.

Guy 1: Damn dude, I'm just trying to get phone numbers, but both of the girls I've hit on have thrown their drinks at me.
Guy 2: Well, third time's a charm, right? Now get back out there and leave me be.

short timer syndrome 

The behaviors that kick in when you are about to leave something, usually a job. There are two facets, one is that all of the little crap that you've been ignoring and tolerating starts driving you crazy. The other is the idea that you're leaving anyway so you can get away with anything.

The accountant with short timer syndrome was thinking about wearing flip flops to work during his last two weeks before starting a new job. And the short timer in Ann Arbor, about to move to Buffalo had to resist the urge to strangle all of the smug half-wit aging hippies.

tiger's wife mad 

the act of being so angry at someone that you find the item they cherish most and beat them with it.

Chris was so tiger's wife mad at Joe that he grabbed Joe's Wii remote and beat him with it.

Third time's a charm 

When you are trying something (activity, task, function) and you are not successful during the first two attempts, you make this comment to assure people that you will get it right the third time you attempt it.

I know that I haven't fixed your car with the first two repair jobs I did on it, but 'the third time's a charm'.
