A fictitious explanation of the origin of this phrase occurs in the 1994 movie Forrest Gump. During his capricious run, an enthusiastic fan running alongside him points out to Forrest that he has just stepped in a pile of dog feces. When Forrest replies, "It happens," the fan replies, "What, shit?", to which Forrest replies, "Sometimes". The fan is then unwittingly inspired to create the "Shit Happens" bumper sticker. wikipedia

When something happens that is usually perceived as bad or derogatory, and a friend attempts to placate the other with a single phrase
by Deathmonger72 October 18, 2017
This was first slurred by a drunken soldier in a bar in europe who was pinning over his impending divorce. The phrase was picked up by the soldier's friend who in turn made it his "catch phrase". It quickly gained popularity and propigated through out the military community. Within two years the phrase started showing up back in the United States.
The blasted soldier was trying to say: I'm stuck over here and she is back home. She met someone else. I'm over here. This is how this kind of shit happens, because he was blaming the military for shipping him overseas.
What came out of the soldier was: ah'm shruck ova heer an shees back home. Sheez met summ one cuz ah'm ova here. An thatz, Shit happens.
What came out of the soldier was: ah'm shruck ova heer an shees back home. Sheez met summ one cuz ah'm ova here. An thatz, Shit happens.
