Life happened

An idiomatic way of describing normal life as having undermined one's plans.

We were going to travel the world and have all sorts of adventures, but we had the mortgage to pay, my parents needed someone to look in on them, I lost my job, Cheryl got pregnant - you know, life happened - and all those grand plans were forgotten.

Well that happened

A phrase used when something random and/or inexplicable has occurred. Serves as both an invitation to discuss the recent incident or a way to cut off a possible conversation about the incident.

You witness your naked father being chased by your neighbor's dog. Suddenly he is hit by a car, leaving him sprawled in the intersection while the dog licks him.

You: "Well that happened."

Your Friend: "Yep."
