Waiting for Godot

When one is waiting for Godot, they are waiting for something. This something will never happen and this someone will never show up. Normally this person is hopeful and certain that this something will indeed happen and this someone will indeed show up, yet they are wrong.
This phrase comes from the play of the same title written by Samuel Beckett.

ESTARGON: Let's go.
VLADIMIR: We can't.
ESTRAGON: Why not?
VLADIMIR: We're waiting for Godot.
