Playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin

A sarcastic saying used when a person tells another person of something mildly unfortunate that has happened to them, sometimes exaggerated in order to gain sympathy. It implies that the person speaking of their misfortune expects someone to come in playing the saddest song in the world on the worlds smallest violin to correspond with the apparent tradgedy of the situation. Sometimes the person saying this will mime playing a small violin, or try and imitate the sound of a violin.

Jade: Hello, how are you?
Laurel: I just stepped in dog poop and my new shoes got ruined and my feet smell like dog poop, and-
Jade: -Shh... hear that? i'm playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin (mimes playing small violin)

The Violinist

Someone who tells nothing but sob stories, makes excuses for failures, and seems to be busier then he actually is, hence, composing all day.

Q: Hey dude, have you been training this summer, fall semeseter is just around the corner. If you are serious about making the ASU XC team, you got to be putting in the time and be fit when the gun goes off.

A: I haven't been running as much as I want to, been busy with work, weather has been terrible out here, and have no one to train with.

Q: Dude are you serious, stop composing all day, what are you, The Violinist?

Stop The Violence

Stop The Violence is an long-running campaign of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, started by Sister Roma in 1989. It began in response to violence against LGBTQ people in San Francisco and elsewhere, with signs that were/are freely distributed to businesses and residences. When displayed, the signs alert people, at a glance, that that building is a safe space to come if ever needed. You can check out their FaceBook page for updates, information, and to find out how you can get involved. Go to FaceBook and Search: StopTheViolenceSF.

I noticed that Cliff's Hardware finally replaced their Stop The Violence window sign. It's about time! That other one was faded and barely visible. If you want one for your space check out The Sisters' FaceBook page.
