Can’t win for losing

When you voluntarily lose (to make someone feel better, to end an argument), and then the situation gets even worse. So, what you thought you would gain by losing on purpose is lost anyway.

It’s a colloquial equivalent to paving the road to hell with good intentions.

(A lot of people writing their definitions for this are trying to make logic out of the phrasing but weren’t around when this phrase was more popular, leading to incorrect definitions.)

I let my spouse win the argument to calm down the situation, and now I’m getting criticized for not sticking up for myself. I can’t win for losing!

lose a mower

losing a mowing in plants vs zombies is basically ego death because of how easy the game is, so losing a mower is ego death of the highest extreme.

" I'd rather die than lose a mower"
"Death or mower loss"
