There's me thinking

There's me thinking is a idiomatic phrase that for some reason wasn't here on urban dictionary before, and for some equally unknown reason isn't present on any other online dictionary as well. But i'm here to bring this problem to an end.
This is something of a set phrase comes out of one's mouth whenever one thinks that someone was true but is proven wrong by something he just saw/heard/learned.
Exemples:
1:- Friend one, a bodybuilder wannabe, is caught having MacDonalds.
friend two: Whoa, wtf? And there's me thinking you were on a diet, huh?
2: -A non-binary leftist is caught eating meat.
Friend of him: lol, and there's me thinking all leftists were vegetarian.
3: If you see someone getting famous using an idea you thought you were the only one that had thought of, you can say: There's me thinking i was original. lol

Four-wheeled thinking

Limiting yourself to what you know. The opposite of "thinking outside the box".
Originating from transportation, automatically thinking you need to use a car to get to your destination; where instead you could use a motorbike, train, tram, bus, scooter, or any number of vehicles that have less or more than four wheels.
Janet didn't come up with any ideas, she's holding herself back with her four-wheeled thinking.
Sure you could do it that way, but that's some four-wheeled thinking right there.

Flip Flop Thinking

To change a thought or view when it suits the person. Used by people who don't want to admit to being wrong but not realising that it shows weakness on their part.
An example of flip flop thinking:

"I voted for the reds in the recent election because they're the best party."

*Blues win election*

"I knew the blues would win - that's why I voted for them!"

You’re thinking about it wrong

Ohohoho! Am I!? And what way is that?
The guy that Dr. JeepJorp says should be telling us what to do “It doesn’t matter that they’re being exploited and killings themselves. They don’t need to by the seeds. They don’t need to succeed. They don’t need to NOT be exploited. Shit, they don’t even need to live, my guy!”

An asshole but not a charlatan “Put isn’t there a better way? You know without all the exploitation.”

That other guy “You’re thinking about it wrong.”

Asshole “You mean.... with compassion for the people who are being exploited and killing themselves?”

The other guy (again) “Yes. That is LITERALLY exactly what I meant.”

Hym “WOW!!! Do you see what I’m talking about with these guys Joe? Like.... what the actual fuck WAS that!?”

Butterfly effect thinking

No but it’s a good thing the whore fucked a literal cripple because now if you improve yourself it’ll be because a whore fucked a deformed mongoloid and not because you want to improve yourself. It’s great! It’s fantastic even! That she rode his diseased cock. Phenomenal!
Hym “And there goes the butterfly effect thinking! I knew it was coming! Did I do this one already? No? Ok, I’ll explain. Here’s an example ‘It’s good that she screwed Rain man because then it lead you to do *blank*’ and, before she fucked the retard, a butterfly farted in Africa, which startled a rhino, which caused a stampede that traumatized the the guy who molested the retard, which led to the molestation, which led to the little girl touching that caused him to be sent to the group home in the first place! If that’s the case, by your own logic, it’s just splendifferous that he got molested because that leads to him getting his own sex cult! Hurray child molesters!!! Furthermore, for the *blank* to be ‘good’, I need to make it good. Manually. And I don’t necessarily need the outcome to be good. I’d even go as far as to say that YOU need the outcome to be good more than I do! I don’t even WANT the outcome to be good! I would much rather feed the whore some copper chef! So, why should I allow it? Open question. Why should I allow you to force me to make the outcome of something the YOU SIGN OFF ON and I DO NOT, good? What do I get? Robbed repeatedly? Good answer. Mocked and ridiculed? Awesome. You’re a master debater.”
