This phrase, coined by one Mark Hymen Able, is used in lieu of “things could be worse”. I seek no bias, i in fact think it’s Mediocre at best so what I’m looking for is a honest voting from unrelated third parties as to if this phrase is in fact witty and eloquent, as it’s author might suggest
I paid extra and took the afternoon off work to catch the earlier flight home to Perth. Upon arrival and check in we were informed flight was delayed 3 hours and we weren’t allowed to leave the terminal as it was a domestic stopover on an international flight so we had to go through customs so could not exit. I don’t have aids though so better cereal in the fridge than milk in the pantry.

When your refrigerator is so stinky and filthy it's better to just throw it away rather than clean it.

Yep, definitely a fridge goblin—a mysterious, snack-stealing, half-eaten-food-leaving creature that lurks in the shadows of your kitchen. It thrives on confusion and mild inconvenience, making sure your favorite treats are either mysteriously missing or returned in the most cursed way possible.
Step one: Set a trap.
Step two: Confront the goblin (or guilty roommate/sibling).
Step three: Demand justice.
Or just start writing your name on everything in the freezer like a survival tactic.
