Hairdresser's syndrome

This is when someone in business says that they could do something so much better than the person or company you used before.

Everyone will be familiar with going to a new hairdresser for the first time and they will invariably ask' who used to do your hair?' and then proceed to say how badly they did it and why you are right to have came to them (even though they are likely to make a bigger dog's dinner of it)

The same also applies for any service you used, 'who did your garden last?', ' who do you use to clean your windows? ', 'who did your last marketing campaign?' - criticism from a new provider is hairdresser's syndrome.
Householder to friend "The new gardener couldn't believe how bad my previous gardener was"
Friend " There's a surprise, that's just hairdresser's syndrome! Your new guy has done an even worse job as far as I can see"

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
