somebody else's trouble

Steve used to say it ain't hard to get along with somebody else's trouble, as long as fate is busting someone else's bubble, you'll be just fine.

somebody else's problem

(n.) a device which allows you to render an object invisible if no one expects it to be there, as seen in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"An SEP," he said, "is something that we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That's what SEP means. Somebody Else's Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye."

Thrashing around in stinging nettle with someone else's dick

Used as an expression for people who enjoy benefits while someone else is taking the risk for it, and therefore they can give false advice, act irresponsibly without retribution.
Often associated with golden boys, politicans, or people in high positions.
Originated in Hungary.

It's easy for the politicans to pass a new act, they are thrashing around in stinging nettle with someone else's dicks, not theirs.

We can't just make someone else's fish!

(noun): A saying dating back to medieval Europe (apx 1100 C.E.). Originally meant to denote one fishmonger's unwillingness to copy his competitor's sign (and thus claim that he sold the same kind of fish), the saying has come to refer to any general unwillingness to copy someone else's work, specifically when requested to do so by a customer.

"I was wondering if you could make me some copies of this licensed product."
"Sorry but they own the rights to it. We can't just make someone else's fish!"

someone else's hangover

This is when you wake up in the morning feeling like you really tied one on the night before even though you didn't have anything to drink. Through some sort of karmic mixup, you woke up with someone else's hangover, and they woke up feeling like a champ.

me: Ouch. My head's really banging this morning.

you: Well, you didn't have anything to drink last night - must have someone else's hangover.
