Well that happened

A phrase used when something random and/or inexplicable has occurred. Serves as both an invitation to discuss the recent incident or a way to cut off a possible conversation about the incident.

You witness your naked father being chased by your neighbor's dog. Suddenly he is hit by a car, leaving him sprawled in the intersection while the dog licks him.

You: "Well that happened."

Your Friend: "Yep."

Sorry that happened to you 

Oh! Hey! You spoke to... Um... Shit! Kaitlin's gay friend!

Hym "That's what I said to him when he said he got raped in prison. 'Sorry that happened to you.' Now, before you get man ladies, that's probably what I would say to you if you confessed to getting raped to me. Seems like the natural response. What was his name? 🤔 I don't remember. Did he tell you he tried to molest me, slapped me in the dick, and then threw up on the couch and blamed it on me? Gay dude love me, what can I said. They aren't selecting based on fat-cock so they are usually down to bang. Not gay though, so, I'm not really getting a lot of mileage out of it."
