The customer is always right

A maxim in the retail industry wherein a customer is first priority. The sentence is a logical fallacy because it never assumes that a customer can lie, (They do. A lot.) have unrealistic expectations, (They do. A lot.) make ridiculous demands, (They do. A lot.) or even flat-out abuse the staff member in question just because. (They... Well, you get the idea.) As a result, this mindset has led to many, many, MANY instances of customers acting like entitled jackasses because they think it will get them what they want.
"The customer is always right?" More like, "The customer is usually a moron and an asshole."

Leaves from the vine

Probably the most profoundly saddening song ever written. From Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow,
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam,
Little soldier boy, come marching home,
brave soldier boy, comes marching home.

Truck-kun

A mysterious, otherworldy being of inscrutable nature. He/She/It/They will randomly manifest as a truck barreling down a highway towards a poor, unsuspecting ordinary person, often resulting in the target's demise. Rumors suggest it may actually be transporting the victims into alternate universes that resemble fantasy versions of the High Middle Ages, that the victim may begin a new, wondrous life.
Reki: Did you hear? Some poor schmuck got ran over by a truck at the intersection. They somehow didn't find his body.
Kotaro: Hmm. I reckon it was Truck-kun. He's probably learning magic and getting all the ladies now.

selective obliviousness

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.
Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.
