I agree with sentiment, and I discovered early on in my adult life :
Iedereen doet maar wat ( Dutch )
Loosely translated : Everybody just fucks around, wether it is car mechanics, doctors or laywers.
Would love to hear a more canonical term for the phenomenon.
edit: And if it is absolutely critical it is done right? Do it yourself.
- dempseye 5y agoIs this a common expression in Dutch or something you made up yourself?
- the-dude 5y agodoet maar wat is common. Je doet maar wat ( You ) Ze doen maar wat ( They )
- webnrrd2k 5y agoIn the US it's usually called "half-assing it" or doing it half-assed.
- etripe 5y agoIt's closer in meaning to "no one really knows what they're doing". Half-assing implies lack of effort. This expression implies lack of insight or direction.
