Same here, and another one that irritates me is "being left high and dry", which is a bad thing. But I envision high and dry as a good thing, isn't that where you would want to be in a storm or at sea? Truth be told I never actually looked up where a lot of these idioms come from. I just heard other people using them and then I started to use them too.
