| 17 hours ago | comment | added | HippoSawrUs | All your content about time and hurrying but then you come up with every passing moment brings death so users think they can just generalize and go with whatever bad luck, or even incompetence, that brought about any possible scenario. Which would make the question off-topic, for various reasons. How important is time (and hurrying) in your question? Paramount or not at all? | |

| 2 days ago | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Also, The examples given don't really describe hurrying but rather already being late or nearly late, and just getting later. I don't think we need yet anotherdiscussion of 'It never rains but [what] it pours.' Idiom for things going wrong one after another | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | @Shaddy 'More haste, less speed' is an idiom (of the extragrammatical kind: here, a statement lacking a finite verb). It is also an adage or arguably a proverb. The answers overlap; do we need 'more haste, less speed' more than once? | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Shaddy | @EdwinAshworth there is a difference between idiom and proverb. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | This question is similar to: Equivalent idiom for "The hasty bridegroom has carried the women away". ,More haste, less speed.' If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. | |

| 2 days ago | comment | added | Lambie | @SuhailNazirKhan Your imagination is better than mine. I think you're right. :) The question was filled with non-idiomatic stuff. Good for an advanced English test. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Suhail Nazir Khan | @Lambie Yes, but I think they're playing the upcoming scenario in their head— reaching home late and probably having to explain to someone why they're late. And this is causing them advance embarrassment. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Lambie | Why would a slow driver embarrass you? I think that must be the wrong word here. | |
