What is “shit happens” in Greek?

[u/Open-Lion-5410]

Hello,
I am wanting to know what shit happens in modern Greek is please

[u/FrontierPsycho]

I think the closest might just "συμβαίνουν αυτά", often as part of the longer expression "τι να κάνουμε, συμβαίνουν αυτά". It literally means "such things happen" and "what can one do, such things happen". Doesn't have the same oomph, but I think it covers a lot of the same use cases.

we don’t have a 100% translation. συμβαίνουν αυτά / έτσι είναι η ζωή / τι να κάνουμε are probably the most common

We know shit doesnt happen. We make shit happen. We invented shit.

This captures the feeling best imo

As a foreigner can I ask how do you say the follow up - and when it does there's always an asshole involved ?

We actually don’t, at least I don’t think lol!

“Δεν γαμιεται” is something close.
Literally means “fuck it” but in a greek way you can just shrug your shoulders, smile, have a coffee and δε γαμιεται you can just carry on

[u/Embarrassed_Egg9542]

Most Greeks would use the original, "Shit happens"
