Hello everyone! What about the latest idiom?

Alright guys, your idiom of the day is " Wait for the other shoe to drop", which means "to wait for something bad to happen".

Origin: a common experience of tenement living in apartment-style housing in New York City, and other large cities, during the manufacturing boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Apartments were built, similar in design, with the bedrooms located directly above and underneath one another. Thus, it was normal to hear a neighbor removing their shoes in the apartment above. As one shoe made a sound hitting the floor, the expectation for the other shoe to make a similar disturbance was created.
