The squeaky wheel gets the grease American saying
It's also known as "he squeaky wheel gets the oil".
Used to to emphasize that attention is paid to the individuals who complain or cause problems
Sometimes, you shouldn't be so quiet because the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
When we were young, my younger sister got more toys from my parents because the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
This idiom is often used to express that you should accept an unpleasant situation or event because you cannot change it.
Once something has been done, you can do nothing but face the consequences.
The phrase derives from the invention of cars and they were accepted quickly in America. But back to the time when people were still new to cars, only a wheel that would squeak would be greased/oiled because back then, nobody was used to car services.
Do you see anything wrong?
To do something in an unusual way
I guess I like to run against the grain in everything I do.
Clear
