I Don't Know What I Expected

Definitions

1. A resigned joke used when a predictable bad outcome finally happens. In engineering slang, it often follows trusting a shaky script, old service, or obviously risky shortcut one more time.

   In plain English: A resigned way to say the bad outcome was predictable even if you still hoped otherwise.

   Example: "When the unowned cron job failed again after a minor environment change, the only response in chat was 'I don't know what I expected.'"
