7 хватить лиха
прост.have had (got) one's share (fill) of trouble; have gone through a lot (a great deal); have seen plenty of awful thingsПомню, пришёл он ко мне злой. - Ну, - говорит, - ещё хлебнём мы с этой тихоней лиха! Бывает такая паршивая порода людей! Умишком не богаты, дела в целом не видят, а ухватятся за какую-нибудь мелочь и будут долбить! (Г. Николаева, Повесть о директоре МТС и главном агрономе) — I remember him coming to me in a rage and saying: We'll get our fill of trouble from that goody-goody. You get people like that. They're thick-skulled and can't see anything in perspective, but once they latch on to some trifle they'll hammer away at it for all they're worth.
- Ну и выпросилась я в стрелковый батальон, там и хватила лиха, и смертей навидалась, и ранений, и контузило меня там здорово... (В. Кондратьев, Женька) — 'So I succeeded in talking them into sending me to a rifle battalion, when I saw plenty of awful things - I saw people wounded and dying and then got concussion myself...'
