82 beat the gun
опережать события, забегать вперёд, "выскакивать" [этим. спорт. уйти со старта до выстрела пистолета, сделать фальстарт]Most of the other stores did not open until nine-thirty. It had been Marullo's thought to catch a pinch of trade by having me jump the gun half an hour. (J. Steinbeck, ‘The Winter of Our Discontent’, part II, ch. XV) — Большинство магазинов у нас в городе открывалось в половине десятого. Но Марулло, стараясь урвать хоть на грош побольше, заставлял меня открывать лавку получасом раньше.
Martin was saying... without any sign of irritation: ‘I can't help wishing you hadn't jumped the gun. You know, it might have been better to tackle Orbell later-’ (C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, ch. 9) — Мартин заметил... без тени раздражения: - Вам не следовало забегать вперед - вот что я скажу. Вы знаете, заняться Орбеллом лучше было бы попозже.
