    Sure have..known so many people who would get unglued and fall to pieces over stuff that didn't mean diddly.

    yes of course, a mob will justify lynching.... not even know if the person lynched is guilty.

    or someone drops the pudding onto the carpet and whoever is the host can't get over it, bitching on.

    Yes I have and I don't like to do that. I prefer it going the other way...make a molehill out of mountain. That way it's much easier to climb! Happy Saturday triddler! :)

    I have never heard this phrase. Ever. Not even a little bit. And I have certainly never used it. Is it even real? Did you make it up? How silly! Mountains... Molehills.... Juice is confused!! :-s

    Yes, it's a very common saying that means blowing something out of proportion. Making a small problem seem huge.
