The story behind the quote: This is another quote from the mega-hit sitcom from the 90’s, Seinfeld. This week’s quote comes from the appropriately entitled episode from the final episode of the 5th season, appropriately titled “The Opposite.”
During the episode, George Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) laments how all of his decisions have been bad and led him to being jobless and moving back with his parents. He then proclaims he will start doing the opposite of his instincts. When a beautiful woman looks at his direction, George hesitates to go talk to her as he thinks it would be a terrible decision but Jerry reminds him of what he said earlier by delivering the quote.
Geek wisdom: Sometimes, your gut instincts might be wrong. It may feel right but it might be a smart move to take a minute and actually think about it instead of going with your instincts.
