Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you American British proverb
Used to indicate something which is particularly troublesome or hazardous that you should not provoke or interfere.

Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. So we should not participate in this argument.
Calm down and leave her alone. Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
The proverb was found in the 1741 edition of Benjamin Franklin’s “Poor Richard’s Almanack.”
The proverb is a rewording of an earlier proverb contained in John Ray's 1670 book "A Handbook of Proverbs." John Ray (29 November 1627 – 17 January 1705), known as the Father of English Natural History, was a cleric, scientist, and naturalist. This proverb is based on the following proverb:
"Let your trouble tarry till its own day comes."
Do you see anything wrong?
An event or activity leads to others that are unplanned or unforeseen.
My father bought a car, then a house, then a boat. One thing leads to another.
