Expression: "When it rains, it pours."
Meaning: The origin of this expression is probably an area where it seldom rains, and when it does rain it rains vary hard. Over time, its usage began to mean that although something may rarely happen, it never happens in small amounts when it does. It only happens in very large numbers.
Example: "One thing after another has gone wrong today. When it rains, it pours."
