"It'll get done."

There's always an invisible person (usually a woman) hidden in the passive voice.

I used to have a boss who would promise people big, time-consuming project that I would have to carry out for him. "It always gets done," he'd say 'soothingly,' and I would say, "By me! It always gets done BY ME!"
