0 Hello Marius, 02br
02br
00Is "To open Pandora's box" another idiom? Or just a saying?02br
02br
00If it is an idiom, would it be possible to say.."You are opening Pandora's box if you go to the boss right now".02br
02br
00Thanks in advance!:) 0-

0Yes, you can. Usually, you don't realize you've opened the box until it's too late though. "Gee, when you went to the boss with that issue, you really opened Pandora's box." But if you can anticipate that a lot of nasty things will keep coming out, you can warn about it in advance. (Hope you have better luck than Cassandra, though 05000 )010id1
