Shit tide

When you're involved in or coming up to a quite frankly, shitty situation. Usually one that looks pretty bleak or arduous.

Billy: ''Oh no! I got 3 U's in my A-Levels!''

Teacher: ''Well Billy, looks like you're going to have to ride this shit tide out''

shoveling shit into the tide

To work hard for something with no final benefit or that will leave you worse off.

If you shovel shit into the tide, it's just going to wash it all back up onto your feet.

My car broke down again, and I'm not sure if I will get it fixed. I feel like I'm shoveling shit into the tide.
