vente på det uungåelige
Det korrekte engelske uttrykket er wait for the other shoe to drop og beskriver hvordan man venter på det uungåelige neste skritt eller en gitt hendelse.

kjøre løpet helt ut
Jeg kjenner ikke til det engelske uttrykket, men med forklaringen i bakhodet er "kjøre løpet helt ut" vel en av mulighetene.

har man sagt A, må man si B
Curiously, few of my reference works even mention this phrase. When they do, it’s usually in the form drop the other shoe!, meaning “go on, say the next obvious thing!”, which seems to have been known for most of the twentieth century. (http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-wai1.htm)
