Today's idiom is:
to burn someone's bridges
This idiom is used when we do something which does not allow us to go back to a previous state.
It is used quite a lot with friendships or relationships.
Example 1
A: I've lost my job. I'm not sure how I'll survive.
B: Why don't you go back to your old job?
A: I would if I hadn't burn't my bridges and told the boss I hated him.
Example 2
A: Are you inviting Tom to the party?
B: No chance. He burnt his bridges when he made a scene at the last one.
