Listen, people.

It's not "If you think ___, you've got another thing coming". It's "If you think __, you've got another think coming." Get it? See how that works? The word "think" appears in both places! As if to suggest that the approaching think is going to replace the previous think which was in error! See how it even (gasp!) makes sense that way, whereas a "thing" coming in that context is so meaningless as to be completely baffling? [*]

...your subject line makes perfect sense to me.
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Southern extraction again? I think in rural Alabamian it'd be "Stay where youse at and I [be fixin' or 'ma fixin'] ta come where you be".
