    Not my circus, not my monkeys.

    Used this against my controlling mother, who liked to lay BS at my feet and make me think it was my responsibility to fix. When it was HER that caused the whole thing. The look on her face when I hit her with that phrase and just turned around and left was priceless.

    There a LOT of things that are just flat not your problem, even if someone else tries to make it yours.
