Is there a more patronising and often judgemental phrase in common use?

"I wouldnt wear it" comes close though.

In real life I have never, ever heard anyone say the following, only on here.

Not my monkeys, not my circus
or You do You
or Are you on glue

I need to get out more I guess

I don’t think it’s always pass agg. Or patronising. I have had people ask me if I like/would do/agree with something and I’ve said ‘no. But hey if you do, you do you. I’m not the authority on what’s good or bad. I don’t want to do it/like it but you have every right to’

thats not judgemental or pass agg. It’s acknowledging that it’s totally ok for people to choose differently.

Not patronising but certainly overused:

Not my circus, not my moneys…

As they then proceed to list all the ways they have a front row seat.

My mother's favourite, "You know your own business best."

Translated from the original passif aggresif:

"How very Anglo Saxon!"
"Don't you have a rustic side that is so charming!"

I love it; normally reserved for those who give unsolicited criticism.

Suits the wearer not the starer was my mum's favourite comment....
