What you'll supposedly gain by performing all of da illegal-child-labor tasks around da ol' homestead dat your parents foist on you.
How can taking out da trash and sweeping da front porch create "machoreity" in a teenager if it just makes him childishly whine and bawl all da time???

"You can follow an 'unpopular' method or procedure 'till da cows come home' and nothing unusual will ever happen to 'justify' or 'vindicate' your unorthodox actions (and you'll likely get continually criticized by others for your chosen behavior), but then the ONE TIME when you eventually 'cave' and actually DO happen to follow the 'standard' or 'acceptable' protocol, THAT'S the solitary 'rogue occasion' when disaster will happen to strike --- something really bad will happen that would not have occurred if you had simply continued to follow your own 'pet' procedure that had seemed better/safer to begin with!"
My "super-long-term-driving-experienced" aunt had gotten fed up with my "back-seat driver" attempts to be helpful by telling her about vehicles that I'd see moving around fairly near our position when we'd be travelling someplace in her car, and so she had eventually asked me to just keep quiet and let here handle the driving herself. Well, of course, within a day or two, Murphy's Law of Exceptions decided to turn and bite me in da butt --- due to a view-obstructing sidewalk-mounted ad-sign, my aunt didn't notice an approaching car, but I did... naturally, that was the ONE TIME that I **didn't** tell her about it because she'd specifically asked me to keep my trap shut on instances like that, and so I'd ASSUMED (there's that word again!) that she'd observed the vehicle bearing down on the intersection. Well, as you might expect, we crashed, and there were multiple injuries in the other car! Can't win...!

Before you make a lackusation about someone, you should first not only examine his life to see if there might be legitimate/unavoidable reasons for his shortfall, but also take a serious gander at your OWN performance, strengths and weaknesses, etc., to see if you yourself could reasonably have managed significantly better than the dude you're dissatisfied with is doing.

A casually-flippant acronym-remark (stands for "Do as I say, not as I do") uttered by a habitual hypocrite in response to any and all "whistleblowers" who protest the consistency-deprived sinner's "talking out of both sides of his mouth" during his day-to-day behavior and interactions with the world in general.
Anytime I take exception to someone's overly-critical attitude towards me over seemingly-trivial issues, I carefully look over the criticizer's own life and try to seek out any shocking and/or glaringly-obvious ways that he himself "falls short", and I then throw these examples right back in his face. Usually he will at least grudgingly acknowledge my points as valid, shruggingly saying, "Ah, well --- touché, I guess," and then add as an afterthought, "Dais-naid".

A gourmet chef was famously asked by one of his admiring stewdents how he always created such "good food"; his oft-quoted reply was, "Start with GOOD INGREDIENTS."

A less-than-cheerful mood due to abdominal pain, either because you're suffering it yourself or you're having to expend significant time and effort caring for someone else who's going through it.
