the pickings are slim

there is no point in arguing with you because you adamantly reject common sense and scientific reality.

do not argue with stupid, naive, not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier people ; most often than not the pickings are slim and you end up wasting your time.

picking nuts out of monkey shit

Making a big deal out of something so meaningless. Usually done in order to save a few dollars and/or headaches, but disregarding the big picture.

Jon: "My customer wants this specific package installed on the vehicle he's buying."

Larry(company owner): Well we can just put on the aftermarket package instead. It's basically the same and it will cost us less."

Jon: "But I already told him we'd get the original factory parts installed. Those are what he looked at, and what we already quoted."

Larry: "I don't care, business is slow and this is what we'll do for your customer!"

Jon: "Quit picking nuts out of monkey shit you douchebag! I quit!"
